When he saw that Xiao Yuan came to the Psychological Research Center instead of Mingshu or Yi Fei, Lin Jiao showed a hint of surprise.
"Xiao Bureau?"
"The Ming team can't go away because of something." Xiao Yu'an said, "I'll take a look for him. Have you found Qin Xu's problem?"
Lin Jiao led Xiao Yu'an to the office, with a little regret in his eyes, "Qin Xu was probably ruined by his sister."
"Qin Ke?" Xiao Yuan stopped, "Qin Xu's current character is caused by Qin Ke?"
Lin Jiao opened the door of an office with his fingerprints, "Let's come in and talk."
Qin Xu was not in this office, the instruments at work made a blunt and cold sound, and there were several reports filled with complex numerical values on the desk, next to a few very abstract paintings.
"These paintings were sent by the serious crime team." Lin Jiao said, "They were all found from Qin Xu's personal belongings. They were his works five years ago, when he was 12 years old."
Xiao Yuan picked up one of them. On the right side of the picture was a huge concentric circle, drawn with a red pen, surrounded by a circle. And this circle is penetrated by messy black lines, which looks like an ugly hedgehog at first glance. On the left side of the screen is a small blue circle. Compared with the red concentric circles, the blue circle is very small, but there is a thick black line on the right side of the blue circle. All the black lines on the red concentric circles are derived from this black line.
The rest of the paintings look different from this one, but they all use three colors of red, blue, and black. Some have only these three colors, and some also have a circle of fluorescent green and a circle of fluorescent yellow. There is always a black line connecting the blue circle and the red circle. The blue circle is smaller than the red circle, but the meaning of each painting seems to be that, although the blue circle is small, it can manipulate the black line and tightly bind the red circle. lock up.
These paintings are all by a 12-year-old boy. What does Qin Xu want to express through these paintings
Qin Xu is a key figure in the Qin family's murder. Although he insists that he has only been at the scene and photographed the family members who died tragically, there is no evidence to prove that he was not at the scene when the crime occurred.
Previously, Mingshu had dispatched some team members to Qin Xu's elementary school, junior high school, and high school to understand the situation. It can be seen from Qin Xu's teachers and some classmates that Qin Xu has been excellent since he was a child. This excellence is not only reflected in his grades, but also in all aspects of campus life - Qin Xu is cheerful and sunny, and he has always actively participated in class activities. The class organized a learning mutual aid group, and Qin Xu also took the lead.
Qin Xu's personality suddenly changed when he was about 12 years old. His grades fell seriously for a period of time, and then he rushed up again, from excellent to excellent, but his whole person became gloomy. Unless necessary, he would hardly interact with people. , showing a very cold face to both the teacher and the classmates, as if the whole world owes him. Now Qin Xu is 17 years old, and he has no friends around. Everyone avoids him. His classmates say he is a weird person, and teachers are a little afraid of him, but his grades are still top, so even the head teacher doesn't know if he wants to talk to him. , what should be discussed.
"The red circle represents Qin Ke, and the blue circle represents Qin Xu himself. Qin Ke is strong, while Qin Xu is weak, and the other two fluorescent circles are their parents who are standing by." Xiao Yuan put down the painting, "The black line represents Some kind of abstract power, Qin Xu imagined that he was using this power to punish Qin Ke."
Lin Jiao nodded, turned on the display screen, and pulled out another chair, "Xiao Bureau, sit down."
Xiao Yuan saw that it was Qin Xu who appeared on the screen.
"He was very resistant, and the hypnosis I performed on him didn't go well." Lin Jiao said, "But at any rate, it can be considered to probe some of his heart through just a few words."
Before the age of 12, Qin Xu and Qin Ke had a good relationship. In Qin Xu's heart, Qin Ke is the best sister in the world—beautiful, gentle, and kind. The only drawback is that her grades are average.
If Qin Xu gets anything good, he will share it with Qin Ke. Qin Ke is the same.
However, when Qin Xu was 12 years old, he found that his sister had gradually changed. He seldom spoke, and always ran to Internet cafes. He was irritable and irritable. Sometimes he felt that Qin Ke was looking at him, and when he turned around, he could meet Qin Ke's strange eyes. .
Huang Hui and Qin Xiong are both very busy people and have very little time at home. In order to save money, they did not hire a nanny at home. Most of the time, Qin Xu was alone with Qin Ke.
At this time, Qin Ke would do some "weird" things, such as releasing foreign pornographic films in front of Qin Xu.
A 12-year-old boy is not ignorant of men and women. But what shocked Qin Xu was that Qin Ke took off his clothes and trousers while watching the film, and blasphemed himself in the shouts from the speakers!
Qin Ke was only 16 years old then!
Qin Xu was greatly shocked and at a loss, and Qin Ke threatened him that if he told his parents, he would say that he found all the films.
In everyone's eyes, Qin Ke is a good girl. How could a good girl see such a thing
Qin Xu was also in the developmental stage at the time, and gradually changed from being shocked to being attracted. Every time Qin Ke watched, he would stand outside the door and watch.
But compared to the people on the screen, it was his sister who attracted him more.
Qin Ke has become more and more arrogant, and the film can no longer satisfy her. Not long ago, she also bought a bunch of things online that Qin Xu could not even think about.
Finally, Qin Ke waved to Qin Xu.
The 12-year-old Qin Xu just walked over and was molested by his own sister.
This is the first time, but not the last. Qin Xu realized that this was wrong, but Qin Ke forced him and threatened him. He could not escape and was bewitched. And their parents didn't notice their weirdness at all.
For countless nights, Qin Xu wanted to kill Qin Ke and then kill himself.
Those ugly paintings were painted back then.
But no matter how he struggled, when Qin Ke waved to him, he would still be attracted.
This relationship continued until Qin Ke began to support the "Cowboy".
Qin Xu thought he was freed, but the influence of the past was indelible. He changed completely, hated Qin Ke, hated himself, and hated his parents who knew nothing.
In his cognition, everyone is ugly and dirty, just like Qin Ke.
He used the money given by Qin Xiong to buy a camera. His biggest hobby is to capture those ugly people.
"The shadow of adolescence, especially the 'sex' aspect, is likely to worsen severely and affect a lifetime without timely psychological assistance." Lin Jiao said, "Especially in Qin Xu's case, the harm is still the same. What was given by his favorite sister, he was too young to struggle, his parents didn't do anything, and there was no one around who could help him."
Sighing, Lin Jiao added: "Qin Ke's behavior is a clear pedophile and a crime. The information passed to me by the serious crime team also mentioned that the men Qin Ke has been with in the past two years are all relatively young. But now that the person is dead, there will be no evidence to investigate further. This is what I learned from Qin Xu, and I don't know if it will help you to investigate the case. "
"It's hard work." Xiao Yu'an said: "Any clues appear to have a certain effect on the investigation. Even if it is not the key to solving the case, it can at least help us uncover some of the mysteries and rule out some possibilities."
Lin Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I didn't work in vain."
Knowing the cause of Qin Xu's current personality, Mingshu was very angry, "It turned out to be Qin Ke!"
When he sent Qin Xu to the Psychological Research Center, he originally had some judgments, but these judgments all pointed to Huang Hui and Qin Xiong. Yi Fei and others also believed that Qin Xu was strange and gloomy, which was probably caused by his parents.
But it was Qin Ke who hurt Qin Xu, and in such a disgusting and criminal way.
After calming down, Mingshu said: "In this way, Qin Xu's motive for committing the crime is more complete. At the age of 12, he killed Qin Ke countless times in the painting, and also painted aside his parents who did not help him. Now that he's 17, the hatred for his family has grown to the point where he has to do it."
"There are sufficient motives and indirect evidence, but Qin Xu himself refused to plead guilty." Xiao Yu'an said, "Qin Xu is indeed the most suspected person, but..."
"But 5-8 still has an unfamiliar footprint. If you don't find this person, you can't rush to convict Qin Xu." Mingshu is very clear-headed, "and according to Qin Xu's logic, assuming that he is the murderer, he killed Qin Xu. The three people in the family are equivalent to liberation, and he is likely not to hide, but to show off."
Xiao Yu'an said: "Yes, even if we don't have Qin Ying's line now, if there is that footprint, this case can't be closed hastily."
For a few seconds, neither of them spoke, and each other's earpieces were filled with the sound of each other's breathing.
For a moment, Mingshu said: "If you trace the origin of this series of tragedies in the Qin family, you can actually trace it to Qin Ying. Qin Xu's personality changed because he was hurt by Qin Ke. What about Qin Ke? In Qin Xu's cognition , Qin Ke used to be a gentle and kind girl. Qin Ke discovered Qin Ying's photo when she was in her teens, and then learned from her aunt Huang Qing that Qin Ying disappeared before she was born. At the age of 16, it was she who began to investigate At the time of this incident. She posted on the Internet when she was 17, but she suspected that her parents killed Qin Ying must have been before this, that is, 16 years old. "
Xiao Yu'an said: "The parents are the murderers, and this huge shadow is on Qin Ke. Many crimes involving juveniles are rooted in the family. The psychological burden is difficult to solve. Some people choose to be extroverted, while others choose to be introverted. Fallen. Qin's choice is to indulge in sex and use it to hurt his own younger brother."
"I suddenly had an idea." Mingshu said, "Qin Ke's behavior, is she imitating her parents? She thinks that her parents killed Qin Ying, so she also hurt herself in another way. little brother?"
Xiao Yu'an said: "Yes or not, it doesn't matter now. We will never know what Qin Ke thinks in his heart."
Mingshu sighed, "That's true."
Xiao Yuan glanced at the time, "How about you? Is there anything new?"
"Everyone in Haijing Temple is not simple. The identity of Yin Xiaofeng, who has never spoken, has been found out." Mingshu said, "Before he became a monk at Haijing Temple, he received medical treatment in a mental hospital in Liangxi City."
Liangxi City and Dongye City are far apart and are small cities in the southern border provinces.
"Yin Xiaofeng has a mental problem?" Xiao Yuan said, "Then why did he come to Dongye City?"
Mingshu said: "I have already asked Xu Chun to rush to Liangxi City. Yin Xiaofeng's past experience should be found out soon. But leaders, this investigation has made me a little embarrassed."
As soon as Xiao Yuan heard Mingshu shouting "leader", he knew that this guy had something to report to him, so he said warmly: "What's making you anxious?"
"The grassroots police station is limited by factors such as personnel and equipment. Occasionally, there are cases of wrongful and unjust cases, and important cases cannot be detected and reported in time. I understand that. But Shouquan Town has gone too far. There are doubts in the past cases, and they are prevented from being investigated. Not to mention, I went to investigate the current case, and they didn’t cooperate.” Mingshu said: “27 years ago, the case of Tang Yuan’s wife Zhou Tingting drowning in a pond is full of doubts. The pond is completely outside of Zhou Tingting’s usual life, and It's very remote, why did she go there? And the family members of the deceased raised a lot of questions, but the police ignored them all, and defined the cause of death as falling into the water on the grounds that there was only Zhou Tingting on the edge of the pond."
Twenty-seven years ago, Shouquan Town was not under the management of Dongye City. In addition, the criminal investigation methods were backward at that time, and the forensic trace detection system was not complete. There was a high possibility of misjudgment or even intentional fraud.
"Zhou Tingting's younger sister Zhou Qingqing said that Zhou Tingting was killed by Tang Yuan and Liu Sui because there was a so-called 'adultery' between Liu Sui and Tang Yuan." Mingshu continued: "Chu Xin's identity enables him to Before coming to Haijing Temple, he found out the background of his senior brothers. What he found was that Liu Sui and Tang Yuan had an improper relationship when they were teaching at the No. 2 Primary School in Shouquan Town. Liu Sui was older than Tang Yuan and was unmarried. They are far married. Not to mention the social atmosphere at that time, even now, it is difficult for them to be accepted. And the Haijing Temple on Qiyue Mountain is a place where one can escape from reality.”
Xiao Yu'an said, "It's been too long. Whether it's the police handling the case in Shouquan Town or the family members of the deceased, it's actually a one-sided statement. Anyone can give their own logic. The key is, Team Ming, do you have any evidence?"
"The key evidence can't be found now, but according to Liu Sui and Tang Yuan's past colleagues, they are indeed a pair of lovers, and they are not tolerated by their respective families." Mingshu said: "Before becoming a monk, Liu Sui had been with his family. Cut off the relationship, and later his parents died, he did not come down the mountain to visit. As for Tang Yuan, in the relationship with Liu Sui, Tang Yuan is more like a weak party, and everything depends on Liu Sui. "
Xiao Yu'an said, "In your opinion, do they have a high probability of killing Qiu Min?"
Mingshu was silent for a while, "It's hard to say. Murderers who have not been punished by law, and murderers who have been sanctioned and then regained their freedom, are much more likely to commit crimes in the future than ordinary people. If 27 years ago, Liu Sui They killed Zhou Tingting together with Tang Yuan, so the possibility of them committing the crime this time is indeed not low. And don't you and Teacher Xing both think that Qiu Min and the body were killed by two people? Liu Sui and Tang Yuan are exactly the same Two people. But 'Zhou Tingting was killed by Liu and Tang' is only my inference now."
After speaking, Mingshu heard other people's voices coming from the phone and asked, "Xiao Bureau?"
"Go on and check." Xiao Yu'an said, "If a team member calls me, feel free to contact me."
Just after Mingshu hung up the phone, Fang Yuanhang rushed over with a yellow-faced and thin woman.
"Master, this is Qian Da's ex-wife Danmei! She has something to tell you!"
Mingshu looked at the woman in front of him and guessed her purpose from her furious eyes.
"You came from the city to check on Qianda? Are you the person in charge? Do your words work?" Danmei said with a burst of cannons, her prominent cheekbones rising and falling one after another.
Mingshu said, "I don't investigate Qian Da. I investigate the case of Zhou Tingting stumbled into the water 27 years ago."
She said with light eyebrows, "The same! What I want to tell you is that Zhou Tingting was killed!"
"Killed to death?" Mingshu said calmly, trying his best to calm down Danmei, "Do you have any evidence?"
"Of course I have!" Danmei slapped an iron box on the table with a "snap", "The contents here are evidence!"
Ming Shu opened the iron box and saw a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of gold earrings, and a gold pendant inside.
Gold is the best store of value, and many elderly families have similar gold jewelry.
Mingshu couldn't help but think of his sister Xiao Jinlan.
Xiao Jinlan is also two years older than Xiao Yuan, but she became obsessed with gold jewelry several years ago.
One year during the Spring Festival, Mingshu and Xiao Yuan went back to Xiao's house to celebrate the New Year, and Xiao Jinlan gave him a beautifully made gold plaque.
He didn't appreciate gold at that time, he felt rustic and old, "Sister, why don't you give me a pair of shoes."
"You kid, you know that I want shoes." Xiao Jinlan smiled and said, "You don't have enough shoes in the cabinet? This brand is safe. You and Yu'an, Jincheng, and Muting have them. Take them back. Let it go, don't give up."
The brand has been kept at home, with Xiao Yu'an's piece.
"These are evidence?" Mingshu asked Danmei.
"These jewelry are all given to me by Liu Changjun!" Danmei said, "Do you know who Liu Changjun is?"
Mingshu said, "I know."
Liu Changjun, Liu Sui's father, passed away a few years ago.
In terms of family background, Liu Sui and Tang Yuan are very different. The Liu family is a relatively wealthy family in Shouquan Town, and Liu Sui's job in the town's second primary school was also found at home. Tang Yuan, however, came out of the countryside by himself, and he had a certain job, so he was introduced early and married Zhou Tingting, a music teacher at the same school.
"It was Liu Sui who killed Zhou Tingting! Who doesn't know what happened between Liu Sui and Tang Yuan in the second primary school!" Danmei said excitedly: "It was Liu Sui who led Zhou Tingting to the Yantang and lied to her that three people would be resolved. But Tang Yuan wasn't there at all. There was no one else by the pond, Liu Sui pushed Zhou Tingting down directly!"
Mingshu asked: "Do you know so well? Is it because your ex-husband Chanda is in charge of this case?"
Danmei nodded, "I'm also guilty. I took a bribe from Liu Changjun. I'm here to confess to you now that it's fine for you to sentence me to prison. Qian Da must be arrested for this scourge!"
"I'm asking a digression." Mingshu said, "It's been so long since this case, why do you want to report Qianda at this time?"
"I..." Danmei looked embarrassed, and paused for a few seconds before saying: "When he was a policeman, he couldn't go home all day, and he didn't have much money. I never disliked him, taking care of him, taking care of his son, and taking care of him. Parents. But what about him? He quit his job as a police officer, and went into business and opened a restaurant. Now that's good, the restaurant has made so much money, so he went to the third and fourth to divorce me! I can't take this breath. If he doesn't make me feel better, then everyone will go to prison together!"
Facing the gold jewelry that his ex-wife sent to the city police detective, Qian Da, who was so arrogant when we met last time, was stunned, "This... this..."
"It seems that you are familiar with them." Mingshu said.
Danmei's words and jewelry do not directly indicate that Qian Da received money from the Liu family and helped Liu Sui escape. To prove that these jewelry were indeed sent by Liu Changjun, Danmei did not lie, it had to be a complicated process. As far as Danmei's hatred of Qian Da is concerned, she may frame Qian Da.
But Qian Da's abnormal response at this time is very telling.
"Twenty-seven years ago, it was Liu Sui who pushed Zhou Tingting into the water at the edge of the pond, right?" Mingshu said sharply, "When you investigated the scene, you didn't just find Zhou Tingting's footprints, didn't you!"
Qian Da was trembling and incoherent.
Criminal Investigation Bureau, Serious Cases Unit.
Xiao Yuan interrupted the call with Mingshu because a team member came in a hurry and said that Tang Yuan wanted to see the person in charge of the serious crime team.
Tang Yuan is not yet 50 years old this year, but he looks like he is in his 60s or 70s. Although life in the mountains is hard, no matter how hard it is, it is not for this sake.
He is ashamed.
"Are you the person in charge of the serious crime team?" Tang Yuan stared at Xiao Yu'an, his voice trembling a little.
"I am." Xiao Yuan said, "what do you want to tell me?"
"I'm sorry Tingting, I've kept this thing a secret for almost thirty years, and I'm not happy for a day." Tang Yuan lowered his eyelids and said, "I worshipped and cultivated Buddha in Haijing Temple, and I repented day and night, but I still can't change my relationship with Liu Sui. The fact that my wife died. I'm tired and I don't want to hide it any longer."
What Tang Yuan said was almost the same as Ming Shu's inference and what he learned from Dan Mei and Qian Da.
More than 30 years ago, Tang Yuan first met Zhou Tingting, but after getting married, he found out that he did not like women. The appearance of Liu Sui, a Chinese teacher at the same school, made Tang Yuan finally realize the passion of life.
The relationship between the two was very secret at first, and no one knew about it, but the paper could not contain the fire, and Zhou Tingting gradually discovered the abnormality.
Tang Yuan is a weak and traditional person in his bones. He felt guilty for cheating in marriage. Under Zhou Tingting's crying, he finally decided to break up with Liu Sui.
However, Liu Sui said that he had left his job, cut off ties with his family, cut off all escape routes, and just wanted to be with him.
Tang Yuan was in a dilemma. Liu Sui reassured him that he could solve it.
Soon, Tang Yuan actually learned that Liu Sui became a monk.
He thought that Liu Sui had given up on this relationship, so he tried to let it go and ran a small family together with Zhou Tingting.
But two months later, Zhou Tingting died in a pond.
The police said that Zhou Tingting fell into the water, but he knew better than anyone that it was Liu Sui who killed Zhou Tingting.
After taking care of Zhou Tingting's funeral, Tang Yuan also became a monk and spent the day and night with Liu Sui in Haijing Temple.
But before the Buddha, they have all become demons.
"I'm sorry for Liu Sui, but it's also him. I'm sorry first." In the end, Tang Yuan said to Xiao Yu'an.
Knowing that Tang Yuan had confessed himself, Liu Sui was not surprised at all, and said with a wry smile: "It's not just him, I'm tired too. What's the use of cultivating Buddhahood, even if a murderer cultivates Buddhahood for a lifetime, isn't he still a murderer? ? Zhou Tingting was pushed down the pond by me, and it has nothing to do with Tang Yuan. At most, he is a non-reporter, so don't embarrass him."
After a moment of silence, Liu Sui suddenly raised his head, his eyes were very clear, "But this is the case related to the two of us. The case on Qiyue Mountain has nothing to do with us, and the disappearance of Master Jingchen has nothing to do with us."
Liangxi City.
Xu Chun left the mental hospital where Yin Xiaofeng had been treated, and immediately called Mingshu.
Jiulin Psychological Clinic.
The phone on the table buzzed and vibrated for a long time, but it was not picked up.
The passing assistant reminded softly, "Mr. Luo?"
Luo Yi then came back to his senses, took his eyes away from the yellowing ginkgo leaves outside the window, smiled at the assistant, and picked up the phone.
