Madness of the Heart

Chapter 154 Fighting insects (04)

Huying lay half-dead in the hospital, and the popularity of the news did not decrease as the Spring Festival approached.

When Ming Shu rushed to the hospital, fans and reporters from all walks of life were still fighting guerrillas with special police officers, waiting for the opportunity to rush into the ward.

A few days ago, Hu Ying learned that Hu Yao had passed away, and her emotions were surprisingly calm. After a while, she cried silently. From then on, Hu Ying didn’t speak much anymore, and didn’t respond to doctors and police’s questions. The whole figure looked like an empty shell, waiting hopelessly for death.

Ming Shu stood by the bed, looking down at the shadow of the lake.

Hu Ying’s eyes were open, but the light in those eyes didn’t move.

Ming Shu moved a chair and said, “I know you are awake now.”

Huying did not respond.

Ming Shu said: “Only a sober person will suffer, and they will do their best to seal themselves up.”

Lake Shadow’s eyelashes moved slightly, and the corners of her lips trembled lightly.

“The expert’s appraisal result has come out. You have a serious mental problem. What you said in the interrogation room that day is probably your delusion.” Ming Shu sighed, “Don’t count.”

Hu Ying blinked, and the dead light finally moved under his eyes.

Ming Shu asked: “What are you thinking about now?”

Hu Ying did not answer, and slowly closed her eyes.

“Miss Hu Yao? Hate your parents for not saving Hu Yao? Hate yourself for failing to protect Hu Yao to the end?” Ming Shu paused, and then said: “Still thinking, life is like a dream, composed of one mistake after another. It would be great if it didn’t enter the entertainment circle because of Hu Yao.”

Huying’s hands were placed outside the quilt.

Ming Shu clearly saw that his fingertips had a movement of closing and then letting go.

Hu Ying was struggling.

Ming Shu turned his gaze back to Hu Ying’s face, “Anyway, there is no cure for Hu Yao’s disease. Even the doctor said that Hu Yao may not live to be 10 years old. No matter how hard you work and make more money, you can’t last Keep Hu Yao. She is destined to leave you.”

Hu Ying shook her head, the end of her eyes was already wet.

Ming Shu continued: “You think, humans are really the stupidest animals, for the sake of others, to take one’s life in. Sheng Zhi is like this, so are you, if it is not for others, you may still not be mixed up now, but at least There will be no bad luck.”

A line of tears flowed from the corners of the wet eyes, Hu Ying pressed her lips tightly, and the ups and downs of her chest became rapid.

Ming Shu glanced at the medical equipment beside the bed, “Hu Ying, you regret it.”

Tears-filled eyes finally opened, Hu Ying shook his head, her voice hoarse and trembling, “I have no regrets, I have never regretted saving Hu Yao!”

Ming Shu said: “You are finally willing to speak.”

Hu Ying was startled.

“In order to exchange a few words with you, I have to use some means.” Ming Shu said: “Although the experts have already reached a conclusion, our preliminary investigation of He Yang has not been able to find out anything, but if you are telling the truth, I will find evidence to bring He Yang and the group behind He Yang to justice.”

Hu Ying smiled bitterly, “Experts have said that I am a lunatic.”

With that, Hu Ying patted her chest first, then tapped her temple, “There are problems here and here. Anything I say is nonsense. If you can’t be true, why should you be so serious? ”

Ming Shu said solemnly: “Why do demons run rampant in the world? Why do innocent people die? Noble because demons are born? Because ordinary people are just worms that can easily be trampled to death in front of them?”

Hu Ying opened her eyes wide, her pupils pressed tightly, tears gushing out again.

“Are you willing?” Ming Shu said, “I understand that your heart is ashamed now, and you can’t fight or fight, but are you willing?”

Hu Ying shook her head and said in a trembled voice: “Stop talking, you don’t understand…”

“Don’t understand what?” Ming Shu said, “Don’t understand the sorrow of insects? Or don’t understand the cruelty of this world?”

Hu Ying covered her pale face, her thin body seemed to collapse soon.

“Yes, I really can’t empathize with your pain. In the final analysis, we are different individuals, our growth environment is different, the current situation is different, and the future is different.” Ming Shu said: “I didn’t come here to empathize with you. , I don’t understand your despair, but I understand the responsibility of the criminal police.”

Hu Ying raised her head in surprise, “Interpol’s…responsibility.”

“Those cold data prove that you have a mental problem, and everything you say cannot be evidence.” Ming Shu said, “But are you really just delusional?”

Huying said: “I…”

“When you were interrogated, you had different reactions before and after. What you said later directly overturned what you said earlier. I can understand that you are afraid of Hu Yao being hurt by those people.” Ming Shu’s tone sank, “But now, Hu Yao has gone. Your only concern no longer exists!”

Hu Ying squeezed the quilt, “What do you want me to say?”

Ming Shu said: “I want you to look into my eyes and tell me that everything you say is not a delusion, not a lie, but the personal experience of you and Sheng Zhi!”

After a while, Hu Ying suddenly laughed miserably, “What is the use of telling you? You also said that a madman’s words are not enough to be evidence.”

Ming Shu said loudly, “But I must be sure that you did not lie!”

Hu Ying froze, “Yes, what then? Can you catch He Yang?”

Ming Shu said: “Then do everything possible to fulfill the duty of the criminal police.”

“You…” Huying said, “Are you really willing to help me?”

“You didn’t hear what I said? Then I’ll say it again.” Ming Shu said: “Why do demons run rampant in the world?”

The ward was filled with mute sobbing. For a long time, Hu Ying wiped away her tears, looked at Ming Shu, and said with all her strength: “I didn’t lie, I didn’t have delusions, I swear, He Yang forced me to kill Sheng Zhi! ”

·

The Spring Festival holiday is here, and there is no one on the city bureau and its branches. Recently, there are no vicious cases that must be solved immediately, and the crime squad has been placed on the duty list.

On the New Year’s Eve, all police officers are ready.

The M.E.S shopping mall in Beicheng District gathered countless citizens waiting to hear the bells and watch the fireworks. Special police officers holding shields and batons are maintaining order.

There are three patrol cars parked in the northeast corner of the mall-there are no fewer than 20 patrol cars like this near the M.E.S mall.

Ming Shu carried two pockets of milk tea and ran into the car quickly, “I took it by myself. There were too many people. I was in line for half an hour. I was frozen to death.”

There were only three players in the car, Yi Fei, Xing Mu, and Zhou Yuan.

New Year’s Eve is the most important day, and even Xing Mu and Zhouyuan technical team members have been pulled out. But they really want to be open, especially Xiao Man.

This big brother was patrolling with Fang Yuanhang outside at this time, saying that it was just the Spring Festival to work overtime, and he didn’t have to go back to face the marriage urging of his family.

“When you first came back in the summer, what you were investigating was the case that happened in the MES mall.” Yi Fei held the milk tea and looked at the crowded crowd outside through the windowpane. “If you weren’t right here, the murderer would kill him. How many children died.”

Ming Shu smiled: “Tsk, don’t call me a hero.”

Xing Mu sat at the back, grabbed the richest glass, and drank his head and said, “Who doesn’t know if you are shopping for clothes?”

“Puff——” The milk tea that had just been sucked into his mouth was choked out, Zhou Yuan repeatedly apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Didn’t it spray you?”

Ming Shu picked up a pack of drawn paper and threw it to him, “It’s okay, wipe it yourself.”

After speaking, he looked back and said, “Teacher Xing, Brother Xing, do we have to talk about it? Why do you always love to fight against me?”

Old Xing Mu blushed, and even more daunted, “You are the leader, how dare I go against the leader?”

“Then you complain about me?” Ming Shu smiled and said, “You still grab my milk tea?”

Xing Mu looked at his milk tea, “This is yours? Then I will pay you back.”

Ming Shu waved his hand, “I dislike it.”

Xing Mu shrank inside again.

Yi Fei smiled, “Xiao Ming, you always bully Teacher Xing, no wonder he is afraid of you.”

“I’m wrong.” Ming Shu made a gesture of surrender, “I’ve never bullied Teacher Xing. But you, Xiaoming Zhang, Xiaoming shut up, are you addicted to shouting, right? Do you know that the brothers next door in Los Angeles call me Xiao Ming?”

“Xiao Ming is so kind.” Yi Fei said, “Tell you Xiao Ming to show that we love you.”

“Fuck you.” Ming Shu kicked Yi Fei, “Who wants you to love?”

It is already 11 o’clock in the evening, and in another hour, the bell will ring and the firework show will begin.

The four chatted for a while, and Zhou Yuan sighed: “I didn’t expect Team Liang to leave like this.”

“For those who celebrate the New Year, don’t use the unlucky word’go’.” Yi Fei said, “Team Liang just doesn’t work in our business.”

Ming Shu’s eyes deepened a bit.

A few months ago, Liang Zhao applied for transfer from the Criminal Investigation Bureau to the Beicheng Sub-bureau, on the grounds that he assisted the sub-bureau in its work. But in fact, Liang Zhao hardly participated in important work in the sub-bureau. Li Chicheng, the deputy captain, has always been in charge of criminal investigation matters, and Liang Zhao did not even come forward when the sub-bureau faced two homicide cases involving women.

Some team members speculated that Liang Chao was in a trough, but no one thought that Liang Chao would resign a year ago.

Liang Zhao’s aptitude is relatively mediocre, his vision is not broad, and he is inferior to Xiao Yuan in all aspects. Except for experience, he can’t even catch up with Ming Shu, but he was promoted from the crime team, and many members of the crime team were originally under his Growing up, everyone complained about him before, but now that he took off his police uniform, everyone’s grievances became nostalgia.

Human feelings are so complicated.

“Then Liang team is not a policeman, what will it do in the future?” Zhou Yuan asked.

“Who knows?” Yi Fei said, “He left after completing the formalities, and didn’t even go back to the crime team to take a look.”

“I think he is also quite tired.” Xing Mu held out his head from the back seat, “If I were him, maybe I would resign too.”

Yi Fei hurriedly said, “Hey, Teacher Xing, you can’t resign, you ran away with the burden, where can Xiao Ming and I find a forensic doctor like you?”

Xing Mu glanced at Ming Shu.

Yi Fei patted Ming Shu on the shoulder, “Right, Xiao Ming.”

Ming Shu was absent-minded and made a perfunctory “um”.

Xing Mu narrowed his mouth.

Yi Fei said again, “Teacher Xing can’t go.”

“I’m definitely not going.” Although Xing Mu is afraid of leadership, he is really passionate about the job of forensic medicine. Even if Ming Shu wants to chase him, he may not be able to chase him away. “What I meant just now was Team Liang. The age has arrived, but it is difficult to advance further based on ability and seniority. Li Ju has now retired. Instead of spending so embarrassingly, it is better to find another way out.”

Yi Fei touched Ming Shu with his elbow, “Why didn’t you speak anymore?”

“Huh?” Ming Shu sucked the pudding “huhhuh”, “I listen to you.”

“We didn’t talk to you before Team Liang left?” Yi Fei asked.

Ming Shu shook his head, “I have been busy these days, and I was not in the bureau when he came back to go through the formalities.”

“boom–”

Suddenly there was the sound of fireworks lifting into the sky outside, and it sounded like gunfire through the glass.

“It’s not time yet.” Zhou Yuan pressed Liang’s phone and looked at it, “Why do you start now?”

“Try it.” Ming Shu threw the finished milk tea into a plastic pocket and opened the car door, “I’ll go out and have a look.”

The M.E.S shopping mall is an open shopping mall with a large area, an indoor atrium, and a square outside. Every Christmas, New Year’s Day and Spring Festival will hold fixed celebration activities, and other small festivals often have performances.

At 11:30, people gathered in the square in an orderly manner under the guidance of the police and security-that is the best place to watch the fireworks show.

A criminal police officer of this level does not need to patrol with a shield, but the higher the position, the more he can lead by example, and he must stay at the assigned duty station and be responsible for the entire divided area.

The square was too crowded. After being hit by the crowd several times, he finally found a remote place with not too many people.

It was the most unrealistic to make a call at this time. He sent a message to Xiao Yuan: “Brother, where is it?”

Xiao Yuan responded quickly: “Look towards your two o’clock.”

Ming Shu immediately raised his head and saw Xiao Yuan standing on the third floor platform of Block A waving at him.

“Why are you there?” Mingshu asked, “You saw me a long time ago?”

Xiao Yuan said: “The place is clean and the view is good. I found it as soon as you got off the police car.”

It is worthy of the level of a special operations team sniper, his eyes are terrifying, and any movement on the square may not escape Xiao Yuan’s vision – Ming Shu thought so, and ran to Block A quickly.

The police set up two command centers at M.E.S, one at the western end of the square and the other at the position where Xiao Yuan was standing at this time.

Naturally, it is impossible for Xiao Yu’an to be the only one in the command center, but Mingshu’s appearance at this time does not appear abrupt.

They were all wearing the equipment of the special police corps, and Ming Shu reported the following to Xiao Yuan as soon as he arrived, acting as if they were doing business.

It was almost 12 o’clock, the fireworks trial stopped, and the square was quiet for a while, everyone was waiting for the New Year’s bell to ring.

Xiao Yuan pointed to the railing, “Let’s go over there.”

Ming Shu followed Xiao Yuan and turned his head to look at Xiao Yuan’s profile while standing.

Xiao Yuan smiled, “Take you to see the fireworks, do you see me?”

“Brother.” Ming Shu took a hard breath of cold air, “It’s amazing.”

Xiao Yuan knew what he was referring to and gave a deep “um”.

“This is actually the first time we spent New Year’s Eve together after I became a criminal police officer.” Ming Shu said, his eyes were hot, “It’s amazing, it’s rare.”

He and Xiao Yuan have established a relationship very early. Xiao Yuan is his elder brother, his first love, and the person who has been with him all his life, but in the past years, each of them held important positions on their own, gathering less and more, although almost all around the Spring Festival Seeing the previous side, but waiting for the bells and fireworks of the New Year together like now is strange and long-lost.

The crowd below began to count down spontaneously, and numbers appeared on the gorgeous screen.

Xiao Yuan said, “Do you also count?”

Ming Shu quit, “I am a mature man now.”

When I was a child, Ming Shu liked the New Year the most. He obviously didn’t last until 12 o’clock, and he also asked Xiao Yuan while dozing off: “Brother, you must call me, I want to set off firecrackers with you!”

——Last year, Mingshu fell asleep at around 9 o’clock. When it was almost 12 o’clock, Xiao Yu’an yelled, but didn’t wake people up. At midnight, the three Xiao brothers rushed to the yard. The firecrackers, the loud sound did not wake Mingshu. The next morning, Ming Shu looked at the red confetti all over the floor and knew how fierce the “battle” was at night, but he failed to participate in it, so he cried so much that even Xiao Jincheng, who was so skinny, had to Buy sweets to coax you.

Ming Shu fell asleep at 9 o’clock that year, but before 12 o’clock, Xiao Yu’an was awake. Ming Shu followed the three brothers in a daze to count down. However, within a few minutes of excitement, he was in Xiao Yu’an Huai again. Fell asleep in it.

Xiao Jincheng laughed at Ming Shu for a long time because he was sleepy and trying to keep the year old.

Back then, the little boy was already a strong and responsible man.

Xiao Yuan turned his face slightly, and their eyes met gently.

At this moment, the New Year’s bell rang, and people cheered, leaving behind the unsatisfactory heart of the past year, and happily welcoming the new year.

Clusters of fireworks flew toward the purple-red sky, blooming into twinkling stars, reflecting in the eyes of everyone who looked at them.

Ming Shu wanted to hold Xiao Yuan’s hand, just like setting off firecrackers when he was a child.

The main force setting off firecrackers has always been Xiao Jincheng. Xiao Muting dragged the firecrackers and ran away, and Xiao Jincheng jumped and ignited.

Originally, Xiao Yuan liked to drag firecrackers to run, but as soon as he ran, Mingshu also ran. Firecrackers, a festive thing, are dangerous. Mingshu is the smallest. If it is bombed, the consequences will be disastrous.

So Xiao Yuan stopped running, holding Mingshu’s hand, sitting on the stone bench, watching the fireworks lift off, and listening to the explosion of firecrackers.

It is rare to keep the year old together. Unfortunately, there are countless citizens in front of me and busy colleagues behind me.

They are in full view.

Ming Shu squinted at the fireworks, and for a moment, his right hand, which was on his side, lifted up.

He was wearing black leather gloves and took off the leather gloves from his right with his left hand.

The right hand gripped the cold stainless steel railing tightly, gripping very hard, and the bones and muscles on the back of the hand faintly emerged.

Xiao Yuan lowered his eyes, looked at Ming Shu’s hand, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and immediately took off the glove on his left hand.

The biggest firework rose into the sky, and Ming Shu removed his right hand from the railing.

The stainless steel is very smooth, with a covered fingerprint on it.

The temperature is too low, and the heat left on the railing will soon dissipate.

Xiao Yuan put his left hand up and held the handprint that was about to disappear.

It’s like getting in touch with the one you love.
