Madness of the Heart

Haizhou City.

"Are you looking for Cao Zhiya?" A fat woman in her forties stretched her neck, her smooth face almost stuck to Yi Fei's, "I want to find her too! Why, this woman is committing a crime outside. Is it?"

The fat woman is the owner and manager of "Jinxi Club". Although this place is called the "guild hall", it is actually an ordinary footwashing city, and you can spend 100 yuan in it for a day.

Cao Zhiya did not have a decent diploma. After coming to Haizhou from Hehe County, she changed several jobs and finally worked here as a waiter.

Yi Fei asked: "Cao Zhiya didn't say hello to you before leaving you?"

"What's your greeting!" The fat woman snorted dissatisfiedly. "She lives in the staff dormitory and wears work clothes. Suddenly, people disappeared. She didn't pay a penny for food, utilities, and electricity that month !"

"Then before leaving, did Cao Zhiya act abnormally?" Yi Fei asked again.

The fat woman couldn't answer, so she called Chen Hongjiao, the waiter who was living in the same room with Cao Zhiya at the time, and said, "You tell the policeman what happened to Cao Zhiya. If the police can help us find people back, Let Cao Zhiya pay for your clothes!"

Chen Hongjiao shook her head awkwardly, "A piece of torn clothes, you can't pay for anything."

Yi Fei said, "Cao Zhiya borrowed your clothes?"

"Yeah." Chen Hongjiao is honest and introverted, unlike a fat woman who can say.

According to her, Cao Zhiya has a brain and is the fastest responder among all the waiters. She will also say that she is very popular with customers. I did a good job, but for a while I often lost my mind. I made several small mistakes one after another and was deducted a hundred dollars.

What kind of work is there without any mistakes? The less skilled the job, the easier it is to make a small difference. Everyone didn't take it seriously. But Chen Hongjiao is Cao Zhiya's roommate. She slept several times until midnight, and when she woke up, she heard Cao Zhiya sigh frequently.

Chen Hongjiao asked Cao Zhiya if something was wrong with her family. Cao Zhiya said that her only relative had passed away and that there was no home, so she exposed the problem.

Then one day, after Chen Hongjiao got off work, she went back to the dormitory and saw Cao Zhiya packing her luggage.

Cao Zhiya was taking turns that day and the next day, and Chen Hongjiao thought about where she was going to do something.

At that time, the temperature was not high, and Cao Zhiya went to the balcony to collect the thick coat she washed a few days ago, and found that it was not dry.

Chen Hongjiao took the initiative and said, "You don't have any other coats? Wear mine."

Cao Zhiya thanked him, and pointed to the thick coat that was drying, "Sister Hongjiao, then you wear mine."

Chen Hongjiao didn't understand what this meant, until a week later, Cao Zhiya hadn't come back.

It's too common in Haizhou that a migrant girl suddenly disappears from work. Although a fat woman is talking about what Cao Zhiya owes her, she doesn't really call the police because of this.

Chen Hongjiao sighed, and said to Yi Fei a little nervously, "I think Zhiya has encountered something bad."

Yi Fei thought for a while, and asked, "Before Cao Zhiya left, did you mention a person named'Liang Xiaojun' to you?"

Chen Hongjiao said affirmatively: "She said'Xiaojun' several times. Although she didn't say it clearly, but I listened to her, she should like this person."

Yi Fei said, "Where are the others? Have you seen anyone looking for her?"

Chen Hongjiao frowned, "I can't answer that. In a place like ours, there are too many people who come and go in one day. Even if someone comes to her, I don't know."

Yi Fei walked around in the "Jinxi Hall" and went to the staff dormitory to take a look.

Two years have passed since the incident, and the monitoring records have long been deleted. It is no longer possible to find out who Cao Zhiya met and where he last appeared.

But is Cao Zhiya's disappearance really related to Liang Xiaojun's death?

Furthermore, is it related to Yin Zhen's death and He Yang's disappearance now?

Cao Zhiya is avenging her beloved one?

How did she do it? Does she have this ability?

Yi Fei returned to the car and thought with his eyes closed.

He does not discriminate against women and lower-level workers, but objectively speaking, it is impossible for an ordinary person to lay out such a general situation of revenge. Even if Cao Zhiya is the smartest waiter in the entire "Jinxi Hall", he may not be able to do it.

But the time of Cao Zhiya's disappearance was so coincidental, and her behavior before her disappearance was different, especially when she was lost at work and sighed in the middle of the night.

She might know that Liang Xiaojun was killed.

But how did she know?

Among the traces captured by Zhou Yuan and other technical team members, Liang Xiaojun just told Cao Zhiya that he was going to make a lot of money, and did not say what he was doing. Although there is a possibility, Liang Xiaojun said, but the technical team has not caught it yet.

But this possibility is actually minimal. Liang Xiaojun's personality does not allow him to tell Cao Zhiya the truth. More importantly, Zhou Shan will not allow this to happen.

That being the case, how did Cao Zhiya know that Liang Xiaojun was in an accident?

"Someone told her." Ming Shu held the phone in one hand and put the other in the pocket of his police pants.

Yi Fei pressed his temple, "Why does this man do this? Pull her to join? Or is there something else? Wait a minute, if this is the case, the Avengers are someone else. The problem is that Cao Zhiya is currently the only one half locked in. People."

"La Cao Zhiya join..." Ming Shu thought quickly, his eyes suddenly changed, "Using Cao Zhiya, using Cao Zhiya as a smoke bomb!"

Yi Fei said: "He anticipates that the police will think of the line of revenge in the future, so he throws a clue to mislead the police?"

Ming Shu immediately opened his notebook and wrote a picture while saying: "A person who disappears for no reason is most likely to attract the attention of the police. Cao Zhiya and Liang Xiaojun have an unusual relationship, and Cao Zhiya is missing. The police must think that Cao Zhiya is missing. Maybe revenge for Liang Xiaojun. In this way, Cao Zhiya becomes a shield. As long as we don't find Cao Zhiya, that person can continue to hide behind this shield."

Yi Fei said, "Isn't it possible that Cao Zhiya has been killed? Only the dead will be'missing' for a long time."

Ming Shu wrote down and said for a while: "The question you just asked-Cao Zhiya is currently the only person we are half locked. If Cao Zhiya is just a shield, then the'third party' was as early as He Yang's fourth game. It was already there before it started."

When a possibility is denied, many new possibilities are born, thinking is intertwined, and the case becomes more complicated.

Yi Fei can't help feeling a headache, "But if the'third party' had appeared long ago, where is the intersection between Yin Zhen and He Yang?"

Ming Shu squinted his eyes, "Jiang Xiyang and Yue Shuqing, I might not put them temporarily."

The Interrogation Room of the Crime Squad, Dongye City.

Zhou Shan looked surprised, and was silent for half a minute.

Two things surprised him. One was Xiao Yuan sitting in front of him this time—he didn't expect that Xiao Yuan would come to interrogate him in person; the other was the question Xiao Yuan asked just now: Did He Yang participate in Yin Zhen’s planning Slaughter game.

"This... this is impossible." Zhou Shan shook his head, "Mr. He has never participated."

"Why are you so sure?" Xiao Yuan said: "In terms of the massacre game, Yin Zhen is considered He Yang's predecessor. Since He Yang invited her to be the audience, couldn't she invite He Yang to be the audience earlier? ?"

Zhou Shan frowned, "But..."

Xiao Yuan said, "But what? But you don't even know?"

Zhou Shan licked the corner of his lower lips blankly, "If there is such a thing, Mr. He will definitely tell me."

"Then take you, you guys go and watch it together?" Xiao Yuan said: "But what if Yin Zhen only invited He Yang?"

Zhou Shan's eyelids were very open.

"You participated in all the six killings led by He Yang because He Yang needed you." Xiao Yuan said: "But watching the slaughter led by others, you are not present, maybe there is not much difference to He Yang? "

There were grievances, unbelief, and even anger on Zhou Shan's face.

Xiao Yuan said, "You don't know He Yang's whereabouts all the time, do you?"

Zhou Shan nodded slowly and said in a low voice: "I...I'm just his secretary."

Ming Shu waited for Xiao Yuan outside the interrogation room. As soon as the door opened, he rushed up, "Xiao Ju."

Xiao Yuan raised his hand, "Go to the cafeteria first."

The meal was over immediately, and there was no good food or meat left. Ming Shu had to trouble the chef with two bowls of egg fried rice.

"Maybe we should focus on Yin Zhen." Xiao Yuan said: "I will make an assumption-before He Yang's fourth game, Yin Zhen planned a game and invited many people including He Yang. Audience. Then the victims of this game are very critical."

Ming Shu said: "The games are all played abroad. Country E is their'home court'. Now Yin Zhen is dead. She probably processed all the video and other evidence before going to Sifeng County last year. He Yang There is also a secretary, Yin Zhenlian..."

Speaking of this, Ming Shu suddenly stopped.

"Yin Zhen doesn't even have an assistant?" Xiao Yuan shook his head. "She can't do this alone, but her assistant doesn't always follow He Yang like Zhou Shan."

Mingshu reacted quickly, "This person is not in the country. Yin Zhen is'clean' in the country. She will'raise' her evil side in Country E?"

"Country E may have her team." Xiao Yuan said, "There is another point. Now neither the Los Angeles police nor the Xucheng police have found the relevant video. But from Yin Zhen's perspective, she can't transfer the video. Completely destroyed. Those are her "wealth" and "prudence", she will not destroy her own "work"."

"The clue lies in Country E..." Mingshu's eyes were bright, "I will go to Country E."

The egg fried rice came out of the pot, and Xiao Yuan brought the two bowls together.

The chef is very considerate, and he also heated a large bowl of lotus root and rib soup.

"One more thing." Xiao Yuan said: "In the past few days you have been running across the country, I have reviewed Lai Xiuliang's case. Before and after his accident, He Yang happened to be in Dongye City. We also discussed before, whether Lai Xiuliang is right? A bug in another sense?"

Mingshu was so hungry that he drank the soup with a large spoon.

"At that time, Team Liang had not brought Zhou Shan back, and now with Zhou Shan's retelling, I think that Lai Xiuliang was also regarded as a bug." Xiao Yuan said: "And it is a bug made deliberately by a'third party'."

Ming Shu put down the spoon and said, "'I discovered a more interesting game recently'. Is Lai Xiuliang a gift from a'third party' to He Yang, or bait?"

Xiao Yuan nodded, "This can explain a lot of the sense of division in Lai Xiuliang's case, and it can also explain why Lai Xiuliang was taken away easily."

Recall it carefully-Lai Xiuliang died on the pebble beach outside his community. The murder weapon was the iron gate that caused the conflict between the rich and the poor in the entire community. At first, the police believed that the murderer had hatred for the rich and deliberately retaliated. A wealthy owner in the southern district. But after investigation, this possibility was ruled out. The new idea is that the murderer is an employee who was once humiliated by Lai Xiuliang. In order to hide himself, he deliberately created the illusion of hatred for the rich. But to construct such a scene is difficult, and the possibility of exposure is not small, and a sense of logical division appears. And after investigation, motivated people have been ruled out of committing crimes.

The case is so hanging.

Ming Shu said: "If this is the case, then Lai Xiuliang would have died too unjustly."

Xiao Yuan said: "All the victims killed as insects, which one is not wronged?"

Ming Shu sighed, "This is true."

"I think it's not just Lai Xiuliang." Xiao Yuan said again: "He Yang is not so easy to be deceived. The'third party' should have other means."

Around the Spring Festival, celebrities rushed to show their faces on various shows. The little star that Yu Dalong brought with him was promising, and he followed suit. Not only did he make a fortune, but he also overcame the addiction of flying around the country. The scope of his activities was no longer limited to those shopping malls in Dongye City.

After the beginning of the spring, Yu Dalong was promoted and a few more artists were stuffed. However, the upper management did not just squeeze him and did not benefit him. When setting up his work tasks, he also arranged an assistant for him.

With an assistant, Yu Dalong finally relaxed, Chunnuanhuahua gave himself a vacation, thinking of Fang Yuanhang and the male **** Mingshu who hadn't been in contact for a long time, and suddenly wanted to ask them out to have a fun.

Of course, all expenses are borne by Brother Long.

The male **** didn’t dare to make an appointment directly. Yu Dalong called Fang Yuanhang. He didn’t expect that Fang Yuanhang would hang him up directly. After a few hours, he called him, explaining that the crime team encountered another tricky case and couldn’t get it right now. You can't go anywhere without time.

Yu Dalong is a reasonable person, comforting and encouraging Fang Yuanhang, planning to find a place to have fun.

He didn’t want to go to other places. He had visited all the interesting places in and around the city. He asked his assistant, and the assistant said, “Brother Long, do you know the ‘Ninth Battlefield’ in Dongcheng District?”

Called "Brother Long", Yu Dalong said in his heart, "'Ninth Battlefield'? Is it fun?"

The assistant nodded, "It's not fun, but it's pretty internal."

Yu Dalong didn't fully understand, "What's in it? It's not fun, you still Amway me?"

"No, that place can't be described as fun or not fun." The assistant said, "Anyway, it's very special. You will know it when you go."

Yu Dalong has been to many secret rooms. During the Spring Festival, the stars he took also participated in the secret room games on TV. After thinking about it, he said, "Scary? Exciting?"

"Both." The assistant said: "It's not the same as'Storm'. Well, I don't describe it well, you have to feel it yourself. Don't you have a police friend? Call it together. The police are all righteous and can suppress Suppress evil."

Yu Dalong was amused, and decided to go there first. If the "Ninth Battlefield" is really so "evil", when Fang's voyage is free in the future, he will ask the policeman to suppress the evil.

There are a total of 12 themes in "The Ninth Battlefield". Yu Dalong has time. After buying a coupon, theoretically speaking, each theme can be experienced. However, most people will play at most two or three and will not continue to play. .

Yu Dalong paid careful attention to the matter and picked a high-restricted secret room. As soon as he entered, he felt a sense of discomfort.

The cramped promenade, the flickering light, the weird music that appears from time to time, and the props that are indistinguishable from the real corpse at first glance.

Yu Dalong swallowed and quietly encouraged himself.

This kind of opening made him have to play a twelve-point spirit, ready for the sudden appearance of ghosts.

However, he did not encounter any ghosts until he left the secret room.

He was sitting on the bench in the rest area, holding a cup of hot milk tea that he had just bought, but he didn't drink a bite, and his mind was empty for a moment.

He understood the feeling the assistant said.

Many secret rooms are irritating, and people scream like crazy inside. This scream can actually be regarded as catharsis.

The secret room here is quite the opposite. Walking inside, there will be no screaming emotions at all, but feel particularly depressed and unable to scream.

Yu Dalong recalled what he saw in the secret room—the slaughter was not the slaughter of ghosts against people, but the slaughter of people against people.

The slaughter and the slaughtered had exactly the same faces. The victim was alive and kicked, and his head was smashed with brain splashes. All the scenes were extraordinarily real, with the plot as a guide. When you were in it, you seemed to be this one. Participants or victims of the massacre.

But the cruel act of slaughter itself is rendered works of art by flowers and lights, which seems to be beautified and deified.

Yu Dalong felt very uncomfortable. He was particularly impressed by a scene: in a desolate graveyard, a baby's body has not yet decayed. At night, a group of naive children found the baby while hiding and seeking. They used firecrackers to make him a cradle, and the firecrackers exploded. The baby really shook.

Yu Dalong shook his head, gave up his plan to go to the next secret room, and left in a hurry.

"What the hell!" He said to himself: "Don't be an anti-social pervert designer!"

The focus of the investigation shifted from He Yang to Yin Zhen.

Interpol has many difficulties when going abroad to investigate cases. Mingshu is preparing to go to Country E, and suddenly receives a call from the capital.

"Xiao Ming." Liu Zhiqin said, "It's me."

Although Ming Shu and Liu Zhiqin didn't deal with it, they also knew that the other party was calling at this time, absolutely not for meddling, and said seriously, "Ms. Liu, have you found out?"

"Yeah. Regarding the two victims of Jiang Xiyang and Yue Shuqing." Liu Zhiqin said: "He Yang returned to China three years ago. Before he returned to China, in March of that year, Jiang Xiyang and Yue Shuqing were not in the country and went abroad The record shows that Jiang Xiyang is in country F and Yue Shuqing is in country N. But the clue I got when I invaded the underground black market of country E is that they are all in country E."
