Madness of the Heart

Although "Baby Shrimp" is no longer a small restaurant, Huang Hui and Qin Xiong still maintain the habit of when they first started this business - take turns to guard the shop every day, no matter what happens, one of them will definitely Will stay in the store, watching every account vigilantly.

"Baby Shrimp" does business at night, Huang Hui usually arrives earlier than the staff, and all the dishes delivered have to pass under her eyes.

But today, the ingredients had already arrived, neither Huang Hui nor Qin Xiong came, the landline at home couldn't get through, and their mobile phones were also turned off.

Sister Qin had to call Qin Ke, the eldest daughter of Huang and Qin, but Qin Ke's cell phone was also turned off.

"Ask Qin Xu?" Old Liu said, "It's not like the whole family doesn't answer the phone, right?"

"I don't know Qin Xu's number, that weird kid, even his parents are afraid of him!" Sister Qin looked next door after speaking.

It is also in the stage of preparing for business. There are already customers sitting on the stools outside "Cheng Jianghu". The boss in his thirties came out with melon seeds and peanuts, distributed them to the guests with a smile on his face, and told the guests Let's talk later.

Sister Qin sighed heavily, and complained: "These two don't even look at how they do business!"

Lao Liu asked: "Then what are we going to do today? The vegetables are all piled up in it, are you still doing business?"

Sister Qin untied the apron and stuffed it into Lao Liu's arms, "Do it! Why not? Now that the guests are taken away by the next door, we are closing the door at this time, and others must think that we have closed down!"

Old Liu said, "Where are you going?"

"The couple's family!" Sister Qin said: "It must be a fight at home. If there is a problem, it will be troublesome. I'll go and see!"

Lao Liu shook his apron and said to himself: "What's the use of you going to see it? Be careful to hit you together."

Relying on the accumulation of more than ten years, Huang Hui and Qin Xiong have already bought two houses and a Porsche, but they usually drive Santana more often. One of the two houses is for their daughter and the other is for their son. He still lives in the old house on Longcheng Road.

Sister Qin has been there countless times, she found her way, and she got there in a quarter of an hour.

The old houses are close to each other, and some old people who had an early dinner have already started cooking.Sister Qin walked through the winding alleyway, sneezing continuously due to the smell of oily smoke.

Huang Hui and his wife live on the fifth floor. There is no elevator.This structure is very characteristic of the times, and it seems extremely inconvenient now, but in the past, each household had seven or eight people, and this structure could accommodate as many people as possible.

Sister Qin was panting from crawling, and she kept cursing: "Damn it! You two are fighting, it's hard for me!"

The iron gate of 5-8 and the wooden door inside were closed tightly. Sister Qin leaned against the door and listened for a while, but she didn't hear anything.

"Strange." She said, "Not at home?"

Already here, Sister Qin doesn't plan to just go back.She called "Xiongzi" first, and then began to knock on the door "Kang Bang Bang".

After knocking for more than ten minutes, no one came to open the door, but the other two households on the same floor opened, and a middle-aged man scolded: "Damn mother, you're fucking mourning!"

Sister Qin scolded back immediately: "I'll call your mother mourning!"

The middle-aged man rushed over while cursing, making a gesture to hit him.

Sister Qin is not one who dares to scold and dare not do anything. When she was young, she picked up a pole in the countryside and threw it on people's heads. Now that she has nothing in her hand, she just bumped into a man with her shoulder.

The two wrestled into a ball on the ground. The young man upstairs poked his head to look at it, and called the police with the mentality of watching the show.

When the police from the police station arrived, Sister Qin was crying and making noise on the ground with her hair disheveled.

The policemen, one head and two elders, were about to take them back to the police station, but Sister Qin said: "I won't leave, you guys came at the right time, help me open this door!"

The policeman said: "We are not responsible for unlocking."

Sister Qin said: "I don't care. When you come, you have to open the door. I'll look for someone! The proprietress of our shop and their daughter are all gone, and my son doesn't know where he is. I really have no choice but to Come to their house!"

The middle-aged man scolded: "I can't find it, I beg it!"

"Your whole family is dead!" Sister Qin cursed back viciously.

Seeing that the two were about to fight again, the police hurriedly stopped them and reported the situation to the captain. Not long after, other policemen came.

Sister Qin calmed down now, and explained the situation honestly, but the police who rushed over knew Qin Xiong, and also called Qin Xiong, but they really couldn't get through.

At this time, someone came out of the house again, saying that they heard 5-8 fighting last night, but did not see the couple coming out today.

Sister Qin panicked, "Don't kill someone, right? Otherwise, why can't anyone be contacted? Their girl also..."

"Captain." A small policeman sniffed at the door, "It seems to have a smell in here."

"What's the smell?"

"I think it's blood!"

"Ah!" The middle-aged man who was so arrogant just now jumped in shock, "Is he really dead?"

In the evening, after completing a series of procedures, the doors of rooms 5-8 were opened, and a strong smell of blood gushed out.

There is a narrow corridor at the entrance. Looking in from the outside, the view is not wide.

The policeman walked in cautiously, and saw a house of horror——

Two "blood men" were sitting on the sofa. Their exposed skin was almost covered in blood, and they could be said to be completely bruised. Their eyes and mouths formed three "blood holes", and a large number of human body fragments were scattered on the ground;

In the bedroom, a man was lying naked on his back on the bed, the sheets were soaked in blood, and his eyes and mouth were smashed like the 'blood man' on the sofa;

In the study room, a well-dressed woman sat on the bay window, the blood gushing from the huge gap in her neck made her light-colored skirt lose its true color.

There was no sound in the room, and the three policemen were all in a daze.

Sister Qin came in at some point, and when she saw the "blood man" on the sofa, she let out a piercing and piercing scream.

"This, this is Mie, Miemen?" The voice of the youngest policeman trembled, "Four, four people, this family seems to have only four people. All of them were killed at once?"

The "Miemen case" is definitely not something that a street police station can handle. The case was quickly transferred to the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Nancheng Branch, and then reported to the Criminal Investigation Bureau.

No matter which city it is in, the "Miemen case" is a serious case, but the serious crime team is now focusing on the "1013 case", Xiao Yu'an deliberated for a while, and called Mingshu over.

"This is..." Mingshu frowned when he saw the case report from the branch office, "The victim is the owner of 'Shrimp Baby'?"

"The faces of the four victims were severely damaged, and their identities are still being identified." Xiao Yu'an said, "But the first scene was at their home, and the deceased who was not disfigured has been determined to be Qin Ke, the eldest daughter of the Qin family. If there is an accident, the four deceased should be the boss's family."

The four members of the Qin family, Qin Xiong, Huang Hui, Qin Ke, Qin Xu, and Ming Shu have met two of them—when investigating the Sha Chun case, they had learned from Qin Xiong about the party at the "Baby Shrimp" by the Folk Music Club not long ago. In Qiyue Mountain, I saw Qin Xu acting strangely again.

They have been killed?

why?

What kind of deep hatred can kill everyone in a family?

Mingshu didn't speak for a while, and walked around in front of Xiao Yuan with his head down.

Not long ago, he also analyzed the relationship between Qiu Min's disappearance and "Baby Shrimp".

Assuming that Qiu Min's disappearance did not leave voluntarily, but was killed by others, then who is most likely to attack Qiu Min?

Qiu Min used his influence on the Internet to help many unknown restaurants. In the eyes of most people, he was kind and generous, and he did not do any crimes. Fans found delicious food that they had never eaten in his videos. , a niche scenic spot that has never been to, the popularity of the restaurant that he has chosen has skyrocketed, from empty to full of guests and friends, and he himself has gained a new wave of attention. For the three parties, every time he "sells Amway", All a good thing.But will those shops that he does not favor - such as "Shrimp Baby" - hold a grudge against him?

Mingshu even wondered if Qiu Min's disappearance might have something to do with "Baby Shrimp".

But now, Qin Xiong's family may have been killed.

Mingshu suddenly whispered: "Qin Xu..."

Xiao Yu'an said, "The youngest son of the Qin family."

"Yes, the youngest son of the Qin family, I met him at Qiyue Mountain." Mingshu roughly described the situation at that time, and then said: "I just had an idea to overturn all the previous analysis. Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan It was because they bumped into something on Qiyue Mountain that they were silenced. What we saw later was not the real psychological projection of the murderer when he committed the crime."

This line of thought was originally the "rope" that Xiao Yuan put on Mingshu's body, Xiao Yuan nodded, "Well, continue."

"What about Qin Xu?" Ming Shu held his chin, "Why were he and his family killed?"

Xiao Yu'an said, "It seems that you are already planning to take this case."

Ming Shu sighed, "First, this may be a 'Miemen case', and solving the 'Miemen case' is the responsibility of the serious crime team, and secondly, Qin Xu's behavior is strange, and he took his camera to Qiyue Mountain not long ago , and was the first person to discover Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan, did he bring the murder of his family? In this way, the murder of the four members of the Qin family may have something to do with Qiyue Mountain. I can't let go of this clue."

"I heard that a case from the Dongcheng Sub-bureau has also been transferred to you?" Xiao Yu'an asked, "Is it difficult?"

"You mean the disappearance of the internet celebrity blogger?" Mingshu shook his head, "That's not true. It's still Lan Qiao and her female police squadron who are investigating, but if there are any doubts, Lan Qiao will tell me."

Xiao Yuan took his coat, "Then let's go."

Mingshu was surprised, "Where are you going?"

Xiao Yu'an said: "You are the captain, why don't you go to see the scene?"

"Of course I'm going!" Mingshu said, "I'm asking where are you going?"

"I'll go to the scene too." Xiao Yu'an said, "Reduce the burden on my captain appropriately."

Section 3, Longcheng Road, 5-8, Building [-], Old Gear Factory.

The trace inspector of the serious crime team and the trace inspector of Nancheng Branch are working together.Mingshu stood in the living room, looking at the two corpses whose original appearance could no longer be recognized, his eyes gradually shifted from their faces to their chests.

Although they were at home, neither of them changed the clothes they went out into home clothes. It is possible that they were killed just after returning home, or they were killed when they were about to go out.

The ground was stained with blood, and the scattered human body fragments had basically been collected and numbered one by one, all of which were cut from the victim's cheek, arm, chest, abdomen, legs, and an eyeball.The left breast of the deceased female on the left was cut off and was not thrown on the ground with other fragments, but placed on the TV cabinet opposite the sofa.Judging from the blood on the TV screen and the top, it should have been placed on top of the TV at first, and then fell off.

This is undoubtedly a very infiltrating picture.The victims sat side by side, as if they were watching TV, and their eyes must fall on the breasts on the TV.

Mingshu let out a breath, turned around and looked into the back room, and saw Xiao Yuan observing at the door of the study.

"Ju Xiao?" Ming Shu called out.

Xiao Yuan waved, "Come here."

Mingshu hurried over.

"Of the four victims, Qin Ke is the only one whose identity has been confirmed, because her face has not been damaged." Xiao Yuan walked to the bay window, squatted down, and looked at the beautiful woman who died from below, "Why didn't the murderer destroy her face?" Her face? Because she thought she was beautiful, so she was 'lenient'? Or some other reason? The bodies of the four victims were all mutilated, and the murderer had an obvious tendency to vent his anger."

Ming Shu stood behind Xiao Yu'an, bent down, and put his hands on his legs.

Xiao Yu'an continued: "This is the home of Qin Xiong and Huang Hui. It is meaningless to prevent the police from determining their identities by destroying their faces. Moreover, the murderer only destroyed the victim's face, not his fingerprints."

Mingshu thought for a while, "I'm not going to analyze the murderer's psychology from the situation at the scene."

Xiao Yuan raised his eyes and said softly, "Have you learned a lesson from the Qiyueshan case?"

"Can we not learn? Criminal investigation technology is improving, but murderers are also evolving. Those murderers with strong anti-reconnaissance awareness may no longer be satisfied with clearing their own traces and avoiding surveillance." Ming Shu said: "I will go to Xingxing first." Take a look at the teacher."

Xiao Yuan nodded, "Go."

Xing Mu was currently in the bedroom, doing a preliminary autopsy on the naked male body.

"This person should not be Qin Xu." Xing Mu said, "I've seen Qin Xu before. He is thinner. This person is stronger than Qin Xu."

Mingshu also noticed that Qin Xu's hair was longer, while the victim's hair was shorter.

"If this person is not Qin Xu, then where Qin Xu is now is very important." Ming Shu shouted: "Zhou Yuan!"

Zhou Yuan ran over wearing shoe covers, "Ming team, what's the matter?"

Mingshu said: "Qin Xu's cell phone is turned off, you can do a location and find him for me."

"I'm going right now!"

Mingshu turned his gaze back to the corpse on the bed. There were countless wounds on the victim's body, but it was easy to tell that the wound on the chest was the fatal one.

"The victim was repeatedly stabbed in the chest with a sharp object, the heart and aorta were ruptured, and the neck was choked." Xing Mu gestured twice, "The murderer was wearing gloves, pressing the victim's neck with his left hand, and holding the sharp object with his right hand. , stabbed into the victim’s chest. Judging from the wound, the murder weapon had hooks and bloodletting holes, and it was not a common knife or dagger.”

"But it was ordinary knives that caused cuts on other parts of the body." Xing Mu said again: "There is no life reaction, and it was caused after death."

Even if Xing Mu didn't say anything, Mingshu had judged that the stab wounds all over the victim's body were caused after death.

Cutting the body with a knife is tantamount to Lingchi. It is impossible for the victim not to yell, and the sound insulation effect of this kind of densely populated old residential building is not good. Once someone keeps yelling, neighbors will inevitably find out.

"The victim's arms and legs were bound. Judging from the cable ditch, they were bound by ropes such as electric wires." Xing Mu continued: "But there were four victims in total. Under what conditions did the murderer bind them up? Come to think of it, it’s hard to say now, I have to go back and do an autopsy, and then combine it with other investigations to make a comprehensive judgment.”

Ming Shu asked: "When did he die? The residents of 5-6 said that they heard the sound of fighting on 5-8 in the middle of the night yesterday. The staff of 'Shrimp Baby' confirmed that it was Qin Xiong who was guarding the store last night. The store closed at 3:3 am and left. Based on the time when Qin Xiong returned home, the murderer committed the crime after [-]:[-] am?"

Xing Mu shook his head, "But judging from the degree of rigor and body spots, the time of death of this victim was between 1:3 and [-]:[-] this morning."

Mingshu folded his arms, frowned slightly, turned around and looked in the direction of the living room.

Although the identity of the corpse in the bedroom is temporarily a mystery, judging by the attire, the two victims in the living room are most likely Qin Xiong and Huang Hui.

Qin Xiong didn't get home until 3:5 in the morning, but the other person who died in the 8-3 room died before [-]:[-], that is to say, before Qin Xiong returned home, the murderer had already killed the other three people in the house. Kill and wait for Qin Xiong to come home?

There was no sign of the door lock being broken. If the murderer did not enter through the window, he either had the key himself, or someone in the room opened the door by himself when he heard the knock.

The killer was an acquaintance, most likely a close acquaintance, of the victim.

"Leader." Xing Mu shouted.

Mingshu came back to his senses, "Huh?"

"I think the possibility that the murderer is Qin Xu is very high." Xing Mu said, "Last time I heard from Fang Yuanhang that Qin Xu seems to have a twisted mind."

"I know." Ming Shu said, "I'll analyze this when I go back to the meeting. I guess Zhou Yuan should have found something by then. Now there are four corpses that need to be dissected, so you just need to focus on the autopsy. Xing Brother, you have worked hard."

Xing Mu was still the same, hating being criticized, being praised and being cared about and feeling uncomfortable, he pursed his lips and said in a muffled voice, "Okay, leader. Got it, leader."

Busy until early morning, the trace inspector completed the extraction of traces inside and outside the 5-8, and the DNA test results of the three victims have also been sent to Mingshu.Mingshu immediately summoned his team members to hold a case analysis meeting in the No. 2 office of the serious crime team. Xiao Yuan did not leave, but sat in the diagonal position of Mingshu.

"The identities of the victims have been confirmed. They are Qin Ke, 21 years old, Qin Xiong, 45 years old, and Huang Hui, 43 years old. These three are father and daughter, mother and daughter, husband and wife relationship." Ming Shu said: "The one in the bedroom The first victim was not Qin Xiong and Huang Hui's son Qin Xu, but Qin Ke's boyfriend, Yu Xiaohai, 19 years old this year. Only two autopsy results have been released for the time being. Wait a minute, Teacher Xing will come over in a while. Xiao Man will talk about the scene first. investigations."

"Yes." Xiao Man said: "The murderer did not clean up the scene. We have extracted a total of six sets of fresh footprints, four of which have been confirmed to belong to the four deceased. In the other two groups, there must be footprints of the murderer. From shoe size, Judging from the shoe pattern, the unknown footprint No. 1 probably belongs to a male. In addition, I compared the shoes and footprints left by Qin Xu on 5-8, and the unknown footprint No. 2 belongs to Qin Xu."

Zhou Yuan raised his hand and said, "I'll interrupt. According to the network location and public surveillance, I'm sure that Qin Xu is near Huangqiu Road in Beicheng District. Brother Xu Chun has already rushed over. Qin Xu is a sophomore in high school and has classes all day today, but he He didn’t go to school in the morning, but at 11:24 in the morning, he appeared near the second section of Longcheng Road. At around 8 o’clock last night, Huang Hui called him, and the call lasted 2 minutes.”

"The second section of Longcheng Road is his home." Mingshu thought for a while, and said to Xiao Man, "Continue."

Xiao Man nodded, "I focused on checking all the windows and door locks of 5-8. There were no traces of people climbing on the windows, and the dust was not damaged. As for the door locks, there were fingerprints of all the victims except Yu Xiaohai, and there were Qin Xu's fingerprints. The murderer—whether it is Qin Xu or not—wears gloves when committing the crime, and the fingerprints are of little significance. The most important clue now is the unknown footprint No. 1. Who is this person, and why did he appear in the Qin family? "

Yi Fei said: "It's very abnormal for Qin Ke to go home suddenly."

Mingshu looked over, "What did you find out?"

Qin Ke was the first victim whose identity was confirmed, and his death status was different from the other three.Not long after the serious crime team arrived at the scene, Mingshu sent Yi Fei to investigate Qin Ke and his relationship.

In Qin Ke's body, there may be a breakthrough in the investigation.

"Although Qin Ke and Qin Xu are siblings, their personalities and grades are very different. Qin Xu is withdrawn and perverse, but his grades have been at the level of 'excellent' since he was a child. Qin Ke has a cheerful personality and can't study well. I didn’t go any further.” Yi Fei said: “With the family conditions of the Qin family, it’s actually very easy to buy a degree certificate for Qin Ke to go abroad. If Qin Ke doesn’t want to study, Qin Xiong can also help her with the contacts he has established for many years. Find a suitable job. Otherwise, Qin Ke can still start a small business by himself. But since leaving school at the age of 18, Qin Ke has never worked."

"Three years, neither studying nor working." Mingshu said: "The Qin family can afford to support her, but this kind of family relationship..."

"The Qin family's family relationship is very bad." Yi Fei said: "Qin Ke has no income, and Huang Hui pays all the monthly credit card bills. That Yu Xiaohai is Qin Ke's boyfriend who just made a month ago. Guess he is what for?"

Xiao Man said, "Tony?"

Yi Fei shook his head, "It's the waiter in 'Chongshan'."

Mingshu narrowed his eyes, "It's interesting that he is from 'Chongshan'."

"Chongshan" is a famous nightclub in Dongye City. It only serves women. The waiters inside are "ducks" in the common saying.

"My daughter raised a 'duck', how can this family relationship be good?" Xiao Man said disdainfully: "If my daughter is like this, I will break her leg!"

Fang Yuanhang choked: "Return your daughter, you don't even have a girlfriend!"

Mingshu said: "Since the relationship is so bad, why did Qin Ke and Yu Xiaohai share the same room with Qin Xionghuanghui on the night of the incident?"

At the same time, Huangqiu Road, Beicheng District.

The man in the hood stood outside the luxurious "Chongshan" clubhouse, with a gloomy and arrogant smile on his lips.
