Chapter 22 The Devil Appears
"I was just in junior high school, and my parents were out running errands together one day, and they were in a car accident on the road, and they both died on the spot. I will always remember the last time I saw my parents in the morgue! Two pale and cold corpses! For a long time, I had nightmares every night! I saw my mother covered in blood!" Shui Bingyu said in a trembling voice.
The room was silent, and after about ten minutes, Hao Ming broke the silence and continued to ask, "Is your father good to you?"
"Actually, I don't really remember my father. I have limited time to meet him, and I can't talk about whether he treats me well or not. Not very close anyway. Shui Bingyu replied.
"Then how is your parents' relationship?" Hao Ming continued.
"I always feel like my mother is afraid of my father......" Shui Bingyu suddenly felt that something was wrong in the middle of speaking, why did she unconsciously follow Hao Ming's rhythm, why would she answer his questions about her family affairs?
"Professor Hao, I didn't have time to answer your questions about my family affairs! I've already told you what I'm afraid of, so it's time for you to answer my questions, right?" Shui Bingyu asked sharply.
"Okay! You can ask me a question you want to know. Hao Ming replied.
"Did Liu Mengbai do this series of bloody cases, are you his mentor and his accomplices?" asked Shui Bingyu.
"I've already told you clearly, the Blood Book case has nothing to do with me! Although I am Liu Mengbai's doctoral supervisor, how can I be an accomplice with him! You have wasted an opportunity to ask something valuable! If you want to know more, or continue to tell me what are the other things you are afraid of!" Hao Ming said.
Shui Bingyu knew that time was pressing, and if she didn't do what Hao Ming said, she wouldn't get any key clues! Not to mention how to save Cheng Lu and herself.
She thought for a moment and said, "When I was in my second year of high school, my adoptive mother died in a gas tank explosion, and I became a helpless orphan again!
"Oh my God, your background is simply miserable!" Cheng Lu on the side couldn't help but pity.
"Actually, it's nothing! Don't you see that I've survived it too? Haven't I survived until now? So, you can't give up hope of survival at any time!" Shui Bingyu took the opportunity to cheer Cheng Lu up.
"Professor Hao, are you satisfied this time? You have spied on other people's privacy! Tear open the wounds in other people's hearts! Now, please continue to answer my question, what kind of person is Liu Mengbai? Why did he hurt these innocent girls?" Shui Bingyu asked coldly.
At this time, in a room full of surveillance TV, a black figure leaned back in a chair and silently watched the three prey on the surveillance TV.
When he listened to the conversation between Shui Bingyu and Hao Ming, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he murmured softly: "You old madman, I finally understand why you are so interested in that little girl!"
Immediately, he burst out laughing, laughing and dancing wildly, "Baby, baby, you'll wake up soon!"
"Liu Mengbai, he is a chemistry genius!! is my most proud protégé!" Hao Ming also replied at this time.
"He's still a madman!" Cheng Lu suddenly answered in a frightened voice.
"Yes, he's a madman! Like me, he's a madman!" Hao Ming laughed out loud.
"He's a chemistry genius, he's a madman!, what does that have to do with him killing those innocent girls?" Shui Bingyu continued.
"Have you forgotten that I once asked you if you believe that there is a potion in this world that can bring people back to life? You should be good at chemistry, right? Have you studied the chemical formulas I once wrote on paper?" Hao Ming did not directly answer Shui Bingyu's question, but asked her.
Shui Bingyu thought for a moment, and suddenly she suddenly realized: "Could it be that he wants to use the blood of these girls to extract stem cells and make a medicine that can bring people back to life?"
When Hao Ming heard this, he couldn't help but nod approvingly.
"However, why do I think there is still a chemical reagent missing from that chemical formula?" Shui Bingyu wondered.
"Yes, you really didn't disappoint me! This chemical formula really lacks a reagent!" Hao Ming said approvingly.
"That's why he arrested you here!" Shui Bingyu said.
"Ghost, ghost, there are ghosts in the lake!" Cheng Lu suddenly screamed.
Shui Bingyu hurriedly moved her body to Cheng Lu's side little by little, and she looked up at the window.
I saw a small boat rowing slowly towards the shore in the lake outside the window. There was really a black-clothed "female ghost" on the ship, with a hideous face and bloodshot eyes, as if she was straight and staring at them blankly!
"Jade Apartment, this is a room in the Jade Apartment!" Shui Bingyu said suddenly.
"How do you know?" asked Cheng Lu, still in a trembling voice.
yes, how did she know? She knew too late.
Shui Bingyu raised her voice and said, "Liu Mengbai, it's Sister-in-law Liu's sick husband, right?" She found that when she spoke loudly, the back of her skull would explode in pain. She focused on feeling it, and the hand behind her didn't feel a tingling sensation except that it was bound by a nylon rope.
Shui Bingyu carefully recalled everything that had happened before, especially the few contacts with Sister-in-law Liu, her tall figure, her high-pitched voice, and the silk scarf she always wore around her neck!
"Actually, Sister-in-law Liu is Liu Mengbai, right? The "female ghost" in the island in the middle of the lake is also played by him, right?" Shui Bingyu suddenly realized.
A kind familiar voice said, "Big girl, you are so smart!"
"Sure enough, it's you. Shui Bingyu heard that it was Sister-in-law Liu, no, it was Liu Mengbai.
She thought to herself, how would Liu Mengbai have to make careful arrangements to be able to carry all three of them here by herself? She believed that Meng Xingchen would notice her disappearance sooner or later, and sooner or later he would block the surrounding area of Huxin Island to search for him, but it was obviously too late.
"Of course it's me," Liu Mengbai, dressed in black, with a bloody face, took a few steps forward and squatted down, "Big sister, you are so smart, sometimes you are terriblely smart, but most of the time it is pathetic, so sad that it makes me feel distressed." I've been following you for a long time - every girl of mine has been followed by me for a long time. ”
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to take anyone's life? No matter what you say, you can't hide the real purpose of your crime. Really, do you need me to say it?" Shui Bingyu actually has nothing to "say", it's just that she is not facing a killer who is crazy to the extreme, and she knows that there is no other way than to delay time.
"Oh, hehe," Liu Mengbai laughed mechanically, "really? do you really know? Or are you stalling for time? Don't forget, I just said that I know your adventures and your skills. So I've put a string in my crazy, hopeless, brain, to promise you a quick fix. ”
This is a murderer who is extremely smart, and he will not give Shui Bingyu more time.
Shui Bingyu said: "You do it, satisfy your last crazy desire." ”
Liu Mengbai was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Who do you think of me? Do you regard me as a devil who kills people without blinking? I never want to harm people!"
"Mengbai, stop it! You turn yourself in now, honestly explain the past problems, there may still be room for negotiation and compromise with the police and the inspection department, and you can even save your reputation, think clearly, there is still a chance, don't go too far!" Hao Ming suddenly said.
"Don't say it, my dear mentor, you're right. Liu Mengbai obviously didn't listen to Hao Ming's advice, "I'll ask you a question, and if you tell me, I'll release you and even ......turn yourself in."
"Tell me, what is the last chemical ingredient of that chemical formula?"
Liu Mengbai stood up, with an extra sharp scalpel in his hand, "Be quick, answer within twenty seconds, otherwise I will start bleeding this little girl." ”
"Mengbai, wake up! Why haven't you given up until now? People can't be resurrected after death! How can there be the last ingredient? That chemical formula can't be established at all!" Hao Ming persuaded bitterly.
"I lost everything because I believed in this, didn't you learn your lesson?" he continued to persuade bitterly.
Liu Mengbai interrupted sharply: "Shut up, you don't want this little girl's life, do you? In other words, you don't plan to take your daughter's life, right?"
"What did you say?" Hao Ming and Shui Bingyu asked out loud almost together.
"Tsk! It's really worthy of being a father and daughter! Even the same words!hahahaha!" Liu Mengbai laughed.
"Liu Mengbai, what nonsense are you talking about? How could Hao Ming be my father? I have a father!" Shui Bingyu said sharply.
"You have a father? Yes, you have a father! But your dead father is not your biological father at all! Has he ever had the kind of affection that a father has for his daughter? Have you ever felt fatherly love since childhood?" asked Liu Mengbai.
Shui Bingyu pondered and was silent.
"My dear teacher, I really didn't know why you were so interested in this little girl, and you didn't hesitate to come to me in person in order to let me go! I just listened to your conversation, and I suddenly realized! You are so interested in her family affairs, and you are so eager to know about the feelings of her parents. You'd rather be misunderstood by this little girl that you're intruding on her privacy, and let her tell her own fears, so that she can dare to face the uneasiness in her heart, so that she will no longer be tormented by her inner fear and insecurity! Plus, you still keep a photo of her mother when she was young! All of this can only show that she, Shui Bingyu, is your long-lost biological daughter!" Liu Mengbai said slowly.
Shui Bingyu listened to his words and thought to herself in her heart.
Liu Mengbai's analysis does make some sense! This is also a very reasonable explanation: Why does Hao Ming have a photo of his mother? Why did he live with his grandfather when he was a child? Why did his father never get close to him?
As for talking about your inner fears, as a professional in psychology, how could you not know that this is a very effective way to treat and overcome your inner fears!
Could it be that this is really Hao Ming's good intentions?
Could it be that Hao Ming is really his biological father?
"Professor Hao, is what he said true?Is all of this true when Liu Mengbai said it?" Shui Bingyu almost screamed.
