32 years ago, Yu Caixin was born into an ordinary family in Yizi City. His parents taught in an elementary school and controlled Yu Caixin in a way that was so severe and ridiculous.
Before entering junior high school, Yu Caixin was excellent in both academics and academics, because she was considered pretty and lovely among the little girls in the class, and she had been a "class flower" for a long time.
But her traditional and old-fashioned parents felt that the attention paid to a girl's appearance was a disgrace to her family. Yu Caixin only needed good grades, but being called "class flower" made them dissatisfied.
At that time, Father Yu happened to be the head teacher of Yu Caixin's class. During the class meeting, Yu's father criticized Yu Caixin in front of the whole class, belittling the word "banhua" as a dirty word, saying that Yu Caixin should be ashamed of being called "banhua".
Strangely, from the beginning to the end, Yu's father only criticized his own daughter, and did not criticize the students who Guan Yu Caixin called "class flowers".
Yu Caixin did not argue and accepted the wrong control of her parents until she entered junior high school.
Junior high school is a critical stage for girls to change their bodies. Yu Caixin began to develop from the first day of the first year, with a taller head, a pointed chin, and a bulging chest, gradually taking on a female silhouette. This made her the center of attention of the boys as soon as school started.
Gradually, people began to call her "class flower" again, and there were even senior boys waiting for her on her way from school.
Yu's father and Yu's mother found out about Yu Caixin's situation in junior high school through teachers and friends. They were deeply panicked and angry. They were afraid that their daughter would focus on her appearance and neglect her studies. " thing.
At that time, there was no requirement for primary and secondary school students to wear school uniforms in Yizi City. The students only had to wear school uniforms when the national flag was raised on Monday, and they usually wore clothes bought at home. Together, Yu's mother and Yu's father locked up all of Yu Caixin's skirts, forcing Yu Caixin to cut her thick long hair into a boy's size, and only allowed Yu Caixin to wear a loose and fat dark T-shirt and jeans to school.
Such a dress is already considered a "freak" in the eyes of junior high school girls who have begun to love beauty.
To make matters worse, Yu Caixin's breasts were developing at that time, and Yu's mother talked about the color change of her breasts, thinking that wearing corsets for teenage children was to encourage them to seduce the opposite sex, and it was "unclean", so she only bought them for Yu Caixin. Vest.
The vest is made of a thin layer of fabric and has no supporting function, nor can it cover the places where the girl does not want outsiders to see.
Yu Caixin without a bra became a joke at school.
Every time she walked, her breasts wobbled. The most terrifying thing is the physical education class. The malevolent boys whistled arrogantly, and the kind girl whispered to her - Caixin, you're showing off.
Teenage girls have skin thinner than paper. Yu Caixin didn't dare to raise his chest any longer, and minimized his presence on various occasions.
In the second year of junior high school, all the girls in the class began to develop, and they all wore corsets inside and beautiful skirts outside. Only Yu Caixin was still shaved, wearing glasses, and wearing a gray T-shirt and denim.
From the "class flower", she became the dirtiest student in the class.
She began to get fat, and pimples appeared on her originally beautiful face, which made her whole person look more and more gray and unpopular.
Some boys have begun to describe her as "disgusting" and "a lump of oil".
Obviously, less than a year ago, she was the most watched girl in the class.
Everyone laughed at her dress, her hairstyle, her figure, her boobs that swayed more because of her fatness.
She lived frugally, bought a corset with the pocket money she saved, and wore it secretly. She was called out of the class by Yu's mother before she wore it for a long time. When she returned to the classroom, her face was full of tears, and the bra had changed back to the vest.
Yizi City is just a small city, and rumors spread very fast.
It didn't take long for this incident to spread out in various versions, and it became the talk of many families after dinner.
Yu Caixin was transferred to the best middle school in Yizi—Yizi No. 2 Middle School. The teacher in charge of students’ mental health told Yu’s father and Yu’s mother—Yu Caixin had been under long-term depression and had serious psychological problems, and suggested to see a psychiatrist , or come here to receive psychological counseling for a period of time.
In those days, let alone in small cities, even in big cities, "psychological problems" was also a new word.
For many people, having a mental problem is the same as having a mental illness.
The third year of junior high school was heavy, but Yu's father immediately refused, thinking that accepting psychological counseling was a waste of time.
"What psychological problem? How can my daughter have a psychological problem! Learning is the first priority! We are all teaching and educating people, don't fool me!"
The second high school enrollment rate is high, correspondingly, the competition among students is also great. Under the multiple pressures of academics, appearance, and parents, Yu Caixin's mental state became worse and worse, and he swallowed a lot of sleeping pills in the second semester of junior high school.
Yu Caixin has once again become the talk of the small city.
After this incident, Yu Caixin's relationship with her parents became more and more tense.
In the high school department of No. 2 Middle School, Yu Caixin chose to live on campus and hardly ever went home.
After being free from her parents' control, she saved food expenses and secretly bought cheap but beautiful clothes. Later, she lost weight and gradually returned to her pre-fat state.
In the first semester of high school, her grades fluctuated a little. Even the class teacher thought it was normal. There was no need to worry, but Yu's father and Yu's mother rushed into her dormitory after the parent-teacher meeting, and rummaged through all the beautiful clothes in her closet. tearing her face apart.
"I knew it! Your grades dropped because of these clothes!" Yu's mother cried and denounced: "Your task now is to study, not to dress up! You are still a student, so what if you dress nicely? Why don't you listen to your father? Mom's words? We're all for your own good!"
The whole dormitory, the girls on the whole floor came to watch the fun, Yu Caixin was stabbed in the shoulder by Yu's mother, and she retreated to the wall step by step...
The drama in junior high school made a comeback, Yu Caixin's efforts were smashed by her parents "for your own good", and she finally became the laughing stock of her classmates again.
In the third year of high school, Yu Caixin was constantly criticized for her appearance. There were stories on campus that her skirt was torn by her own mother. Even the junior high school juniors took her as a joke—
"Yu Caixin is so pitiful, her parents are too strange."
"What kind of clothes is Yu Caixin wearing, why is it so dirty?"
"Yeah, and her hairstyle. In fact, she's not bad, doesn't she know how to take care of herself?"
"I heard from her classmates in junior high school that she doesn't wear a bra."
"Really? How can there be a girl who doesn't wear a bra?"
"Why is she so fat? Too ugly?"
In the college entrance examination, Yu Caixin got out of Yizi City, finally got rid of his parents and made a boyfriend on the new campus.
That was perhaps the easiest four years for Yu Caixin to live.
The boyfriend is from Yizi. After graduation, because the family helped arrange a job, he insisted on returning to Yizi City.
Yu Caixin had to go back to Yizi City together.
Soon, the boyfriend cheated on him. "Little San" is a colleague in the unit, "returnee", very beautiful and very good at dressing up.
In the small city of Yizi, Yu Caixin once again became a joke.
At the age of 24, she left Yizi City and came to Dongye City to work hard, cutting off all contact with her relatives.
"Yu Caixin has always been troubled by her appearance." Xiao Yu'an said: "After coming to Dongye City, she seems to be a different person. The success of her career has made her more and more confident, but the shadows of the past - being oppressed by her parents, being laughed at by her classmates, Being betrayed by her boyfriend, these things have formed a dead knot in her heart, which has never been solved. She has not seen a psychiatrist all these years, and the dead knot is getting more and more entangled. "
"So she can't accept any negative comments about her appearance. Before plastic surgery, she often walked around the Huayun Center just to be recognized by street photography fans, but the only comment she got was 'she's not good-looking'." Ming Shu said Tone, "Yu Caixin doesn't know how much hatred she has suppressed in her heart. Back then, she was unable to take revenge on her parents, classmates, and boyfriend, but now she finally has the ability to take revenge on Chen Quanhan and Luo Xiangfu."
Xiao Yu'an shook his head, "Perhaps it's not just a question of ability. Yu Caixin must not have been as distorted as she is now. At that time, she was just a student, and she didn't step into society, and her hatred had not turned into killing intent. She came to Dongye City for eight years. She has been living alone, never had a boyfriend again, and has neither relatives nor friends around. Yu Caixin seems to be a successful person, but what she has experienced in the past eight years and the burden on her shoulders is only clear to her. Psychological problems have never been cured for a moment."
Mingshu remembered Cao Xiang, "The problem of Xinxiang headhunting company is not small, Yu Caixin and her partner Cao Xiang have been fighting for power."
Xiao Yu'an looked out the window, "Maybe Yu Caixin was at the lowest point when she went to Huayun Center, and the pressure almost broke her down. She hoped to be praised, even if it was only a single word. But that day, all she heard was Chen Quanhan's 'She's not good-looking'. ."
The conversation between Yu Caixin and Zhou Yuan came from the surveillance, Yu Caixin laughed frequently, but the laughter was quite weird.
Mingshu looked at Yu Caixin and felt that this woman was like a gorgeous sculpture that was gradually collapsing from the inside.
"Yu Caixin doesn't have someone she trusts. This is the same as Hou Cheng. She can't let her friends keep the photos for her, and she probably won't keep the photos too far away from her." Xiao Yu'an said: "When she wants to find out and reminisce about Chen , Luo can easily see when he is struggling desperately."
"Her house has been searched." Mingshu said, "How about I go there again?"
"Wait." Xiao Yuan asked: "If it's not at her house, where is it most likely?"
"I..." Mingshu had thought about this question for a long time, but had no clue.
Yu Caixin can hide photos anywhere, as close to the soil in the flower beds of the community, as far as the police can't imagine.
"It's close to her, you can see it if you want to see it, and it's hard for the police to suspect it." Xiao Yuan almost said to himself, "Where would it be..."
Mingshu closed his eyes, the messy clues collided in his head.
He has already checked most of the surveillance footage of Aishui'an Community. Yu Caixin leaves and returns home regularly. He doesn't have any weird behavior in the community. He often goes to the convenience store to buy drinks and cigarettes, or go to the fruit store to buy a bag of fruit. , and sometimes take the courier home.
Express delivery
Mingshu opened his eyes wide.
A trivial matter, like a piece of driftwood, appeared in the corner of his churning mind.
Before going to Los Angeles to trace the clues of the tomb's heart, he ordered a set of kitchen supplies online and sent it to Xiao Yu'an's residence. When the things were sent to Dongye City, he and Xiao Yuan were already in Luocheng, and no one received them for the time being.
It is the property office that collects the courier in the community. Call him and ask him to pick it up as soon as possible. The office will only keep it for a week.
This annoyed him a little.
He often buys online, but almost all of them are sent to his own community, rarely to Xiao Yu'an's residence, and he has never encountered a situation of "only keeping for a week".
The neighborhood where he lived was a convenience store, not a property office. He often travels for business, and he doesn't go home for ten days and a half. He has already agreed with the shopkeepers that the courier will leave it as soon as it arrives. He will pay more for the storage fee and collect it when he returns home.
When a person is regarded as a suspect, the police will search the TA's home, the TA's unit, and even the residence of the TA's relatives and friends, but they will never search the convenience store in the TA's community.
"Brother!" Mingshu said, "I thought of a place."
There are four convenience stores in the Aegean Waterfront Community, all of which provide express collection and delivery services. Mingshu personally led the team to inquire, but the bosses all said that Yu Caixin's express delivery was not stored in his own warehouse.
Yu Caixin's home was searched for the second round, but nothing was found.
"Master." Fang Yuanhang bought a few bottles of water at the convenience store and threw a bottle to Mingshu, "We can only let Yu Caixin confess, otherwise where can we find it?"
"How to get her to confess?" Mingshu said, "Extorting a confession by torture?"
Fang Yuanhang rolled his eyes, "Master, what did you say?"
"I also want to ask you what you said." Mingshu drank half a bottle of water in one breath and frowned under the scorching sun, "Do you know why Yu Caixin is so arrogant? It's because she thinks we can't find evidence. As long as we can't find any evidence. , once the time limit is up, we can only let him go. In this case, do you think she will obediently plead guilty? "
Fang Yuanhang put the bottle on his face, wondering if he was cooling his face or his brain.
Mingshu returned to the police car and was thinking about other possibilities when he suddenly saw someone arguing outside the gate 2 of the community not far away.
A courier delivering goods on a tricycle was stopped by property management, and the courier shouted, "Why can they enter?"
"They" refers to vans passing through the motorway.
The property management said: "Are you new here? Your courier company has no partnership with our convenience store, so you can't go in."
"Then what should I do with my truck?" The courier was sweating all over, and his young face was full of anxiety.
"Put it there." The property management pointed to a row of small shops outside the community, "Your company's express delivery is placed there, do you see it?"
Ming Shu's mind flashed, and he immediately said, "Go!"
When checking the express collection point, he overlooked one thing, that is, not only the convenience stores in the community, but also vegetable stores, dry cleaners, and even marinated vegetables stores and pharmacies near the community.
For residents, the collection points inside and outside the community are only separated by a wall, and they are the same wherever they are, just a few more steps.
After checking half a street, a fruit shop called "Tao Tao Le" admitted that there was a courier from Ms. Yu in the shop.
The owner searched for a long time, and from the corner of the narrow warehouse, he pulled out a tightly packed box, "Here, this is it."
Ming Shu immediately took it. From the information on the list, the express was sent from a forwarding point in Beicheng District, and the sender's contact number was familiar.
A few seconds later, Mingshu remembered that this number was Yu Caixin's phone number, and the recipient's number was another phone number of Yu Caixin.
"She gave me 100 yuan a month, saying that she was busy with work. Every day she came back in the early morning. My store was closed. She couldn't get the courier, so she could only save a few more days." The owner said: "She gave me everything. I've got the money, of course I'll take it for her. She's picked up the courier from me several times, and it's all in this box, and she doesn't know what to buy. It's been more than half a month, and she hasn't come to pick it up. "
Ming Shu handed the box to Fang Yuanhang, "Looking at the weight, if it really contains what we are looking for, it should be a micro order."
Yu Caixin has been transferred from the interrogation room to the interrogation room. Under the bright lights, her slightly adjusted eyes opened in horror, staring at the micro-list in the transparent evidence bag.
"I found the most crucial evidence." Mingshu held a stack of photos in both hands, gently lined them up on the table, and then arranged them one by one on the table, "You can't argue."
In the lower right corner of those photos, the exact time before Chen Quanhan and Luo Xiangfu were killed, accurate to the minute and second. Their faces were initially covered by their own clothes, revealing the naked, aged bodies of older men.
Even if they can't see their faces, their fear and despair seem to pass through the frozen picture, through the passage of time, and pass them on to the detectives.
Time passed, the clothes were taken off, and the two faces that had nothing in common had similar expressions.
They were crying, begging for mercy, tearful, trying to escape, but couldn't move their bodies at all.
"Only your fingerprints are on the camera, and Luo Xiangfu's blood is on the camera belt—you probably didn't notice it when you cleaned it." Mingshu looked at Yu Caixin with a solemn expression, "Do you have anything to say?"
The interrogation room fell silent, and for a long time, Yu Caixin let out a trembling sneer.
"Yes, I killed them." Her artificially sculpted face had become hideous at some point, like an inferior beauty painting, "I not only killed them, but also took pictures of them! They love to take pictures so much. I'll take enough pictures of people's bodies! Take pictures of their own bodies and show them how ugly they are! How can they judge me for such ugly people?"
Mingshu's eyes were dark, and there was no trace of kindness in protecting children on Yu Caixin's face.
The most elusive thing is people. She can kill someone because of a word from a stranger. She can also stand in front of the murderer when everyone retreats and exchange herself for a child she doesn't know.
"Don't they deserve to die?" Yu Caixin laughed harshly, "Some people deserve to die, but I'm just killing harm for the people."
"You really know how to act." Mingshu said, "Is it inspired by Lu Kun?"
Yu Caixin shook his head, "You don't understand anything."
"If I don't understand, how can I figure out your psychology? How can I find the camera you hid in the fruit store?" Mingshu sneered, "You dare not put the camera next to you, and you are reluctant to delete the photo, you have to open it If you have a camera, you can appreciate the desperation of Luo and Chen. You send the camera from various courier points near your company, and it is placed in the fruit store owner's warehouse just like ordinary express delivery. Because you paid the storage fee, the boss is very attentive , it will never be lost. When you want to see a photo, you take it away like a courier. No one knows what you are taking, and no one will even doubt it. It's normal. After you enjoy it, you pack the camera and send it again the next day, and the cycle goes back and forth, you won't lose your 'trophy', and you think the police will never find your 'trophy'."
Yu Caixin's bright and clean cheeks twitched.
"Lu Kun's behavior made you realize that you can put the cloak of 'justice' on yourself." Mingshu continued: "So you deliberately bought the book before he went crazy. Let me guess, what you want to say next It must be—it was the heart of the tomb that bewitched me! I read his book before committing a crime! At Shuhan Cafe that day, you not only saved people, but also broadened your thinking."
Yu Caixin's sweaty hands pressed against the interrogation table, making an unpleasant sound.
Mingshu added: "If you insist that it was the heart of the tomb that bewitched you, then at least you should be more sincere and read his book page by page, instead of buying it and turning it over and putting it on the shelf. "
Yu Caixin didn't move her facial bones, but at this moment, her face seemed to be torn apart, and her beauty was gone.
"What I want to emphasize to you is that you are the one who committed the crime from beginning to end." Mingshu said, "Whether you are bewitched by the heart of the tomb or not, you must be responsible for the crime you committed!"
After a few breaths of silence, Yu Caixin seemed to be unable to support her, and her back slammed against the back of the chair.
The muffled sound swayed away, and the recorder was startled and almost stood up to help Yu Caixin.
"Am I ugly?" Yu Caixin asked suddenly.
Outside the interrogation room, Fang Yuanhang looked at the surveillance camera and said, "I don't understand, why does she have to die for her looks? Her face, whether before or after plastic surgery, has nothing to do with 'ugly'. If she is ugly, then the more ordinary girls are not alive?"
"It's not her appearance that she stubbornly fights, it's the evaluation of the outside world." Zhou Yuan, who didn't say much, sighed, "Everyone has their own demons, and her demons are other people's evaluation of her appearance. If someone asked her back then Whether she is willing to take pictures or not, she will not be what she is now."
"That was the most difficult time for me. The team lost orders from several major customers. Cao Xiang was against me in the company again, trying to disintegrate the team I had worked so hard to build. I heard someone say in private that Mr. Yu No way, an old woman, I can't eat the headhunter's bowl of rice." Yu Caixin raised her head slantingly, her eyes didn't know where to look, she said slowly, "They said I was old and dirty, and I used a thick foundation to cover up the wrinkles on my face. , relying on brand-name clothes to cover up the fat body. There is a young front desk girl in the company. She is young and beautiful, and she is very foreign. I suddenly remembered what happened in my hometown many years ago, and I was always pointed at me, so Years have passed, and I thought I had gotten rid of the evaluations of 'dirty', 'ugly', and 'fat', but in the eyes of others, I was still soil, still ugly, still fat, and even had a new evaluation - old."
Yu Caixin smiled dully, "I'm an old woman. I went to Huayun Center for a walk, and no camera was aimed at me. Even if I deliberately walked in front of those photographers, they just looked at me and chased after the young and beautiful Little girl. Do you understand that feeling?"
Mingshu frowned slightly.
"It's like I've been abandoned by fate. They can only see those bright and beautiful people. No matter how expensive I put on clothes or how delicate makeup I put on, they can't see me." Yu Cai's voice tightened. Excited, "they occasionally saw me, and then told me with their eyes - you are ugly, you are not qualified to be photographed by me. Chen Quanhan, he said I was ugly in front of me. Luo Xiangfu, he would rather chase than be photographed by him. The woman he was shooting didn't stop to shoot me. The woman he was chasing and I was wearing very similar clothes that day. He deliberately humiliated me!"
Fang Yuanhang shook his head, "Yu Caixin is paranoid, right? How could this be a deliberate humiliation? Luo Xiangfu probably didn't notice her at all."
Zhou Yuan said: "Not being noticed is actually equivalent to humiliation in her logic."
"I don't want the people who have humiliated me to continue to live, so they all have to die." Yu Caixin looked at Mingshu again and smiled, "I just went to the plastic surgery hospital to adjust the facial features a little, and they all went crazy, they all wanted to give I took pictures, you said it was funny or not?"
Mingshu said, "You have been to the place where Chen Quanhan lives."
"Of course!" Yu Cai's eyes suddenly brightened, "He has chased me at Huayun Center several times, and I didn't agree to let him take pictures. I pretended to 'passing' Pu'ou New Street and gave him a bottle of refills. tell him that if he wants to shoot me, he will wait for me at 11:00 p.m. in the grove of the popular science amusement park. That bad old man did exactly what I said. He was so drunk that I covered him with a drug His nose, he's no longer my match."
Mingshu said: "On July 2, you killed Luo Xiangfu in the same way."
Yu Caixin pondered for a while, "Luo Xiangfu is very strange, he must photograph me wearing a professional attire, and he said that he can help those people in remote areas. He said that I have the aura of a real professional woman, and those who wear beautiful long clothes Women in skirts are different, and my photos are more likely to change someone’s mind. That’s weird, I was a professional woman before I had my facelift, and I often wore professional clothes. Why didn’t he find my beauty? In the end, it's just a vile excuse."
"You promised Luo Xiangfu to wear a professional attire to let him take a picture, give him the wine with seasoning, and ordered him to wait for you at the playground late at night." Mingshu sighed, "When you kill them, don't you feel fear?"
"Why should I be afraid?" Yu Caixin said, "I often feel that I am the one who was killed. When I was a young girl, I was killed by many people. Have you come to find my body? Have you ever avenged me? All of you just grinned at me, talked about my pain, and no one ever cared about me—my parents, my classmates, my ex-boyfriend…”
A line of tears rolled down Yu Caixin's eyes. She lowered her head and raised her hand to wipe.
"Why don't you ask if they were scared when they killed me?"
Volume two is endless
