October 25, 2008, early morning.

The sun hit the earth, sweeping away the gloom of last night.

Looking at the morning newspaper delivered early in the morning, Wen Yifan slowly got up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.

- Everything is going according to plan.

Slowly pouring a strong cup of coffee into his cup, he sat down in his chair and transcribed the contents of the newspaper onto paper.

- Now it is almost certain that the other party is indeed coming for me, but what the other party has, and what information about me, is not at the moment.

Does the other party recognize me as a "Yunxiang Murderer", or some other identity, or directly know that I am a "writer"?

There is no way to know this, but the Rite House keeps the identities of its members extremely secret, and if the murderer is indeed the one who knows about the existence of the "writer", then how did he confirm his identity?

Furthermore, even if he knew his identity as a "writer", how could he learn from Yan Feng that he had obtained the password and started to investigate?

I don't understand.

But you have to understand.

But before that, we must take strict precautions, not to let the "heir" notice that he is cooperating with the police, and not to let the murderer do anything that will expose his identity.

As for the police, they should try to reduce their suspicion, and they must not find out that they are the target of the murderer's attention.

And for the "heir", it is even more impossible for him to notice himself - once he finds out that the identity of "W" is himself, then everything will be exposed, and even now he is a little suspicious, he has found out through his own reasoning that the "writer" is the person the murderer wants to challenge.

And in the face of that murderer, although the other party's goal is now himself, he has not shown hostility so far, but simply wants to get his attention and accept his challenge - then the question is, what is his attitude? Do you simply want to challenge yourself, or do you want to become a "fanatic" of your own identity like that copycat?

Therefore, in order to be able to cope with this situation, the only solution he can think of is to publish in the newspapers!

However, the news will inevitably need to be blocked, but in another form and made sure that it can be seen by the majority.

Quite simply, the prize contest in the newspaper meets this condition.

Therefore, in today's newspaper, Liu Wenyu and the others, after joint discussion, decided to adopt their own opinions, and put the string of passwords, along with the two poems, in the prize quiz section of the newspaper, for everyone who reads the newspaper to check and express their thoughts.

For the inside of the police station, Wen Yifan's reason is very simple: according to the murderer's previous opinions, publish this string of passwords and poems in the newspaper, and after brainstorming, he will definitely be able to crack this string of passwords one step ahead of the murderer.

Although there was a slight gaffe at the time, fortunately, he adjusted his condition very quickly, and made this suggestion very naturally, so that he was not suspected.

In this way, you can not only hide your identity from the police, so that you will not be suspected by them, but also help the police crack the code in a dignified manner without being targeted by the "heir".

Killing two birds with one stone is the most basic coping method.

Now, the question to be solved is how the murderer can know that he has joined the police to investigate?

Could it be that he was also able to hack into the police system and learn that there is now a mysterious person named "W" who is assisting the police, thus surmising that he has accepted the challenge?

But what if the murderer is a bait disguised as an "heir" to lure him into the bait? Outside of the members of this world, there are definitely no more than ten fingers who know about the sacrificial court. And now that two people are appearing in Yunhe City at the same time, it is a coincidence, I am afraid it is difficult to judge.

Besides, the two really have too many similarities - knowing that the "writer" is in Yunhe, he wants to find out his identity, can obtain information from the police, and is extremely smart, and the "heir" has just arrived, and the murder in Yunhe City is a bit too coincidental.

However, the "heir" has said that he will defeat himself in the legal process.

But what if this statement is just a blind eye? Believing in the promise of one's sworn enemy is an incredible thing!

Gently closing his eyes, the corners of Wen Yifan's mouth showed a mocking smile.

- What do you think? If it is a trick, it seems a bit too deliberate to deliberately reiterate it so far, the "heir" will not make such a mistake, even reverse thinking seems to be redundant. What's more, he learned the information that he was in Yunhe City on the 16th, and the time when the first door killing case happened was obviously before that, but it was discovered later.

- You must be calm, the more this moment, the more you can't mess up, and now it seems that static braking may be the best way.

"Morning, Wen Yifan." With a big yawn, Lin Yunqian walked down from the upstairs sleepily, saw Wen Yifan sitting at the table, and said hello.

"Morning," Wen Yifan slowly raised his head and responded, "It looks like I slept well last night." ”

"Yes, it's you, you get up so early every day, and there is no alarm ringing, it's really an eye-catching habit." Picking up the newspaper on the table, he looked at Wen Yifan, "What are you copying?" ”

"The puzzle in this issue of the newspaper was quite interesting, so I copied it down." Speaking the words that had been prepared a long time ago, Wen Yifan did not hide anything, but generously showed him the notes he had copied, "Look, it's a password, and a small poem, the newspaper says that it is updated according to the progress of decryption, and those who can answer the puzzle before all the hints can get a bonus of two thousand yuan." ”

"It's really a big share of the reward, so you want to win this reward of 10,000 yuan?" Looking at the string of passwords, Lin Yunqian frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something, "It's really abnormal, this puzzle can occupy such a large plate." ”

- It's my decision, so that it can attract the attention of the murderer and reveal more information, and secondly, it can also make more people see it, so that my identity can be more hidden.

Smiling quietly, Wen Yifan turned his head and looked at the copied password again, but he didn't see that Lin Yunqian at this moment had already focused on the headlines of this newspaper.

- Another murder case, and the same narrative style as the first one, the common point is that there is no mention of the details of the crime scene, is it because it is too brutal to block the news?

Damn it.

He scolded in his heart, and now he even regretted making that promise a little.

- What do you say about using legal means to defeat writers openly, I'm afraid that writers will not obediently have a "gentleman's showdown" with themselves like that!

"Remember, Yun Qian, 'All vile means can be understood under the goal of justice,' and this sentence should not be said by us, because if the guardians of the law cannot obey the law, how can we demand that others obey the law?"

Although it seems that this sentence may be the one who killed the teacher, but even so, in this game, I have to abide by this sentence - because it is the teacher's last wish and my own obsession.

Only by defeating the "writers" and the "sacrificial courtyards" can we prove that evil does not prevail over good!

Then, the next action may also revolve around the investigation near the crime scene - since the police have blocked all the details about the murder case, then on the premise of not hacking into the police system, it may only be possible to record intelligence through field investigations.

- However, the "writer" should also take this into account, and besides, there is a risk of exposure on the fieldwork, so ......

Just as he was falling into thought, Wen Yifan was also silent, his eyes were fixed on the password on the paper, but his mind was spinning rapidly.

- Nowadays, all information about the murder case is blocked, and because it is possible to grasp the actions of the police within a certain range, and even interfere with the decision-making of the police to a greater or lesser extent, this has led to the fact that the current situation is indeed smooth.

- I'm afraid that the newcomers to the "heirs" should also have the habit of reading newspapers! That's why I laid such a trap in the newspapers, and now it seems that the trap has been laid, and it depends on when the prey will take the bait.

By directing the police's actions and his relationship with the investigators involved in the case, Wen Yifan was able to set a trap by making the police listen to his opinion in the newspaper.

That's right, the content in the newspaper is now written by Wen Yifan and published after being checked by the police, although some places have been changed, but the content has not changed.

There are many key details hidden in the content, and it only mentions the general situation of the whole case, in fact, this is written by Wen Yifan through years of writing experience after reading countless newspaper information about the first murder case. Just like the method used to deal with Yan Feng, there are many psychological hints and similarities with the first report, although it is not said that it may be the same person as the first case, but if someone who has carefully read the whole report reads this article, he can keenly perceive the difference between the two cases, which is exactly the result he wants to see.

- "Heir", now your eyes should be as closely fixed on this case as I thought! That's right, as you think, I originally planned to intervene in this case, and now it seems that I have to intervene. But don't expect me to reveal any flaws, on the contrary, your flaws are about to be exposed.

- If you're really paying attention to this case, then you should be able to notice that the first murder case has now developed into a serial murder case, whether it's curiosity or a sense of crisis, will speed up the pace of your investigation, and that's what I want to see.

- But if you only use conventional methods, you can hardly get any information, because with my advice and the cooperation of the police, all the news about it has been tightly sealed. Of course, a good fisherman knows how to take things one step at a time, so I certainly won't block all your paths as soon as I come up, and while that would greatly improve my security, getting rid of you is my ultimate goal. So, I've left a path for you......

Yes, the witnesses who reported the crime.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he seemed to be a little tempted to laugh, but he still tried to hold it back.

INTERVIEWER What, is this the handwriting of a "writer"? It's a bit of an exaggeration.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of Lin Yunqian's mouth showed a hint of mockery, but he also quickly adjusted his facial expression and did not show any abnormality.

- There can be so many big and small psychological hints between the lines, "writer", do you think of me as an idiot who knows nothing about psychology? That's fine, maybe you who don't know my true strength can deal with it better.

Looking at the dense text in the newspaper, Lin Yunqian couldn't help but mock in his heart.

- Not only did he conceal all kinds of details, but he didn't mention the decision to merge the case, and even planned to use psychological hints to lure me into taking the bait. Yes, these details, big and small, are like dense meshes, forming a big net, but yes, the net fish can only catch fools, just like your current hand, not only did not step into the trap you set for me, but also let me know your methods in advance.

- If I read the newspaper and rush to investigate, I will probably be locked in by you and killed by you. As I thought, all your eyes should be on the witnesses right now!

- But alas, "writer", I have seen through your scheme, so I will not rush into the investigation, and you may not have thought that there is a class of people who will not be suspected of approaching witnesses at this time. That's ......

Reporter!

After finishing the newspaper, he smiled pleasantly, a confident expression.

- Yes, that's my ploy, and if that's what I think, you're as good at psychology as Smith is. In this way, you will surely see my trap in the newspaper and step into another trap of mine.

didn't notice Lin Yunqian's expression, Wen Yifan just showed an extremely sinister smile behind his back, like a poisonous snake disguised as a green leaf, quietly secreting venom with venom.

- Yes, when you find out about my handwriting, you will definitely feel that "writer" is nothing more than that! That's exactly what I wanted. Because in that case, you will surely realize that I have set a trap for this path to obtain information, and you will definitely take countermeasures accordingly, because even if you know that it is a trap, you will have to step on it, because this is your only chance!

- As smart as you are, you will not let go of this opportunity to obtain information, so in order to invalidate the trap I have set for you, you will definitely hide your identity. Too much secrecy can be impressive, so you're bound to choose another path: journalists!

That's why I'm going to focus on journalists, because I don't have enough people to keep an eye on anyone who comes into contact with them; The second reason is that because you promised not to use illegal means against me, and it takes a long time to interview for a journalist position, and even if the interview is successful, you will not take on such a big news, so you will definitely spend money to get information from journalists, which is your only way out.

— And what I'm going to do now is to keep an eye on every journalist who goes to investigate from this moment on, and keep an eye on their money coming in. And their computers have already been hacked by me, and I can find the path to any information sent from them, even if it is copied to a USB flash drive, it will be added by me to bundle the virus. In this way, I alone will be able to spy on everyone.

Even if he doesn't get hit, he can get more information based on what he might do this time.

- How's that, heir? How far can you penetrate? Show me!

Quietly suppressing the sneer on the corner of his mouth, he picked up a pen and slowly marked the code, pretending to be seriously cracking the code.

- No, this is most likely a trap for "writers"!

Suddenly came back to his senses, a few drops of cold sweat came out of his back, Lin Yunqian took a deep breath, and he almost fell into the trap of "writer".

- A writer who has seen the methods of his teacher will certainly not think that I, the heir, will be so unbearable, so the contents of the newspaper must have deliberately wanted to expose them to me.

- In this way, I will probably be clever enough to get information from a reporter and thus reveal my identity - the "writer" can also hack technology, and I am half a pound with his skills, not to mention that the other party has the help of a mathematician.

- Moreover, the fact that the writer is able to interfere with the content of the newspaper shows that he already has many connections with the newspaper and so on, and may even have controlled the operation of the newspaper himself!

- Sure enough, he is a writer who was evaluated by his teacher as "the most cunning head wolf", even if any of his skills cannot be compared with the strengths of others in the sacrificial courtyard, but he is difficult to entangle, and he is an all-round talent.

That kind of layout that controls everything is the most important embodiment of this all-round talent!

- But, as an all-round detective, don't underestimate me, writer.

- Although this trap of yours is indeed vicious, after I saw through it, it also provided me with corresponding information.

- You don't have the ability to cover the sky with one hand! Or maybe you don't have the ability to spy on anyone who meets with witnesses, otherwise you wouldn't have made the show. In other words, if you can spy on everyone who comes into contact with them, you won't set the trap, but you will be watching ordinary people along with journalists.

- And now, you're deliberately trying to lead me down the path of "getting information from journalists", apparently because you don't have the ability to spy on everyone, which may be a good inspiration for me, so I'm going to use my current identity to find witnesses and get information from them, without turning to journalists!

The two people in the living room have their own thoughts, but they don't know that the other party is the other person they are looking for.

If you miss one move, you will miss it.
