Madness of the Heart

Chapter 168 Fighting insects (18)

The red-eye flight is the most troublesome. The time is already late, and it is often late.

Xiao Yuan came back from the capital, more than two hours late, and arrived at 4 o’clock in the morning.

Although the city of Dongye is full of spring, it is still cold in the middle of the night. Mingshu slept for a while wrapped in a coat in the car. He couldn’t sleep well. He was half-dreaming and half-awake still thinking about the case. He was awake several times in the middle. Seeing the time, it was not the point where Xiao Yuan landed.

Afterwards, there was no sleep anymore, Ming Shu simply locked the car and walked to the platform outside the terminal.

3:30 in the morning is probably the quietest time in the city, but there are still bright lights around the airport and people are rushing. Ming Shu put his hands in his coat pockets and squinted at the people in the lights, perhaps because he was more emotional at night, and he was quite emotional.

It is not only demons that haunt the night, but also countless ordinary people.

Perhaps no one hopes to be still running around in the cold spring night, but there are always so many involuntary, some are forced by life, some are due to responsibility.

It is not easy to live a life in peace and stability. You have no idea whether the person who just passed you by is the same person as you or a demon in human skin.

In their eyes, you may be just a trivial bug. They laugh at your struggles and treat you as a toy for fun, and all your pain is their food.

It is the duty of the police to protect these ordinary people.

Even the police are just ordinary people.

Ming Shu exhaled a white breath, looked at the time again, and walked towards the country to arrive.

Xiao Yuan’s flight finally arrived. Very few people picked up at the baggage unloading port, plus Ming Shu was only five.

Ming Shu leaned over and looked up the escalator, not too anxious. He didn’t even see emotions on his face, as if he was just a colleague with a relationship.

But when Xiao Yuan’s figure appeared on the top of the escalator, the light in Mingshu’s eyes suddenly became clear, and the corners of his lips rose, and nostalgia couldn’t be suppressed at all.

Xiao Yuan saw him too, raised his right hand, changed from the right to the left of the escalator, and walked down quickly.

The luggage was checked, and Xiao Yuan had only one carry-on bag in his hand. Ming Shu greeted him, Xiao Yuan put his arm around his waist with one hand and kissed his lips.

The unloading hall was too empty, with only the footsteps of scattered passengers and the “clanging” of luggage falling into the conveyor belt.

This kiss was cold and a bit tired and gentle, Xiao Yuan’s hand moved up Mingshu’s back, and finally buckled the back of his neck. The kiss was over, but the two did not separate immediately.

Xiao Yuan put his forehead on Mingshu’s forehead, and the tips of his nose touched each other.

Ming Shu had been blowing in the wind for a long time, and his forehead and nose were cold, and his breath was full of cold air.

Xiao Yuan just got off the plane, breathing warm.

The breath of the two of them was tangled together, and Ming Shu suddenly felt relaxed after a long time. He lost his strength and softened into Xiao Yuan’s arms.

Xiao Yuan hugged the people, and said softly, “Thank you, Ming team.”

Ming Shu smiled and pecked Xiao Yuan’s lips, “Take the luggage.”

A black box was lifted out, and Ming Shu bent down and moved it down, “It’s so heavy, it’s all about missing me?”

Xiao Yuan rubbed his head, holding his hand and walking towards the exit.

It was still early, but there were obviously more people entering and leaving the airport than at 3 o’clock.

Ming Shu put the luggage in the trunk, “Brother, shall we go back immediately, or eat something to go back?”

“How about you?” Xiao Yuan opened the passenger’s door, “Do you want to go back to eat or eat outside?”

Ming Shu thought for a while, “Why don’t you just eat it outside? The chicken soup in Limin Street, I haven’t eaten it in a long time.”

Xiao Yuan pulled on his seat belt, “Listen to you.”

Limin Street is on the way back to the city from the airport. Chicken Soup Shop only opens morning and lunch markets. It has been for ten years. The chicken soup is rich, the dish is very big, and it comes with appetizing hot and sour side dishes. The reputation is particularly good.

Mingshu only had two taels the first time he ate. After eating, he always felt that he hadn’t eaten enough and was owed in his heart. The second time he simply asked for five taels, but in the end he really couldn’t eat anymore and “secretly” stuffed it into Xiao Yuan’s bowl. several.

Both the boss and the proprietress are hardworking people, and the Chaoshou shop opened after 4 o’clock. Ming Shu parked the car on the side of the road and smelled the scent of chicken soup as soon as he got off the car.

There are already customers in the store at this time, but not many. The lady boss had a big face and smiled honestly, “How much do you eat?”

Ming Shu glanced at Xiao Yuan.

Since the lesson that he didn’t finish the order of five liang, he has left the matter of deciding two to Xiao Yuan.

“Two by three, plus one green cabbage and one sauerkraut.” Xiao Yuan said, “Thank you.”

Mingshu felt really hungry when he sat down.

He took the high-speed train from Los Angeles back to Dongye City, and the last meal was beef noodles at the Los Angeles City Bureau canteen. Although the noodles are full, it has been ten hours since the evening.

The chicken soup was quickly put on the table, and Ming Shu reached out to get the small dish of sauerkraut, but the back of his hand was lightly tapped by the head of the chopsticks.

“Tsk!” Ming Shu glared at Xiao Yuan, “What are you doing?”

“This bowl is yours.” Xiao Yuan pushed a bowl with vegetables in front of him. “Children who don’t like vegetables.”

Ming Shu coveted sauerkraut, “Leader, make a discussion?”

“No discussion.” Xiao Yuan poured sauerkraut into his bowl.

“I remember you don’t like sauerkraut.” Ming Shu said: “Every time I add sauerkraut, you also said that sauerkraut destroys the original deliciousness of the chicken soup.”

Xiao Yuan explained calmly, “Didn’t someone throw his unfinished sauerkraut into my bowl? After I tasted it, can I get hooked?”

Ming Shu said: “Then you can’t deprive me of the right to eat sauerkraut.”

Xiao Yuan laughed, ignored him, and ate by himself.

Ming Shu wasn’t really angry either, so he immersed himself in eating the hand made with vegetables in his bowl.

It didn’t take long for Ming Shu to be honest, so he scooped one out with a spoon and handed it to Xiao Yuan, “Leader, honor you, you have been on a business trip.”

Xiao Yuan took it with a spoon, and Ming Shu was not polite, and quickly stretched the spoon into Xiao Yuan’s bowl. Not only did one spoon dig out a sauerkraut, but also a spoonful of sauerkraut.

Xiao Yuan accompany him to “perform”, and after seeing him finish eating contentedly, he asked, “Is it delicious?”

Ming Shu nodded, “It’s so fragrant in the leader’s bowl!”

After a breakfast, Mingshu at least followed Xiao Yuan’s four hands.

“Come back next time!” The lady boss said cheerfully as she cleaned up: “Oh, this is so clean, the soup is all finished!”

The sky is getting bright, and the surrounding bun shops and noodle shops are opening one after another. The car drove away from the not-so-wide alley, and shuttled through the city that was about to wake up completely.

“Some people who were treated as bugs died miserably, just like Sheng Zhi and Xiang Haoming, and some survived by chance, but they lived as if they were walking dead, just like the shadow of a lake.” Ming Shu held the steering wheel in a tone of voice. Gradually calmed down, and put away the joking tone of not long ago, “And some people want to avenge those who play with the bugs. Brother, does that mean?”

Xiao Yuan said: “Yes, Yin Zhen is probably a member of the’bugs’. Her death is not an isolated case. Since February last year, two victims with similar family backgrounds across the country have died of torture. The murderer has been killed. They didn’t find it. They also had one thing in common. The police conducted a thorough investigation of their interpersonal relationship, and all suspects were eventually proved to be impossible.”

“A person who hides extremely deep…” Ming Shu said.

“In February last year, in Miancheng, the victim Jiang Xiyang was found dead in a mountain forest on the outskirts of the city, with extensive burns on his body. These burns were all injuries during his lifetime. He was burned alive but was not burned to death. The cause of death was a sharp weapon in his leg artery. The blood loss caused by the severance is too much.” Xiao Yuan said: “Jiang Xiyang is the illegitimate son of the local richest man Haiying Real Estate owner. He is 33 years old. Although he is an illegitimate child, he has made achievements in business and naturally has many enemies. Just the year before last, Mian Mian. There was a car accident against him in the city. His assistant was killed in the car accident. He was lucky and suffered only minor injuries. Therefore, the Miancheng police’s investigation direction is very clear, investigating those who have conflicts of interest with Jiang Xiyang.”

The car stopped at the traffic lights, the sky was already blue, and people rushing for the morning shift ran across the zebra crossing.

Ming Shu said: “Like Yin Zhen, the police cannot locate the suspect?”

Xiao Yuan shook his head. “When the investigation was conducted for a month, the Miancheng police found a suspect. The man was named Zhang Junke, an employee of Jiang Xiyang’s team. Zhang Junke admitted that he had been humiliated by Jiang Xiyang for a long time at work. To be sure, any problems in the team will ultimately be the responsibility of his own. Under the grievances, he led Jiang Xiyang into the mountains and brutally killed them.”

Ming Shu frowned, “That’s how this case is ended?”

“It was over at that time.” Xiao Yuan sighed. “But this time, Team Shen and I checked the vicious case nationwide and found that there were many doubts in the details of this case-Zhang Junke was repeatedly reprimanded by Jiang Xiyang. It is well known by the department that the police in Miancheng initially believed that Zhang Jun was motivated, so they investigated him in detail and his suspicion was cleared. But a month later, he was suddenly called a suspect again, and this time he pleaded guilty. Up.”

Mingshu immediately understood, “Zhang Jun is a person who was’pushed out’.”

Xiao Yuan said: “Yes. The special operations team re-investigated this case, and Zhang Junke admitted that he had collected a huge sum of money from Haiying Group and was the real culprit.”

Ming Shu frowned, “Wait a minute, it was Haiying Group who made Zhang Jun the crime? This…”

“Jiang Xiyang’s death caused an uproar in Miancheng at that time, and the entire group was greatly affected. If the murderer is delayed in being caught, the negative impact will continue.” Xiao Yuan said: “Under the benefit, for Haiying Group , This matter must be ended as soon as possible.”

“Even if I can’t find the real culprit who killed my son…” Ming Shu shook his head, “Cold-blooded animal.”

After a pause, Xiao Yuan said again: “The Jiang Xiyang case has been taken over by the special operations team. Another incident occurred in May last year. The victim Yue Shuqing was 31 years old and died by the farmhouse septic tank in Zhoukou Town, Sui City.”

Ming Shu asked: “What is the cause of death?”

“After anatomy, Yue Shuqing had a lot of feces in his respiratory tract, mouth, and lungs.” Xiao Yuan said: “He was drowned alive in a septic tank. And the murderer has repeatedly pressed his head into the septic tank. When he couldn’t bear it, he pulled him up again to give him a chance to live, and then repeat the process.”

Mingshu got goosebumps, “It’s too cruel.”

Xiao Yuan said: “This case has not been solved so far. Yue Shuqing’s mother is the daughter of the wealthy Xin family. Yue Shuqing himself teaches at an art academy and runs a gallery. He is approachable and his students hardly know the family strength behind him. How strong is it.”

Ming Shu drove the car for a while, “Yin Zhen, Jiang Xiyang, Yue Shuqing. You and Team Shen judged from their similarities that they used to torture people as bugs, but were later bitten back by worms?”

Xiao Yuan said: “This is not a judgment, it is just a guess after excluding other possibilities. It is probably not correct.”

Ming Shu felt his body warm up gradually, as if something was burning vigorously in his body.

“At present, we have not found any intersection between these three people, and their personalities displayed in front of others are also very different. Yin Zhen is lively, fashionable, innovative, and knows how to capture trends, whether it is in her own company or family business. Here, her popularity is very good. Jiang Xiyang, as an illegitimate child, grew up in blindness and competition, and has a deep desire for power and money. He strictly requires himself, and also hopes that his employees are like him. This and Lai Xiuliang has similarities.” Xiao Yuan said: “Finally, Yue Shuqing, this person has nothing to do with the world, never shows his family background, and maintains a good relationship with colleagues and students in the school, and does not get too close. .”

Ming Shu concluded: “They are three different types of people.”

Xiao Yuan closed his eyes, leaned back in the chair, and said slowly, “There is no evidence for everything.”

After a moment of silence in the car, Ming Shu suddenly said, “What about Lai Xiuliang? Although Lai Xiuliang is also a rich man, he is too far apart from them. However, the “interpersonal relationship investigation has failed”, which is similar to them.”

Xiao Yuan didn’t speak, as if he was asleep, but Ming Shu knew he didn’t.

The car drove into the community and stopped quietly.

Xiao Yuan opened his eyes, “Hu Ying said, He Yang first found the people at the bottom of the society, and only later found him and Sheng Zhi. The reason is that He Yang felt that the fight between ordinary people seemed enjoyable, but there was no aesthetic feeling. .”

Ming Shu’s spirit suddenly tightened, “Bringing into He Yang’s psychology, his crime is constantly evolving. When ordinary people can’t satisfy him, he finds a star, and when a star can’t satisfy him…”

“In addition to the situation we have imagined, people like He Yang may also look for’rich people.'” Xiao Yuan said: “Of course the so-called’rich’ is just relative.”

Ming Shu said: “Lai Xiuliang is a ‘bug’ in another sense?”

The morning sun leaped completely from below the horizon, but it is difficult to see the real sunrise in the city.

In a private manor on the outskirts of Dongye City, He Yang, wearing a bathrobe, walked onto the terrace from the shadow of the room to watch the sunrise in the forest comfortably.

Compared with the sunset, the morning glow does not have so many endless colors, but it is fresh and beautiful.

He Yang stood on the terrace for a long time, until the Jin Hui of the morning glow gradually dispersed, and then he turned around unhurriedly.

Zhou Shan, dressed in a neat suit, stood quietly behind him.

“How long have you been here?” He Yang asked as he walked to the greenhouse not far away.

In the morning, the temperature did not rise, and I felt cold after standing for too long.

“It’s been a while.” Zhou Shan followed He Yang.

The well-trained servant quietly put the breakfast on the table and left quietly. It seems that in this manor, they are not people, just moving furniture.

He Yang sat on the wicker chair, picked up the spoon, and stirred in the softly boiled porridge, “What’s the matter?”

“Liang Zhao has been persuaded by me.” Zhou Shan said, “Now he is in Yingcheng, waiting for my arrangements. Do you want to let him participate in the game now, or wait…”

He Yang raised his hand, “Wait.”

Zhou Shan put on a respectful listening, “Huh?”

“Liang Zhao…” He Yang narrowed his eyes, “Who is this? It sounds familiar.”

Zhou Shan smiled, “You are busy with business, maybe you don’t remember. Liang Zhao is the policeman who was squeezed out of the city bureau.”

“Oh—” He Yang stretched his voice, “He.”

“Yes, you told me to’fix’ him a while ago.”

“You have always been so neat in your work.”

Zhou Shan bowed his head respectfully, “But Mr. He, we may still need a policeman.”

He Yang was a little absent-minded. After taking a few sips of porridge, he put the spoon aside, “It seems that you have helped me find a good candidate.”

Zhou Shan said: “Zhou Ping of the city bureau’s special police corps was once one of the best special police officers in Dongye City. He was seriously injured when he was an undercover agent in the past few years. Although he was rescued, he suffered a mental breakdown. Psychological Research Center. I think this person is the most…”

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Shan found He Yang was looking at himself with a playful expression.

“Mr. He?”

He Yang slowly said: “Are you looking for someone for my game, or are you borrowing my hand to avenge your own revenge?”

Zhou Shan’s complexion changed.

He Yang sneered, “You are my secretary. If you have any needs, just speak to me. Don’t make small moves behind my back.”

“Mr. He…” Zhou Shan’s eyebrows beat, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

He Yang said: “Your background is clear to me. Don’t forget who gave you your current identity.”

Zhou Shan lowered his head, not daring to speak out.

After a short pause, He Yang said again: “It’s not a big deal, don’t be too nervous. The Ming forgiveness from the crime team has already been watching me now, and Zhou Ping can’t move for the time being.”

Zhou Shan whispered: “Yes.”

“As for Liang Zhao…” He Yang said, “Just let it go for a while.”

Zhou Shan frowned, “Do you have a new plan?”

There was a greedy and crazy light in He Yang’s eyes, “I recently discovered more interesting games.”

Los Angeles, Huajing Phase II Community.

“Aw! Aw!” A big Demu ran in the living room happily, knocked off the pillow on the sofa, rushed to the bedroom with a toy bone, and shook his big tail quickly.

Liu Zhiqin was putting things in his suitcase, in addition to clothes, he also had his special laptop.

Hua Chong drove away Dade Mu, “It’s not you who went out, what are you excited about?”

Da Demu seemed to understand, and his ears suddenly collapsed.

Liu Zhiqin pulled the zipper on the box, stood up and hugged Hua Chong and kissed it lightly.

Hua Chong laughed: “‘Keyboardman’ is about to go out again. Go to the special operations team and perform well.”

Liu Zhiqin said: “You also agree with Xiao Ju’s idea, then my task is to find practical evidence for your idea.”
