Madness of the Heart

Chapter 153 Fighting insects (03)

Los Angeles City Bureau, Criminal Investigation Detachment.

“Master Jun, formerly known as Liu Shunjun, has been domineering in Ningzhi City for many years. He is relatively’smart’. He never touches drugs or guns, but he does other things for evil.” Hua Chong put a piece of information on the table. A month ago, the special police detachment was in Ningzhi City to’sweep the black’. Liu Shunjun and his men were wiped out by a single net. Now they are all locked in the detention center. Is Liu Shunjun related to your recent investigation?”

Ming Shu scanned the information quickly, and shook his head a moment later, “I’m not sure.”

Huying once said that he was stopped by He Yang’s secretary on the road and drove to He Yang’s private estate. He Yang knew well about his urgent need for life-saving money and had played secret room games. He had long known that he had no other choice and would definitely agree to participate in the game in order to save Hu Yao.

Then Sheng Zhi, another participant of the game, his background must be mastered by He Yang.

Is it possible that Gu Zhenghan owes money a trap designed by He Yang? Is Liu Shunjun a subordinate of He Yang? They dug a trap, waiting for Sheng Zhi to jump down?

On the way from Ningzhi City to the Los Angeles City Bureau, Ming Shu has been thinking about these issues.

But now it seems that Liu Shunjun’s loan to Gu Zhenghan may have nothing to do with He Yang. Liu Shunjun is the most common type of rogue in small cities, and perhaps he is not qualified to be He Yang’s minion.

When Gu Zhenghan found this line, it seemed to be broken.

“Encountered a difficult case?” Hua Chong asked.

The police circles of Dongye City and the Los Angeles police circles have cooperated frequently. Mingshu and Hua Chong are not shallow, but there is discipline in everything. The shady behind Hu Ying, Sheng Zhi, and He Yang cannot yet be fully explained to the Los Angeles police.

Ming Shu took a long breath, remembering what he had discussed with Yi Fei after completing the interrogation of Chi Yan.

Chi Yan’s psychology is extremely distorted and his criminal motives are incredible, but it is difficult for a normal person to think of his line at the beginning of the crime. And interrogating him is also a chore. Even a criminal policeman like Yi Fei, who is not without rich experience, took a long time after leaving the interrogation room.

And Hua Chong is especially good at dealing with this kind of person, and can even be immersed in the mood of this kind of person.

Ming Shu said: “By the way, Team Hua, I want to ask you something.”

Hua Chong laughed, “If you have anything to say, don’t be polite to me.”

“You are very good at bringing yourself into the mood of the suspect. When a murder case occurs, you think of yourself as a murderer. This is very helpful for investigating a case, because a criminal policeman, the more he can think from the perspective of the murderer, The sooner the case can be solved, sometimes even before the next tragedy occurs.” Ming Shu’s conversation turned: “However, many criminal police officers will have serious psychological problems because of this, or they will be stuck in it and will not be able to get out, or Persuaded by the murderer’s emotions, he finally embarked on the path of crime.”

Hua Chong said, “Do you think I can’t get out, or am I being assimilated by criminals?”

Ming Shu smiled and said, “Isn’t it because you are totally unaffected that I asked you for advice?”

Hua Chong got up from his seat and walked a few steps at the desk, “The word’complete’ is not accurate, I think, maybe no one can be completely unaffected after being immersed in the mood of the murderer.”

Ming Shu nodded, “But what you show is not affected.”

“Am I adjusting faster?” Hua Chong leaned against the table, holding his hands on his chest.

He is older than Mingshu and he is more mature in his actions, but perhaps because he has participated in the anti-terrorism at the border, he has always had a kind of awe-inspiring and fearless heroic aura, which makes him seem to have the calmness that time has given him, but also There is no such thing as old age attached to it.

He is a wonderful character.

Ming Shu stared at Hua Chong’s profile for a while, “How to adjust?”

“Um…” Hua Chong thought about it seriously, as if thinking of someone, his eyes suddenly became gentle, “I also had a difficult time to adjust. A few years ago, I was still in the crime team at that time. Long, my boss takes good care of me, and my teammates are not bad, but there are very few people who can keep up with my thinking.”

After a pause, Hua Chong changed his words, “No one can follow my thoughts.”

Ming Shu blinked.

“I was transferred from the Special Police Detachment to the Interpol Detachment, you know.” Hua Chong said, “In fact, at the earliest, I was not used to bringing myself into criminals. But the surroundings can not give me much help, I think To speed up the efficiency of solving crimes, you can only seek change. Bringing yourself into the murderer is the most effective method I can think of.”

Ming Shu was a little surprised.

“It was actually very painful at the time. I was a normal person. I forced myself into that distorted psychology and forced myself to digest and understand. The case was solved, but I couldn’t get out. I felt that I was just myself. A pervert.” Hua Chong drank a sip of tea and continued: “But I am the captain of the serious crime team, and my team members are all looking at me. I absolutely can’t show it.”

Ming Shu said: “Are you carrying it?”

“There is no other way but to resist.” Hua Chong smiled, “Over time, I seem to get used to it. Other than insomnia and nightmares after solving a case, there is no worse reaction. But the nightmare is really annoying. In my dream, I either witnessed someone being killed and I was powerless, or I committed suicide.”

Ming Shu asked: “Then now…”

Hua Chong’s eyes were soft, reflecting the light coming through the window, “Not anymore.”

“Ok?”

“Because someone helped me share the burden.”

Ming Shu wanted to ask more, and the door of the captain’s office was pushed open.

Ming Shu and Hua Chong looked over at the same time.

Being able to enter the captain’s office without knocking may be a “benefits” that only Liu Zhiqin has. The door was already open, and Liu Zhiqin knocked on the door pretendingly, “It turns out that Xiao Ming is here.”

Ming Shu didn’t know why his unforced name came to Los Angeles, and his eyelids jumped when he heard that, “Ms. Liu, come to the Hua team again?”

“What is’again’?” Liu Zhiqin seemed to have just returned from the outside, with a chill in his long coat. “I and Hua Team are colleagues. I just came to him to report on work.”

Ming Shu Yuguang caught a glimpse of Hua Chong’s lips with an indulgent smile.

Yes, it is connivance.

Mingshu was quite sure that Hua Chong had always been indulging in Liu Zhiqin.

“Then I will leave first.” Ming Shu said, “I went to see Liu Shunjun in the detention center.”

Hua Chong asked, “You can’t go back to Dongye tonight, right?”

Ming Shu wanted to rush back, but it was too late, “I have to rest in Los Angeles for one night.”

Hua Chong said: “It’s rare to come, have a meal tonight?”

Ming Shu suddenly remembered that he owed Liu Zhiqin a meal of wine, so he responded quickly and gave it tonight to save Liu Zhiqin’s test scores.

“I’m not familiar with Los Angeles, you can choose a place, I will invite you.”

“No.” Liu Zhiqin said with a smile: “Today is not the time.”

Ming Shu feels that he and Liu will never be able to go together, “The Hua team has said that we will have dinner together tonight, why is it not time? When do you want it? Do I have to send you an invitation?”

“What you promised back then was to drink.” Liu Zhiqin was justified, “but now is the busiest time at the end of the year, do you Dongye City Crime Squad’s criminals dare to drink alcohol after a casual meal?”

Ming Shu was right when he thought about it. He and Xiao Yuan hadn’t had a drink at home for a long time.

Hua Chong said to Liu Zhiqin, “Brother Xiaoliu, don’t embarrass the Ming team. Drink and drink as soon as you see the Ming team. You drink well?”

After that, he said to Ming Shu: “In fact, it’s just a casual meal. You are a guest, and of course I invite it.”

“That won’t work!” Ming Shu said quickly.

“That’s it.” Hua Chong said: “I will arrange someone to accompany you to the detention center. You will come back to find me at night. Brother Xiaoliu and I will be on duty, and we will be there any night.”

It was getting late, Ming Shu and Fang Yuanhang immediately set off to the detention center and met Liu Shunjun.

This man was in his forties, with a fierce look, and he didn’t even look at the police at all. He had done all the evil things, and he had completely looked away from him.

“Do you remember Gu Zhenghan?” Ming Shu asked.

Liu Shunjun’s broken eyebrows were raised high, “Who?”

Ming Shu said: “Zeng Yong, you used to lend usury to him.”

“Tsk, that little white face.” Liu Shunjun wiped his face, “I remember.”

Ming Shu deliberately said in a sure tone: “Someone has ordered you to lend money to him.”

“Instigate?” Liu Shunjun immediately became excited. “Ningzhi City is Lao Tzu’s territory. Who dares to instruct Lao Tzu?”

Ming Shu said: “Boss Liu has done such a big’business’, and all Ningzhi City is your network. How can you remember a little white face so clearly?”

Liu Shunjun grinned with yellow teeth, “Two million or more, he almost didn’t pay it back. I remember the money-related matters most clearly.”

Ming Shu said: “He really took the initiative to find you to borrow money?”

“You don’t believe it?” Liu Shunjun said: “Then I have to ask you, who the **** told Lao Tzu to be instructed to lend money? Lao Tzu has been in Ningzhi City for half a lifetime, but his mother has never been instigated!”

Ming Shu reported the name of Secretary He Yang, “Zhou Shan.”

Liu Shunjun said impatiently: “Who?”

Ming Shu sighed in his heart. When he got the information of Liu Shunjun from Hua Chong, he roughly believed that this person had nothing to do with He Yang. Now that he had face-to-face contact and asked a few questions, he was able to determine that Liu Shunjun was not a trap that He Yang had arranged for Sheng Zhi.

It was around 11 o’clock in the evening when I returned to the Los Angeles City Bureau. Hua Chong’s “light meal” turned out to be a hot pot opposite the city bureau. A large group of people from the Criminal Investigation Detachment ate the “flowing water table” there. Order food and continue to eat.

On a cold day, the hot white air and fragrance are more attractive than anything else.

Fang Yuanhang had been running around for a day, and he sat down and moved his chopsticks, not at all polite.

Ming Shu pushed his apprentice with a smile, “You are quite familiar.”

Fang Yuanhang took away somebody’s hot beef, “It’s all my own, why am I polite.”

Liu Zhiqin said: “Xiao Fang understands people.”

Hua Chong poured hot soy milk into the empty cup, and when he handed it to Ming Shu, he said, “Just boiling, Xiao Ming, be careful.”

Ming Shu was almost choked, “Team Hua, why are you Xiaoming Xiaoming?”

Hua Chong smiled: “What’s wrong, there is nothing wrong with this title.”

“You call my apprentice Xiaofang, call me Xiaoming?” Ming Shu said, “Xiao Fang Xiaoming, I’m in the same generation as this guy?”

Fang Yuanhang was too choked, “Master, you are high in seniority, you are high in seniority, I won’t compete with you!”

“You dignified captain of the serious crime team, do you even care about this?” Liu Zhiqin said, “Xiao Ming, it shouldn’t be.”

Ming Shu never loses in his lip service, but when he was in the special operations team, Liu Zhiqin was a teacher, and he was a student.

“Teacher Liu, for the face of the Hua team, I don’t have the same knowledge as you.” Ming Shu picked up his soy milk and gave Liu Zhiqin a blank look. “You also rely on the Hua team to pet you.”

As soon as he said this, the table suddenly became quiet.

Until Fang Yuanhang swallowed a whole hot coriander ball.

“I’m burning to death, I’m burning to death! Master, you are about to lose your lovely apprentice!”

Ming Shu tossed Fang Yuanhang a bottle of unopened mineral water, “Remove the word ‘cute’ to me.”

The hot pot restaurant does not close, and in the middle of the night, there are still police officers who have finished patrolling to fill their stomachs.

After coming out of the hot pot restaurant, Hua Chong and Liu Zhiqin returned to the Municipal Bureau. Ming Shu went to a hotel near the Municipal Bureau. Before leaving, Ming Shu said, “I have a hunch.”

Liu Zhiqin asked: “What kind of premonition?”

Ming Shu let out a white mist and shrugged, “Maybe it won’t be long before we have to cooperate.”

Hua Chong said: “Although I don’t want a case that requires our cooperation to resolve. But if it does happen, the Los Angeles police will go all out.”

The next day, Ming Shu and Fang Yuanhang returned to Dongye City.

In Dongye City, like Los Angeles, leaders have to take the lead around the Spring Festival. Ming Shu did not go to the bureau immediately, planning to go home to pack a few clothes, but as soon as the door opened, he heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Xiao Yuan was at home.

“Brother.” Ming Shu knocked on the bathroom door, “have you been all night?”

He knows Xiao Yuan’s work and rest too well, and usually only takes a shower at this time when he stays up late.

“Yeah.” Xiao Yuan’s voice came with the sound of water, “Have you eaten yet?”

Mingshu doesn’t like breakfast outside, and he left from the hotel before dawn today, catching the earliest ordinary high-speed rail.

“No, how about you?” Ming Shu asked.

“Order a takeaway for two.” Xiao Yuan said, “I didn’t eat either.”

Ming Shu nodded, and leaned against the wall outside the bathroom while ordering takeaways and said, “What did you do last night?”

“There is a joint operation between the second team and the Beicheng branch. I went to the scene.” Xiao Yuan said: “What are your gains over there?”

Ming Shu finished his order, briefly explained the situation found in Los Angeles, and sighed: “If Sheng Zhi knew that Gu Zhenghan had been married in less than a year and would soon become a father, would he regret it? , Will you feel worthless for your decision.”

The door of the bathroom opened, and Xiao Yuan came out with warmth, “I feel that when he learned the content of the game, he already regretted it.”

The living room did not turn on the air conditioner, and it was chilly, Xiao Yuan only wore a bathrobe with water drops on his neck.

Ming Shu stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly opened his arms and hugged Xiao Yuan, “Why don’t you turn on the air conditioner when you come back? Is it cold? Your boyfriend will warm you up.”

Xiao Yuan smiled, “I just came back and forgot.”

Ming Shu hugged his hands and tightened his arms, “Do you feel the warmth of your boyfriend?”

Xiao Yuan patted his waist, “Is this compensation?”

Ming Shu didn’t react for a while, “What compensation?”

Xiao Yuan said: “I was not compensated for warming my bed yesterday.”

“Oh, I understand.” Ming Shu said “tsk”, “I said why you stayed up all night and only come back now. It turns out that I am not at home and you are afraid to come back and keep the empty room alone.”

Xiao Yuan followed: “Why are you so smart?”

Mingshu was too busy yesterday. The exhaustion on the road alone made people overwhelmed. He barely fell asleep for a few hours at night, and now he was lying on Xiao Yuan for a while, and finally he was energetic again. He let him go and said, “I will drive. Air conditioner, I will blow your hair in a while.”

There were too few takeaways to take orders in the morning. When the breakfast and lunch were delivered, Ming Shu had already rushed into the bathroom to take a shower because he couldn’t wait.

Xiao Yuan looked at the two pockets of fish porridge and soup dumplings, poured the two porridge into a large porcelain bowl, heated them in the microwave, and fry two eggs before Ming Shu was ready to wash them.

Ming Shu changed into pajamas, “Is there any extra meals?”

Xiao Yuan said, “I’m afraid you won’t have enough to eat.”

There was not much food, so the two settled in the kitchen. Mingshu asked while drinking the porridge: “You won’t be in the bureau for now, will you?”

“Well, take a rest and go in the afternoon.” Xiao Yuan said, “Otherwise, I won’t be back.”

Ming Shu said: “Then you will clean up the kitchen later.”

They lived together. Although they did not have a clear division of housework, Mingshu was “cumbling” and could not cook, so Mingshu usually took care of washing dishes after meals.

However, Ming Shu would sometimes shamelessly, and also throw the work of washing the dishes and cleaning the table to Xiao Yuan.

It’s all trivial matters, Xiao Yuan doesn’t care about him, “Okay.”

Ming Shu leaned over and put one hand around Xiao Yu’an’s neck, “Brother, are you spoiling me too much?”

Xiao Yuan said: “Too much?”

Ming Shu shook his head quickly, “Who would have too many?”

Xiao Yuan lowered his head and touched Mingshu’s forehead.

The two had a rare opportunity to stick together in the morning, and it was inevitable that they would get tired of it.

Ming Shu finished his share, rinsed his mouth and washed his face, “Brother, the kitchen is up to you.”

They are all take-out boxes, but there is nothing to clean up. All that needs to be washed is the large porcelain bowl for porridge and two pairs of chopsticks.

Xiao Yuan went out to throw rubbish, wiped the stains on the table, and when he walked to the bedroom, he saw the quilt arching up a hill.

“Brother, I’ll give you a warm bed.” Ming Shu wrapped the quilt tightly, only his eyes were exposed, his voice was stuffed in the quilt, and it sounded very buzzing.

Xiao Yuan walked in, “Is that why you asked me to clean up the kitchen?”

“Yes.” Ming Shu half propped up, “It’s already hot, do you come in and feel it?”

Xiao Yuan kissed the tip of his nose, “This is too sweet.”

“Who told me to spoil you?” Ming Shu moved aside, and when Xiao Yuan lay down where he had just slept, he quickly tightened the quilt, then leaned over to kiss Xiao Yuan, from forehead to lips, and finally sat up.” Do you feel pampered by your boyfriend?”

Xiao Yuan touched his chin, his voice was deep, “I feel it.”

Ming Shu raised his eyebrows and sat on the edge of the bed wearing slippers, “Then you have a good night’s sleep, I will go to the bureau first.”

As soon as the voice fell, a malicious hand was wrapped around his waist. Ming Shu fell back and smiled “Ouch”.

When I arrived at the Criminal Investigation Bureau, I was already more than an hour behind the planned time.
