Madness of the Heart

Chapter 89: For Good (09)

Dongcheng Branch, Criminal Investigation Detachment.

"Qiao team, what did the serious crime team say?" Seeing Lan Qiao coming back, Shen Lan hurried up to ask.

"The case will continue to be investigated by us, but the details must be communicated with the serious crime team at any time." Lan Qiao took off her police uniform, suddenly noticed something, and looked at Shen Lan inquiringly.

Sure enough, Shen Lan said happily: "Then next time you go to the Ming team to report, can you take me with you? Or I can go alone and run errands for you."

Lan Qiao smiled, "Do you want to report to Team Ming, or do you want to see Team Yi?"

Shen Lan's eyes widened and her cheeks flushed, "Qiao team, what are you talking about?"

"Who in our team doesn't know that you have a crush on Team Yi?" Lan Qiao said, "During the police training last year, you always stared at Team Yi."

Her mind was broken, Shen Lan covered her face, "I like it secretly, don't let Team Yi know about any of you. He likes that kind of gentle and quiet girl, I'm too rude, he doesn't like me. "

Lan Qiao wanted to refute, but after hesitating for a while, let it go.

Although the outside world likes to call policewomen police flowers, there are actually very few policewomen who really look like flowers, especially the policewomen squadron, which is on the front line all the year round.

No matter how beautiful a girl is, she can't stand the wind and the sun. Shen Lan's facial features are very beautiful, but there is an inconspicuous scar on her forehead, which is the injury she suffered in close combat with the gangsters.

Many female police officers in the squadron have been injured and have little time to take care of themselves.

If Shen Lan wasn't a police officer, he might be Yi Fei's type, but now...

Lan Qiao sighed and said to Shen Lan, "Okay, I'll take you to the city bureau next time."

Yi Fei didn't know that a policewoman was secretly admiring him, and was directing the investigation at the Zijiao campus of Dongye University at this time.

Zhan Li had a motive for committing the crime, and her status as one of the top 50 in the National Women's Wushu Competition gave her the ability to kill Lu and Zhao.

Zhou Xinlin is at the same level as Lv Chen and Zhao Siyan, and is the person who has the best relationship with Lu and Zhao according to other students of the School of Public Administration.

When the serious crime team came to the Zijiao campus for the first time, Zhou Xinlin was out for an internship and couldn't come back in time. This time Yi Fei found her, and as soon as she said a few words, her tears couldn't stop falling.

Yi Fei comforted a few words and cut to the point, "As far as you know, did Lv Chen and Zhao Siyan offend anyone in the academy?"

"They don't have a good relationship with Zhan Li." Zhou Xinlin sobbed, "Zhan Li is too strong and jealous. She doesn't like anyone whose achievements are above her, especially people like Lu Chen. He was admitted from a foreign school."

Zhan Li, more than one person has mentioned Zhan Li.

Yi Fei nodded and said again: "Recall again, has Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan ever encountered anything strange?"

"Yes!" Zhou Xinlin said excitedly: "This year there is a man who has been harassing Yanzi."

This man was naturally He Yi, and Yi Fei asked again, "Apart from this matter?"

Zhou Xinlin cried and thought, "Chenchen was drugged."

Yi Fei immediately became vigilant, "Medicine? What medicine? When did it happen?"

In the previous investigation, no one mentioned "medication", not even Lu and Zhao's roommate Yang Le knew about it.

"It's not poison, it's wind oil essence." Zhou Xinlin said, "When the semester just started, Chenchen went to the school library to check the materials, brought a bottle of black tea made by himself, and put it on the table. I left in the morning for a while, and when I came back, I drank the water and tasted the peculiar smell."

Saying that, Zhou Xinlin began to tremble slightly, "The tea Chenchen has already swallowed it. If it was poison, Chenchen would probably have..."

Yi Fei said softly, "Don't panic, speak slowly."

Zhou Xinlin paused for a moment, then continued: "The school library is very big. Anyone can enter as long as they have documents. There is no surveillance in the place where Chenchen sits, so it is very difficult to check. Chenchen went to the hospital to check and made sure that everything was fine, Tell us not to speak out."

Yi Fei asked, "What do you mean?"

"Yanzi and I." Zhou Xinlin said, "My classmates who studied medicine at the morning entrusted with the test and found that the tea contained wind oil essence. The man poured half a bottle into it. It's scary. After that, Chenchen has been very careful, never drinking water out of sight."

Yi Fei couldn't help but think, who would pour wind essential oil into Lu Chen's tea

Just a prank, or a rehearsal before the actual poisoning

The Zijiao campus is a new campus of Dongye University. The management is much stricter than the old campus. It is almost impossible for outsiders to enter, let alone a place like the library that must be swiped.

There is a high probability that the wind oil is poured from the school personnel.

Yi Fei asked, "Do you have any doubts in your heart?"

Zhou Xinlin hesitated for a few minutes, then whispered, "Yes."

"who is it?"

"Zhan Li."

"Team Yi!" Zhou Yuan suddenly called, "I searched Zhan Li's Internet traces and found that she recently searched for keywords such as 'how to hide a corpse', 'how to kill people without being discovered', 'highly poisonous poison' and so on. Also, Zhan Li has a Weibo account with no followers and no fans, inside…”

After hanging up the phone, Yi Fei immediately found the Weibo account that Zhou Yuan said, and swiped it down, feeling a chill.

This Weibo simply recorded all of Zhan Li's malice towards Lu Chen.

She referred to Lu Chen with "L" and repeatedly mentioned that she hoped that Lu Chen would die. After the school started in September, Zhan Li posted a significant increase in the frequency of Weibo, including several screenshots, all of which were related to killing and mutilating corpses.

A Weibo post in March this year confirmed Zhou Xinlin's words.

It was Zhan Li who secretly poured Fengyou essence into Lv Chen's black tea.

"I tried to poison L today, using balsamic essence. She is such a stupid woman who unscrewed the cap and didn't even smell it before taking a big mouthful. Hahaha, I really regret it, if I pour it in It's not wind oil, but poison, did she drink it too? Then she's dead now, will JC find me? But regret is useless, I'm not ready now, L, you continue to be a bitch Well, one day, I will give you some color to see!"

On October 13, Zhan Li posted on Weibo for the last time:

"L and his dog went to Wanghong Mountain to see ginkgo. There should not be many people in Wanghong Mountain now. Is my chance coming?"

what chance

A chance to kill Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan

On the 13th, did Zhan Li go to Qiyue Mountain

Why did Zhan Li never post on Weibo after the 13th

Facing the content of his Weibo account, the cold sweat on Zhan Li's face suddenly fell. She shook her head slightly and repeated in a low voice, "No, no..."

Yi Fei looked at the girl regretfully, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

Zhan Li's grades were not as good as Lu Chen's, but he was definitely not a bad student. In the college entrance examination that year, her score was much higher than that of Lu Chen, otherwise she would not have been admitted to a prestigious school like Dongye University.

In addition to her grades, she is also a martial arts master.

But the appearance of Lu Chen made her more and more unbalanced, so much so that she poured wind oil into Lu Chen's water. But now, her jealousy has intensified, to the point of planning to kill Lu Chen.

"Where were you on the night of October 13th?" Yi Fei asked.

Zhan Li shook his head vigorously, raised his hands, covered his ears, and didn't want to say a word.

Zhan Li doesn't say a word, but the evidence "speaks".

At 1:04 p.m. on the 13th, the surveillance on the bus platform captured Zhan Li boarding a No. 308 bus and getting off at the terminal station, Tianxing West Road.

At 2:12 and 2:32, Zhan Li was captured twice by public cameras near Tianxing West Road, and he appeared to be waiting for the bus.

But after that, until 10 p.m., Zhan Li was not photographed by surveillance.

At 10:00, the last bus of No. 308 departed. When Zhan Li got on the bus, he looked strange, tired and lost.

Yi Fei asked the technical team to enlarge and clear the video to the maximum extent, but did not find any bloodstains on Zhan Li.

Zhan Li was wearing the same clothes when he came and went, and it was hard not to splatter blood on the murderer like Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan died. If the person was indeed killed by Zhan Li, did she bring an identical set of clothes

If Zhan Li didn't kill her, where did she go during the few hours she disappeared? What have you been through

"I want to kill Lu Chen! In places like Qiyue Mountain, Lu Chen can't find helpers. Zhao Siyan is just a waste. I can easily break their necks." Zhan Li's eyes were red, "I went to Qiyue Mountain. , but I didn't kill them!"

This rhetoric is not convincing. Zhan Li went to Qiyue Mountain at Lu Chen, but gave up when he got there. Why

Yi Fei asked patiently, "Because you didn't find them? Or because you saw something?"

Serious Cases Team.

After Ming Shu sent Lan Qiao away, he locked himself in a small meeting and followed this disappearance case that people could not ignore.

Qiu Min, an Internet expert in Dongye City, posted his last social update on October 4th, and his last communication record on his mobile phone was on October 14th—ordering a takeaway in Shouquan Town. Since then, Qiu Min's mobile phone has been turned off, and the card has been separated, making it impossible to locate it.

October 14 was the day after Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan were killed.

Even without this case, Qiu Min has a lot to do with Qiyueshan.

The year before last, Qiyue Mountain was known because of a group photo of a foreign traveler, but it was Qiu Min, a group of local Vs, who made Qiyue Mountain an Internet celebrity scenic spot.

It can be seen from Qiu Min's social account that from the year before last to last year, he released many videos and pictures related to Qiyue Mountain. Because of his outstanding image, unique text and angle, he has been hyping Qiyue Mountain in many hype. The big V dominates. This year, Qiyue Mountain has attracted more attention than in previous years, but Qiu Min released much less content related to Qiyue Mountain than last year.

But now, Qiu Min has disappeared.

The frequency of Qiu Min posting videos is once a week, and sometimes twice a week. The content is divided into two types: "Recommending Dongye Food" and "Recommending Dongye Beauty". Every midweek and weekend, Qiu Min also broadcasts live for an hour or two, earning tens of thousands of dollars in rewards each time.

As for Weibo, Qiu Min will update it every day. When there is no food and beauty recommendation, he will post a selfie.

Judging by the status of the Weibo update, Qiu Min was missing on October 4th, and he disappeared on October 5th at the latest. Lan Qiao and the others checked the surveillance near Qiu Min’s house and found that Qiu Min was on the morning of the 4th. I went out with a backpack and never came back.

But if it is judged from the mobile phone communication records, Qiu Min disappeared from the public's sight completely on October 14, that is, after Lu and Zhao were killed.

Now the female police squadron is looking for the deliveryman who met Qiu Min that day, but there is no result yet.

The exact day Qiu Min disappeared is related to the nature of his disappearance.

Disappearance is nothing more than two cases, one is to leave voluntarily because of something, and the other is to encounter an accident.

Qiu Min is a good Internet celebrity. Fans are rewarded plus advertising expenses, and his monthly income is more than 100,000. What would make him choose to leave without a word

Then if an accident happened, who harmed him? Is the person who used his mobile phone to order takeout in Shouquan Town on the 14th himself

Shouquan Town, Shouquan Town…

Mingshu squeezed his eyebrows and took a few breaths.

A murder case and a disappearance case are all related to Qiyue Mountain in Shouquan Town. Is Qiu Min's disappearance related to the murders of Lu and Zhao

The social circles of Qiu Min and Lv Chen and Zhao Siyan do not overlap, and there is no sign that they know each other, but Lv Chen and Zhao Siyan may have seen the video he made.

Mingshu browsed the videos posted by Qiu Min in the past, and his eyes stayed on the most popular one recently.

"Cheng Jianghu" Jianghu Restaurant.

Mingshu remembered that this was the very popular restaurant next to "Baby Shrimp".

In a restaurant for ordinary people, it sells cheap dishes. The per capita consumption is 70 to 80 yuan. The interior decoration is average, and the appearance of the dishes is not outstanding, but Qiu Min has a unique perspective, focusing on the taste of the dishes, and Cheng. The hospitality of the boss.

That day, I was with Xiao Yu'an at "Shrimp Baby", and the aunt who sold mung bean soup and sweet soy milk sold "Amway" in person. But after watching Qiu Min's video, Mingshu has the idea to try it someday when he has time. It can be seen that Qiu Min, as a big V, does have some skills in selling "Amway".

Mingshu looked at the release of the video "Cheng Jianghu", just before the last time the serious crime team went to "Baby Shrimp" to investigate the Sha Chun case.

At that time, the third section of the entire Longcheng Road was undoubtedly the most popular "Shrimp Baby".

"Cheng Jianghu" has now overshadowed "Baby Shrimp", is it because of Qiu Min's recommendation

Ming Shu first searched for "Cheng Jianghu" on Weibo, and found that "Qiu Shan's sleepless sleep" - Qiu Min's screen name was in the forefront of the related words. When I clicked in, many netizens said that they went to "Cheng Jianghu" with the mentality of trying it out after watching the video of "Qiu Shan's Sleepless Sleep". This trip was like a treasure, and I have never eaten such a thing before. Delicious Jianghu dishes, the attitude of the boss and the waiters are also first-class, and I will definitely go again, and I will also "Amway" the people around me.

Mingshu opened the largest local exchange forum in Dongye City again, "Hi in Dongye", searched for hot posts, and quickly found the relevant content of "Cheng Jianghu".

It turned out that the first person to recommend "Cheng Jianghu" on the Internet was indeed "Qiu Shan Sui Mian". The first batch of customers who went to try the early adopters came back and expressed great satisfaction without exception. The word-of-mouth effect came out at this time. Then, other local big V They followed up on the popularity, and almost all of them sent "Cheng Jianghu" tasting reports, each with its own perspective and wording, and almost all of them were compliments, only one big V said: "Maybe the expectations are too high, and I feel bad after eating it. A little disappointed."

This big V is usually known for his vicious tongue. Netizens have long considered him to be a "barbarian" and no longer care about his words.

With the fermentation of word-of-mouth effect, in just two months, "Cheng Jianghu" has become the most popular restaurant in the third section of Longcheng Road, which is incomparable to the old shop "Shrimp Baby" on the side.

Mingshu noticed that many netizens evaluated the two because "Shrimp Baby" and "Cheng Jianghu" were adjacent to each other, the dishes overlapped a lot, and the target group was the same, and "Shrimp Baby" was an established and popular restaurant. While touting "Cheng Jianghu", netizens devalued "Baby Shrimp" to nothing, and many comments were even false, which meant a lot of praise.

Under the background of "Cheng Jianghu", it is not incomprehensible that "Baby Shrimp" quickly declined in a short period of time.

On the surface, the decline in popularity of "Baby Shrimp" is due to the rise of "Cheng Jianghu" next door. It can be investigated in depth, but it has nothing to do with the video Qiu Min made two months ago.

Qiu Min is a local big V, an Internet celebrity, and has countless fans. His words, a set of pictures, and a video can bring huge attention to a restaurant that is just starting out.

Of course, the success of "Cheng Jianghu" is not only because of Qiu Min's video. In a restaurant popular with the public, taste is everything. If the "Cheng Jianghu" dishes don't taste good, Qiu Min will post ten wonderful videos in a row. People will eat it once, but not the second time, and will not pass it on by word of mouth. , "Amway" to relatives and friends around.

But if Qiu Min didn't recommend "Cheng Jianghu"...

Perhaps after the previous accumulation, "Cheng Jianghu" will still be popular, but it will never become popular so fast, and it will not quickly steal the customer source of "Baby Shrimp".

When leaving "Baby Shrimp", Xiao Yu'an said a word, to the effect that many things are ordinary good and ordinary poor, but if there are influential people who recommend it, more and more people will follow suit. It will become "perfect", and conversely, if many people follow the trend and step into a restaurant, the difference will become "absolutely bad".

"Baby Shrimp"'s past glory and present embarrassment are examples.

Humans are social animals, and most people follow suit.

Mingshu himself is no exception, or he will not take Xiao Yuan to eat "baby shrimp".

The background records of the platform show that Qiu Min receives promotions every month, which is his main source of income, but there are also quite a few of the attractions and foods he recommends that do not charge promotion fees, in other words, he himself Go, eat, feel like it, and promote it on your own social platform for free. This is also a way to enrich content and increase popularity.

"Cheng Jianghu" seems to fall into this category.

Before "Cheng Jianghu", there were still many unknown small restaurants in Dongye City that became popular because of Qiu Min's videos, and he himself also accumulated a lot of popularity with these interesting videos, and the popularity continued to be transformed into when talking about promotion and cooperation. Capital.

Win-win.

But has anyone suffered a big loss because of Qiu Min's recommendation

Of course there are, such as "Shrimp Baby", and stores that are in a similar situation as "Shrimp Baby".

Ming Shu leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

If Qiu Min encounters an accident, these shopkeepers who seem to have nothing to do with him, but have been "hurt" by him have sufficient motives for committing the crime.

And if Qiu Min left voluntarily, why did he go to Shouquan Town

"Qiyue Mountain, Ginkgo Biloba, Haijing Temple, Lu Chen, Zhao Siyan..." Mingshu whispered to himself, and suddenly opened his eyes because of a jumping thought.

A while ago, Xiao Yuan pointed out several doubts about the "1013 case", and put a "rope" on him. Although the "rope" is a joke, he did not get stuck in a dead end because of this "rope".

Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan died strangely. They were only going up the mountain to enjoy the autumn, but they never came down again.

What was the killer's motive for killing them

There is a possibility that the murderer did not intend to kill them, but finally had to kill them!

Because they saw or photographed something they shouldn't have seen.

Mingshu suddenly woke up.

There is a secret that has not yet been known on Qiyue Mountain. The murderer took their lives because Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan accidentally broke the secret. After the killing, how to deal with their bodies has become a big trouble. As long as the corpse cannot be completely disappeared, one day, the corpse will be discovered. Once the body is exposed to the police's sight, the police will follow the clues. Any feature displayed on the body may lead the police to find the murderer.

So the murderer thought of a way to mislead the police.

Mingshu's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and he pondered over the logical loophole of this idea.

If this is the case, what exactly did Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan smash into

"Master, are you looking for me?" Fang Yuanhang pushed open the door, as if he had just returned from outside.

Mingshu asked, "Have you found anything in Haijing Temple?"

"There are a lot of weird people." Fang Yuanhang recounted the situation of Wu Ao, Wu Yu, and Wu Nian, "I want to search Haijing Temple, but it is a religious place after all."

"I'll handle the search." Mingshu said, "I now suspect that there is something on Qiyue Mountain that we don't know about."

"Huh?" Fang Yuanhang was so tired that his mind didn't turn as fast as usual, "What secrets can there be on the mountain?"

"Last time we were on Qiyue Mountain, our attention was all on the two corpses, and the trace examination only searched around for the murder case itself." Mingshu said: "This is likely to miss key information."

Fang Yuanhang asked, "Do you want to search again?"

Mingshu asked back, "When you went to Cha Haijing Temple later, did you go to the place where Lv Chen and Zhao Siyan were killed?"

Fang Yuanhang shook his head and touched his neck subconsciously, "Xiao Man said that everything that can be checked has already been checked, so I will…"

"It's okay." Mingshu said, "I'm not blaming you, I just suddenly have an idea."

Fang Yuanhang said, "Then what are we looking for? There should be a purpose, right?"

Mingshu walked to the window, half-squinting.

What was the murderer afraid of exposing

A murderer who must have killed people before, with brutal methods and great skills, in a dense forest, what is he afraid of exposing

Corpse

Murder scene

Mingshu licked his lower lip, "You said, will there be one or even more corpses near where Lv Chen and Zhao Siyan were killed, or farther away?"

Nancheng District, Section 3 of Longcheng Road.

Before the dinner rush, the door of "Baby Shrimp" was open, and only half of the lights were turned on.

Some of the waiters are cleaning, and some are ordering the ingredients that have just been delivered.

The oldest eldest sister Qin had an ugly face. She stood at the door of the store, stretched her neck and looked around while making a phone call.

The phone had been in her ear for a long time, and the sound from the receiver was still a mechanical sound.

"Ms. Qin!" Xiaoxi ran out of the store, "Boss, they still can't get in touch?"

Sister Qin put down her phone and said in dialect, "It's weird, where did this family die?"
