Madness of the Heart

Chapter 33 Demon Hunting (33)

Dongye City, Xicheng District.

In the middle of the night, the light and shadow of the “Black Leaf Sting” bar flew, the heads were crowded, and the rhythmic sound of music overwhelmed all the whispers, almost overturning the roof covered with artificial cobwebs. The crazy young man twisted his body to the drum, and the beer bottle in his hand flashed in the dazzling light.

This bar is one of the most famous night scenes in Xicheng District. It is said that the owner is quite background and can speak on both roads. The security inside and outside the store is first-rate. Once there is a disturbance, the police will not wait for the police to arrive and well-trained security guards. The thugs will “clean up” them all.

Today, there was a theme performance at the bar. The security team leader Wang Ge transferred the best group of people in the team to the infield, and the rest stayed outside.

In winter, the heat is late in summer in Dongye City. The sun is hot when the sun shines. It is still hot when the sun is gone. Although the inner court is crowded and noisy, there is air-conditioning, so it is better than standing outside.

Before the performance started, Zhang Xiong deliberately found Brother Wang and asked the other party to let him go to the infield in his crappy Mandarin.

Brother Wang didn’t agree, patted his shoulder and said: “You can’t hold back inside. I know you are good at it, but don’t talk about the men who are about 1.8 meters tall. Even women who wear high heels are taller than you. ”

Zhang Xiong’s face turned black when he heard it, but Brother Wang was the little boss here, and even his immediate boss. He had just arrived and had only false certificates on him. He finally got a job, and he didn’t dare to stand in front of Brother Wang.

The night in the city is not the same as in my hometown. When I arrive at night in my hometown, the sky is pitch black, but the night sky here is purple-red.

Listening to the music and screams behind him, Zhang Xiong stared at a sky invisible to a star. After wiping off his sweat with a wet towel again, he gritted his teeth and cursed.

“What’s the matter?” Xianzi, who was also placed outside, turned around and said with a smile: “Brother Xiong, are you so angry?”

Zhang Xiong stroked his shirt irritably—he didn’t care about it well, “Aren’t you hot?”

Xianzi laughed, “What does it matter if you are hot? Isn’t it just sweating? Just lose weight. Brother Wang lets me in, I don’t even bother to go in. It’s crowded, it’s not as empty and comfortable as we are here.”

“But there is air conditioning inside.” Zhang Xiong’s shirt was soaked, his body odor was coming out, and the inferior perfume couldn’t cover it.

“Tsk, what about air-conditioning?” Xianzi said, “Brother Xiong, I think you always like to stand at the air-conditioning outlet, just like when I was a kid. Why, your home doesn’t have air-conditioning?”

Zhang Xiong shook his head, “No.”

Now Zai was happy, “How remote is that? By the way, you don’t seem to have said yet, where is your hometown?”

Zhang Xiong was about to speak when he heard a noise from the front door of the bar.

They are guarding the side entrance of the bar, which is not short of distance away from the main entrance.

“Fuck me, why did the police car come?” Xianzi saw the flashing red and blue lights, “Didn’t the boss have acquaintances in the bureau? Why did he come to check us suddenly?”

Zhang Xiong’s pupils tightened, his complexion suddenly changed.

He seemed to want to run, but he was observing the police’s movements.

Now Zai stretched his neck, “They went inside, why are they?”

The security guard on duty at the main entrance ran over and said that it appeared to be a routine inspection and that the boss knew it.

Xianzi immediately relieved his nervousness, “I said, we are the safest here.”

Zhang Xiong also followed with a sigh of relief.

But five minutes later, Brother Wang led several policemen out of the side door suddenly, his eyes swept from the security guard, and he stretched out his hand and said, “There.”

The sound was actually very soft, at least Xianzi didn’t hear it, but Zhang Xiong looked like a dangerous animal, with a chill in his eyes, and turned and ran quickly on the road.

At the moment he turned around, two ununiformed policemen rushed out from the vicinity of Brother Wang at the same time, their bodies tore through the dark night, and went straight to the fugitives!

“Zhang Xiong!” Brother Wang shouted and chased him out.

Suddenly, police cars were speeding on the busy streets, sirens roared, and the moving vehicles were forced to stop, and there were sharp brakes one after another, mixed with people’s screams.

Zhang Xiong shuttled in the traffic, like an extremely sensitive ape.

A taxi rushed towards him like a loss of control, he dodged, and turned directly over the hood of the taxi.

After standing still, he looked back abruptly and found that he hadn’t been able to get rid of the two police officers!

The scars on his cheeks looked even more hideous at the moment, as if they were about to come alive, and strange dialects poured out of his mouth, like vicious spells.

The siren was getting closer, and the police chasing him were getting closer. He hesitated for a moment before he opened the door of the taxi and dragged the driver out.

The driver was thrown to the ground, shaking in horror.

“You **** dare to hijack a car!”

It was the policeman running at the front that killed him with this sound. Zhang Xiong’s pupils suddenly tightened, and before he hit the accelerator, he saw the policeman kicking and kicking the windowpane.

Ming Shu shouted: “Lu Yanzhou!”

“Come!” Lu Yanzhou followed closely, almost repeating Zhang Xiong’s action just before dragging the driver, and slamming Zhang Xiong to the ground.

Zhang Xiong quickly turned over, still wanting to resist, Ming Shu’s gun had been aimed at his head.

The arrest started when Yi Fei discovered that Zhan Huanxiong had left Liu Qicheng.

Zhou Yuan led the technical investigation team to use portrait tracking and found that Zhan Huanxiong arrived in Dongye City on June 5, and then appeared near Luo Xiangfu’s house many times, and followed Luo Xiangfu far away when he went out to take pictures.

In mid-June, Zhan Huanxiong started working at the “Black Leaf Sting” bar.

After Ming Shu personally went to Zhan Huanxiong’s home in Maoyi Village, he hurried back to Dongye City and found Ye Chi, the boss of “Black Leaf with Sting”. This person looks elegant, but he was actually a man on the road in his early years. A few years ago, he experienced a case and became Mingshu’s “teammate” in a certain sense, providing the police with a few clues from time to time. It is for this reason that “black leaves have thorns” has never been investigated by the police.

“Is there a problem with Zhang Xiong?” Ye Chi flipped through the employee information, “He only came last month.”

Ming Shu said with a cold face: “The documents are all **** fake, so you let him come to your site as a security guard?”

Ye Chi smiled and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, “I am a place where dirt and dirt are hidden, don’t you know it best? If everyone who comes to work with me is innocent, I can help you. Are you busy? Besides, I’m not responsible for recruiting. If you don’t come to me today, I don’t even know that I have this number under my hand.”

Ming Shu scratched his eyes, and Ye Chi immediately smiled and said, “Just kidding, I still know that there is this number, but I don’t know that he is related to the case you are investigating.”

Ming Shu called the manager and found out after asking that on the day Luo Xiangfu was killed, Zhan Huanxiong was supposed to work, but changed shifts with a colleague on the grounds that he was unwell.

One day after that, Zhan Huanxiong still did not return to his post.

Because of Zhan Huanxiong’s special status, the arrest was carried out jointly by the serious crime team and the special police detachment. Lu Yanzhou put handcuffs on Zhan Huanxiong, and said to Ming Shu: “Good fellow, too **** you can run! Xiao Ming, you can run with these two legs, faster than Lao Tzu!”

Serious crime team interrogation room.

Zhan Huanxiong’s sitting posture is different from that of most suspects who have ever sat here-his neck is pressed down and his shoulders are high, like a hunting beast.

“Zhan Huanxiong.” Ming Shu called his name, “Why come to Dongye City?”

The first time he heard his real name in Dongye City, Zhan Huanxiong’s eyes suddenly changed, and his ferocity appeared. The temperament that belonged to the night security guard was gone, replaced by the fierceness of the murderer.

I’ve seen this kind of look.

Zhan Huanxiong is a person who has been on the real battlefield. He has killed people with guns and knives. The fierceness from bones and blood is completely different from the bullies and local snakes in the city.

The recorder was stared for a few times and swallowed instinctively.

Ming Shu was not affected by this aura at all, and repeated: “Why come to Ye City in Winter?”

Probably because he has never seen such a majestic policeman, or he has lingering fear of being pointed at by a pistol not long ago, Zhan Huanxiong asked with that weird accent: “Why did you arrest me?”

“Good question.” Ming Shu sneered, “I have more than one reason to catch you.”

Zhan Huanxiong’s scars twitched.

“You are not a native of our country. Shetu Town gives you preferential treatment and gives you the right to live in Maoyi Village temporarily. But when you register, you should be clear that your scope of activities is limited to Liu Qicheng.” Ming Shu said, “No. Including Dongye City.”

Zhan Huanxiong licked his nails on the table, “Are you going to send me back?”

“Do you want to go back?” Ming Shu asked rhetorically.

Zhan Huanxiong showed a trace of doubt, and shook his head a few seconds later, “It’s good here.”

This answer is somewhat unexpected.

In fact, Zhan Huanxiong’s role as a security guard in “Heiye has a thorn” has already surprised him.

Zhan Huanxiong’s purpose in coming to Ye City in winter was to avenge Luo Xiangfu. Shouldn’t he leave immediately after his revenge? Why stay as a security guard?

Is it following the principle that “the most dangerous place is the safest place”?

Ming Shu thought for a while, no longer planning to circle with Zhan Huanxiong, directly put Luo Xiangfu’s picture on the table, staring at Zhan Huanxiong and said: “You know you can’t leave Liuqi City, but you still come to Dongye City. Your goal is he.”

Zhan Huanxiong’s shoulders and chest were clearly stiff when he saw the person in the photo.

“Is it right?” Ming Shu’s index finger clicked on the photo. “Your country allows multiple concubines, and Shetu Town respects your customs, and the girl you are about to marry is influenced by Luo Xiangfu’s photo and refuses to be with you. Married. He was ashamed and angry, and wanted to use your country’s barbaric methods to avenge Luo Xiangfu.”

Zhan Huanxiong’s arms exploded with blue veins, and his throat let out an angry growl.

“On July 2nd, Luo Xiangfu was killed. You happened to ask for leave on the grounds of physical discomfort.” Mingshu glanced away. “But I think you are in good health. Asking for leave is to do something else, right?”

Zhan Huanxiong yelled: “I didn’t kill Luo Xiangfu!”

Ming Shu squinted, “You don’t seem to be surprised at all about Luo Xiangfu’s murder.”

Zhan Huanxiong’s eyes were wide open and his mouth was speechless.

“Why do you know that he has been killed?” Mingshu’s tone gave people a strong sense of oppression, “Or, Luo Xiangfu was killed by you?”

“It’s not me!” Zhan Huanxiong gasped, as if he wanted to explain, but couldn’t find the right words.

Half a minute later, he uttered a series of Situ dialects. He was very emotional and spoke extremely fast. No one in the entire interrogation room could understand it.

Ming Shu had anticipated this situation a long time ago, and brought Wenli with him when he left Situ Town.

Wenli was invited into the interrogation room. As soon as Zhan Huanxiong saw her, he was quiet in his seat for more than ten seconds, then he patted the table and waved his hands clasped together. His mouth was like a machine gun, and he was sweating while talking.

“He was scolding me.” Wen Li was very nervous, her voice trembling.

Ming Shu comforted him and said, “You don’t have to worry if I am here. Ask me clearly about Luo Xiangfu’s whereabouts when he was killed, and why he went to work in’Heiye’s Sting’.”

The two languages ​​switched back and forth, Wen Li already had sweat on his neck.

Zhan Huanxiong admitted that he came to Dongye City from Shetu Town to avenge Luo Xiangfu, but when he first arrived in Dongye City, he only knew the other party’s surname Luo. He vaguely remembered him because he had seen him from a distance in Shetu Town. I don’t know anything else. So he began to wander around the neighborhood all day long with the street post office as the center.

Compared with Liu Qicheng, the prosperity of Dongye City is beyond Zhan Huanxiong’s cognition. In the process of searching for Luo Xiangfu, he became more reluctant to return to Shetu Town. Shetu town is too poor, and the women in Shetu town are too dark and ugly. Even if she dominates in Shetu town, her family is no more than an earthen house. The summer heat is dying, mosquitoes fly around, and the water leaks when it rains. Living in Dongye City, even if you just work as a security guard in a bar, you can use the air conditioner every day.

Before he found Luo Xiangfu, Zhan Huanxiong took a job as a security guard at the “Black Leaf Sting” bar. Although he is a countryman, his Mandarin is very weird, and his height is not up to the standard, but he is better at being agile and skilled. The captain of the security team, Wang Ge, kept him, and on the first day he went to work, he taught the ruffians who came to make trouble.

There is a staff dormitory in the bar. Zhan Huanxiong first lived there, but he had very little sleep, watched places at night, and spent most of the day looking for Luo Xiangfu on the street.

Looking for someone in Dongye City, relying on this reckless way is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack. Zhan Huanxiong later asked Brother Wang, and Wang said as soon as he heard it—Is it hard to handle? You go to the commercial center and squat. The person you are talking about should be a street photographer. They like to go to that kind of place. Also, aren’t we here close to the popular science playground? You can also go there and see, you should be able to find it.

In late June, Zhan Huanxiong really found Luo Xiangfu in the popular science amusement park.

It is very easy for him to kill Luo Xiangfu, but the time he worked in the bar has made him understand that Dongye City is full of cameras that are not available in Shetu Town, and the detective is a hundred times more fierce than the film police in Shetu Town. .

He once went to see the Xicheng District Bureau and the Dongye City Bureau, and the stately building made him daunted.

How to kill Luo Xiangfu without being discovered?

He is thinking about it every day.

Either do it completely unconsciously, or leave quickly after exposing some flaws, anyway, as long as you return to Shetu Town, you will be the king of the mountain. If you don’t help, you will go to the mountain to hide for a while.

He was not sure about the former situation. The latter situation was planned before he came, but after enjoying the bustling Dongye City, he no longer wanted to leave here.

After hesitating left and right, the revenge plan has not been implemented.

Zhan Huanxiong didn’t dare to make a move easily, but he couldn’t let go of Luo Xiangfu. Later, he simply rented the cheapest house in the old housing area near Luo’s house and quietly got acquainted with the surrounding surveillance.

Before Luo Xiangfu was killed, he had discovered which public cameras were decorative, and where most of the blind spots were. At the same time, he also discovered that Luo Xiangfu was always alone.

This kind of “lonely old man” is the easiest to solve.

But what Zhan Huanxiong did not expect was that Luo Xiangfu’s enemy was not the only one.

On July 2, Zhan Huanxiong suffered a gastrointestinal illness and asked his manager for leave after multiple diarrhea. But when it was time to go to work, his condition had alleviated.

The request for leave was through the manager, but he knew that Xianzi was the one who changed shifts with him, so he contacted Xianzi and planned to change the shift back.

Xianzai was very reluctant, “Brother Xiong, you can’t do this. I have pushed today’s things. If you want to change it back, you are not enough brothers.”

Zhan Huanxiong didn’t know much about the people in the city. Seeing that Xianzi didn’t want to change it back, he felt that it was no big deal whether it was changed or not, so he hung up the phone.

At this time, he was about to enter the night, and he lay in a simple rental house for a while, remembering that Wang Ge said that street photographers like to shoot beautiful women in the evening and night, so he quickly got up and planned to follow Luo Xiangfu.

He knew where Luo Xiangfu lived, and when he went to the neighborhood, the lights of Luo’s house were not turned on.

Luo Xiangfu is not at home, so he must have taken pictures somewhere.

It’s not that he has no brains at all. After thinking about it, he feels that Luo Xiangfu, an old man, should not go too far when he goes out to take pictures. The Nancheng District of Beicheng District does not consider it. The most likely thing is to gather in a few streets in Xicheng District. Ground.

After demarcating the scope, Zhan Huanxiong set off, but he couldn’t catch Luo Xiangfu until about 10 o’clock in the night.

The bus in Dongye City closes at 11 o’clock-except for the night shift special line. Zhan Huanxiong thought that only the popular science playground had not been there yet, and felt that it was so late. Even if Luo Xiangfu went there, he should have left now.

Whether to go or return, Zhan Huanxiong hesitated for a moment, and finally headed towards the popular science playground.

But it was not entirely because he wanted to find Luo Xiangfu, but because he really had nothing to do.

When the security guards chatted, they said that because the popular science playground is not monitored, people occasionally “field battle” there.

Zhan Huanxiong not only wanted to take a look, but also wanted to play it in person.

After coming to Ye City for so long, he couldn’t hold back anymore.

But when he arrived at the popular science amusement park, he saw Luo Xiangfu.

To his surprise, Luo Xiangfu didn’t carry a DSLR and looked around.

At that time, no one could be seen in the playground. Zhan Huanxiong became suspicious and immediately turned up a tree and covered himself with dense branches.

This kind of thing is not easy for ordinary people, but he has been a scout, and climbing trees is an essential skill.

Luo Xiangfu’s expression was weird, as if he was waiting for someone.

Soon, a man in a raincoat and hat appeared. TA strangled Luo Xiangfu’s neck from behind, and put his right hand directly on Luo Xiangfu’s nose and mouth.

Soon, Luo Xiangfu fell down.

The raincoat man lifted Luo Xiangfu’s clothes, took photos of Luo Xiangfu’s body, and then continuously hit Luo Xiangfu’s neck with a slender stick.

Zhan Huanxiong witnessed a murder and subsequent hiding in the tree.

“You’re lying!” Fang Yuanhang got up angrily, “If the facts are as you said, why didn’t you call the police? You made up a story that is full of loopholes. The man in the raincoat is not someone else, but you!”
