Chapter 44: Ding Xiaolan's Intuition
The next day, Qi Lu asked Lao Wu to pick up Ding Xiaolan from the hospital, and he set off to find Lin Wenzhe.
It was close to noon after Lao Wu completed the discharge procedures in the hospital, and as soon as Ding Xiaolan got in the car, he saw Qi Lu running in a hurry. Thinking that he didn't come to pick him up and discharge him from the hospital today, Ding Xiaolan suddenly became angry in her heart, and deliberately twisted her head to the side to ignore him.
Qi Lu naturally saw the unhappiness in Ding Xiaolan's heart, and he changed his way to make her happy. After having lunch in the restaurant, in order to express his apology, Qi Lu accompanied her to the mall again, and he paid for all the expenses.
Ding Xiaolan finally smiled, and after they found a restaurant and finished dinner, they were ready to go home.
In the car, Qi Lu said to Ding Xiaolan: "Beauty, recently, for the convenience of investigating the case, let's not go back to the company for the time being, I will book a room in the hotel, and we will work there in the future." ”
"Did something happen to the company? Investigating the case, getting into trouble again? Ding Xiaolan had a series of questions.
As soon as Lao Wu was about to answer, he saw Qi Lu winking at him from the rearview mirror, so he stopped talking and concentrated on driving the broken car.
"Beauty...... That's right, the company's business has not been going well recently, I asked Master Wutong to calculate a hexagram, and I took advantage of your hospitalization to invite someone to redecorate the company, so now we can't work in the company. How dare Qi Lu tell Ding Xiaolan the truth, although he is the nominal boss, but Ding Xiaolan's arrogant personality, once she knows the truth of the matter, she will definitely scold herself half to death. Qi Lu didn't want to be bored, so he made up a lie.
"Oh, that's right." Ding Xiaolan didn't think much about it, she asked Qi Lu: "How is the case investigated, is Lin Fang okay?" ”
"It's fine." Qi Lu tried his best to pretend to be relaxed and said: "Everything is under my control, or in three days, the case will be revealed." ”
"Excellent." Ding Xiaolan said with a smile: "We must let Aunt Lin Fang have a good home." ”
"Blow it, just three days? Can you do it? Lao Wu frowned, he didn't want Qi Lu to make another joke.
"If it weren't for that old youkai who made a fool of himself last night, I would still be going around in circles in the fog. But today, everything is different, you just let me arrange, and I will naturally reveal all the mysteries then. ”
Ding Xiaolan asked in surprise: "You came to the monster last night?" ”
"Ah, the youkai passing by, we beat you away." Qi Lu's face was unnatural, for fear that Ding Xiaolan would hear the clue, so he had to stagger the topic, but at this time, Lao Wu came to make trouble for him again.
"Xiao Qi, where did you get the confidence that you could find out the truth of the case within three days? You must know that Liu Chenfei called us today and said that he did not find Songwenjian in Guanyin Temple. ”
"Songwen Sword? How could it be in the Guanyin Temple? Ding Xiaolan finally noticed that something was wrong, and immediately said to Qi Lu with an old face: "Did something happen when I was hospitalized, tell me quickly!" ”
"Ahem, ahem, it's nothing." Qi Lu forced his composure.
"It's okay, it's okay, you rarely come to the hospital to see me these days!"
"That's because I'm busy."
"Didn't you say it's okay, then why are you busy again?" Ding Xiaolan's pink face has become a yaksha-shaped.
"Alas, Lao Wu, I was killed by you!" Qi Lu knew that he couldn't hide it anymore.
"I did it on purpose." Old Wu grimaced at him.
"Humph!" Ding Xiaolan snorted and yelled at Qi Lu: "Mr. Qi, do you like to deceive people when you are the boss!" ”
Qi Lu was still thinking about how to fulfill his lie, Ding Xiaolan had already put his hand on his shoulder with a smile and said, "Mr. Qi, just tell people, the slave family is in a hurry." ”
Lao Wu looked at Ding Xiaolan's pretentious appearance from the rearview mirror, and couldn't help laughing, but Qi Lu screamed like a pig, because the hand on his shoulder was pinching himself hard.
Ding Xiaolan's nails were very long, and they pinched his flesh again, causing Qi Lu's facial muscles to tremble slightly.
"Beauty, let it go, can't I confess truthfully?" Qi Lu was completely defeated in the hands of this unruly female man, he had no choice but to truthfully recount the experience of the past few days to Ding Xiaolan like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and as he expected, Ding Xiaolan immediately yelled at him after listening to his words.
"Master Wutong will never be a murderer, you are wronging a good person!"
"How did I wronged a good person, the evidence is conclusive, not to mention that he turned himself in."
"You're a pig brain, you know how to reason!"
"Okay, then you say...... Why is Wutong not a murderer? Qi Lu was so choked by her that he stammered when he spoke.
"It is impossible for such a kind person as a master to do such a murderous thing."
Qi Lu thought that she could say something, but what she didn't expect to wait for was such a sentence, so she had to smile bitterly and said: "You can't solve the case by intuition, does every criminal look like a traitor?" ”
"If you want proof, okay, I'll tell you about this pig." Ding Xiaolan pursed her mouth, cleared her throat and said, "Let's imagine that if Master Wutong is the murderer, he will definitely be unnatural when facing the victim. ”
"Well, Xiao Ding's words are in line with criminal psychology." Lao Wu smiled and nodded back, Qi Lu glared at him and didn't make a sound.
Ding Xiaolan was immediately encouraged when she saw that Lao Wu agreed with her point of view, and she hurriedly said: "Since this logic is true, then let me ask you, when he wanted to surpass Lin Fang's soul without hesitation, isn't he afraid that after summoning her soul, Lin Fang will tell the truth in front of everyone?" In that case, wouldn't you do such a stupid thing without telling yourself? ”
"This ......" Qi Lu was suddenly speechless when asked, and he had to admit that Ding Xiaolan's words made some sense. His thoughts were running quickly, and he carefully filtered all the contacts he had with Wutong these days in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became.
"What's the matter, Mr. Qi, you have nothing to say, right?" Ding Xiaolan asked Qi Lu triumphantly.
Qi Lu didn't reply, and his mind began to think backwards. If Wu Neng is really a murderer, when he has the Songwen Sword, he will have many opportunities to surpass Lin Fang's ghost, and he can also do it without knowing the ghost, what reason does he have to wait until the paper can't hold the fire, and then follow his brother's request to surpass Lin Fang? This is obviously unreasonable!
Taking a step back and thinking about it, even if he had other secrets, why did he dare to invite us to watch the ritual of transcending the soul of the dead with great fanfare, was he really not afraid that Lin Fang's ghost would show up and reveal his true face in public?
The more Qi Lu thought about it, the more nervous he became, although Wutong had many abnormal behaviors that could be explained in common sense, he couldn't find a reasonable explanation for killing Lin Fang as an ordinary person.
Qi Lu's heart began to waver, maybe it was really his mistake, he couldn't help but sigh and asked Ding Xiaolan: "How did you think of this?" ”
In Qi Lu's heart, he couldn't believe that Ding Xiaolan's simple thoughts could see through the key to the problem at a glance, could it be that someone taught her when she was hospitalized?
"A woman's intuition."
Qi Lu looked at her in surprise, he could deduce whether a person was innocent or not based on his intuition alone?
"Women are naturally sensual, but men are much more hypocritical."
Hearing this, Qi Lu coughed unnaturally, feeling that she was referring to Sang and scolding Huai about herself.
Ding Xiaolan was unintentional, she didn't care about Qi Lu's expression, and further explained: "No matter how cultivated a girl is, when she faces the murderer who killed her, it is impossible for her to be calm enough to react at all." Master Wutong was a monk halfway, and later entered Buddhism as a host. The fact that such a person who has no roots in the Buddhist world can make Guanyin Temple from an obscure small temple to the most famous Buddhist holy place in the province shows that he is an extremely intelligent person. With his IQ, it is impossible to risk his life and meet Lin Fang rashly in front of everyone. But the result of the fact is that he actually did this, which can only show one fact, he is worthy of Lin Fang, and he will not be the murderer of her at all. ”
Ding Xiaolan said a few words, and Qi Lu's face turned red and white for a while, but he was hindered by his self-esteem and refused to easily admit his judgment error in front of her.
Ding Xiaolan saw Qi Lu's expression, and she felt even more proud, and she said coquettishly: "Do you still insist on the view that Master Wutong is the murderer?" ”
After a while, Qi Lu sighed and asked Ding Xiaolan: "If things are really as you said, then why does Master Wutong think that he is a murderer?" ”
Ding Xiaolan couldn't answer, after all, what she just said was just to detect the unreasonableness in Qi Lu's judgment with a woman's natural delicacy, but if she really wanted to make logical reasoning, she couldn't compare to Qi Lu.
At this time, Lao Wu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, answered Qi Lu's question leisurely: "Because he wants to protect the real murderer." ”
"Yes!" Qi Lu nodded approvingly in agreement, and said loudly: "Only this reason can explain why he bought Songwen Sword at any cost. On the one hand, he wanted to forcibly surpass Lin Fang's ghost, but on the other hand, he had a lot of worries about finding Lin Fang, and even pretended to me to find the female ghost in red, all because he had a very close relationship with the murderer, he could not face Lin Fang calmly, but he had to clean up the mess for the murderer. ”
Lao Wu said: "Your analysis is reasonable, not as reckless as before. ”
"So how can we find out who really is the murderer?" Ding Xiaolan felt that the case was becoming more and more confusing.
But Qi Lu didn't think so, after Ding Xiaolan's reminder and his thinking just now, his heart had already brightened.
"Beauty, you wait to go back and get a good night's sleep, and go to Professor Jiang tomorrow." Qi Lu began to assign tasks.
"What are you looking for him, do you want to ask Lin Fang for clues?"
Qi Lu didn't answer her question, but patted Lao Wu on the shoulder and said, "You will have a hard time tomorrow, and you have to run several places." ”
Lao Wu asked him unhurriedly: "Do you have an idea, but I can warn you not to be clever and make a mess of things in the end." ”
"Not this time." Qi Lu's voice was clear and firm, and he said with a light smile: "Even if I guess wrong this time, I won't startle the snake." ”
"And what do you want us to do?"
After Qi Lu smiled and whispered to them, he leaned back on the chair and waited for Lao Wu and Ding Xiaolan's opinions.
"It's a great plan." Ding Xiaolan's words are appreciated from the bottom of my heart.
"I have a question." Lao Wu's eyes were a little puzzled.
Qi Lu asked, "What's the problem?" ”
"We're all going to be busy tomorrow, so what are you going to do?"
Yes, Qi Lu didn't assign a task to himself in what he said to them just now, Ding Xiaolan was unhappy, she pouted and said, "Do you want to sleep lazily for a day?" ”
"No, I'll go to Lin Wenzhe and ask him to give me another play."
"Acting, aren't you afraid that he will mess things up?"
"No, it won't. He had been an extra in the repertory troupe for several years, and it was not difficult for him to try to deceive someone. This kind of thing is the only one for him to do, and we are likely to show our feet when we do it. Qi Lu recalled that when they met for the first time, Lin Wenzhe's tricks almost made him believe his nonsense.
Lao Wu asked, "Will he agree?" ”
"What money can solve, that's not a problem."
"I'm worried that Lin Wenzhe will confess to us after being bribed, because he is greedy for money." Ding Xiaolan voiced her concerns.
"No, it won't." A disdainful smile appeared on Qi Lu's face. "He was indeed greedy for money, but he was also a wise man, and he would not lose his life for money. If he tells that man our plan, he won't even have a chance to go home. ”
"Okay, just do as you say." Lao Wu finally nodded in agreement.
After sending Ding Xiaolan home, Qi Lu turned his eyes to the scenery outside the car window, the city looked so gray under the cover of night.
Seeing that all the mysteries were about to be revealed, Qi Lu couldn't be happy, but there was a depressed feeling in his heart, a sense of indifference that he had long been accustomed to.
