Because of Wei Kai's words, I suddenly remembered the scene when Xiaozhi discovered Ban Que's secret, and it was also the first time I condemned my selfishness in my heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although when he was in the hospital, Ban Que agreed to let Xiaozhi know what he was doing. But in fact, Ban Que was still deceiving Xiaozhi, just talking to Xiaozhi about inconsequential things and concealing the grievances between the two fathers. Xiao Oda really believed Ban Que's words, and even sympathized with Ban Que to some extent, she didn't know that Ban Que's father was the murderer of her family, and she didn't know that her father and the boss also returned this sin to each other. All she knew was that Ban Que had lost her important relatives because of the struggle within the gang. The version also hid his relationship with other people from Xiaozhi. So from beginning to end, before Xiaozhi knew the truth, she agreed that cooperation was just a secret between her and Ban Que. She wanted to help Ban Que win his home, so she fully accepted every dangerous mission, just to be able to help Ban Que plunder power back little by little, after he went deep into the core step by step and saw the bloody truth, her shock can be imagined.

These are all in my plan, Ban Que is gullible and naïve to Xiaozhi, and even laughs at Xiaozhi's desperate love behind his back, thinking that he can slowly control the boss's actions through Xiaozhi's help, but I don't know, through each Xiaozhi's help, I am understanding his plan step by step, in addition to being able to protect himself, on the surface, I am asking Xiaozhi to help him, and in private, I am uniting Wei Kai and Zheng Min, and getting along with each step of his plan is countermeasured. I thought my arrangement was seamless, but in the end, I lost to my arrogance.

The negligence occurred in a case that Xiaozhi and Ban Que were investigating together at that time. Xiaozhi was a college freshman at the time, three years of high school, Xiaozhi was admitted to the same university as Banque through his own efforts, and finally when Banque was about to graduate, he realized the girl's dream of continuing to go to school with her Ban Que's brother. Xiaozhi's personality is actually more stubborn than me, because of the extremely bad math grades, I used to help her fulfill her dream (I don't deny that helping is not only to use him to get closer to Ban Que, who was already in the research institute at that time; On the other hand, it was kind of to compensate for the guilt of using Xiaozhi to go undercover dangerously), but she rejected my offer at the time, and told me in all the right words that he would never win his dream by cheating in this way, and the tone sounded like I was tarnishing her dream.

"It's my credit that you can be admitted to this school." I don't know who her valuation inherited from them.

Xiaozhi was choked by what I said at the time, and said with some guilt: "I have always been very ashamed of this matter, so this time I will definitely not use you again." Even if you are my other personality, we are still two different people after all, and if you get what you want through deception, then this thing does not belong to me after all. I'd rather not be admitted to my brother's university than meet with Brother Banque in such a dishonest way. If I don't have the strength, I can take the test again next year, but cheating is absolutely not allowed, then I will only look down on myself even more. ”

"Then you look at your math scores, and you think you're a little sure that you can go to a major university." I don't understand why I have to climb up step by step when I can take the cable car.

Xiaozhi still shook his head stubbornly: "That can't deceive people." ”

"You." I sighed, knowing that I couldn't argue with her, so I discussed with her, "Then what do you say?" You can take the exam again next year, but are you sure you can use a year to make your math score improve by leaps and bounds? Don't be foolish. You can't get into the same school with him on your own. ”

"I'll be demoted to a junior college." Xiaozhi didn't look like he was hit at all, "Anyway, you just can't take the exam for me." ”

I was so angry with her that I simply pretended to be asleep in his consciousness, but seeing her call for review without any progress, I still lost the battle and talked to her first: "Little ancestor, aren't you tender and flexible?" ”

"That's the only thing that can't." Xiao Zhi is still insisting, knowing that he can't be stubborn, and I won't compete anymore, anyway, it's me who is angry, "Come back to consciousness, I'll help you write down the solution ideas for this set of papers, and then you understand the spirit and draw inferences." ”

"But you have to give it back to me later, and if you help me take the exam without permission, even if I receive the admission letter, I will tear it up." After agreeing to my proposal, Xiaozhi still reminded me uneasily.

"Dead girl, why are you so dead-eyed." I whispered as I took control.

Xiaozhi whispered in my consciousness, "I want to stand with my brother through my own efforts." ”

"You can sleep first, and then I will exchange with you after I finish the questions, and I don't bother to deal with your relationships at school for you." After that, I stopped talking, but focused on her math problem, and I didn't notice it when Zheng Min came in, until he stood next to me for a long time, and it wasn't until I put down my pen and stretched my waist that I realized that Zheng Min was sitting and looking at me.

"I've been in for a long time." Zheng Min took the exercise book I had just written.

I nodded and answered, although I once said that I would let Zheng Min find a sense of belonging, but in fact, my relationship with him is not as close as her relationship with Xiaozhi, it may be because of Banque, even if the two of us stay together, we will feel very embarrassed, and then when we get along alone, we simply stop deliberately looking for topics to chat.

"Xiaozhi asked you to write it for her?" Zheng Min asked me that I am not good at communication, so most of the time instant chat is also a topic that Zheng Min started with.

"Well, I originally wanted to take the exam for her, but I didn't know that he was so insistent that he had to come by himself, and told me to be honest. So that's all I have to do to help her get here. "Xiaozhi has been struggling with the problem for a long time, and it is really bad for me to sigh about Xiaozhi's mathematics by the way.

Zheng Min nodded clearly, looked at me and suddenly laughed helplessly: "Prepare a workbook for her?" ”

"Otherwise, you can't really let her only score a dozen points in the final exam, right?" To be honest, I feel that I can rely on Meng in the exam room to score a lot higher than Xiaozhi.

I asked my boss to help me and the school ask for leave, and it took me a week to write down all the exercises in Xiaozhi's math workbook, and also attached a clear solution idea, thinking that it might be better than the result of her own thinking. In fact, God still favors her very much, and in the next half a year, with my advice, her grades have indeed improved a lot, although in the final college entrance examination, her math scores still lowered her grades, but she still talked about the admission line. accepted the professional adjustment, and she still relied on her own efforts to be the younger sister of the class. To be honest, when I saw her crying with joy when she received the admission letter, I was also bitterly happy for her.

"Thank you, Zizhi." Xiaozhi said to me before falling asleep the night she received the admission letter.

"The result of your own efforts." I'll say yes.

"Hey, hey." That night, in her dreams, she was giggling.

The days when I was admitted to the university were still very good, if I ignored the fact that Ban Que was always reluctant to participate in club activities. On the surface, Xiaozhi's life is no different from that of ordinary college students, but if you really explore it carefully, you will find that Xiaozhi's routine is terrible, and Xiaozhi rarely goes to live in the dormitory of the school, and the relationship with his classmates is not close. She rarely appears in school organizations. The only one who has a good relationship with her is still Zheng Min, and the two belong to different colleges. But the two still go to and from school and eat together, but some classmates will occasionally see her and the seniors who seem to be affectionately fighting on campus. But fortunately, Xiaozhi has a good personality, so even if he is not close, he has a good relationship with the people around him, but occasionally I hear rumors that Xiaozhi is dating a senior senior. For this rumor, Xiaozhi herself is still happy to hear it, even if it is just a lie to deceive herself, it is like a knife wrapped in honey for Xiaozhi, even if the reality hurts her bloody, she would rather believe in the hypocritical sweetness created by the lie.

However, during that time, the medical school next to their school had a case of using campus legends to cover up the school scandal (see the "Portrait" chapter for details), which also caused quite a stir in the surrounding schools. It's just that Xiaozhi didn't know that it was actually the first time she met Li Jing. Li Jing had tentatively told her about the case, but Xiaozhi had no impression at all, and it was at that moment that Li Jing discovered the abnormality of Xiaozhi's amnesia and began to privately entrust Shi Hao to investigate Xiaozhi's situation.

At that time, the case was very sensational, and it attracted a lot of attention, and people's attention was so focused on the accident that they didn't notice other serious accidents at all. Or rather, people's inherent prejudices allow them to ignore some of their victims.

But at first, the gang took over a nightclub where women who worked night shifts frequently disappeared, and at first everyone didn't think about it, just because they wanted to change their careers. And their special status has made them suffer from social exclusion and indifference. Until one day, as the number of missing women increases, one of Banque's father's old subordinates (the manager of the nightclub) senses that something seems to be not quite right, but only a momentary awareness does not pay him special attention, and he later thinks that maybe an opponent may be digging into his corner.

But things turned out to be more than anyone expected, and not long after he became suspicious, he received a letter with photos of the missing woman at the time of her murder. In fact, he was not the only one who received the letters, and many of the guests who visited the nightclub found the same photos in their backpacks or clothes that they had brought with them.

The murder scene of the victim in the photo is very bloody, and the victims' expressions are all painful and fall in a pool of blood, judging from the large amount of blood stains on the photo, the victim should have been assassinated. Ban Que initially suspected that other gangs had come to provoke him, but when he got in touch with the current ones who were planted in other gangs, he didn't find any evidence to support this speculation, and according to the previous style of doing things between gangs, even if he did it, he would not waste his energy on people who had nothing to do with him. Obviously, the deaths of these women had nothing to do with the fighting between the gangs.

At that time, the police also received the same photo, but because the main energy was to investigate the campus scandal, so the police personnel investigating the case were obviously insufficient, and the case did not progress for a long time, and the number of female workers who disappeared in nightclubs was gradually increasing, and even not only the nightclubs on the Banque side were missing, but many women in the surrounding nightclubs also began to disappear, it seems that the murderer did not focus on only one nightclub, but was particularly persistent in killing prostitutes. Another thing that everyone does not understand is that even after receiving the horrific photos sent by the suspect, the body of a single victim has not been found.

At that time, there was panic in the nightclubs in the area, and many women resigned, and some even said goodbye, so it was even more difficult to determine whether those people had left or were killed in the end. Even those women who stayed behind would travel in groups or have someone to pick them up when they commuted to and from work. They are usually reminded not to go out alone, but women are still missing. Because it is a shady business, and because of people's prejudice about the identity of the deceased, it is not easy for the police to carry out their work, and even in order to avoid police investigations, some nightclubs will hide the fact that someone is missing. In the end, things have been deadlocked.

At that time, the case that Xiaozhi and Ban Que came into contact with was very different from this matter, but Ban Que felt that it was his responsibility to ensure the safety of the people working under him, so he secretly called Xiaozhi to investigate the matter with him. I don't know what kind of medicine Ban Que was selling in the gourd at that time, but after weighing it, I couldn't see anything that could be done, so I let Xiaozhi go to investigate with her Ban Que's brother, and it wasn't until later that I found out that it was the most wrong decision I ever made, and it was also the fuse for a series of tragedies that followed.

Xiaozhi is actually very sticky, if Xiaozhi is allowed to investigate this bloody incident by himself, Xiaozhi himself will not agree to anything. But if the words 'with Banque' are poured in front, no matter how terrible it is, she is willing. "Surround yourself with someone you like, and you'll find that you have the guts to stand up to the world." Xiaozhi always told me that.

The first thing they did at that time was to come to the photos that the nightclub owner had received and all the surveillance footage from that time. But the surveillance video did not bring them any clues, but Jin Hao helped watch the video for a whole week, and did not return any suspicious people. I said that if many people found the letters in the items they were carrying, the surveillance footage would definitely capture the action of someone throwing or hiding the letter. But there is no such picture in the surveillance video, there is only a scene of a young man and woman drinking and having fun.

"Could it be the staff in the nightclub?" Because of the heavy workload, Zheng Min and the future also participated in the investigation. Wei Kai put forward his opinion after watching the video, "Just like the most dangerous place is the safest, you will deliberately ignore the threat posed to you by the people around you. Don't you think it's strange? Why, in the face of successive disappearances, when you send people to repeatedly emphasize the need to travel together, there are still people who travel alone regardless of the danger? The person who was able to leave her alone must have a deep trust in the missing, and who would be the person who could gain their trust in such a special time, the person they were most familiar with, or even the person assigned to protect them. And being able to stuff letters into people's belongings is an opportunity that only security guards at the door can get, right? Have you never doubted them? Wei Kai habitually laughed after speaking, as if he was mocking everyone but him for being stupid.

Ban Que understood Wei Kai, he didn't say anything, just frowned, as if thinking about what Wei Kai said; Zheng Min has always maintained a position of not taking sides, and he is also calm about Wei Kai's cynicism; Only Jin Hao, the eldest young master, rarely cooperates with us, and is very disgusted by Wei Kai's yin and yang weirdness. It may be that the lack of progress in the investigation for a week in a row has made him feel a little frustrated, and under the stimulation of Wei Kai just now, the eldest young master casually dropped the mouse and sneered: "Do you think I won't suspect that my own people did it?" I've checked surveillance logs, and I've done video analysis of none of the missing women before the accident. But the facts tell me that there is nothing wrong with these people. You think the security is suspicious, at the first moment of the accident, I sorted out the security guard's schedule and even checked the dynamics of each one as much as possible, and I didn't find any suspicious people. If you are still in doubt, you can find any evidence that can refute my findings. "Jin Hao himself is a person who doesn't like to laugh, I thought this kind of person would behave very calmly in the face of other people's doubts, but in fact Jin Hao is a very emotional person, and the appropriate description is the spoiled little master.

Wei Kai looked down on Jin Hao the most at that time, Wei Kai was disgusted with emotional people, just like he didn't like Xiaozhi at all, but Xiaozhi didn't like to use his brain, which made Wei Kai always want to squeeze her a few words. After all, Jin Hao's father is the boss of the current organization, and Jin Hao himself has a high IQ, so Wei Kai can only laugh at him in terms of slightly poor emotional intelligence. Listening to Jin Hao's rebuttal, Wei Kai just pursed his lips and symbolically replied "Oh", and then there was no follow-up.

However, Ban Que became interested in Wei Kai's previous point of view, and asked again: "Jin Hao, are there any regulars in the surveillance who have disappeared recently?" Customers who often come to take care of our business when people start missing, but suddenly disappear after the police intervene in the investigation? ”

Jin Hao nodded: "There are several." ”

"Can you find footage from other nightclubs?" Ban Que asked again.

Jin Hao frowned, hesitated for a while, and then nodded: "It will take some time, but as long as there is a network over there, it shouldn't be a problem for me to hack in, do you want to find out if these people have the possibility of entering other nightclubs?" ”

"That's right." Ban Que agreed, "There is one thing that Wei Kai said that we really ignore, that is, in this dangerous period, the person who can still successfully deceive those girls is definitely the one who can gain the absolute trust of the girls." Now that the people in the infield have been freed from suspicion for the time being, the most suspicious thing now is the regular customers who frequented the place before the case was exposed. The girls had seen them, and the familiarity didn't make them doubt his identity. If there is really a suspect among these people, as long as he bids a little higher, the girls may not be able to resist the temptation, and comfort their acquaintances in their hearts that there is no risk and leave with these people, after all, it is really not easy to make money in this special situation. Gu Nian will let his guard down because he is a regular customer. ”

"Okay, I'll get back to you as soon as possible." Jin Hao rubbed his eyes and prepared to start work.

"Brother Jin Hao, can't you take a break?" Xiaozhi saw Jin Hao's red eyes and said with some worry, "You've been looking at the computer for a week." ”

"But there's no way, if I don't keep an eye on it, there's almost no one here who can replace me as a hacker. That's all I can help you. Jin Hao smiled and explained to Xiaozhi, "Why don't Xiaozhi bobo me as an encouragement." ”

I instantly felt Xiaozhi's cheeks being hot, and she hid behind Zheng Min: "It's beautiful to think." Boldly said behind Zheng Min.

"Sure enough, people are divided into groups." Looking at the scene at that time, Wei Kai said a word.

I noticed that Banque's face was not very good, but he soon reverted to his usual nonchalant expression. Jin Hao wanted to choke with Wei Kai again, but Ban Que stopped the quarrel that the two of them were about to start, looked at the remaining people and said, "Xiaozhi is right, but you can't just rely on Jin Hao's monitoring results. In this way, Zheng Min, you and Wei Kai will go and verify the recent movements of all the staff in the infield again, and see if anyone has any unusual behavior in a place other than monitoring. Xiaozhi, you and I go talk to the rest of the girls and see if we can find new clues. Wei Kai can't leave Zheng Min at any time, although the suspect's target is a prostitute, but it is difficult to guarantee that his murder target will not change because of the stimulus. So you two pay attention to safety, especially Zheng Min's safety. Xiaozhi. He glanced at Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi didn't wait for him to speak before he said on his own: "I will follow my brother closely, I will never leave my brother half a step, and I will pay attention to my own safety, brother don't worry about me." ”

"Okay." Ban Que listened to Xiaozhi's words and was stunned for a second before speaking. After a few more words of instruction to Jin Hao, the four of them divided into two groups and set off separately.

Xiaozhi was on the way to the destination with Ban Que, and suddenly looked at Ban Que and stopped talking.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?" It was rare for Ban Que not to be impatient today, but instead looked at Xiaozhi seriously with his head sideways.

Xiaozhi nodded: "Hmm." Did Brother Ban Que think it was strange when he looked at the photos? ”

"Strange?" Ban Que thought for a moment and shook his head, "What you want to say should be terrifying, right?" Ban Que confirmed like Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi shook his head vigorously: "No, although the first one is particularly scary, but if you watch it too much, you will feel strange." I could feel Xiao Zhi's look in his eyes with great conviction.

"Oh?" Ban Que stared at Xiaozhi with interest, looking forward to what she was going to say next.

"It's just weird." Xiaozhi said firmly, "I can feel another kind of horror from the photos, that is, the person who is looking for the photo, or the person who did it, has a deep hatred for the victim. ”

"Huh?" Ban Que was obviously interested in Xiaozhi's words, "Why do you say that? ”

"Because of his brutality with corpses." Speaking of this, Xiao Zhise shrank for a moment, "I have said in a club activity I participated in before that the destruction of corpses represents two emotions: the first is extreme fear, such as the notorious Rostow butcher, who took off the victim's eyes for short-sightedness because he was afraid of the dead person's serious lack of life; The other is extreme hatred, such as the Green River Killers, in fact, when I said that the victims were prostitutes, my first reaction was the case of the Green River Killers, who brutally killed them because he hated them. If it is just a simple provocation and revenge, I don't think there is any need to exclude such horrific photos, as long as their state of death is excluded. But the photographs presented are photographs of the crime scene, and it is very likely to be the first crime scene, and there are a lot of blood stains on the ground, indicating that this person is thinking that we want to make us afraid of his perverted desires, and he wants to torture not only those of the victims, but also those of us who look at the pictures. The suspect has completely lost his empathy and is even enjoying our fears. At the end, Xiaozhi looked at Ban Que with some uncertainty, "I don't think there should be such a pervert among the customers who often come to the nightclub, right?" ”

Ban Que looked at her inexplicably.

I felt some pain in my lower lip, Xiaozhi should be hesitating whether to say those words, and finally she made up her mind to look at Wei Kai and said, "I don't think the suspect should be the kind of person who looks suave." Because such a person should not be casually despised, and his self-esteem will be frustrated. I don't think the suspect has a good relationship with women. You said that, because in addition to such things, the police have been watching this side very closely lately, and you have restricted their business. If you are not a suspect, you will be careful not to move around here so as not to arouse suspicion, and it will be troublesome if you can't tell the truth. But the suspects still come and go to these places frequently because our habitual thinking doesn't think about them. We have the impression that this type of person should be someone we are familiar with, but we conclude that they must have nothing to do with this type of case. We deny him not because we trust him to be a good man, but because we are self-righteous and don't think we have the guts to do such a thing. He can be so inconspicuous that you don't remember his existence until you see him. And this person usually has a relationship with the people around him who are not particularly close, and it may even be the object of being called around, and after being stimulated one day, all the resentment will explode, and even this person should have been looked down upon by the type of person he murdered. For the sake of revenge and attention, this cruel way was chosen, wanting to attract everyone's attention. ”

After saying this, Xiaozhi looked at Ban Que with a blank eye, not knowing what he would say about his speculation. But Wei Kai just frowned and walked forward on his own, and after walking for a while, he turned his head to look at Xiaozhi and said, "Call Zheng Min and ask them to pay attention to whether there is anyone with such an image when investigating, or ask if there is anyone who has seen the transition and your profile." ”

As I made the call, I asked, "What about Brother Kinhai?" ”

Ban Que frowned slightly, but quickly lowered his head to hide his unhappiness: "I'll inform him from his side." ”

Getting Ban Que's affirmation made Xiaozhi very excited, and even Zheng Min on the other end of the phone heard Xiaozhi's strangeness.

"Did anything good happen?" Zheng Min asked on the other end of the phone.

"Sort of. Brother Ban Que affirmed me. (To be continued.) )
