Madness of the Heart

"How can there be so many double personalities!"

Shouting this sentence in a daze, Ming Shu opened his eyes.

In front of him, it was not the bright but cramped interrogation room of the Crime Squad, and he did not sit on a firm chair. The wall lamp in the ceiling mezzanine exudes a warm light, and the floor-to-ceiling windows are mostly covered by heavy curtains. All the furnishings are in order, and the surroundings are quiet, but not the lifeless quiet.

This is his home with Xiao Yuan.

"Wake up?" Just as Ming Shu sat up on the sofa, Xiao Yuan came out of the study, wearing thick home clothes for autumn and winter, and wearing a thin light gray sweater outside.

Ming Shu looked down and saw that he and Xiao Yuan were wearing the same style of home clothes.

This set of clothes was only taken out. The two people wore thin pajamas for the summer and autumn season before at home. After this trip, Xiao Yuan found the thick clothes.

This can be considered as the "welfare" only available to Xiao Yuan.

When Mingshu lived alone in Dongye City, although there were home clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter in the closet, he was too lazy to look for it when the season changed, and had to be too cold to find clothes. Sometimes he deliberately gave Xiao Yu. Ann made a call and asked—Brother, do you know where I put my checkered pajamas?

"What time is it?" Ming Shu stretched out, not sober.

Just now he continued to interrogate Yin Xiaofeng in his dream. Yin Xiaofeng initially only admitted to killing Qiu Min, but not to killing Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan. Later, the police found new evidence. Yin Xiaofeng had to plead guilty, but he also said that he had a dual personality. , The one who killed Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan was another personality and had nothing to do with him.

"It's just a little bit." Xiao Yuan approached, pressing his hand on Mingshu's head and rubbing it a few times.

Ming Shu groaned comfortably, his tone softened, "Just a little bit? I thought it was almost dawn."

When they came back from the city office not long ago, he took a hasty bath and didn't even bother to go back to the bedroom. He fell asleep on the sofa. Before returning home, I was interrogating Yin Xiaofeng and holding a case analysis meeting. After I returned home, I was still investigating the case in my dream. I slept restlessly, and I still felt tired when I woke up. But after all, I squinted for a while, and my spirit was much better than when I took a bath.

"Hungry?" Xiao Yuan asked.

Mingshu touched his stomach and remembered that he had eaten a cake at night, so he raised his face and poked his chin twice in Xiao Yuan's abdomen. "It turns out that you don't sleep in the middle of the night, so you are waiting for me to wake up and make me supper ?"

Xiao Yuan patted Ming Shu's forehead, "I want to be beautiful."

Ming Shu looked in the direction of the kitchen and sniffed it exaggeratedly, indeed there was no scent.

Usually, if Xiao Yuan wants to make him supper, the kitchen must have cooked something early.

"Is there no supper?" Ming Shu straightened up and wrapped Xiao Yuan's waist, "I woke up for nothing? My brother doesn't hurt me anymore?"

Xiao Yuan laughed, her voice low, with a little tired hoarse, "You are tired, I am not tired? What do you want to eat, I order takeaway."

Ming Shu suddenly felt a little pain.

If it wasn't for being too tired to move, Xiao Yuan would definitely make him a supper, a bowl of noodles, or a bowl of dumplings.

"Brother--" Ming Shu's tail was elongated, his face buried in Xiao Yuan's upper abdomen, and he didn't want to say anything else, just like Lai for a while.

Xiao Yuan let him hold him, casually pinching the back of his neck with one hand, already holding the phone in the other hand and starting to order takeaway, "Want something light or appetizing?"

"All." Ming Shu's voice was muffled in Xiao Yuan's clothes, and it sounded a little buzzing, "A few more, I'm hungry and cold now."

The strength on the back of the neck became a bit heavier, and Ming Shu was pinched quite comfortably, and he didn't want to move at all.

After Xiao Yuan had finished ordering, he was also sitting on the sofa, Ming Shu put his head on Xiao Yuan's lap, and actually fell asleep again.

This time, I was fine. I didn't continue to interrogate Yin Xiaofeng in my dream, nor did I bother to find clues. I slept firmly, but unfortunately, the deliveryman called after not sleeping long.

"I'll get it." Xiao Yuan said.

The most satisfying "pillow" slipped away, and Ming Shu had to get up.

After the door opened and closed, Xiao Yuan came in with two pockets.

"So much?" Ming Shu couldn't help pursing his mouth.

"Go get the bowls and chopsticks and juice." Xiao Yuan took out the take-out box and ordered Ming forgiveness.

"Good!" Ming Shu immediately walked to the kitchen, Dingling Dangdang washed the dishes, and picked out a bottle of fresh juice with a short shelf life in the refrigerator.

In fact, there is still wine in the refrigerator. Of course the best drink for midnight snacks is wine. Juice is too pediatric, but both he and Xiao Yuan have a habit of never drinking alcohol during the investigation.

The takeaway boxes are all opened. The light ones include wild mushroom ribs porridge, coconut cake, crispy meat, and the appetizers include stir-fried pigtails, iron frogs, and boiled fish. The last box also contains steamed hairy crabs.

"Four, two for one person?" Ming Shu asked with one.

"You can also eat all four." Xiao Yuan said.

Ming Shu Zhile, ate three of them, and peeled one to Xiao Yuan.

It was not that he was rushing for food, but that Xiao Yuan didn't like to eat hairy crabs, and these four were actually ordered for him.

After eating and drinking enough, Ming Shu took out the garbage and threw it away. With a lot of clear mind, he began to ponder the case again.

"What were you shouting before?" Xiao Yuan asked: "I heard a'dual personality'."

Ming Shu said his dream and asked: "Brother, Yin Xiaofeng now refuses to admit that Qiu Min's body was exhumed and divided, let alone that he killed Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan. Have you seen the interrogation record? Does he look like him? Are you lying?"

Xiao Yuan said: "It is because of this that you think Yin Xiaofeng may have another personality?"

"It's not what I think." Ming Shu tapped his temple, "It's just a dream."

"Dream is the projection of the subconscious." Xiao Yuan said: "Before you fell asleep, you must have thought about this."

"I..." Ming Shu couldn't refute this. In fact, not only before falling asleep, but when he was still in the interrogation room, he thought of the possibility of dual personality, but quickly denied himself.

"Then what do you think?" Ming Shu gradually calmed down, "Qiu Min is already dead, but someone ordered takeout in Shouquan Town with Qiu Min's mobile phone on October 14th. The delivery person said that it was a man wearing a peaked cap. This person is likely to be Yin Xiaofeng, but Yin Xiaofeng said that it is not him. Monitoring is scarce near Qiyue Mountain, and it is temporarily impossible to determine the whereabouts of Yin Xiaofeng on the 14th. Assuming Yin Xiaofeng did not lie, who would this person be? Qiu Min was divided and killed. The murderer of Lu and Zhao?"

Xiao Yuan said: "In fact, the idea that you just now is not unreasonable. It's just that there are too few cases of dual personality. The case of Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan is pushed to another personality of Yin Xiaofeng. If the murderer is someone else, it will be troublesome."

"During the interrogation, I was face to face with Yin Xiaofeng. His subtle reactions did not seem to be lying. You and Brother Xing also think that the murderer of Qiu Min and the corpse was not the same person, but I don’t understand, if not the same Personally, what is the motive of the latter?" Ming Shu hugged his leg, "Whether it is to divide Qiu Min or kill Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan, this person's motive is too vague. There are also those ten iron nails. Yin Xiaofeng can easily obtain iron nails, but Yin Xiaofeng said that he doesn't know what iron nails are. The other four people in Haijing Temple who can get iron nails as easily as Yin Xiaofeng."

Mentioning the four people, Ming Shu felt a headache. "Other monasteries accept good people. This Haijing Temple accepts all problematic people."

Xiao Yuan said: "Chu Xin also found out the problem?"

"That's not true." Ming Shu said: "Chu Xin's situation is the most special. What we now know is that he had undergone heart surgery abroad, and he had a relationship with Chu Linxiong's four sons before he became a monk, especially the most popular one. Chu Qingming fought secretly. Chu Qing was not as good as him back then, and Chu Linxiong also favored him. These clues have nothing to do with the case, but I always feel that Chu Xin is hiding something. He has a bright future for a monk, no It may just be the so-called "see through the red dust"."

As he said, Ming Shu grabbed his head, "But I guess that the high probability is related to the Chu family struggle."

"In terms of the possibility of obtaining iron nails, Fang Pingxu, Chu Xin, Liu Sui, and Tang Yuan all have a chance." Xiao Yuan put his hand on Ming Shu's shoulder. "Liu Sui admitted that he had killed one person 27 years ago and was a female. Will he always hate women because he cannot be accepted by the world with Tang Yuan? Compared with Liu Sui, Tang Yuan’s possibility of committing crimes is relatively low. As for Fang Pingxu, he has a distorted personality since he was a child and almost killed him when he was a few years old. The biological daughter of his adoptive parents, now that he does any evil, it is in line with his personality. As for Chu Xin, this person is indeed covered with a layer of fog."

Ming Shu closed his eyes and said nothing.

"But if you only stare at these four people, your mind will be limited." Xiao Yuan turned around. "Don't forget that the nails were originally placed in the backyard of the Buddhist meditation house. The ones that are easiest to get the nails are actually missing. Peep the dust."

Ming Shu's back tightened.

"In addition, those pilgrims who are familiar with Haijing Temple and other monks who have left Haijing Temple must also be found as soon as possible." Xiao Yuan said: "Our focus has been on the five people in Haijing Temple these days. Now Yin Xiaofeng Now that a crime has been admitted, the scope of the investigation should be expanded. Don't over-drill the "possible" or "impossible". Any incident will already be "inevitable", understand?"

Ming Shu nodded, "I understand."

After speaking, the neck was clasped with a force, and Ming Shu was not ready, and was immediately pressed into the bedding.

Xiao Yuan turned off the bedside lamp, "Go to sleep, don't think about it, you will still be busy after dawn."

Ming Shu wanted to say that he was not drowsy now, so he could "brainstorm" and be taken into a familiar embrace.

He snorted comfortably.

Xiao Yuan kissed him gently in his ear and ordered: "Sleep."

The next day, even if he only slept for a few hours, Ming Shu came to the Criminal Investigation Bureau in full vigor.

After one night, Yin Xiaofeng still did not change his confession.

"I didn't kill those two people."

"I don't know what nails are."

"I didn't divide Qiu Min's body."

"The phone? I threw it away with the clothes."

"I haven't used Qiu Min's mobile phone to order takeaway."

Ming Shu thought of what Xiao Yuan had said to him before going to bed—any event that happened, it was already "inevitable."

There is no point in logically arguing whether it is reasonable, because it happened long ago. What a good criminal police should do at this time is to find out the reasonable truth under its unreasonable appearance.

"Take Yin Xiaofeng to do a systematic mental appraisal." Ming Shu confessed the task. "The monks who are not in Haijing Temple now have registered at the police station before. Find them and verify their identities one by one. The pilgrims will be in trouble. Some, you can only inquire about Chu Xin's group."

At this time, Fang Yuanhang got a portrait of Peeping Chen made according to the description of the monks.

"I don't see any characteristics." Fang Yuanhang said: "But the credibility of this portrait is still relatively high, because it was drawn based on the description of five people, unlike the one by Long Tianhao."

The portrait was posted on the mobile device of each team member, and Ming Shu stared at it for a while, "How do I think I've seen it before?"

Yi Fei said: "Then you think about it?"

Ming Shu asked, "Don't you have any impression?"

Yi Fei shook his head, "I'm not with you 24 hours a day, I've seen people you meet?"

"No." Ming Shu said, "It's not the kind of'seen'. I think this face is quite familiar. I saw it on TV a long time ago."

"TV?" Yi Fei looked at the portrait carefully, "Actor? Show anchor? Crowd? Is it a wanted criminal?"

Ming Shu frowned and thought for a long time, "No, I can't remember. I'd better investigate according to the idea I just mentioned. Now that the picture is out, I contact various media. The disappearance of Xu Chen is inexplicable, so I have to find out how to find the person."

The murder of Zhou Tingting by Liu Sui has pushed the entire police system of Shouquan Town into a rather embarrassing situation.

The bribery was Liu Sui's late father. The main briber was Qian Da, who had taken off his police uniform. However, none of the people who were responsible for investigating Zhou Tingting's case was able to get rid of it. There must be Liu Sui's footprints on the side of the weir pond, but the closing report clearly stated that only Zhou Tingting's footprints were alone, so it was judged to have fallen into the water.

This kind of mistake is a shame to all the police in Shouquan Town.

The Chen case must be investigated, but now there is a lot of fog on Qiyue Mountain, the murderer of one case has been arrested, and the other case has not yet been investigated. The investigation of the Shouquan Town Police Station can only be temporarily postponed.

When Ming Shu came to Shouquan Town again, he obviously felt that the atmosphere here was different from before. The arrogant and uncooperative police had been transferred away, and the newly transferred police officers were very diligent to assist in the investigation.

In addition to Chu Xin and other five monks in the police registration data, there are also Chang Qingying, Chu Jiang, Hu Chengyi, and Wang Lu. These four people have left Haijing Temple successively in the past three years, all because of their "wandering" outings.

According to the old saying, "Wandering" means that the whole world is home. It is not easy to find the monks of "Wandering".

But now that the police have their accurate personal information, it is not difficult to locate them through traffic and consumption searches.

But the problem arises at this moment.

After investigation, it turned out that only the oldest Hu Chengyi is currently pensioning in the Hanshu Village under the jurisdiction of Dongye City, and the traces of the other three are unknown.

"Why is it missing again?" Fang Yuanhang lost his hair. "Gui Chen said retreat, but the people were not in Haijing Temple early in the morning; these three people said'Wandering', and they disappeared while swimming? I understand, there are no three people, this is not normal!"

Chang Qingying, 47 years old this year, is a native of Los Angeles. He used to be a corporate white-collar worker. He became a monk at Haijing Temple five years ago and left in December last year.

Chu Jiang, 55, from Fengxiang Town, Dongye City, was a dairy farm worker. He came to Haijing Temple six years ago and left last summer.

Wang Lu, 36 years old, is a native of Shouquan Town, unemployed. Like Chu Jiang, he became a monk six years ago and went down the mountain this spring.

Luocheng and Fengxiang Town are adjacent to Shouquan Town, and it is not surprising that they chose Haijing Temple.

Ming Shu looked at the information of these three people and asked Fang Yuanhang a moment later: "You know the monks better than I do. They are going down the mountain now, like on TV, without money, and for alms along the way?"

"No." Fang Yuanhang shook his head, "Master, don't think of serious monks so primitively. They have ID cards and bank cards, and at least they have passbooks without bank cards. They can also take the high-speed train by plane, and the young ones also use mobile phones. Pay, not the kind of knock on the door on TV."

Ming Shu said: "So at least, for this year and a half, they should keep a record of withdrawals."

"That's right!" Fang Yuanhang said: "Chu Jiang, the first to descend the mountain, has been'wandering' for more than a year, but we can't find any news about him. This is impossible, unless he is already dead."

Ming Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at Fang Yuanhang.

Fang Yuanhang was taken aback, "Am I saying the wrong thing?"

Ming Shu shook his head, "If you think about the possibility of missing, it is really possible that Chu Jiang is dead. Moreover, he died immediately after leaving Haijing Temple."

A cold sweat broke out on Fang Yuanhang's back, "What's the reason? First is Chu Jiang, now it's the turn of Gye Chen?"

"I don't know." Ming Shu said, "But don't forget what Tang Yuan and others said, the monks in Haijing Temple have no good people. Maybe they all left for a certain purpose."

Fang Yuanhang thought for a while, "I understand. It seems that I can only check from their background to see why they came to Haijing Temple to become a monk. Maybe they have something in common with Fang Pingxu and Chuxin."

"Good luck." Ming Shu smiled, his eyes rested on Hu Chengyi's photo.

Among the registered monks, only this Hu Chengyi has confirmed his deeds, and he left Haijing Temple much earlier than the other three, and he had returned to the countryside three years ago.

A lot of monks have been vulgar in practicing Buddha for a few years, but most of them are young and middle-aged. Few old people have been out of their homes for most of their lives and suddenly returned home.

Moreover, according to other people in Haijing Temple, Hu Chengyi did not say that he had returned to the vulgar when he left. The reason was the same as that of the other three. It was also "wandering".

Why didn't I swim, so I went back to the country?

"Hu Chengyi may know something." Ming Shu said, "I'm going to Hanshu Village."

Fang Yuanhang wanted to follow, but was ordered by Ming Shu to stay in the bureau and continue to interrogate Fang Pingxu and others.

Chu Jiang called "Wu Fei" in Haijing Temple, so Chu Xin and others also called him "Wu Fei".

"Wu Fei didn't say goodbye to me, he is not familiar with me, why did he make a special trip to say goodbye to me?" Chu Xin smiled: "I still said that. It happened to be a monk in the same monastery. There is no need to look at each other too much. important."

Fang Yuanhang asked: "Then how can you be sure that Wu Fei has gone'Wandering'?"

"Otherwise, what else can I do?" Chu Xin said, "Go down to whoring?"

"You can't be more serious?" Fang Yuanhang almost lost his temper. "Wu Fei didn't tell you that his purpose of going down the mountain was to'wander around'? You didn't watch him leave Haijing Temple?"

Chu Xin deliberately straightened his back, "No, maybe I was sleeping when he left?"

Fang Yuanhang asked: "Then when I asked you for the first time, he told me with certainty that Wu Fei was going to'wander around'. This shows that you already have such an understanding in your mind!"

Chu Xin smiled, "The little straight guy is starting to analyze my place again."

With that, Chu Xin pointed to his head.

Fang Yuanhang finally calmed down and was no longer affected by Chu Xin's fancy words, "Who told you that Wu Fei went to'wander around'?"

"Do you doubt this person?" Chu Xin put on a thinking posture, but no one knew whether he was really thinking.

After a few seconds, he said, "I seem to have heard about it from Wu Shi."

Fang Yuanhang asked again: "Where are Wu Hong (Chang Qingying) and Wu Suo (Wang Lu)? What were you doing when they left Haijing Temple?"

"I don't know either." Chu Xin said indifferently: "I always listen to others saying that they went down the mountain to'wander around'."

Fang Yuanhang asked Liu Sui, Tang Yuan, Fang Pingxu, and Yin Xiaofeng again, and found an amazing fact-among them, none of them saw Chu Jiang, Chang Qingying, and Wang Lu leave with their own eyes, nor did they hear them. When they said they were going to "wander around", they all learned from "others".

And the source of the news can only be traced back to Master Xiaochen.

Fang Yuanhang thought the more things went wrong.

Haijing Temple is not big, with a door in the front yard and a door in the back yard. The monks usually enter and go through the front door. In the same monastery, even if the relationship is poor, one or two sentences should be said. If the three of Chu Jiang really go down the mountain to "wander around", they will have to make some preparations beforehand. Just tell Master Xiaochen. And they must pass by the front yard when they left, and have not been seen by Chu Xin and others three times?

Do they avoid everyone and leave at night?

But why do you want to do this?

Going down the mountain is not a shameful thing. Is there any reason to rush down the mountain at night or from the small door in the backyard?

Only Jiechen knew, and Jiechen was also missing now.

Fang Yuanhang suddenly jumped up from his chair and immediately called Ming Shu.

Winter Ye City, Cold and Summer Village.

Different villages have different styles. Because of the investigation, Mingshu has been to countless villages. Hanshu Village is one of the best built. Every household is a small bungalow. There are no chimneys in the village, and there is no smell of coal everywhere in the village. They are all connected to natural gas, and home appliances are readily available.

Pushing forward for seven or eight years, Hanshu Village is still not like this. Later, there was a flood of cement and rocks, and the entire village's earthen houses were completely abandoned. The government ordered a re-planning to turn Hanshu Village into a small tourist village.

Ninety percent of the villagers now operate farmhouses, and Hu Chengyi, a vulgar monk, is one of the few exceptions. He lives alone in a house allocated in the village, grows some vegetables in his yard, and lives a life close to isolation.

Ming Shu explained his intentions, and Hu Chengyi sighed slowly.

"Why were you still a vulgar back then?" Ming Shu said, "I heard from the monk at Haijing Temple that before you left, you said you were going to'wander around'?"

"That's what I said." Hu Chengyi said: "Because I really can't find a suitable reason."

Ming Shu asked: "Then what is the real reason you left Haijing Temple?"

For a long time, Hu Chengyi looked at the clouds in the sky and said, "I think the abbot looks like a different person."
