Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Glass Bottle Exploded
"Hey~ How is Xiao Su at school?" Bai Ling called Su Ranran's phone.
"Huh?...... Well, ok. "I replied a little reluctantly.
"Someone bullied you, or is it that teacher?" Bai Ling remembered the bastard teacher who was a member of the "Cave Tiger" nine times out of ten, and had asked Su Ranran a lot of strange questions before.
"No, it's still the same after all...... And it won't change because I've been off for a while. Su Ranran was a little depressed.
When the bell rang at the end of class, when everyone was chatting, she could never join the conversations.
She is still that "stinky thing" in the eyes of everyone after all, but because of someone's threat, she didn't dare to bully her openly. But now, isn't it much different from cold violence......
It's long since she gave up, and chatting with others or something will only make her more frustrated. No one would want to ignore her.
It's good to get through these few months to graduate, then take the exam, and then read on, and everything is as it is, after all, everything is impossible.
"Hmm......" Bai Ling didn't know what to comfort for a while, after all, she hadn't experienced campus life for a long time, and she was tossed by all kinds of tosses before she finished high school, and ended up being eighteen years old who should have been rich and happy in all kinds of killings.
Bai Ling was eighteen years old, that is, fourteen years ago, the "White Ghost" began to appear from this moment, killing countless people, each time the death toll was tens and hundreds.
Although it was not a good thing, her talent for killing people was truly unmatched, and she never left any clues at the scene, nor was she noticed by anyone. In this way, she will also shout "tired", so tired that she doesn't want to do anything, so she was deliberately arrested.
Ahem, back to reality, Bai Ling is still talking on the phone-
"Oh yes, I heard that Xiao Su is going to see your mother? when?" Bai Ling couldn't comfort Su Ranran, so he simply diverted the topic.
"Wow!" Su Ranran was trembling by this question, and let out a magical sound similar to a rooster's crow, "Hmm...... If you can, Sunday ......" The voice became softer as he spoke, and then wilted and fell silent when he spoke.
"Yes," Bai Ling smiled, "I wanted to have a signing session or something that day...... Forget it, let's take a look before we start. β
After that, it can be regarded as having a few words, basically asking Bai Ling to talk to Su Ranran's mother about a few words or something like that - the same as when he gave Zhuang Zixiao a vaccination.
Immediately after the phone hung up, Su Ranran must have been walking slowly on the way back in the cold wind, imagine that under the light of the street lamp, he gradually distanced himself from his classmates, until he was alone in the end.
In the schoolbag is a thick book, with Zhuang Zixiao's tireless daily chat as comfort, and Bai Ling's continuous help as the basis for survival. It's not too bad.
"Are you free on the weekend?" Especially Zhuang Zixiao sent this news.
Eyes back to Bai Lingββ
"Who are you talking to, look at how many changes you have in your expression. Ding Yu watched Bai Ling make a phone call, although she didn't shy away from chatting, after all, it was all small things that didn't need to be hidden.
"Cute Xiao Su," Bai Ling smiled, "Have you seen Officer Ding?"
The two of them stood not far from Ding Yu's house, thinking that they had just said goodbye to the little sister and left, at that time, her black hair seemed to be split in half, half of it was shining in the soft warm yellow of the house, and the other half was rendered the same color by the night, dull.
They were leaning against the wall somewhere, and it happened that Bai Ling said that he wanted to make a phone call, so he stopped. Now the call has just ended.
Ding Yu began to recall the question "Have you seen Xiao Su?" just now, and a candidate instantly appeared in her heart: the one she must have seen at the beginning...... I guess it's her. Think about it this way.
"It's the one who kills ......" The word "kill" just came out and the shape of her mouth was silent, Ding Yu paused, swallowed her saliva and said, "Is it that little girl?" In order to relieve the tense and embarrassing atmosphere, she squeezed out the corners of her mouth and curved slightly.
"Xiao Dingyu, if she just continued, something bad might happen. Bai Ling's smile was a little scary for a while, and I don't know if it was because of the light, because the light of the street lamp illuminated her face into light and dark, and her eyes looked darker, only the pupils emitted a faint red light.
ββ¦β¦ I probably know why. Ding Yu was silent for a while, she wanted to be angry, but after thinking about it carefully, maybe it was really herself who was wrong.
"May I ask?" she asked, using another extremely polite and humble approach, "the kid...... Did you kill someone?" she tried to ask carefully, just in case she touched the white spirit.
Bai Ling didn't have much disgust this time, just sighed, still leaned against the cement wall behind him, glanced at Ding Yu next to him who was tense for various reasons, and nodded slightly: "Hey, I can't refute it." She raised her hands and shook them a few times in mid-air.
I wanted to ask a question and it was over, but I didn't expect the policeman's occupational disease to be committed at this time, habitually, Ding Yu wanted to ask: "Can you listen to the reason?"
The reason why Bai Ling wanted to save Su Ranran, the reason why Su Ranran killed people, or the reason why Su Ranran was clearly in that identity and all the feelings that gave people did not match at all.
"Officer Ding Yu, you can try to tighten a very thin glass bottle and cut a small hole to fill it with water, and try when the bottle will explode. "It's a pretty vivid description, although it's not clear if it's feasible in reality. But at least according to common sense, you can still imagine what a glass bottle would look like.
Ding Yu roughly understood the meaning, "the explosion after too much pressure", so to speak. Whether she herself used excessive behavior to relieve her emotions, I don't know.
"That can't be ......," she tried to say something, but before she could continue, she was interrupted by a sudden thrust.
"Then you can't rely on killing people to vent, this method is to endanger the lives of others......" Bai Ling spoke first, looking up at the night sky without clouds but without stars, and then looked at Ding Yu, "You want to say that, right?"
It's really amazing, it's exactly what Ding Yu thought in her heart, she didn't know what to say, she didn't say anything or make a move, she looked at Bai Ling in a daze, and it was a tacit acquiescence.
It can be understood as ...... The bottle, which had exploded because it had been overfilled with water, exploded, and the flying debris flew towards the neck of the man who had been filled with water and did not stop," Bai Ling clapped his hands at the right time, making a loud sound, which seemed very crisp in the quiet street.
And so on, and then the glass bottle and the man were gone. β
At least Ding Yu completely understood the meaning of these words, and seemed to be beginning to understand, "those people" have a hard time.
You may say, "If you have a hard time, you can kill someone, so what do you want the police to do?", but from a different angle, you will respond to the person who said this, "If a good-hearted person kills a happy criminal who kills someone for no reason, is it true that the prisoner also has a hard time, and then a good person should pay for his life?" - this case is not a hypothesis, but a real thing that happened to someone.
Well, if the above situation really happens, it will definitely be like a debate tournament that will never end the debate, after all, no one can decide which is right or wrong, and it is ultimately up to the "judges" to decide which is right or wrong.
Ding Yu also relented a little after hearing those narratives. Even she herself may never have the opportunity to experience other people's lives in her life, even if she can't truly understand other people's behavior......
That is the "magic" that Bai Ling has as a writer - to be able to make Ding Yu understand what she wants Ding Yu to understand.
Congratulations to Bai Ling, who has straightened up a police lady who only relies on reason, and is finally willing to use her heart instead of 100% obeying and strictly enforcing those ridiculous rules.
Suddenly relieved, Ding Yu suddenly became flustered, put her hand on her chest, and looked at Bai Ling, whose smile had faded: "Ah, I'm just a little curious, I won't say it." It's similar to comfort, because she really can't see the bitterness of Bai Ling's face after the vicissitudes of life.
"Okay, I know," Bai Ling's smile returned to his lips as before, and he tiptoed and touched Ding Yu's head, as if to appease a flustered child, "I was thinking about something else just now." β
"Hmm, what's the matter?" Ding Yu glanced at her, and subconsciously blurted out this question.
"A little envious of Xiao Su...... That's it," Bai Ling straightened up behind his back, put his hands behind his back, and walked a few steps towards Ding Yu, "Thinking that maybe I can have similar treatment if I am born more than ten years later." She chuckled.
"Hey......" Ding Yu didn't continue, "At least...... I don't think you're any bad guy. β
"Yes," Bai Ling smiled brightly, "By the way, Xiao Dingyu had already told me something like that when she was drunk, but-"
"But what?"
"Hmph," she laughed twice, looking at Ding Yu's nervous appearance and thinking it was pretty good, "It's a little more numb." I saw Ding Yu's expression of "Please forget to please treat it as if it never happened!", in short, it's not very good-looking.
This matter can be regarded as the past, and Ding Yu added at the end: "But at least I still remember the agreement clearly." "Sincere eyes don't feel fake.
"Yes, that's good," Bai Ling made a clapping gesture, "What time is it?"
"Hmm?...... Oh, it's past eight o'clock. Ding Yu glanced at the time on her phone. And then after answering, I had a bad premonition in an instant......
"Well, it's not too late," Bai Ling teasingly closed his left eye and only looked at Ding Yu with his right eye, and touched the tip of his chin with his hand, "Are you interested in watching the 'White Ghost' and 'work' up close?"
"Don't, I'm leaving, farewell!" However, just as he was about to start, he was pulled by the back of fate by Bai Ling, and he had to turn around, ah, I felt that the whole person was not good.
However, Bai Ling was even more interested in this reaction: "It's okay, the place is quite close, maybe you can take two pieces of evidence or something?"
"Hey, you did it on purpose, right?" Ding Yu had clearly promised those ......
"Well, deliberately," Bai Ling replied very simply, then took the hand of the police officer and left, "I just want to see how those who were killed by me will react when they see the police watching coldly." β
"Bad taste, you!"
"Oh, don't worry about it, let's go~"
