Madness of the Heart

Chapter 172 Fighting insects (22)

Wang Min, female, 34 years old, from Yuncheng, used to run a children’s clothing store. After losing money, she went to the countryside to hide from debt and disappeared two years ago.

Liang Xiaojun, male, 25 years old, from Xushan City, had been a “medicine man” and disappeared two years ago.

Xing Mao, male, 30 years old, from Sucheng, had worked as a magazine model, and disappeared two years ago. He had not received a job for several months before disappearing.

Zhou Li, female, 21 years old, works in Trade Fung City. There is no report of her disappearance in the system.

These four are the victims of He Yang’s fourth game.

Zhou Shan confessed that their lives at the time were very unsatisfactory and they were estranged from family and friends. It was a simple matter to lure them into the game with money and the future.

He Yang divided them into groups, the older Wang Min and Xing Mao, and the younger Liang Xiaojun and Zhou Li. The game was played in an abandoned factory in the east of Country E.

The factory has been bought by He Yang, and many horrible and **** scenes have been created in advance. The camera covers almost every corner. The audience only needs to sit in the monitoring room to clearly see what is happening in the factory.

Among the four, Zhou Li was the simplest. He was very excited when he went abroad, thinking that what he was waiting for was a dream journey. She still believed that games were just games until the doors of the factory were closed.

He Yang never invited outsiders to watch his games in the past, but this time he invited Yin Zhen, who happened to be in Country E, to the factory.

More than a dozen display screens continuously played the scenes of four people running and chasing, crying and screaming endlessly.

This greatly pleased He Yang and Yin Zhen. It seems that what they watched is just a limited movie with special effects that are very realistic.

The first person killed was Zhou Li, who died under Wang Min’s hammer.

Wang Min in the photo was gentle and beautiful. When the clothing store was still open, the local media interviewed her and gave her the name of “children’s clothing Xi Tzu” according to the fashion of the year.

But under the great fear, the desire to live has turned her into a devil alive. After subduing Zhou Li, she roared like a beast, while smashing Zhou Li’s head with a hammer in her hand, she finally sat in a pool of pus and blood, laughing unconsciously.

Soon, she was thrown off the roof by Liang Xiaojun, Zhou Li’s teammate, and her cervical spine was broken and she died on the spot.

The game lasted from morning to midnight, most of the time Xing Mao and Liang Xiaojun were avoiding each other.

He Yang and Yin Zhen looked boring, and they let Zhou Shan activate the “enjoyment” equipment prepared in advance, such as poison gas, organs, and even released the lioness locked in the basement of the factory.

Xing Mao and Liang Xiaojun were so exhausted that they had no strength to fight when they were finally forced into a room.

They are like wild beasts locked in a narrow cage, and they can only survive by killing each other, but for them, standing up has become a huge difficulty.

In the end, it was Xing Mao who killed Liang Xiaojun.

The dagger was stuck in Liang Xiaojun’s neck, and Xing Mao didn’t even have the strength to pull it out.

There is no winner in this game.

Xing Mao was seriously injured long ago. After the door was opened, before he had time to celebrate his survival, he was bitten by a hungry lioness.

The complete video has never been uploaded to the Internet and is kept by Zhou Shan.

The detectives were shocked by the cruelty of the game, and even more angry at He Yang’s madness.

The victims are scattered all over the country, and there are many “little ghosts” who have no identities. Verifying their identities is an extremely time-consuming project.

And this matter involves the He family, and there are more annoying obstructions.

The police force of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of Dongye City was limited. Xiao Yuan reported the case to the higher-level department, and the special operations team led the inspection in various places. However, Dongye City is still responsible for the verification of Xing Mao and the other four.

“The intersection of Yin Zhen and He Yang appeared in this crime.” Ming Shu said: “If there is a’third party’, then the’third party’ is likely to know one of the four victims.”

Xiao Yuan didn’t say anything for a while.

Ming Shu waited for a while, “Brother?”

Xiao Yuan said: “I was thinking, we found the intersection of Yin Zhen and He Yang. What about Jiang Xiyang and Yue Shuqing? They didn’t know He Yang, and He Yang never invited them to watch the massacre. The reason why these two people were killed is still there. unclear.”

Ming Shu put his hands on his hips.

He has changed into his winter clothes. At this time, he only wears a shirt and a bottoming shirt. The hem of the shirt is tucked into police trousers, and his waist looks thin but strong.

“Jiang Xiyang and Yue Shuqing will be released temporarily.” Ming Shu said: “The most urgent thing is to find out the background of the four of Xing Mao.”

Xiao Yuan nodded, “Let go and check, Jiang and Yue will leave it to me.”

The serious crime team and the first criminal investigation team conducted a joint operation, led by Ming Shu and Liang Chao, to the city where the four victims lived before their disappearance.

Xiao Yuan stood on the terrace, silently looking at the spring trees in the courtyard.

He Yang personally said that he found a more interesting game, and soon disappeared. If this game is a bait, then He Yang bit the bait.

The question is, what game is so attractive to He Yang? Even the new participants that Zhou Shan had sought for him, he didn’t want it too?

Maofeng City, Huotu Village.

Rape blossoms are everywhere, and Zhou Li’s hometown is here.

After the other three victims disappeared, sooner or later, someone they knew called to the police, but Zhou Li’s life and death were not cared about.

Xu Chun spent most of the day in the village, and learned that Zhou’s family had long been empty and the old house was in dilapidated condition. Zhou Li dropped out of school and went to the city as an underage.

“Does she have any close friends in the village?” Xu Chun asked.

“She can’t look down on our village.” The village cadre has a strong accent, “What friends do you have? All her friends are in the city!”

However, the fact is that Zhou Li also has no friends in Trade & Development City.

Before being taken to Country E by Zhou Shan, she worked as a shopping guide in a pharmacy. With a monthly salary of more than 2,000, she could not afford to rent a regular house. She lived in a group rented house. If she was missing, she disappeared. The landlord put her in a cubicle. Clean up, and it didn’t take long for a new tenant to be welcomed.

The interpersonal relationship between Wang Min and Xing Mao is relatively simple. After some investigation, all the people with whom they interacted live in their respective cities, and it is impossible for the possible “third party” to exist.

In Xushan City, Mingshu found a noteworthy clue.

Liang Xiaojun is a native of Neihehe County under the jurisdiction of Xushan City. His family runs a hotel and restaurant business. If he doesn’t compare with the people in the city, his life is pretty good.

However, Liang Xiaojun walked through relatives in the city when he was a child and saw the prosperity of the city. Since then, he has made up his mind to leave Hehe County in the future.

Liang Xiaojun’s parents disagree, but they can’t control him.

In Hehe County, Liang Xiaojun can be regarded as a “person of the wind”. He probably read a lot of martial arts and was obsessed with “Xing Xia Zhan Yi”. When he was in middle school, he even organized a gang to patrol around the middle and elementary schools to help the children who were bullied.

Back then, let alone the word “school violence” in the county, even in the city, few people knew it. Parents and teachers did not take a group of students to bully a certain student seriously, they thought it was a small slap in the face. It’s something.

Liang Xiaojun didn’t do it.

One of the most famous things about his gang was that he helped a girl in the second elementary school of the county.

The girl’s name recorded in the file is Cao Zhiya, from the country, without a mother, and her father is a disabled person.

Country girls usually go to school late, and some don’t even go to school. When Cao Zhiya was of school age, she was unable to attend school because she had to do farm work for her family. Later, the whole village moved. She moved to Hehe County with her disabled father. Only then did she go to school. She was transferred to the fourth grade, but she was already a junior high school girl. age.

At this age, the body began to develop, and Cao Zhiya became an outlier in the class.

In the local dialect, the pronunciation of “Cao” and “Cao” are almost exactly the same. The boys in the class and the senior boys continue to humiliate Cao Zhiya. At first, it was only a linguistic offense, and then it developed to hands-on. The girls stood in line with the boys and even helped the boys to bully Cao Zhiya.

They saw that Cao Zhiya’s disabled father couldn’t do anything to them, and they saw that the school would not punish such a large group of people for a girl who came to the countryside.

Cao Zhiya was bullied for at least half a year. It was not her relatives or teachers who saved her, but Liang Xiaojun.

Cao Zhiya was stepped on the toilet in the men’s toilet of the county’s second primary school. The public toilets that year were as dirty as the latrines in the country, and Cao Zhiya’s cries were drowned in the laughter of the boys.

Liang Xiaojun led a group of brothers rushing in, ignoring the dirt, and hugged Cao Zhiya who was covered in urine.

The summer clothes were thin, and Cao Zhiya’s clothes were soaked and stuck to her developing body, as if she was not wearing any clothes. Liang Xiaojun took off his clothes and covered them with Cao Zhiya.

A group of elementary school boys were frightened, and they knelt down to promise that they would never bully girls in the future.

Later, Cao Zhiya became a member of Liang Xiaojun’s gang until the gang was finally disbanded by the police station because of fighting.

After Liang Xiaojun became an adult, he left home and came to Xushan City. From the diary he wrote on social platforms, it can be found that his life in the city is not satisfactory because he has no academic qualifications and no skills.

“It turns out that the prosperity here does not belong to me.”

This sentence has been hung on his signature for a long time.

When he first came to Xushan City, Liang Xiaojun kept in touch with many friends. Among them is Cao Zhiya. After graduating from high school, Cao Zhiya did not continue to study and went to work in developed cities.

But because of inferiority complex, Liang Xiaojun may have broken the contact with his old friends because of his inferiority complex.

At the age of 23, he became a “medicine man.”

Some people choose to become “pharmacists” because they are forced by their lives, not Liang Xiaojun.

He was very young and strong, and he was fully able to find other jobs and become a “pharmacist”, which may reflect that he already had serious psychological problems at that time.

Two months after Liang Xiaojun’s disappearance, the nurse who contacted him discovered that he was missing and called the police.

Ming Shu asked, “Can you find Cao Zhiya?”

Zhou Yuan shook her head, “From the traces left on the Internet, Cao Zhiya’s last contact with Liang Xiaojun was half a month before Liang Xiaojun’s accident. Liang Xiaojun told her that she was going to get rich soon, and she wouldn’t have to be so. Work hard.”

Fang Yuanhang said, “Are they a couple?”

“I don’t think they have made it clear to each other.” Ming Shu said: “Liang Xiaojun is no longer the boy who used to be a “fighter and righteous man” under the successive blows of reality. He likes Cao Zhiya, but because of his poverty. I dare not confess. Similarly, Cao Zhiya did not confess his heart because of some consideration.”

After a while, Ming Shu said again: “But it doesn’t make sense-after Liang Xiaojun disappeared, why did the nurse call the police instead of Cao Zhiya?”

Fang Yuanhang said: “Cao Zhiya actually knew that Liang Xiaojun had an accident? The alarm was no longer useful?”

Ming Shu turned to Zhou Yuan, “Liang Xiaojun didn’t tell Cao Zhiya what he was going to do?”

“The only traces that can be found now are these.” Zhou Yuan said: “The strange thing is that after Liang Xiaojun was killed, Cao Zhiya also disappeared. She originally worked in Haizhou City, but her mobile phone number and social account have been there for two years. Haven’t used it.”

“Master!” Fang Yuanhang said: “If Cao Zhiya knows what happened to Liang Xiaojun, then she might get revenge for Liang Xiaojun!”

Zhou Yuan didn’t agree with him: “Can Cao Zhiya do this step?”

“Don’t underestimate the impact of bullying as a child on a person.” Fang Yuanhang said: “Without Liang Xiaojun, Cao Zhiya might have been ruined. In her heart, Liang Xiaojun is the most important person.”

Ming Shu called Yi Fei who was staying in Dongye City.

Yi Fei interrogated Zhou Shan again.

“Cao Zhiya?” Zhou Shan thought for a while, “Who is this?”

Yi Fei said: “Don’t pretend to be confused. Now that you know the background of the victims, why don’t you know Cao Zhiya?”

Zhou Shan seems to have become accustomed to dealing with criminal police officers, and is much more relaxed than when he was brought to the Criminal Investigation Bureau. “I know the victims well, but I don’t know the people around them well.”

Yi Fei put Cao Zhiya’s photo on the table, “She is Liang Xiaojun’s friend.”

Seeing the photo, Zhou Shan remembered, “It turned out to be her. She had contacted Liang Xiaojun. Liang Xiaojun liked her very much and wanted to chase him, so I also checked her by the way.”

Yi Fei said, “What did you find?”

“Just an ordinary migrant girl.” Zhou Shan said, “Nothing else.”

Yi Fei said again: “After Liang Xiaojun was killed, you and He Yang didn’t do anything to her?”

Zhou Shan looked inexplicable, “Why did you do it to her?”

Yi Fei said: “Because she knows what happened to Liang Xiaojun.”

Zhou Shan was taken aback, and quickly shook his head, “You are swindling me. Do you think Cao Zhiya was killed by me?”

After coming out of the interrogation room, Yi Fei immediately called Ming Shu back.

“So Cao Zhiya’s disappearance was not caused by Zhou Shan.” Ming Shu stood in the darkness of Xushan City, holding a half-burned cigarette between his fingers, and let out a sigh of relief.

Yi Fei said: “Zhou Shan believes that Cao Zhiya is just a working girl who can’t threaten anyone. Let me go to Haizhou City. Now it is not easy to say if she is missing, what if she is still there? ”

Luchuan City.

Just as the Dongye City police were actively investigating the victims of He Yang’s game, the Luchuan Criminal Investigation Detachment was also investigating the case of He Yang’s disappearance.

The investigations of these two cases were conducted almost without interference with each other.

Whether He Yang’s disappearance is related to the Fengtu Group’s factional struggle or revenge, Yang Jing, the leader of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Luchuan City, believes that the former is more likely.

He Yang is an important member of the He Zhaochuan faction. Once he has an accident, it will be good for He Guozhou.

A behemoth like the Fengtu Group is very troublesome to move. But Yang Jing had the courage, and under the pressure of all parties, the Fengtu Group was investigated in full.

After the incident, police came from the headquarters of Fengtu Group every day. First, the middle-level group of the He Guozhou faction was taken away for investigation. In the end, even He Guozhou himself did not escape.

The DNA test results showed that He Yang was indeed not He Guozhou’s biological son, and He Yang’s real father was the guessed He Zhaochuan.

He Guozhou admitted to hating He Yang, but denied that it was related to He Yang’s disappearance.

When Ming Shu came to the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Luchuan City, Yang Jinggang came out of the director’s office. He was obviously under training and his face was very ugly.

Fengtu Group is a major taxpayer in Luchuan City. Anyone who encounters it has to be taken care of. However, Yang Jing “invited” Fengtu’s bosses into the bureau and planned to thoroughly investigate He Guozhou’s network. The pressure layered down, and the Secretary had no choice but to warn Yang Jing and let him stop.

Ming Shu beckoned to Yang Jing. After Yang Jing saw the incoming person clearly, the suffocation on his face faded a lot, and he strode forward, “Oh, Lulu is here.”

Ming Shu: “…”

Yang Jing is a college classmate of Mingshu. He was so stout when he was studying, and he had a strong sense of justice. Now it looks like the same.

At that time, the classmates came from all over the country. A brother in the dormitory recognized “Ming Shu” as “Ming Anger.” In addition, this man came from a place where the front and back nasal sounds could not be distinguished. After talking about NU” for a long time, some people gave Mingshu the nickname “Lulu”. The reason is still very good. There is a “Lu” in the name of the school flower, and the name of Mingshu must also have a “Lu” in the name of the school grass. “.

After many years of graduation, Ming Shu almost forgot this strange nickname.

Fang Yuanhang was curious, “Master, why do you call you Lulu?”

Ming Shu coughed and ignored his apprentice.

Fang Yuanhang thought to himself, my master is really a treasure boy, Xiao Ming and Lulu, maybe there is a nickname I don’t know!

There is a saying in the police that the class associations are opened by the way during joint investigations.

Ming Shu and Yang Jing skipped even the greetings and started talking about the case directly.

Ming Shu made this trip mainly because he wanted to know the extent to which the police in Luchuan City had investigated the Fengtu Group, which directly related to whether the “third party” hypothesis between him and Xiao Yuan was valid.

Judging from the clues currently available to Yang Jing, He Yang’s disappearance was not the result of someone within the Fengtu Group.

But Yang Jing didn’t give up, “I still have to check, by the way, Lulu…”

Ming Shu said: “Change the word, don’t be so naive.”

Yang Jing smiled, “Don’t be burdened by idols, okay? How many years have you called me “Quiet”, am I upset?”

Ming Shu said: “Is this something to be proud of?”

Yang Jing patted his chest, “It shows that I am magnificent.”

Mingshu waved his hand, “Yes, you are magnificent, what did you want to tell me just now?”

Yang Jing suddenly froze, “Oops, I forgot when I interrupted.”

Dongye City, Criminal Investigation Bureau.

Xiao Yuan put a file on the table and walked to the crime team downstairs.

What he read was the unsolved Lai Xiuliang case.
