Madness of the Heart

Chapter 174 Fighting insects (24)

Looking for clues abroad is no better than investigating at home. It is not only difficult and perilous, but you must always pay attention to hiding your identity.

Ming Shu wanted to order a few technical team members, but after thinking about it, he removed them all and replaced them with field team members with high combat effectiveness.

Surprisingly, Xiao Yuan is also on the list of going to Country E.

“Shouldn’t Xiao Ju sit in the back?” Zhou Yuan was a little strange, “If Xiao Ju is away, who will handle the daily affairs?”

Xiao Man, who was “slashed” by Ming Shu, said, “You forgot that Team Liang is back? I heard that Team Liang should have rested for a while, but was forced by Xiao Ju to suppress it. I guess Xiao Ju had already considered it. This is the case now.”

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, “But Xiao Ming is looking for players with great skills. Will Xiao Ju fight a fight?”

Xiao Man said: “I don’t think so. Xiao Ju is that kind of brain that is particularly powerful. Normally, the brain is too powerful, and the skill is not very good.”

Zhou Yuan seconded, “I think too.”

Xiao Yuan, who was defined by his subordinates as “not very skilled”, was assembling a rifle.

They have to carry a lot of things this time, the most indispensable of which is guns.

Although the economy of Country E is developed, because of its special social model, public security is not good outside the prosperous areas. Near the border, there are even notorious illegal arms dealers.

The crime squad will touch on the darkest and sordid side of this country.

“Brother.” Ming Shu put the tried tactical vest on the table. Soon, it will be put in his luggage. “Are you really going to go?”

“Why exclude me?” Xiao Yuan asked with a smile, “I am not a technical team member.”

Ming Shu said: “Everyone is talking about you.”

Xiao Yuan said: “I’m not good at it? Will it drag you back when I go?”

Others don’t know what Xiao Yuan’s level is, so can Mingshu still not know. When Xiao Yuan was in the special operations team, he had never seen a big battle. This time he went to chase a clue and it was just a trivial matter.

Ming Shu sighed, “Brother, in fact, you don’t worry about me going alone.”

Xiao Yuan put down the assembled rifle and turned to face Ming Shu.

Ming Shu: “Huh?”

Xiao Yuan raised his hands, held his cheeks, and shook it gently.

“Do your hands and feet.” Ming Shu smiled: “Is it fun to rub your face?”

Xiao Yuan said: “It’s fun to rub your face.”

“Xiao Ju, please be mature.”

“Team Ming, please relax.”

Ming Shu said, “I am very relaxed.”

“So entangled, do I go to country E or stay, or relax?” Xiao Yuan walked past him, picked up the magazine box behind him, “Going to country E with you, on the one hand, objective conditions allow and need I’m going-Team Liang is here, and Yi Fei is also in the crime team. I don’t need to worry about domestic affairs for the time being, and there are more variables in Country E. My experience may come in handy.”

Ming Shu said, “What about the other side?”

“On the other hand.” Xiao Yuan laughed, “Of course it’s because of you. Subjectively, I want to be with you and tie you to me at all times.”

Ming Shu’s eyes were sharp, he pressed the corners of his lips hard, clasped his fists in both hands, “Okay, lead you to stop, the subordinates can realize your strong love!”

East of Country E.

Under the black cloud, a gray and black dilapidated building appeared in the eyes of everyone.

This is the abandoned factory where He Yang played the fourth game in the video provided by Zhou Shan.

This place is remote enough that it was a small city more than ten years ago-say it is a city, its size is only equivalent to a small county in China.

After the economic structure changed, factories closed down, local people left one after another, the whole city quickly declined, and soon became a stronghold of scattered gangs.

The abandoned factory was bought by Zhou Shanzhao and He Yang. Before that, it had been changed owners several times, and it was cheaper to sell once.

He Yang spends a lot of money on the so-called game, and doesn’t care about the money spent. After the end of the fourth game, He Yang neither asked Zhou Shan to change it, nor did he come back again.

Today, it is like a tomb filled with resentment, almost melted into the wildly growing vegetation around it.

“Go in and take a look.” Ming Shu said.

The iron gate has no padlock and can be easily pushed open. Judging from the indentation of grass and soil, it is not without visitors.

Fang Yuanhang and Xu Chun walked in front, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

Xiao Yuan followed closely, observing the footprints and said: “Almost all men.”

Ming Shu approached, “People in Country E are generally tall, with wide and long feet, but women generally don’t have such a big size.”

“Engineering shoes.” Xiao Yuan said: “It seems that this place may be demolished soon.”

Ming Shu walked forward and suddenly knelt down and said, “Xiao Ju, look at this mud footprint.”

Xiao Yuan stepped forward, “Small outdoor shoes.”

Ming Shu looked up, “Female?”

“Do not rule out small men.” Xiao Yuan looked around.

Ming Shu immediately understood, “Maybe the owner of the footprint did not come alone?”

“Yeah.” Xiao Yuan walked five meters away, “There is also a set of mud footprints here.”

The two sets of footprints are completely different from the footprints next to them. They are thinner and narrower, and are different from the general foot shape of E nationals. One group of male footprints is similar to Ming Shu’s foot shape.

Ming Shu and Xiao Yuan looked at each other, and Ming Shu immediately called Fang Yuanhang over to take pictures.

This time Xiao Man didn’t come, and Fang Yuanhang was used as a half-mark inspector. He was curious and quick to learn. He had been with Xiao Man for a long time and stole a lot of teachers.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s useful or not, save it.” Ming Shu walked in, and was soon enveloped in the shadow of the building.

The factory has three floors on the ground and a basement below. Many of the scenes He Yang set up at the time are still there, and there are patches of nearly black marks on the wall—this is how old blood stains are.

The first victim, Zhou Li, died on the first floor. The body had been disposed of long ago, but there were still some permissible blood stains in the cracks on the ground.

Ming Shu stood there for a while and walked upstairs.

The monitoring room is on the third floor, and the place where Liang Xiaojun was last killed by Xing Mao is also on the third floor.

As he approached the “duel room”, Ming Shu sniffed and noticed an unusual smell in the air.

In fact, the strange smell has been pervading all around. When I first came in, I felt pungent, and I got used to it after a long time, but the smell was different just now. It was very weak and seemed to dissipate soon.

Ming Shu felt familiar, like the smell of gunpowder after firecrackers were set off.

He quickened his pace, and when he saw the scene in the “Duel Room”, a touch of surprise appeared in his eyes.

“This……”

The ground is covered with red confetti!

Fang Yuanhang also rushed over and said loudly: “Firecrackers?”

They had seen this scene not long ago. In Fanglong Alley in Dongcheng District, there was a pit full of red confetti. Buried in it was Xiang Haoming, an innocent boy who died.

There is obviously no other body here, but the appearance of red confetti is unusual.

Country E has no custom of setting off firecrackers, and people here don’t even know what firecrackers are.

“Master, look there!” Fang Yuanhang pointed to an easily overlooked corner, “A candle for sacrificial offerings!”

There were two red candles standing in the corner of the wall, only a short section remained, almost burning to the end. Between the red candles, a lot of incense ash was piled up.

There is no doubt that someone once commemorated Liang Xiaojun or Xing Mao here.

“Firecrackers are for the dead. In Hehe County, Xushan City, there is a custom of using firecrackers to miss the dead.” Xiao Yuan picked up a few pieces of red confetti. “The third floor is relatively closed, and the smell is not easy to dissipate, from the intensity of gun smoke. In terms of degree, firecrackers are set off around the Spring Festival this year.”

Fang Yuanhang clenched his fist, “Sure enough, someone is avenging the victim. Hehe County, is it really Cao Zhiya?”

Ming Shu pushed aside the red paper scraps on the ground, but did not see the footprints.

The footprints in the mud downstairs are outwards, that is, when they leave, there are no mud spots in the room.

“I didn’t expect this kind of gain.” Ming Shu was speaking, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiao Yuan looking at the phone.

“News from Liu Zhiqin.” Xiao Yuan said: “He has arrived in Krogja City.”

Krogja is the most populous city in the eastern part of Country E. The main city is prosperous and orderly, but the satellite cities within its radiation range hide dirt and dirt. The black market is carrying out activities that should not exist in a civilized society.

The city of Eppole, where He Yang often goes, is the largest satellite city in Kroga.

The illegitimate but ambitious illegitimate son Jiang Xiyang, who is not to be seen at home, and the personable Yue Shuqing in the eyes of his peers and students, are regular visitors of Epal City.

Liu Zhiqin has found out that they have a face that is completely opposite to their daily lives. Their identity is forged. Every time they pay high fees to the local snakes as citizens of F and N, they avoid the customs to enter and get acquainted. Yin Zhen, who has been active in the city of Kroga for a long time.

“There is no sign that He Yang knows Jiang Xiyang and Yue Shuqing.” Liu Zhiqin said: “Yin Zhen knows all of them. I now highly suspect that these series of cases were caused by the massacre game organized by Yin Zhen. . Yin Zhen is the host, He Yang, Jiang Xiyang, and Yue Shuqing are all guests, and there may be other guests. Whether it is host or guest, to the Avengers, that is, the “third party” you call, they are all revenge. All of his goals must die.”

As night fell, the nightlife of Eppala began.

The night here is not as orderly as in the country, from the prosperous to the prosperous, to the keen criminal police, it always seems to be able to feel that there are countless pairs of greedy eyes around them, staring at them.

When he went to the countryside, Ming Shu had long put on the retro thin leather jacket that is now particularly popular in E country, but inside the leather jacket is a sharp dagger and pistol for combat.

Liu Zhiqin’s dress is similar to Ming Shu. The two of them are considered to be very tall in China, and walking together can not help but attract attention, but on the streets of Country E, there are too many tall people, which just happens to make them not too outstanding.

The streets are not spacious. Men selling “medicine” and women doing body trading openly solicit customers on the side of the road. However, the more exciting performances have barriers to entry, and not everyone can see them.

The team members dispersed like rainwater entering the river, and Ming Shu and Liu Zhiqin turned into a narrow alley, and the lights dimmed a lot.

“Yin Zhen is called a’good person’ here, do you know why?” Liu Zhiqin asked.

Ming Shu thought for a while, “Don’t say she saved a lot of people.”

Liu Zhiqin said: “It’s really like this.”

“Then she leaned on these people to play her perverted game in Country E?” Ming Shu frowned, “Mad.”

“All women.” Liu Zhiqin said while checking the route, “They are loyal to her.”

Ming Shu said: “You should say it differently-they were brainwashed by Yin Zhen.”

The two stopped in front of a small four-story building.

In this area, the buildings are almost all of this height.

Ming Shu knocked on the door, and soon there was a response from inside, it was a woman.

The door opened and an East Asian face appeared in the iron fence.

The woman’s eyes were defensive, and her pursed lips moved.

Ming Shu raised his eyes and saw three women still standing in the room, they were curling their necks and looking out.

“Treasure.” Ming Shu called out—this was the name Liu Zhiqin had found out in advance.

The woman was visibly startled, and her gaze at Ming Shu became even stranger.

For a moment, she asked in unfluent Mandarin: “Who are you?”

“I’m Yin Zhen’s family.” Ming Shu smiled gently but heavily, “Can I come in?”

Hearing the word “Yin Zhen”, the attitude of the woman named “Treasure” suddenly changed. She already put her hand on the lock of the iron fence, and a woman behind suddenly spoke a series of E words to her.

Cherish turned around, exchanged a few words with the other party, his eyes became defensive again, “Where is my sister?”

The women in this room seem to be older than Yin Zhen, but they call Yin Zhen “elder sister.”

Ming Shu’s eyes were sad, “I’m here this time because…she has passed away.”

Cherish opened her eyes immediately, took a step back, and looked at Ming Shu in disbelief.

“Open the door.” Ming Shu said: “Now only you can help her.”

Cherish staggered towards the house, speaking the local language excitedly.

Ming Shu counted, if everyone living in this building came out, it would be five.

In Country E, Yin Zhen asked five women to support her in the name of good deeds.

Liu Zhiqin whispered: “Look at their eyes, they are really sad for Yin Zhen. Yin Zhen disappeared last year and hasn’t appeared for a long time. They may already have a bad feeling.”

Ming Shu nodded.

A few minutes later, Treasure walked out and asked before opening the door: “How do you prove that you are your sister’s relatives?”

Ming Shu’s expression suddenly became fierce, “Someone killed her, I want revenge for her!”

Cherish the surprise, and tremblingly opened the iron fence.

Liu Zhiqin asked: “Can you understand Chinese?”

Cherish nodded with red eyes, “Yeah.”

Liu Zhiqin found a report on Yin Zhen’s murder from his mobile phone, “Let’s see it.”

The women were all surrounded, but only cherished one person who understood Chinese.

While cherishing to explain to them the content of the report, Ming Shu roughly surveyed the first floor.

The interior decoration is quite cozy, but the five women seem to be kept in captivity by Yin Zhen. Yin Zhen gave them a worry-free life, and they became Yin Zhen’s tools for evil.

Cherish returning the phone to Liu Zhiqin, looking blank.

Ming Shu’s mood is very inflammatory. “She was killed by someone, but the police could not catch the murderer. We can only pin our hopes on you.”

Cherish choked up and said: “I… what can I do?”

Ming Shu stared at her for a moment, “I want to talk to you alone.”

Cherish taking Mingshu to a room upstairs, while Liu Zhiqin used the wireless network of this house on the first floor to easily access all the devices in it.

“My sister hired someone to kill my husband, and she saved my life.” Cherish told Mingshu that she had been severely beaten by her husband for a long time and could not be divorced. As long as her husband does not die, she will be tortured to death.

The other four people living here are in similar situations with her, they were all rescued by Yin Zhen, and they have been obedient to Yin Zhen since then.

Ming Shu wants to ask-do you know what you do for Yin Zhen?

But the current situation does not allow him to explore too much. The information he must know is how many killings Yin Zhen organized and who the victims were.

“Three years ago, in March, did she organize a game?” Ming Shu asked.

Cherish the unwillingness to say at first, the words dodge.

Ming Shu said: “I am sure that the person who killed her was related to the participants of the game.”

Cherish finally nodded, “Yes.”

“Where?” Ming Shu said, “Do you keep the video and the information of the participants?”

After half a minute, Cherish nodded again, “Yes.”

Liu Zhiqin has found the encrypted folder stored in a computer, and it is not difficult to crack it.

Cherish and say: “Wait for me.”

Within a quarter of an hour, I cherished returning with a USB flash drive, but did not immediately hand the USB flash drive to Ming Shu.

“Are we people committing crimes too?” Cherishing the lack of light in his eyes, he muttered to himself: “But that is my sister’s wish…”

Mingshu restrained as much as possible, took the USB flash drive from Cherish, and walked downstairs.

Liu Zhiqin completed the cracking of the encrypted folders, sorted by time, and one of them was made in March three years ago.

The women huddled in the corner, some still crying.

Mingshu handed the USB flash drive to Liu Zhiqin. Liu Zhiqin scanned it and gave Mingshu a look.

“Maybe there are still places where you need your help.” Ming Shu cherishes: “Next time, can I find you here?”

Cherish the silence for a while, “Without sister, we have nowhere to go.”

Leaving the small building, Ming Shu and Liu Zhiqin walked out of the alley quickly.

There is too much filth here, but it is outside the scope of their law enforcement. Time is running out, and the most important thing now is to verify all the victims of the game three years ago.

The night was deeper than before. Coming out of the alley, Ming Shu suddenly smelled a hint of danger.

Someone is following them.

Ming Shu looked to the side, then turned around.

This place is the most chaotic neighborhood to the west of Epoli, and the black market is just below this neighborhood. At the beginning, He Yang and others were here to enjoy the cruel performances.

“Ms. Liu.” Ming Shu suppressed his voice extremely low: “Have you noticed?”

Liu Zhiqin is not just a member of the information warfare at the special operations headquarters. Before becoming a cyber security expert, he was once a member of the field force.

“Yeah.” He stared at the front. “There are eyeliners from various gangs everywhere. Outsiders, it’s hard not to attract attention.”

As soon as the voice fell, gunshots rang out suddenly.

Ming Shu slammed Liu Zhiqin away with a shoulder, and his body turned abruptly by inertia, fell back at a high speed, and slid backwards against the ground with his right shoulder.

A series of bullets splashed among them, and the flames flew, Mingshu several rolled and dodged, and the moment they stabilized their center of gravity, they drew their guns and shot them where they came from!
