Madness of the Heart

Dongcheng Branch, Criminal Investigation Detachment.

"Qiao team, what did the serious crime team say?" Seeing Lan Qiao coming back, Shen Lan hurried up to ask.

"The case will continue to be investigated by us, but the details must be communicated with the serious crime team at any time." Lan Qiao took off her police uniform, suddenly noticed something, and looked at Shen Lan inquiringly.

Sure enough, Shen Lan said happily: "Then next time you report to Team Ming, can you bring me with you? Or I can go alone, and I can run errands for you."

Lan Qiao smiled, "Do you want to report to Team Ming, or to see Team Yi?"

Shen Lan immediately opened her eyes wide, her cheeks flushed, "Captain Qiao, what are you talking about?"

"Who in our team doesn't know that you have taken a fancy to Team Yi?" Lan Qiao said, "During the criminal police training last year, you always stared at Team Yi."

With her mind broken, Shen Lan covered her face, "I just like it secretly, don't let Team Yi know any of you. He likes the kind of gentle and quiet girl, I'm too rude, he doesn't like me. "

Lan Qiao wanted to refute, but after hesitating for a while, she decided to let it go.

Although the outside world likes to call female police officers police women, there are actually very few female police officers who are really beautiful, especially the female police squadron, which is always on the front line.

No matter how beautiful a girl is, she can't stand the wind and the sun. Shen Lan's facial features are very beautiful, but there is an inconspicuous scar on her forehead, which was injured when she fought with gangsters in close quarters.

Many female police officers in the squadron have been injured, and usually have little time to take care of themselves, and they are as desperate as men when they are out on missions.

If Shen Lan hadn't been a policeman, she might have been Yi Fei's type, but now...

Lan Qiao sighed, and said to Shen Lan, "Okay, next time I go to the Municipal Bureau to bring you."

Yi Fei didn't know that a policewoman was secretly in love with him, and she was directing the investigation at the Zijiao Campus of Dongye University.

Zhan Li had a motive for committing the crime, and her status as the top [-] in the National Women's Wushu Competition gave her the ability to kill Lu and Zhao.

Zhou Xinlin is at the same level as Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan, and is the person who has the best relationship with Lu and Zhao among the other students of the School of Public Administration.

When the serious crime team first arrived at the Zijiao campus, Zhou Xinlin was out for an internship and couldn't come back in time.This time Yi Fei found her, and as soon as she said a few words, tears couldn't stop falling down.

Yi Fei said a few words of comfort, and then got to the point, "As far as you know, did Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan offend anyone in the academy?"

"They don't have a good relationship with Zhan Li." Zhou Xinlin sobbed, "Zhan Li is too strong, and he is also jealous. She can't get used to anyone whose grades are higher than hers, especially like Lu Chen. He was admitted from a foreign school."

Zhan Li, more than one person has mentioned Zhan Li.

Yi Fei nodded, and said again: "Recall again, did Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan encounter any strange things?"

"Yes!" Zhou Xinlin said excitedly, "There is a man who has been harassing Yanzi this year."

This man is naturally He Yi, Yi Fei asked again: "Apart from this matter?"

Zhou Xinlin cried and thought, "Chenchen was drugged before."

Yi Fei immediately became vigilant, "Prescribe medicine? What kind of medicine? When did it happen?"

In previous investigations, no one mentioned the matter of "prescribing drugs", even Lu and Zhao's roommate Yang Le didn't know about it.

"It's not poison, it's essential oil." Zhou Xinlin said, "When the semester just started, Chenchen went to the school library to look up information, and brought a bottle of black tea that she made herself, and put it on the table. Chen left for a while, and when he came back, he drank the water and tasted the smell."

As he spoke, Zhou Xinlin began to tremble slightly, "Chenchen has already swallowed that sip of tea. If it was poison, Chenchen would probably have..."

Yi Fei said softly: "Don't panic, speak slowly."

Zhou Xinlin paused for a moment, then continued: "The school library is huge, and anyone can enter as long as they have a certificate. The seat where Chenchen sits is not monitored, so it is very difficult to check. Chenchen went to the hospital for an examination, and after confirming that nothing happened, Tell us not to speak out."

Yi Fei asked: "What do you mean by 'you'?"

"Yanzi and I." Zhou Xinlin said, "Chenchen asked a classmate who is studying medicine to test that there is essential oil in the tea, and that person poured more than half of the bottle into it. Although one sip won't poison people, it really It was scary. Afterwards, Chenchen has been paying attention and never drinks water out of sight."

Yi Fei couldn't help thinking, who would pour oil essence into Lu Chen's tea?

Is it just a prank, or is it a rehearsal before the actual poisoning?

The Zijiao branch campus is the new campus of Dongye University. The management is much stricter than the old campus. It is almost impossible for outsiders to enter, let alone places like the library that must swipe their cards.

There is a high probability that the downbeat oily essence is a member of the school.

Yi Fei asked: "Do you have any doubts in your heart?"

Zhou Xinlin hesitated for a few minutes, then whispered, "Yes."

"who is it?"

"Zhan Li."

"Team Yi!" Zhou Yuan suddenly called, "I searched Zhan Li's online traces and found that she recently searched for keywords such as 'how to hide a corpse', 'how to kill without being discovered', 'venomous poison', etc. ! Also, Zhan Li has a Weibo account, which has neither followers nor fans, and it contains..."

After hanging up the phone, Yi Fei immediately found the Weibo account that Zhou Yuan mentioned, swiped it down, and felt a chill.

This Weibo simply recorded all of Zhan Li's malice towards Lu Chen.

She referred to Lu Chen with "L", and mentioned many times that she wanted Lu Chen to die. After school started in September, the frequency of Zhan Li's Weibo posts increased significantly, including several screenshots, all of which were related to killing and destroying corpses.

A Weibo post in March this year confirmed Zhou Xinlin's words.

It was Zhan Li who secretly poured Fengyoujing into Lu Chen's black tea.

"Today I tried to poison L. I used Fengyoujing. She, a stupid woman, unscrewed the cap and took a big breath without even smelling it. Hahaha, I really regret it. If I pour it in It’s not balm, but poison, did she drink it too? Then she’s dead now, will JC find me? But it’s useless to regret, I’m not ready yet, L, you just continue to be mean Well, one day, I will give you some color to see!"

On October 10th, Zhan Li posted on Weibo for the last time:

"L and his dog went to Wanghong Mountain to see ginkgo trees. There should not be many people in Wanghong Mountain right now. Is my chance coming?"

what chance?

A chance to kill Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan?

On the 13th, Zhan Li went to Qiyue Mountain?

Why didn't Zhan Li post on Weibo after the 13th?

Facing the contents of his Weibo account, Zhan Li's face was covered with cold sweat.She shook her head slightly, and repeated in a low voice: "No, no..."

Yi Fei looked at the girl regretfully, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

Zhan Li's grades are not as good as Lu Chen's, but he is definitely not a poor student.In the college entrance examination that year, her score was much higher than that of Lu Chen, otherwise she would not have been admitted to a prestigious school like Dongye University. The success of the graduate school has proved her excellence.

In addition to grades, she is also a master of martial arts.

But the appearance of Lu Chen made her more and more unbalanced psychologically, so that she did things like pouring oil into Lu Chen's water.But now, her jealousy has intensified, to the point of plotting to kill Lu Chen.

"Where were you on the night of October 10th?" Yi Fei asked.

Zhan Li shook his head vigorously, raised his hands, covered his ears barely, unwilling to say a word.

Zhan Li doesn't say a word, but the evidence can "speak".

At 13:1 a.m. on the 04th, the surveillance on the bus platform captured Zhan Li boarding a No. 308 bus and getting off at the terminal station on Tianxing West Road.

At 2:12 and 2:32, Zhan Li was captured twice by a public camera near Tianxing West Road, seemingly waiting for a bus.

But until 10 o'clock in the evening, Zhan Li was not photographed by surveillance.

At 10:308, the last bus of bus No. [-] left. Zhan Li got on the bus with a strange expression, exhausted and lost.

Yi Fei asked the technical team to zoom in and clear the video to the maximum, but they didn't find any blood on Zhan Li's body.

Zhan Li wore the same clothes back and forth, but with Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan's way of death, it was hard not to splash blood on the murderer.If it was indeed Zhan Li who killed him, did she bring the exact same set of clothes?

If Zhan Li didn't kill her, where did she go during the few hours she disappeared?What have you been through?

"I want to kill Lu Chen! In a place like Qiyue Mountain, Lu Chen can't find helpers, and Zhao Siyan is a waste. I can easily break their necks." Zhan Li's eyes were red, "I went to Qiyue Mountain , but I didn't kill them!"

This rhetoric is not convincing, Zhan Li went to Qiyue Mountain for Lu Chen, but gave up when he got there, why?

Yi Fei asked patiently: "Because you didn't find them? Or because you saw something?"

Serious Cases Team.

After Mingshu sent Lan Qiao away, he locked himself in a small meeting and went through this disappearance case alone that people couldn't ignore.

Qiu Min, an Internet expert in Dongye City, posted his last social update on October 10th, and his last communication on his phone was on October 4th—he ordered a takeaway in Shouquan Town.From then until now, Qiu Min's mobile phone has been turned off, and the phone card has been separated, making it impossible to locate.

October 10 was the day after Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan were killed.

Even without this case, Qiu Min has a lot to do with Qiyue Mountain.

The year before last, Qiyue Mountain became known to people because of a group photo of a donkey friend from other places, but it was Qiu Min, a local big V, who promoted Qiyue Mountain as an Internet celebrity scenic spot.

From Qiu Min's social account, it can be seen that from the year before last to last year, he posted many videos and pictures related to Qiyue Mountain. The big V of the leader dominates.This year, Qiyue Mountain has attracted more attention than in previous years, but Qiu Min has released much less content about Qiyue Mountain than last year, which means that he has withdrawn from the craze and found a unique way to find the next beautiful place to enjoy autumn.

But now, Qiu Min has disappeared.

The frequency of Qiu Min's posting videos is once a week, sometimes twice a week. The content is divided into two types: "recommended Dongye food" and "recommended Dongye beauty".Every week and weekend, Qiu Min will also live broadcast for one or two hours, earning tens of thousands of rewards each time.

As for Weibo, Qiu Min will update it every day, and when there are no food and beauty recommendations, he will post selfies.

Judging by the update status of Weibo, Qiu Min disappeared on October 10th, and disappeared on October 4th at the latest. Lan Qiao and the others checked the surveillance cameras near Qiu Min's home, and found that Qiu Min disappeared on the morning of the 10th. He went out with a backpack and never came back.

However, judging by the mobile phone communication records, Qiu Min completely disappeared from the public eye only on October 10, that is, after Lu and Zhao were killed.

Now the female police squadron is looking for the delivery man who met Qiu Min that day, but there is no result yet.

The exact date of Qiu Min's disappearance is related to the nature of his disappearance.

Missing is nothing more than two situations, one is to leave voluntarily because of something, and the other is to encounter an accident.

Qiu Min is a well-known Internet celebrity, with rewards from fans and advertising expenses, and a monthly income of more than [-], what would make him choose to leave without saying a word?

If there was an accident, who would have hurt him? Is it the person who ordered takeaway in Shouquan Town on the 14th with his mobile phone?

Shouquan Town, Shouquan Town...

Mingshu pinched his eyebrows and took several breaths.

A murder case and a disappearance case are all related to Qiyue Mountain in Shouquan Town, so is Qiu Min's disappearance related to Lu and Zhao's murder?

The social circles of Qiu Min and Lu Chen Zhao Siyan do not overlap, there is no sign that they know each other, but Lu Chen Zhao Siyan may have seen the video he made.

Mingshu browsed the videos that Qiu Min posted in the past, and his eyes stayed on the most popular one recently.

"Chengjianghu" Jianghu Restaurant.

Ming Shu remembered that this was the very popular restaurant next to "Baby Shrimp".

A restaurant for ordinary people. It sells cheap dishes. The per capita consumption is 80 yuan. The interior decoration of the store is average, and the appearance of the dishes is not outstanding. The hospitality of the boss.

That day at "Baby Shrimp" with Xiao Yu'an, the lady selling mung bean soup and sweet soy milk was selling "Amway" face to face, Ming Shu didn't even bother to go to "Cheng Jianghu" to try something new, and felt that it might be an exaggeration.But after watching Qiu Min's video, Mingshu had the idea of ​​trying it someday when he has time. It can be seen that Qiu Min, as a big V, does have some skills in selling "Amway".

Mingshu looked at the time when the video of "Cheng Jianghu" was released, just before the serious crime team went to "Baby Shrimp" to investigate the Sha Chun case.

At that time, in the third section of Longcheng Road, the most popular one was undoubtedly "Baby Shrimp".

"Cheng Jianghu" has surpassed "Baby Shrimp" in the limelight now, is it because of Qiu Min's recommendation?

Ming Shu first searched for "Cheng Jianghu" on Weibo, and found that "Qiu Shan Wang Mian"——Qiu Min's screen name—was at the top of the related words.Click in and have a look. Many netizens said that they went to "Cheng Jianghu" with the mentality of giving it a try after watching the video of "Qiu Shan Wang Mian". Delicious Jianghu dishes, the attitude of the boss and waiters is also first-class, I will definitely go again, and people around "Amway" will go.

Ming Shu opened the largest local communication forum in Dongye City, "Hi Bian Dongye", searched for hot posts, and quickly found the relevant content of "Cheng Jianghu".

It turned out that "Qiu Shan Wang Mian" was the first to recommend "Cheng Jianghu" on the Internet. The first batch of customers who went to try it out were all very satisfied when they came back, and the word-of-mouth effect came out at this time. Then, other local big V They followed up the popularity one after another, and almost all posted "Cheng Jianghu" tasting reports, each with their own angles and words, almost all of which were praises. Only one big V said: "Maybe it's because the expectations are too high. A little disappointed."

This big V is usually known for his poisonous tongue. Netizens have long regarded him as a "bugger" and no longer care about his words.

With the ferment of word-of-mouth effect, "Cheng Jianghu" has become the most popular restaurant in the third section of Longcheng Road in just two months, and the old shop "Shrimp Baby" beside it is not as good as it is.

Mingshu noticed that many netizens evaluated the two together because "Baby Shrimp" and "Cheng Jianghu" are adjacent to each other, their dishes overlap a lot, and they target the same crowd, and "Baby Shrimp" is an old-fashioned popular restaurant.While touting "Cheng Jianghu", netizens belittled "Baby Shrimp" to nothing, and many comments were even inaccurate, which meant to criticize others.

Against the background of "Cheng Jianghu", it is not incomprehensible for "Baby Shrimp" to decline rapidly in a short period of time.

On the surface, the decline in popularity of "Baby Shrimp" is due to the rise of "Cheng Jianghu" next door, but it can be investigated in depth, but it has nothing to do with the video made by Qiu Min two months ago.

Qiu Min is a local big V, an Internet celebrity, and has countless fans. His words, a set of photos, and a video can bring huge attention to a restaurant that is just starting up.

Of course, the success of "Cheng Jianghu" is not only due to Qiu Min's video.Taste is everything in the restaurants of the masses. If the dishes of "Cheng Jianghu" are not good, Qiu Min will post ten wonderful videos in a row. People will eat it once, but they will not eat it a second time, and they will not spread it by word of mouth. , "Amway" to relatives and friends around.

But if Qiu Min didn't recommend "Cheng Jianghu"...

Maybe after the accumulation in the early stage, "Cheng Jianghu" will still become popular, but it will definitely not become popular so fast, let alone quickly steal away the customer source of "Baby Shrimp".

When leaving "Baby Shrimp", Xiao Yu'an said something to the effect that many things are ordinary good and ordinary bad, but if someone with influence recommends them, more and more people will follow suit and praise them. It will become "excellent", and conversely, if many people follow the trend and step on a restaurant, the bad will become "extremely bad".

Both the past glory and the current embarrassment of "Baby Shrimp" are examples.

Humans are social animals, and most people follow suit.

Mingshu himself is no exception, otherwise he would not have taken Xiao Yuan to eat "Baby Shrimp".

The background records of the platform show that Qiu Min accepts promotions every month, which is his main source of income, but among half of the scenic spots and food he recommends, quite a few of them do not charge promotion fees, in other words, they are his own Go, eat, feel like it, and promote it on your social platform for free. This is also a way to enrich content and increase popularity.

"Cheng Jianghu" seems to fall into this category.

Before "Cheng Jianghu", there were still many little-known small restaurants in Dongye City that became popular because of Qiu Min's videos, and he himself has accumulated a lot of popularity by relying on these interesting videos, and his popularity continues to be transformed into when talking about promotional cooperation. Capital.

Win-win.

But has anyone suffered a big loss because of Qiu Min's recommendation?

Of course there are, such as "Baby Shrimp", and stores similar to "Baby Shrimp".

Mingshu leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes.

If Qiu Min encounters an accident, these shopkeepers who seem to have nothing to do with him but have been "hurt" by him have sufficient motives for committing the crime.

And if Qiu Min left on his own initiative, why did he go to Shouquan Town?

"Mount Qiyue, Ginkgo Leaf, Haijing Temple, Lu Chen, Zhao Siyan..." Ming Shu whispered to himself, and suddenly opened his eyes because of a leaping thought.

A while ago, Xiao Yu'an pointed out several suspicious points of the "1013 case", and put a "rope" on him. Although the "rope" was a joke, he did not get stuck in a dead end because of this "rope".

Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan died strangely. They just went up the mountain to enjoy the autumn, but they never came down again.

What was the murderer's motive for killing them?

One possibility is that the murderer had no intention of killing them, but ended up having to kill them!

Because they saw, or photographed something that they shouldn't see.

Mingshu suddenly woke up.

There is a secret on Qiyue Mountain that has not yet been known. The murderer took Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan's lives because they accidentally broke through this secret. After the killing, how to dispose of their bodies became a big trouble.As long as the corpse cannot be completely disappeared, there will be a day when the corpse will be discovered.Once the body is exposed in the police's field of vision, the police will follow the clues to find out.Any of the characteristics exhibited on the body may lead the police to the murderer.

So the murderer thought of a way to mislead the police.

Mingshu's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and he repeatedly thought about the logical loopholes in this idea.

If so, what exactly did Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan break through?

"Master, are you looking for me?" Fang Yuanhang pushed open the door, as if he had just come back from outside.

Mingshu asked: "Did you find anything in Haijing Temple?"

"There are a lot of weirdos." Fang Yuanhang told the situation of enlightenment, hatred, enlightenment, and enlightenment. "I want to search Haijing Temple, but it is a religious place after all."

"I'll deal with the search." Mingshu said, "I now suspect that there is something we don't know about Qiyue Mountain."

"Huh?" Fang Yuanhang was exhausted, his mind was not spinning as fast as usual, "Then what secrets can there be on the mountain?"

"The last time we were on Qiyue Mountain, we focused all our attention on the two corpses. The trace inspection only searched around the murder case itself." Mingshu said: "This is likely to miss key information."

Fang Yuanhang asked: "Do you want to search again?"

Mingshu asked back: "When you went to Zhahaijing Temple later, did you go to the place where Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan were killed?"

Fang Yuanhang shook his head and touched his neck subconsciously, "Xiao Man said that everything that can be checked above has been checked, so I will..."

"It's okay." Mingshu said, "I'm not blaming you, it's just that I suddenly had an extra thought."

Fang Yuanhang said: "Then what are we looking for? There should be a purpose, right?"

Mingshu walked to the window, half-closed his eyes.

What is it that the murderer is afraid of exposing?

A murderer with brutal methods and great skills, who must have killed someone before, in the dense forest where there is no one, what is he afraid of being exposed?

Corpse?

Murder scene?

Mingshu licked his lower lip, "Tell me, is there one or even more corpses near the place where Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan were killed, or in a place farther away?"

Nancheng District, Section [-] of Longcheng Road.

Before the dinner peak, the door of "Baby Shrimp" was opened, and the lights inside were only half turned on.

Some of the waiters are cleaning, and some are ordering freshly delivered ingredients.

Sister Qin, the oldest, had an ugly face. She stood at the door of the store stretching her neck and looking around while making a phone call.

The mobile phone has been placed by her ear for a long time, but the sound coming from the receiver is still mechanical.

"Big Sister Qin!" Xiaoxi ran out of the store, "Boss and the others still can't get in touch?"

Sister Qin put down her mobile phone and said in local dialect: "It's strange, where did all this family die?"
