Madness of the Heart

Seeing that it was Xiao Yuan who came to the Psychological Research Center instead of Ming Shu or Yi Fei, Lin Jiao showed a look of surprise.

"Xiao Bureau?"

"Ming team has something to do and can't leave." Xiao Yu'an said, "I'll take a look on his behalf. Have you found Qin Xu's problem?"

Lin Jiao led Xiao Yu'an into the office, with regret in his eyes, "Qin Xu was probably ruined by his sister."

"Qin Ke?" Xiao Yuan stopped, "Qin Xu's current personality is caused by Qin Ke?"

Lin Jiao opened the door of an office with her fingerprints, "Let's come in and talk."

Qin Xu was not in this office, and the working instruments made a blunt and cold sound. There were several reports full of complex numerical values ​​on the desk, and a few very abstract paintings beside them.

"These paintings were sent over by the Serious Crime Squad." Lin Jiao said, "They were all found from Qin Xu's personal belongings. They were his works five years ago, that is, when he was 12 years old."

Xiao Yu'an picked up one of them, and on the right side of the picture was a huge concentric circle, drawn with a red pen, surrounded by a circle.And this circle is run through by messy black lines, which at first glance looks like an ugly hedgehog.On the left side of the screen is a small blue circle. Compared with the red concentric circles, the blue circle is very small, but there is a thick black line on the right side of the blue circle.All the black lines on the red concentric circles evolved from this black line.

The rest of the paintings seem to be different from this one, but they all use three colors of red, blue and black, some have only these three colors, and some have a fluorescent green circle and a fluorescent yellow circle.There is always a black line between the blue circle and the red circle. The blue circle is smaller than the red circle, but the meaning of each painting seems to be that although the blue circle is small, it can manipulate the black line and tightly bind the red circle. lock up.

These paintings are all made by a 12-year-old boy. What does Qin Xu want to express through these paintings?

Qin Xu was a key figure in the murder of the Qin family. Although he insisted that he had only been to the scene and took pictures of the family members who died tragically, there is still no evidence to prove that he was not at the scene when the crime happened.

Prior to this, Mingshu had dispatched some team members to Qin Xu's elementary school, junior high school, and high school to learn about the situation.According to Qin Xu’s teachers and some classmates, Qin Xu has been excellent since he was a child. This excellence is not only reflected in his grades, but also in all aspects of campus life-Qin Xu is cheerful and sunny, and he has always actively participated in class activities. , the class organized a learning mutual aid group, and Qin Xu also took the lead in responding.

Qin Xu's personality suddenly changed when he was about 12 years old. His grades dropped severely for a while, and then he rushed up again, from excellent to excellent, but his whole person became gloomy. If it is not necessary, he hardly interacts with others. , put on a very cold face to the teacher and classmates, as if the whole world owed him.Now Qin Xu is 17 years old, there is no friend around, everyone avoids him, classmates say he is a weirdo, teachers are also a little afraid of him, but his grades are still top-notch, so even the class teacher does not know if he should talk to him , what should be talked about.

"The red circle represents Qin Ke, and the blue circle represents Qin Xu himself. Qin Ke is strong, but Qin Xu is weak, and the other two fluorescent circles are their parents who stand by." Xiao Yuan put down the drawing, "The black line represents Some kind of abstract power, Qin Xu imagined that he was using this power to punish Qin Ke."

Lin Jiao nodded, turned on the display screen, and pulled out another armchair, "Xiao Ju, sit down."

Xiao Yuan saw that it was Qin Xu who appeared on the screen.

"He is very resistant, and my hypnosis on him didn't go well." Lin Jiao said, "But at least I can probe into some of his heart through just a few words."

Before the age of 12, Qin Xu and Qin Ke had a good relationship.In Qin Xu's heart, Qin Ke is the best sister in the world—beautiful, gentle, and kind. The only shortcoming is that her grades are mediocre.

Qin Xu would share any good things with Qin Ke.Qin Ke is the same.

But when Qin Xu was 12 years old, he found that his sister had gradually changed. She seldom spoke, and always ran to Internet cafes, irritable and irritable. Sometimes he felt that Qin Ke was looking at him, and when he turned around, he could meet Qin Ke's strange eyes. .

Both Huang Hui and Qin Xiong are very busy people and spend very little time at home. In order to save money, they did not hire a nanny at home.Most of the time, Qin Xu was alone with Qin Ke.

At this time, Qin Ke would do some "weird" things, such as showing foreign porn in front of Qin Xu.

A 12-year-old boy is not ignorant of men and women.But what shocked Qin Xu was that Qin Ke actually took off his underwear while watching the movie, and blasphemed himself while shouting from the speaker!

Qin Ke was only 16 years old at that time!

Qin Xu was greatly shocked and at a loss, but Qin Ke threatened him that if he told his parents, he would find all the films.

In the eyes of everyone, Qin Ke is a good girl.How could a good girl watch such a thing?

Qin Xu was also in the developmental stage at that time, and gradually changed from being shocked to being attracted. Every time Qin Ke watched, he stood outside the door and followed.

But compared to the people on the screen, it was his own sister who attracted him more.

Qin Ke has become more and more wanton, and movies can no longer satisfy her. Not long ago, she even bought a bunch of things online that Qin Xu couldn't even imagine.

Finally, Qin Ke waved to Qin Xu.

The 12-year-old Qin Xu just walked over and was molested by his own sister.

This is the first time, but not the last.Qin Xu realized that this was wrong, but Qin Ke forced him and threatened him, so he could not escape and was bewitched.And their parents didn't notice their weirdness at all.

For countless nights, Qin Xu wanted to kill Qin Ke and then himself.

Those ugly pictures were painted at that time.

But no matter how hard he struggles, when Qin Ke waves to him, he will still be attracted.

This relationship lasted until Qin Ke began to take care of "Cowherd".

Qin Xu thought he was free, but the influence of the past was indelible.He changed completely, hated Qin Ke, hated himself, and hated his parents who knew nothing.

In his cognition, everyone is ugly and dirty, just like Qin Ke.

He bought a camera with the money Qin Xiong gave him. His greatest hobby is to capture those ugly people.

"The shadow of puberty, especially the 'sexual' aspect, is likely to seriously deteriorate and affect a lifetime without timely psychological assistance." Lin Jiao said: "Especially in the case of Qin Xu, the harm is still He was given by his favorite sister, but he himself was too young to struggle, his parents didn't do anything, and no one around him could help him."

Sighing, Lin Jiao said again: "Qin Ke's behavior is clearly a child lover, which is a crime. The information sent to me by the serious crime team also mentioned that the men Qin Ke has been with in the past two years are all relatively young. But now that the person is dead, there will be no evidence to prove it if we continue to pursue it. This is what I learned from Qin Xu, and I don’t know if it will help you investigate the case.”

"Thanks for your hard work." Xiao Yu'an said, "The appearance of any clues has a certain effect on the investigation. Even if it is not the key to solving the case, it can at least help us uncover some mysteries and rule out some possibilities."

Lin Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I didn't work in vain."

Knowing the cause of Qin Xu's current personality, Mingshu was very angry, "It turned out to be Qin Ke!"

When sending Qin Xu to the Psychological Research Center, he originally had some judgments, but these judgments all pointed to Huang Hui and Qin Xiong. Yi Fei and others also believed that Qin Xu's weird and gloomy appearance was probably caused by his parents.

But it was Qin Ke who hurt Qin Xu, and in such a despicable and criminal way.

After calming down, Mingshu said: "In this way, Qin Xu's motives for committing the crime are more sufficient. When he was 12 years old, he killed Qin Ke countless times in the painting, and drew aside his parents who did not help him. Now that he's 17, the hatred for his family has deepened to the point where he must do something."

"The motive is sufficient, and there is circumstantial evidence, but Qin Xu himself refuses to plead guilty." Xiao Yu'an said, "Qin Xu is indeed the most suspected person, but..."

"But 5-8 still has a strange footprint. If you don't find out this person, you can't rush to convict Qin Xu." Mingshu is very clear-headed, "And according to Qin Xu's logic, assuming that he is the murderer, he killed Qin Xu. The three of them are equivalent to relief, and there is a high probability that he is not hiding, but showing off."

Xiao Yu'an said: "Yes, even if we don't have Qin Ying's line now, with that footprint, this case cannot be closed hastily."

For a few seconds, neither of them spoke, and each other's earpieces were filled with the sound of each other's breathing.

After a while, Mingshu said: "The series of tragedies of the Qin family can be traced to Qin Ying. The sudden change in Qin Xu's character is due to being hurt by Qin Ke. What about Qin Ke? From Qin Xu's perception , Qin Ke used to be a gentle and kind girl. Qin Ke discovered Qin Ying's photo when she was a teenager, and later learned from her aunt Huang Qing that Qin Ying disappeared before she was born. At the age of 16, it was she who began to investigate When this happened. She posted on the Internet when she was 17 years old, but she suspected that her parents killed Qin Ying must have been before that, that is, when she was 16 years old."

Xiao Yuan said: "Parents are murderers, and this huge shadow falls on Qin Ke. Many crimes involving juveniles are rooted in the family. The psychological burden is difficult to resolve. Some people choose extroverted violence, while others choose introverted ego Degenerate. What Qin can choose is to indulge in sex and use it to hurt his own brother."

"I suddenly had an idea." Mingshu said: "Qin Ke's behavior, is she imitating her parents? She thinks that her parents killed Qin Ying, so she also hurt herself in another way." brother?"

Xiao Yuan said: "Yes or no, it doesn't matter now. We will never know what Qin Ke thinks in his heart."

Mingshu sighed, "That's true."

Xiao Yu'an glanced at the time, "What about you? Is there anything new?"

"Everyone in Haijing Temple is not simple. The identity of Yin Xiaofeng, who has been silent all this time, has been found out." Ming Shu said, "Before he became a monk in Haijing Temple, he was treated in a mental hospital in Liangxi City."

Liangxi City is far away from Dongye City, and it is a small city in the southern border province.

"Yin Xiaofeng has a mental problem?" Xiao Yu'an said, "Then why did he come to Dongye City later?"

Mingshu said: "I have asked Xu Chun to rush to Liangxi City. Yin Xiaofeng's past experience should be found out soon. But the leader, this investigation made me feel a little bit annoyed."

As soon as Xiao Yu'an heard Mingshu call "Leader", he knew that this guy had something to report to him, so he said softly, "What's making you anxious?"

"Grass-roots police stations are limited by factors such as personnel and equipment. Occasionally, wrongful cases and important cases cannot be solved and reported in time. I understand this. But Shouquan Town is too much, and past cases are suspicious, which prevents them from being investigated. Not to mention, I went to investigate the current case, and they didn't cooperate." Mingshu said: "27 years ago, the case of Tang Yuan's wife Zhou Tingting drowned in Yantang was full of doubts. Yantang was not in Zhou Tingting's normal life range at all, and It is very remote, why did she go there? Moreover, the family of the deceased raised many questions, but the police ignored them all, and defined the cause of death as slipping and falling into the water on the grounds that there was only Zhou Tingting's footprints by the pond."

27 years ago, Shouquan Town was not under the management of Dongye City. In addition, the criminal investigation methods were backward at that time, and the forensic trace inspection system was not complete. The possibility of wrong judgment or even deliberate fraud was high.

"Zhou Tingting's younger sister, Zhou Qingqing, said that Zhou Tingting was killed by Tang Yuan and Liu Sui, because there was a so-called 'adultery' between Liu Sui and Tang Yuan." Before coming to Haijing Temple, he found out the backgrounds of his brothers. What he found out was that Liu Sui and Tang Yuan had an improper relationship when they were teaching at the Second Primary School in Shouquan Town. Liu Sui was older than Tang Yuan and unmarried. Yuan is married. Not to mention the social atmosphere at that time, even now, it is difficult for them to be accepted. The Haijing Temple on Qiyue Mountain is a place where you can escape from reality."

Xiao Yu'an said, "It's been too long. Whether it's the police in charge of the case in Shouquan Town or the family of the deceased, they are all one-sided. Everyone can give their own logic. The key is, Ming team, do you have any evidence?"

"There is no way to find the key evidence now, but according to Liu Sui and Tang Yuan's former colleagues, they are indeed a pair of lovers, which are not tolerated by their respective families." After breaking off the relationship, his parents died later, and he did not come down to visit him. As for Tang Yuan, in his relationship with Liu Sui, Tang Yuan is more like the weaker party, and he is dependent on Liu Sui in everything."

Xiao Yu'an said, "In your opinion, is it possible for them to kill Qiu Min?"

Mingshu was silent for a while, "It's hard to say. A murderer who has not been punished by law, and a murderer who has been sanctioned and then regained his freedom, the probability of committing crimes in the future is much higher than ordinary people. If 27 years ago, Liu Sui You and Tang Yuan partnered to kill Zhou Tingting, so the possibility of their committing the crime this time is indeed not low. And don’t you and Mr. Xing both think that two people killed Qiu Min and the dismembered body? Liu Sui and Tang Yuan happened to be Two people. But 'Zhou Tingting was killed by Liu and Tang' is still just my inference."

After finishing speaking, Mingshu heard other people's voices coming from the phone, so he asked, "Ju Xiao?"

"Go ahead and check." Xiao Yu'an said: "A team member calls me, please contact me at any time."

Just shortly after Mingshu hung up the phone, Fang Yuanhang rushed over with a sallow and thin woman.

"Master, this is Qian Da's ex-wife Tan Mei! She has something to tell you!"

Mingshu looked at the woman in front of him, and guessed her purpose from her angry eyes.

"You came from the city to investigate Qianda? Are you the person in charge? Are your words effective?" Dan Mei opened his mouth like a cannonball, and his protruding cheekbones rose and fell one after another.

Ming Shu said: "I'm not looking into Qianda, I'm looking into the case of Zhou Tingting who slipped and fell into the water 27 years ago."

Dan Mei said sharply: "It's the same! What I want to report to you is also the fact that Zhou Tingting was killed!"

"Killed to death?" Mingshu's tone was calm, trying to calm Tanmei down, "Do you have any evidence?"

"Of course I have!" Danmei slapped an iron box on the table with a "slap", "The things inside are evidence!"

Mingshu opened the tin box, and saw a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of gold earrings, and a gold pendant inside.

Gold is the best store of value, and many elderly families have similar gold jewelry.

Mingshu couldn't help thinking of his sister Xiao Jinlan.

Xiao Jinlan is only two years older than Xiao Yuan, but he has been fascinated by gold jewelry for several years.

One year during the Spring Festival, Mingshu and Xiao Yuan went back to Xiao's house for the New Year. Xiao Jinlan gave him a beautifully crafted gold plaque.

At that time, he still didn't appreciate gold, and thought it was rustic and old-fashioned. "Sister, you might as well give me a pair of shoes."

"You kid, you know I want shoes." Xiao Jinlan said with a smile: "You don't have enough shoes in your cabinet? This brand is for safety. You and Yu'an, Jincheng, and Muting have it. Take it back carefully. Let it go, don't give up."

The sign has been kept at home, together with Xiao Yuan's.

"Is this evidence?" Mingshu asked Danmei.

"All these jewelry were given to me by Liu Changjun!" Tan Mei said, "Do you know who Liu Changjun is?"

Mingshu said: "I know."

Liu Changjun, Liu Sui's father, passed away a few years ago.

In terms of family background, there is a big difference between Liu Sui and Tang Yuan.The Liu family is considered a relatively wealthy family in Shouquan Town, and Liu Sui's job in the town's No. [-] Primary School was also found by the family.Tang Yuan worked hard from the countryside by himself, and with a certain job, he was introduced to marry Zhou Tingting, a music teacher at the same school.

"It was Liu Sui who killed Zhou Tingting! No one in the second elementary school in the town knows the mess between Liu Sui and Tang Yuan!" Danmei said excitedly: "It was Liu Sui who led Zhou Tingting to the bank of Yantang, and lied to her that he would solve the three people." But Tang Yuan is not there at all. There is no one else by the Yantang, so Liu Sui just pushed Zhou Tingting down!"

Mingshu asked: "You know so well? Is it because your ex-husband Chanda is in charge of this case?"

Dan Mei nodded, "I'm guilty too, I took bribes from Liu Changjun. I'm here to confess to you now, it's okay for you to sentence me, and Qian Da, a scourge, must be arrested!"

"Let me ask a digression." Mingshu said, "It's been so long since this case, why did you report Qian Da at this time?"

"I..." Danmei looked awkward, and paused for a few seconds before saying: "When he was a policeman, he couldn't go home all day long, and he didn't have much money. I never disliked him, took care of him, took care of my son, and even took care of him." But what about him? He stopped being a police officer, and went into business and opened a teahouse. Now it’s all right, the teahouse has made so much money, so he went to find Xiaosan and Xiaosi and divorced me! I can’t swallow this Tone! If he won't let me have a good time, then everyone will go to prison for dinner!"

Facing the gold jewelry that his ex-wife sent to the criminal police of the city bureau, Qian Da, who was quite arrogant when they met last time, was stunned, "This... this..."

"It seems that you are very familiar with them." Mingshu said.

Danmei's words and jewelry do not directly mean that Qian Da took money from the Liu family to help Liu Sui get rid of the crime.To prove that these jewelry were indeed sent by Liu Changjun, and that Danmei was not lying, there must be a complicated process.As far as Dan Mei's hatred for Qian Da is concerned, she may frame Qian Da.

But Qianda's abnormal reaction at this time can already explain the problem.

"27 years ago, it was Liu Sui who pushed Zhou Tingting into the water by the Yantang, right?" Mingshu said sharply, "During your on-site investigation, you didn't find only Zhou Tingting's footprints, did you?"

Chanda trembled and spoke incoherently.

Criminal Investigation Bureau, Crime Squad.

Xiao Yuan interrupted the call with Mingshu because a team member rushed over and said that Tang Yuan wanted to see the head of the serious crime team.

Tang Yuan is not yet 50 years old this year, but he looks like he is 70 or [-] years old.Although it is said that life in the mountains is hard, no matter how hard it is, it is not so hard.

He is ashamed.

"You are the person in charge of the serious crime team?" Tang Yuan stared blankly at Xiao Yu'an, his voice trembling a little.

"I am." Xiao Yuan said, "What do you want to tell me?"

"I'm sorry for Tingting. I've kept this matter secret for almost 30 years, and I haven't had a happy day." Tang Yuan lowered his eyelids and said, "I worshiped and practiced Buddhism in Haijing Temple. The truth about my wife. I'm tired and I don't want to hide it anymore."

What Tang Yuan said was almost the same as Ming Shu's inference and what he learned from Dan Mei and Qian Da.

More than 30 years ago, Tang Yuan first met Zhou Tingting, but after marriage, he found that he didn't like women.The appearance of Liu Sui, a Chinese teacher at the same school, made Tang Yuan finally appreciate the passion of life.

The relationship between the two was very secretive at first, and no one knew about it, but the fire could not be contained, and Zhou Tingting gradually discovered the abnormality.

Tang Yuan is a weak and traditional person at heart, he already felt guilty for cheating in marriage, under Zhou Tingting's crying, he finally decided to break up with Liu Sui.

However, Liu Sui said that he had already resigned, severed ties with his family, cut off all escape routes, and only wanted to be with him.

Tang Yuan was caught in a dilemma.Liu Sui reassured him, saying that he could solve it.

Soon, Tang Yuan learned that Liu Sui had become a monk as a monk.

He thought that Liu Sui had given up on this relationship, so he tried to let it go and run a small family together with Zhou Tingting.

But two months later, Zhou Tingting died in the Yantang.

The police said that Zhou Tingting fell into the water by mistake, but he knew better than anyone that it was Liu Sui who killed Zhou Tingting.

After taking care of Zhou Tingting's funeral, Tang Yuan also became a monk and spent day and night with Liu Sui in Haijing Temple.

But before the Buddha, they have all become demons.

"I'm sorry for Liu Sui, but it's also him, so I'm sorry first." In the end, Tang Yuan said to Xiao Yu'an like this.

Knowing that Tang Yuan confessed himself, Liu Sui was not surprised at all, and said with a wry smile: "It's not just him who is tired, I am also tired. What's the use of practicing Buddhism? A murderer is still a murderer even if he has practiced Buddhism all his life." Zhou Tingting was pushed off the Yantang by me, it has nothing to do with Tang Yuan, at most he just didn’t report what he knew, so don’t embarrass him.”

After a moment of silence, Liu Sui suddenly raised his head, his eyes were very clear, "But this is the only case related to the two of us. The case on Qiyue Mountain has nothing to do with us, and the disappearance of Master Xiaochen has nothing to do with us."

Liang Xi City.

Xu Chun left from the mental hospital where Yin Xiaofeng was treated, and immediately called Mingshu.

Jiulin Psychological Clinic.

The mobile phone on the table buzzed and vibrated for a long time, but was not picked up.

The passing assistant reminded softly, "Teacher Luo?"

Luo Yi just came back to his senses, looked away from the yellowing ginkgo leaves outside the window, smiled at his assistant, and picked up his phone.
