Madness of the Heart

In modern criminal investigations, actual evidence is far more important than oral confession. When Niu Tianlan passively responded to the police interrogation, the technical team members had already mastered the key physical evidence including the murder weapon.

Niu Tianlan's home not only has a lot of blood stains in the locked room, but also in the kitchen. It's just that the blood in the kitchen is not as obvious as in the living room, and the floor has been cleaned with disinfectant in the funeral home, and there is no blood reaction even in the cracks on the floor.

This disinfectant was also used at the scene where Meng Shan was killed.

Niu Tianlan has used disinfectant in the kitchen, and judging from the remaining conditions, the use time will not exceed four months, and Wen Xi disappeared in September, just within this time.

Could she be killed by Niu Tianlan here?

Holding this inference, Xiao Man searched every inch and corner of the kitchen, and finally found blood stains in a small finger-wide groove below the sink facing the ground.

After comparison, it was confirmed to belong to Wen Xi.

Serious crime team, interrogation room.

After repeated interrogations, Niu Tianlan's initial arrogance no longer exists. Ming Shu pulled away the opposite chair, but did not speak immediately after sitting down, but stared coldly at Niu Tianlan's face.

Ten minutes later, Niu Tianlan said weakly, "What do you want to ask me again?"

"Let's chat today." Ming Shu said, "Don't you like to talk about cases? Okay, don't talk about cases, but talk about you and your sister Niu Lanlan."

Niu Tianlan's back swelled suddenly, and his neck was obviously stiff.

"I've seen your grades when you were in school. Since childhood, your grades have been better than that of your sister, not just a little better, but much better." Ming Shu spoke with a relaxed tone, as if he were really chatting, "When I was 18 years old, You take the college entrance examination. In fact, based on your scores at the time, you can apply to better schools, such as the universities in Los Angeles, the provincial capital of Han Province, but you finally chose Xicheng University of Technology."

Niu Tianlan pressed the corners of his lips slightly-this seemed to be his habitual movement when he felt unpleasant.

"Is it because your sister's grades can only apply to Xicheng University for Nationalities?" Ming Shu said, "Do you want to stay in the same city with her and have a care for each other?"

"No, no..." Niu Tianlan shook his head, eyes indignant.

Ming Shu said: "Don't you want to take care of each other?"

"Her grades are not limited to the National University of Xicheng." As if being poked into a certain pain in his heart, Niu Tianlan squeezed her hands on the table. "Los Angeles also has a university that suits her, but she thinks about the provincial capital competition. It is under great pressure, and it is forced to fill the river with a large ethnic group."

"So you can only give up Los Angeles and choose Brooks?"

"Since childhood... she is like this!"

Ming Shu asked: "What is it?"

"Self-centered, selfish, the whole world has to revolve around her!" Niu Tianlan's voice gradually trembled, "I must take care of her and give her all the good things. I will do everything she wants. Done!"

Fang Yuanhang looked at the surveillance outside, raised an eyebrow, "Hi, this is different from what I imagined."

Ming Shu saw that Niu Tianlan had already entered his emotions, so he did not interrupt.

"In our house, she is a princess, and I am like a burden picked up by my parents." Niu Tianlan smiled bitterly, "We are obviously twins, but because she is a daughter and I am a son, I must let her and spoil her. Her. My parents said that the daughter should be rich, and the son should endure hardship. Our family is not rich, and they give her all the good things, so I can only pick up what is left of her."

Ming Shu said: "Some families prefer boys over girls, but your family prefers girls over boys?"

Niu Tianlan's shoulders shook twice, as if smiling, but the corners of her lips didn't smile. "I don't know when I was used to taking care of her, maybe since my parents were gone. Xicheng With Los Angeles in the two directions of Han Province, she reported to Xicheng National University. If I go to the university in Los Angeles, there is no way to take care of her. I can only apply for the best university in Xicheng, which is Xicheng Polytechnic. Big."

Ming Shu paused for a few seconds, "Then after joining the student union in the freshman year, you met Zhao Wen."

Hearing this name, Niu Tianlan's expression almost solidified.

"You have long understood that you like men." Ming Shu said: "Before the college entrance examination, you can only suppress yourself, and when you go to college, you meet someone who makes you fall in love at first sight, and you decide to face yourself calmly."

Niu Tianlan's face gradually paled, and he shook his head slightly, "I, I..."

"But Zhao Wen rejected you. After meeting your sister Niu Lanlan, he developed a relationship with her." Ming Shu said, "You..."

"What are you talking about?" Niu Tianlan interrupted excitedly, "Not at all!"

Ming Shu followed: "No? What is the fact?"

"Brother Wen, he didn't refuse me!" Niu Tianlan clasped his fingers tightly on the interrogation table, and the joints were white as if they were about to be pierced. "He is my boyfriend! We have been together! It was Niu Lanlan who grabbed him from me gone!"

Fang Yuanhang whispered: "I... rely on..."

Ming Shu's tone remained unchanged, "You mean that Zhao Wen likes both men and women. He originally chose you, but later abandoned you because of Niu Lanlan? Niu Lanlan is the third person in your relationship. ?"

"She forced me! She forced me!" Niu Tianlan hugged her head in pain, tears bursting into her eyes, "She knows that Brother Wen loves me, but she wants to take Brother Wen away from me..."

19 years old

"You've been petting me since I was a kid. Wouldn't it be okay to pet me again?" Niu Lanlan was wearing the dress she just bought, with a pretty demeanor, "You are all men. What future can two men have together?"

"Impossible! I can rely on you for everything else, but this is not the case!" Niu Tianlan has never said anything hard to Niu Lanlan. This is the first time, "Lanlan, you and Wen Ge have only met twice. I’m not familiar at all. Don’t be stupid, I like Brother Wen, and he likes me too. We all like men!"

"Are you sure?" Niu Lanlan said with a smile: "You are the only one who likes men? Because you are a junior, Wen Ge is different from you."

Niu Tianlan was surprised: "What do you mean?"

"Do I have to clarify? Well, Tianlan, don't be sad after you hear it. I heard that only a small 0-like you-like a man with all my heart, but Wen is 1, he is not I can only like men." Niu Lanlan dialed her skirt, chin up to look at Niu Tianlan, "We already..."

In the latter words, Niu Lanlan said in Niu Tianlan's ear.

Niu Tian seemed to be struck by a thunder, "You lied! Impossible!"

Niu Lanlan said: "It's impossible, you just ask Brother Wen to know?"

"Sorry, Tianlan." Zhao Wen smiled awkwardly, "You are fine, but you are a man after all. Even if we are together now, graduated in the future, and stepped into society, what should we do? Society will not accept us. And my family will not accept you."

Tears fell from Niu Tianlan's eyes, and he kept shaking his head, "Brother Wen, but you said you liked me!"

"I also like you now." Zhao Wen calmly said: "But Tianlan, you are not a woman, please understand my difficulties. You are very similar to Lanlan. I am with your sister, aren't we also family members? Love cannot last long, but if I stay with your sister, we can be family for a long time."

The interrogation room was full of sobbing, and Ming Shu said: "So you gave Zhao Wen to Niu Lanlan? But you never let go of Zhao Wen?"

Niu Tianlan nodded solemnly.

After half a minute, Ming Shu said: "You haven't finished talking."

Niu Tianlan whirled tearfully, "What?"

"Zhao Wen said too much to you. It is because of this sentence that you can't let it go." Ming Shu's eyes were sharp, "He has evaluated your looks, especially your lips."

Niu Tianlan's eyes widened, and there was anger inside.

Ming Shu lowered his voice, "answer me."

20 years old--

Unable to believe that his first love ended rashly in this way, Niu Tianlan neither accepted Zhao Wen's apology, nor was he willing to meet with Niu Lanlan again. He realized that he had fallen into a quagmire, but couldn't get out no matter what, and there was no one to help him. He can no longer concentrate on his studies, and the only thing he can't shake every day is to follow Zhao Wen.

And Zhao Wen and Niu Lanlan have become public lovers.

"I think you are my only relative, and I don't want to expose you." Niu Lanlan finally tore off the pure disguise, "If you harass us like this, I will tell your student union, tell your classmates and your teacher! "

Niu Tianlan was not afraid of Niu Lanlan's threat, but Zhao Wen's words made him throw away his helmet and armor.

"You ask me why I chose Lanlan instead of you." When saying this, Zhao Wen's tone was even gentle, "Because Lanlan is a woman, a woman has beauty that you can never have. Sky blue, you don't have it. Did you find out? Although you and Lan Lan are twins, she is much more beautiful than you. Her M-shaped lips are plump and soft, and your...Oh, sky blue, you should look in the mirror."

Niu Tianlan wanted to get up from the interrogation chair, but his body was stuck. He wiped his tears and said to himself: "They ruined me..."

Ming Shu changed his listening attitude just now, "You killed those innocent women because you envied their M-shaped lips similar to Niu Lanlan."

Niu Tianlan pulled away from the memory abruptly, and the gloomy expression spread quickly on his face.

Fang Yuanhang pressed **** his forehead, and muttered: "The victim may never think that he will be targeted by murderers for some absurd reasons."

"So what!" Niu Tianlan grinned, like an enraged wolf, "Women are the most disgusting thing in this world!"

The recorder was a woman, and her face became very ugly.

"They have a human appearance, and there is no difference between their hearts and livestock!" Niu Tianlan almost lost control, slapped her hands on the table constantly, "Do you know how cheap Tang Qian is? She is a woman herself, but she despises women more than anyone else! When I was in the bar, I was wearing women’s clothes, and she dismissed me. Later, I let her hear my voice. When she learned that I was a man, she immediately became a begging dog! Stick to me, beg me , I scolded her for being cheap, guess how she answered? She said that in front of men, women should be cheap!"

The recorder said: "Pay attention to your words."

Ming Shu whispered to the recorder: "Sorry, let you hear this. You take a break, change to Fang Yuanhang or Xu Chun to come in."

"Am I wrong?" Niu Tianlan sneered. "Meng Shan is not a good person. Her father is gone. I asked her to buy a paper firework for her father. She was unwilling and lost control on the spot. That's how women are. At every turn, I get emotional breakdown and die ugly."

"And Wen Xi, hahaha, she is dead too!" Niu Tianlan said: "That's also a mean woman, like Tang Qian, she thinks men are superior. Isn't this the best? I will kill them, eat them, It is their honor!"

Ming Shu was not surprised that Wen Xi had been killed. The bloodstains in the kitchen are evidence of crime. "You asked Tang Qian to go to Fengsheng Town in person and suggested that she quit her job. On October 26, you killed him on the wasteland behind Zhou Changyou's house. Tang Qian, you chose Fengsheng Town because you have been there before and you are familiar with it. What about Wen Xi? Where did you hide her?"

Niu Tianlan was taken aback for a while, and laughed out of his throat, "I burned her. You will never find her again."

"How is this possible?" Fang Yuanhang had already sat down in the interrogation room, "Where is it burned? Funeral home?"

"It's easy." Niu Tianlan raised his right hand and made a slashing motion. "I chopped her into pieces and brought one piece to work every day. Throw it in the stove, and it would be a pile of ashes. Those family members are so stupid, who can tell who is whose ashes?"

Ming Shu said, "That's how you disposed of Wen Xi's body?"

Niu Tianlan suddenly muttered: "I can take advantage of the funeral home management loopholes, maybe others will take advantage of it. Maybe... Maybe it's not just me who kills? Those incinerators are not forbidden at all."

Fang Yuanhang suddenly felt chill from the tail vertebra.

Niu Tianlan is an extremely perverted murderer. It is hard not to make people think about this sentence just now.

"West Moon" funeral home management standards, there is a complete set of staff rules. Where manageable, no matter how standardized, it is inevitable that there are loopholes, loopholes can be exploited by one person, and can be exploited by another person.

Is Niu Tianlan the only murderer hiding in the "Xiyue" funeral home?

For those missing cases that have not been detected, have the victims turned into ashes in the funeral home?

"Thank you for your reminder." Ming Shu said: "The funeral home was set aside in advance, or you. The first time you committed the crime was in September this year, and the victim was Wen Xi?"

Niu Tianlan nodded.

Ming Shu stared into his eyes, motionless for half a minute.

Niu Tianlan shrugged, "You don't have to look at me like this anymore. I killed three people in total, Wen Xi, at my house, Tang Qian, at Fengsheng Town, Meng Shan, at her house. Nothing else. The three are also death sentences, and more are death sentences. I won’t embarrass you anymore, officer."

Ming Shu said, "What about Niu Lanlan and Zhao Wen?"

Niu Tianlan tightened again, "They committed suicide."

"Why did they commit suicide?"

"I do not know."

Ming Shu said: "Then you should know, why don't you take Niu Lanlan's ashes for burial? Niu Tianlan, I boldly speculate, if something is wrong, you can interrupt me at any time, the set your parents left for you. In the house, only one room is equipped with iron fences, and those iron fences have been installed in the last 2 years. Compared with the living room and the other room, it is eerie and weird. There are blood stains on the walls and bed boards. You don’t To bury Niu Lanlan, instead, put her in such a room, in order to punish her and avenge her, so that she could not be peaceful if she died."

Niu Tianlan laughed loudly: "Aren't you a policeman? The police are also superstitious?"

"Of course I am not superstitious." Ming Shu nodded his chest. "What I said is your inner thoughts."

Niu Tianlan frowned and did not speak.

Ming Shu said again: "Where did you find out about this witchcraft?"

Niu Tianlan still did not answer.

"The deaths of Niu Lanlan and Zhao Wen are related to the sorcery you came into contact with?"

"They committed suicide." Niu Tianlan insisted, "The police have investigated it clearly and it has nothing to do with me."

When Ming Shu came out of the interrogation room, it was already 5 o'clock in the morning.

Niu Tianlan confessed to killing Meng Shan and the other three, and there is sufficient material evidence. There is no clue to prove that there is a fourth victim. The investigation of this series of cases has reached the end.

But the death of Niu Lanlan and Zhao Wen was definitely not simple.

At that time, it was a police station that was responsible for investigating the case. The lack of police force and the lack of abilities made it easy to treat the deaths of the two as suicides. Two years have passed since the body was cremated, and the traces on the scene no longer exist, and it is a case that took place in other provinces. It will be very difficult to investigate further.

Ming Shu leaned against the wall of the corridor to rest for a while, and saw the diagonally opposite door opened.

Xiao Yuan came out from inside.

Ming Shu's frowning brows quietly opened, "Xiao Ju, you are here too."

"Well, I watched the interrogation monitoring for a while." Xiao Yuan approached, "Thank you."

Ming Shu shook his head, "This hard work is nothing. It's a blessing to be able to save people."

Xiao Yuan knew who he was talking about, Wen Ling, the media guy who came home alone late at night.

"By the way, how is she now?" Ming Shu said: "She was so scared that she couldn't stand up."

"I went to the hospital for an examination, cooperated with the investigation, and took a two-day rest." Xiao Yuan said: "Now I have returned to my post."

Ming Shu was surprised, "She... still gets off work early in the morning? Isn't she scared?"

"Fear, but didn't escape, because it was her job. She was doing her job. But now she is not going back alone, and her colleagues take turns to send her until she is transferred to the day after the beginning of the new year." Xiao Yuan was a little bit emotional. "Niu Tianlan's understanding of women is too narrow and extreme. Among them, there are people who blindly'admirate men', but most of them are people like Wen Ling, ordinary but strong."

Ming Shu took a deep breath and twisted his eyebrows. "The case two years ago..."

"Treat them separately." Xiao Yu'an led Ming Shu downstairs. "The case two years ago now seems to be problematic, but the investigation must not combine cases that are not directly related."

Ming Shu nodded, "I see."

Before dawn, it is the coldest time of the day. The SWAT team didn't know what mission was going on, and police cars roared out of the city office.

The police cannot protect everyone in the dark, but they have been doing their best.

On the opposite side of the city bureau, there is a noodle shop that is open all night. The owner is a retired traffic policeman, whose surname is Liu, and his teammates said he was reluctant to cook his noodles. So he set up a shop and opened it for several years.

Many police officers who are busy all night come to eat a bowl of noodles.

"Brother Wang, two servings of beef noodles in threes and twos." Ming Shu said, "Add two fried eggs."

Brother Liu was silent and did not answer, but put two hot soy milk on the table.

It's free, and every policeman who comes late at night has it.

Soon, the hot noodles were cooked, and Ming Shu was halfway through, and finally suppressed the emptiness of the long interrogation. "Brother, did you watch half of the interrogation monitor or did you finish it?"

Xiao Yuan said: "I'm finished. Want to ask my opinion?"

Ming Shu sucked the noodles, "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

"There is no doubt about the three cases committed by Niu Tianlan." Xiao Yu'an put down his chopsticks, "However, I think there are many loopholes in what he described between him and Niu Lanlan and Zhao Wen. He just took advantage of the'dead people can't justify'. ."

Ming Shu said: "Do you think Niu Tianlan made up an ugly story about Niu Lanlan and Zhao Wen?"

"Niu Tianlan's mental state is very like having a delusion." Xiao Yuan said: "People with persecuted delusions will think that they are in a great malice, and everyone around them wants to hurt themselves. In order to stand out. They will impose their imagination on others and believe that the other party really has such vicious thoughts. A small number of victims of delusions will rush to eliminate the dangers they think before they are'harmed' Niu Tianlan himself said that he was in a same-sex relationship with Zhao Wen, and he was smitten by Niu Lanlan, but in fact, no one knew that they had been together, whether it was his classmates or Zhao Wen's classmates."

"All of this is Niu Tianlan's fantasy?" Ming Shu paused, "It is indeed possible."

"Quickly eat." Xiao Yuan said: "You don't care about Niu Lanlan's case for the time being. I will communicate with the provincial police. Niu Lanlan and Zhao Wen did commit suicide, but the motive is not credible here, and Niu Tianlan may be related to cult behavior. Involving cults, it must be treated with caution."

Ming Shu finished the remaining noodles in a few bites, "Then can I take a rest?"

Xiao Yuan smiled warmly, "Go back and get a good night's sleep."

After all, he was a lover who had been together for many years, and Ming Shu could hear a hint of implicit meaning from this uncommon sentence.

"I can only get a good night's sleep?" Ming Shu bit the "Sleep" very hard, "I will come back to work for you immediately after charging up?"

Xiao Yuan said, "Don't worry about it."

"What the **** is it?" Ming Shu remembered when he finished speaking, "Huang Yan's case?"

"Xing Ming team, your eyelids are shaking. When you adjust your condition, we will discuss other cases." Xiao Yuan handed the napkin to Ming Shu, "wipe your mouth."

When I came out of the noodle restaurant, the sky was already dark. The surrounding breakfast shops were smoking and waking up before the whole city.

"I want to buy some steamed buns to go back." Ming Shu said, "Brother, wait for me."

After a quarter of an hour, everyone in the crime team received freshly baked hot-mouthed buns.

At the same moment in Silin Town, far away from Dongye City, Blizzard flew in the air, making a sound like a baby crying.
