8. Episode 8
Bai Xin knew she couldn't escape.
This is a psychological defeat method, which uses the hints of the things that the person concerned about the most to cause the other party to panic, so as to achieve their own unknown goals.
It's just that Bai Xin can't be sure for the time being, whether he is playing tricks, or whether he has a plan for the future - step by step, straight to the heart.
Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to be reckless.
Bai Xin no longer worries about whether it will attract Shen Bo's attention, she is the most suspicious of him, and he has already set his sights on her.
Bai Xinfang went out: "Mr. Shen, wait a minute." I would like to ask you a question, why did you look for the two deceased before they died? ”
Shen Bo chuckled, meaning unclear.
"I'm a bank clerk, and both of them mortgaged their mortgages before they died, and they deferred repayment when they were due," he said. So, I'm just urging it instead of the bank and handing over some documents, and if you want to check it, you can find it. ”
"Oh...... I see. Bai Xin was slightly disappointed, but she couldn't, without evidence, she couldn't do anything, intuition can sometimes avoid a lot of detours, but sometimes it is the most deadly.
She cheered up and smiled: "Okay, Mr. Shen will go slowly, and I will go to work first." ”
Bai Xin said goodbye and was about to leave again, just after walking a few steps, there was an interrupting voice behind him.
"Also, there's syrup stuck to the ends of your hair." Shen Bo closed his eyes, as if enjoying the purest and freshest air, sniffed around, and sighed: "It's the smell of mint." ”
Bai Xin was shocked, she stroked the ends of her hair, and sure enough, there was a sticky texture, it was syrup.
When she smelled it, it turned out to be the smell of mint.
At such a distance, how could Shen Bo smell her body? Was it Shen Bo's warning, so he knew the taste of candy, or did this person really have such a keen five senses?
Bai Xin licked her lower lip, she bowed to Shen Bo, said goodbye, and left in a hurry.
It would be better to run away first, she didn't want to stay there for a moment.
Bai Xin muttered in her heart: Being able to get syrup on it and not let her notice it must be something that can be done close to her, and the syrup has dried up, only a sticky touch, indicating that it has been dyed for a while. Where did she meet the man codenamed Peppermint?
Or is it that the man has been following her.
Why?
Why just follow her?
Did she find something?
Bai Xin didn't know what was going on, she shampooed the end of her hair with water, and washed it again and again, not wanting to leave any traces.
Bai Xin always felt that he had inadvertently gotten into big trouble, and he fell into the abyss step by step.
After getting off work, Bai Xin planned to go home, but he couldn't help it, and stopped in front of Su Mu's door again.
It was her private work, but she troubled Su Mu again and again, and it was false to say that she was not guilty, but at this time, she couldn't find a second person she could rely on and contact.
If she wants to rely on Su Mu, she can't think of a reason. It's just a neighbor, no relatives and no reason, why bother others so much?
"Click."
The door opened, and Su Mu reached out a slender hand, as if inviting her to enter the door.
Bai Xin was startled and hesitated, "Can I come in?" ”
Su Mu nodded, and the door was wide open to welcome her arrival.
Bai Xin couldn't help but asked, "Teacher Su, I want to ask why you know that I'm outside every time?" ”
"My instincts weren't that good."
"What does that mean?"
"So I couldn't guess you're out there," he paused, adding, "I know because I saw it." I don't have a cat's eye on the door, it's a camera. ”
Bai Xin suddenly realized: "I see, this is what Mr. Su modified himself?" ”
"yes, that's easy."
"......" Bai Xin was speechless, is it easy to open the door?
Bai Xin was ruthless and said, "Teacher Su, why don't I pay for your food, I usually eat outside, and I'm not embarrassed to eat at your house." ”
"Yes, just give it according to the takeaway money."
Su Mu said as he sliced the tofu into a thin layer and spread it out in the oil pan to fry it until it was yellow and clear.
Since he agreed, then Bai Xin ate calmly, and she would never be as embarrassed as before, she didn't eat overlord meals.
"Make a list." Su Mu said in the crackling sound of frying.
"What?" Bai Xin was stunned, and he didn't react for a while.
"You have the right to choose a few dishes of your choice, and I usually make them for you."
"Hmm!" Bai Xin wrote and drew on the paper, added a few dishes, walked a few strokes, and suddenly remembered the matter, "Teacher Su, I met that man again today." He was interrogated, but the alibi was strong, but he was always hinting at me about mints. And I have mints on the ends of my hair, and I don't know when I got it. ”
Su Mu didn't speak, as if he was thinking, but he didn't seem to care.
Bai Xin asked for nothing, and his mood was also depressed, so he could only remain silent.
After about ten minutes, Su Mu suddenly said, "After dinner, I have a general understanding of what is going on." ”
Bai Xin was pleasantly surprised, and even the speed of eating was twice as fast as usual.
She diligently helped Su Mu wash the dishes, sat down in the living room, and asked, "Teacher Su, you say, I listened carefully, and I definitely didn't desert." ”
"I never teach privately," Su Mu glanced at her and said, "Late-night tutoring will make an exception this time, you need to keep it secret, don't say it." ”
Bai Xin was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Su Mu was joking. At present, many middle and high schools strictly prohibit teachers from setting up private classes and tutoring students at high prices.
She nodded: "Teacher Su, don't worry." God knows, you know, I know. ”
Su Mu didn't talk to her, he moved the whiteboard again, and wrote the first sentence with an oily pen: Evidence is justice.
Su Mu asked: "A total of two people died, referred to as A and B, and the intersection between them is that they both received high insurance money for homicide, right?" ”
"Yes, and they were all in debt and mortgaged their homes. The man I met was a bank clerk, and he got the information from their files, and he could easily get the address information. Bai Xin was afraid that Su Mu would miss something, so he added it all in one go.
"The point is not the cause, but the way to die."
Su Mu pointed and pushed the glasses that were about to slip off. His phalanges are slightly curled, revealing a beautiful moist white, a little more popular, like a moist and clear cream.
Bai Xin seemed to be a hand control, and he was suddenly attracted again.
It wasn't until she met Su Mu's gaze that she was shocked and said, "I'm listening carefully, it's ......."
"I really don't understand why someone is so obsessed with human body parts," Su Mu said seriously, "Have you ever heard of some serial killers who take limbs or skin as skewers?" ”
"I've seen a lot of movies in the movies."
"It's an unusual hobby that shouldn't be criticized, but it's not something to approve of. And if the affection is too strong, there will be a possessive feeling, referred to as collection," Su Mu finally got to the point, he pursed his lips and asked, "And you, pay attention to my hand more than once, do you like it to the point where you want to cut it off and collect it?" ”
"......" Bai Xin said, she seems to really like good-looking hands, but this doesn't mean that she is the kind of pervert who can cut off her hands.
"Even if you liked it, I wouldn't agree to it. So, Miss Bai, please give up. Su Mu was talking about this kind of topic very seriously, he seemed to really consider this issue seriously and rigorously, and politely rejected her.
This person is really ...... It's a bit elusive.
Bai Xin coughed dryly and said, "Teacher Su, don't worry, I won't think about your hands." Uh, I'll do my best to forget about it and restore a normal life, so can you continue to take the case and stop wasting time here? ”
"Okay, let's move on." Su Mu's face softened slightly, and he seemed to breathe a big sigh of relief.
Bai Xin's mood was slightly complicated, and he didn't know what to say.
"The way B died, I saw on the news, there were blood stains splashed around him from struggle, his wrists were tied, his veins were cut and bled out, causing excessive blood loss and death."
"Hmm."
"But around, there is not a single blank space, not even a slightly different place for blood stains, and the splattered blood is perfectly shaped, as if it was done in one go."
"That's right, if the murderer squats there first and cuts his wrist, and the deceased struggles later, first of all, there will be a place on the ground that is blocked by the murderer and there will be no blood splashed, and secondly, even if you get out of the way, the form and color of the blood will be different from the first time."
"So what can be deduced?"
Bai Xin suddenly realized: "That means that the deceased completed the cutting of the veins by himself, and did not pretend to be someone else's hand." ”
Su Mu nodded in agreement and continued: "The topic will go back to A's way of dying, A did not take drugs to guide weakness or coma, which means that he was awake when he was killed, but when he was awake, he was strangled by his neck, and there were no scratches on his neck that struggled strongly. What does this mean? ”
"Ah, I see. This shows that A is willing to die, and may even be ...... Suicide. Yes, only suicide will form a half-circle strangulation marks, hanging is different from strangulation marks, hanging cervical vertebrae cracking has only one form, and strangulation has many kinds, which can be simulated as hanging scars. And it's just a half-circle strangulation mark, which can't be borrowed, and it's difficult to cause it anyway, so it can be deduced that A is self-killing. ”
"That's right, looking at B, doesn't she look like she killed herself? It's just a mark of homicide that strangled his wrist. ”
Bai Xin said: "Their purpose is to cause him to kill and defraud the compensation? ”
"It's possible."
"It's just mints, what's the matter? What about death calls? Or the one who takes the newspaper after death. ”
Su Mu raised his eyes and whispered: "I once said that dead people can't do anything, so it means that there are other people." ”
"Is there anyone else helping them with this murder illusion?" Bai Xin finally understood, "Yes, that's right! And in this way, the person who stuffed the mints later could perfectly miss the time of death, and there was perfect alibi evidence, and the police could not find his head. ”
Bai Xin understood everything, and she was able to explain why it was the deceased's own message, not the murderer's patchwork.
Because the murderer and the deceased had already colluded with each other, they left a message in advance and asked the murderer to play the death call, creating a suspenseful illusion of homicide. The screw eye found in the living room of the deceased A was also intended to be used as a device for hanging, so it was necessary to choose that height, and it would be handled by the murderer after the matter was completed.
And the person after death is a first-class play directed and rehearsed by the murderer.
He wanted no trace, and there was a lot of suspense.
Bai Xin didn't expect it to be such a big drama, and while he figured it out, he didn't feel cold.
Su Mu glanced at her, but said very considerately: "Don't be afraid. ”
"Well, I'm not afraid." Bai Xin thanked him for comforting himself.
"Even if you are targeted, you will not die tonight, because judging by the man's behavior, it seems that he is still watching and has no intention of making a move. So, Miss Bai, you shouldn't be able to die for a while. ”
Bai Xin glanced at Su Mu, the other party was still calm, he didn't realize that he had said the wrong thing, and took a sip of water slowly, closed his eyes and rested.
Bai Xin knew that he was unintentional, and for a while, she endured it, and she chose to remain silent.
