Writer's Essay Disguise and Temptation
What a great day.
Looking at the clear sky, Wen Yifan sighed lightly.
However, how can such a person be put on the stall?
Looking at Lin Yunqian, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, he sighed softly again, got up and went downstairs, and went to prepare breakfast.
- It's really unreasonable...... I actually stayed directly, and I couldn't get rid of it.
Things have to go back to last night......
That night, after Wen Yifan invited him to the villa, the two first talked for a while. I have the impression that at that time, the knowledge and insight he showed still impressed Wen Yifan, and even had a slight feeling of wanting to be friends with him, but after that, things became wrong......
It turned out that after that, Lin Yunqian first told his difficulties, and after learning everything, Wen Yifan said: "In that case, before retrieving the ID card, Mr. Lin might as well stay temporarily, it just so happens that my villa is big enough and has a lot of spare bedrooms." β
Who would have thought that Lin Yunqian would directly take out a large stack of cash that he had just taken out of the bank and pay him as rent......
- It's so cunning, I'm afraid I guess I deliberately lured me into saying that. However, being able to get me hooked through the language trap is not easy.
- Paying the rent in advance means that he has already anticipated this situation, so maybe he was ready to rub the house when he helped me out, but since he can come up with so much money anytime and anywhere, and not lose to himself in academic attainments, it means that he is not a liar - in fact, even if he is a liar, so what? I'm still a serial murderer~
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, he slowly washed the vegetables and began to prepare breakfast.
- In fact, in fact, suddenly having a person living in the family is not a bad thing for the current self, and it may even be easier to hide your identity.
In this way, Wen Yifan can disguise himself as a main teacher, and the side business is that the owner rents out his own villa to live with others, so that his identity is more hidden.
Besides, this person is still a person with an upper-middle standard of living, so his own funds and other factors that make people feel abnormal have another layer of cover.
And maybe he could be a big help in his battle with the "heir"?
"Click-"
The sharp kitchen knife fell in an instant, and then a small patch of red appeared.
Slightly surprised, he raised his left index finger and looked at the blood gushing from it, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
- What's going on...... In his lifetime, he would cut his fingers.
"What? Got your fingers cut? A slightly concerned voice came, Wen Yifan looked for prestige, but saw Lin Yunqian, who was already fully dressed, standing at the door.
"It's nothing, it's just a compulsory course for cooking." He smiled back, and unhurriedly wiped the blood away with a medical cotton ball in the cupboard.
"I'll help you." Lin Yunqian looked at his deep wound, spread his hands helplessly, and took the gauze from his hand, "Actually, I suggest that you better go and get a tetanus vaccine, after all, it is a hand that has been cut by a knife, so you have to be careful." β
- Tetanus?
Moving his gauze-covered fingers slightly, Wen Yifan replied with a smile: "That kind of thing, in fact, you don't have to worry about it at all, after all, my kitchen knife will be sterilized every week." β
"I see, you're really a person who thinks about the details." With a chuckle, Lin Yunqian continued: "But I think, you shouldn't be able to cook with your fingers, why don't I help you make breakfast?" β
"No need, there's some bread in the fridge, I'm eating that this morning." Shaking his head gently, Wen Yifan politely rejected him, then turned around and took out a large bag of bread from the refrigerator.
It's not because she's afraid of trouble, but Wen Qingyu's girl is really picky, I'm afraid that she won't eat a bite of the food made by strangers, and skipping breakfast is very harmful to her health.
"Whatever you want." Yawning, Lin Yunqian smiled helplessly, "But then again, Yunhe's security seems to be a little poor, the murder of the police only happened some time ago, and there was another murder case recently, and the frequency of this kind of homicide is really rare." β
Destroy the door...... Table......
Looking back and smiling, Wen Yifan just replied lightly: "Yes, it's terrible." β
- Although this case does not explain anything, it happened at this time, and it has a different meaning.
If he were a writer, he would have set his sights on the case β even if it might not be that interesting, for the simple reason that he loved writing.
An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Lin Yunqian thought quietly.
If there is really no interesting inside story in this case, then the writer will definitely abandon it, even if it is a murder case.
But now, as the "successor", he has come to Yunhe, and after a small victory over the writer, he has come here with dignity, in order to show the posture of facing the battle, and in order to win back a game, the writer will inevitably take action in the short term, and there is no doubt that this case is a good entry point.
At that time, the first battle between himself and the writer will take place in this murder case!
Therefore, the next action is only to focus on this murder case, and you will soon be able to wait for the first encounter with the writer.
Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that the writer is a police officer, so it is possible that even if the writer does act, he can use the identity of the police to hide himself from being discovered.
But it's better that way.
Because if there is no movement, excluding the writer using other means to hide, he is basically the person who is engaged in criminal investigation, which further narrows the scope and is self-defeating.
INTERVIEWER So writer, what kind of surprise can you bring me?
At the same time, Wen Yifan was quietly looking out the window, and the thoughts in his mind floated out again.
- Now, I'm afraid that the "heirs" are also paying attention to this case!
The general details are almost understood, and judging from the current clues, this is indeed a very interesting case.
The cleansing of souls, the descending of angels, the poems written in blood on the walls, and the codes left for the police gave him a desire to solve the mystery.
But it is obvious that this is a special period, and the heir has been killed openly, so the next action may have to be considered.
Based on his past experience and understanding of the heir, Wen Yifan is almost 100% sure that he must be paying attention to the progress of this case, and judging from his ability, he must be able to deduce that he is paying attention to this case.
In other words, the current situation has long been doomed, and the first battle between himself and his heir will inevitably start in this case.
But don't underestimate this first battle - although it is said to be the "first battle", everyone on both sides knows that if you are not careful and show your flaws, it is likely that everything will end in the first battle.
A simple case, due to the game of two people, has long since turned into a competitive game!
And Wen Yifan knew that he had to join.
One is because the case is too interesting, and the other is because this is the best chance to gain the upper hand in the game with the heirs.
The heir knows that the writer will inevitably be interested in this case, so he wants to target the writer through this case and obtain incriminating evidence; The writer also anticipated this move by the heir, and planned to follow the path and find his identity in reverse when the heir investigated himself.
In other words, it's a battle that neither of them can escape!
At this moment, the corners of the two of them with ghosts showed a treacherous smile on their mouths, but they never thought that their mortal enemies were each other in front of them.
"Jingle bell-" At this moment, Wen Yifan's phone rang.
When he saw the caller's name clearly, his expression unconsciously became solemn.
Yan Feng......
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
- Why did you call me at this time?
Quietly glancing at Lin Yunqian behind him, he thought silently.
- When I call now, there are only two possibilities, one is about something when I was in Yunxiang, and the other is something else.
However, at this point in time, the latter is more likely than the former, so it is almost certain that the call was made for the recent murder.
But now the question is not this, but - how to hide that you know this with the criminal investigators?
You know, there is a stranger standing in the villa nowβeven if he knew about it, the chances of it being exposed are low, but it can't be ruled out, so he must be kept away.
ββPick up the phone normally, no matter what the other party says, first echo a few words, look and tone must be normal, and at the same time pretend to wake up Wen Qingyu and go up to the second floor.
Almost instantly, the next action was decided, and Wen Yifan dialed the phone.
"Hey, what's the matter?"
In a slightly relaxed tone, he silently observed Lin Yunqian, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that the latter's attention was obviously not on him.
But that's not enough.
"Yun Qian, help me put the bread in the microwave to heat it up, I'll wake up Wen Qingyu."
Speaking of the phone, Wen Yifan said softly, and after seeing that he didn't have too many doubts, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and slowly walked up to the second floor.
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing, are you in Yunhe now?" Yan Feng's voice came from the other end of the phone, and it sounded very quiet, as if it was in an office or something.
"That's right, I'm in Yunhe right now," Wen Yifan thought for a moment, and then replied affirmatively, "When the time comes, you seem to be a long way from Yunhe City now!" β
- Come on, let me see what the purpose of your call is.
"No way, the orders above will always be so painful, and they will never consider your feelings," Yan Feng on the other end of the phone smiled bitterly, "But when I'm not there, Yunhe is really not peaceful!" β
"Does Team Yan think there's anything unusual?" Wen Yifan's voice was a little puzzled, and he asked.
"The recent killing, compared to Mr. Wen, I have also heard of it, I listened to Liu Wenyu's report on this case, and it seems that the hidden things are not as simple as they seem." Said with a little meaning, "I guess I am well-informed, and I have learned a lot of inside information!" β
- Is this a test of whether I will hide it from him?
Wen Yifan secretly laughed, your abacus is too simple, Captain Yan.
Presumably the information that Liu Wenyu revealed to me before is also what you meant! Deliberately asked him to reveal some information to me that had not been reported to the public, in fact, just to see if I would be honest with you at this time - a slightly clever method, but unfortunately with the wrong person.
"Of course, through yesterday's collation and the information that Liu Wenyu sorted out for me, I also have a little understanding of the case," he chuckled lightly and replied unhurriedly, "Therefore, I can be regarded as having my own conjecture!" β
"That's really good, that's why I found Teacher Wen today," Hearing this, Yan Feng continued with his words, "I want Teacher Wen to participate in the investigation of this case!" β
His eyes narrowed slightly in an instant, and Wen Yifan understood Yan Feng's cunning almost instantly.
- This is a temptation.
If he had concealed that Liu Wenyu wanted to reveal the news by himself, it would be easy for him to suspect him, and if it was exposed in person, it would be even more difficult to deal with the past, so he could only tell the truth.
But even if he told the truth, he fell into Yan Feng's trap.
In this way, I have to join the investigation team and investigate the case with the police - because as an insider, I have the obligation to cooperate with the police in handling the case, and I usually give people the impression that I am very interested in the case, in other words, it is particularly strange to refuse this request.
To sum up, I must accept this condition.
But in this way, the question arises - is this a trap set by Yan Feng for himself?
You must know that the bizarre degree of this case is no less than the murder of the police, if Wang Hongjie will be targeted by the "Yunxiang Murderer", the real murderer of this case will obviously be targeted by him.
So it's clear that by joining the investigation team, you're setting a "cordon" for yourself β you're also involved in the investigation, and if the suspect goes missing again, you're bound to be the number one suspect.
The viciousness of this "cordon" lies in the fact that even if you don't act, you can't escape the fate of being suspected.
With the characteristics of "Yunxiang Murderer", inaction is even more abnormal, and it is easy to be interpreted as "Yunxiang Murderer is afraid that he will be suspected, so he gives up his action".
In other words, if you don't act, you will deepen your suspicion.
Although the words of action can be interpreted as the "Yunxiang Murderer" is not locked and is not afraid of threats, and if he does not act, it can also be interpreted as the police are in place, but in the final analysis, this is just a temptation, and it is easy to expose his attitude, which leads to the situation being controlled by Yan Feng.
To kill or not to kill, it seems to be a multiple-choice question, in fact, both paths lead to a dead end!
This is an alternative "mille-layer game", a situation from which you cannot stand alone.
To make matters worse, there is another threat that has not yet been dealt with, and if you participate in such an operation as a civilian, you will undoubtedly be targeted by the "heirs".
- The situation seems to be a bit unfavorable, but fortunately, it is not completely out of control.
Taking a deep breath, Wen Yifan quickly replied: "Although it is very attractive, but, Captain Yan, I am a civilian, not a policeman, and I can still figure out the relationship between the two." β
It is neither a rejection nor an acceptance, the main effect of this sentence is that it can alleviate the current situation and grasp Yan Feng's attitude. At the same time, whether it is rejected or accepted at that time, it does not appear so eager.
"Actually, it's not like Mr. Wen thought, we just couldn't crack the code left by the suspect," Yan Feng sighed, "There are usually no cryptographic experts in the bureau, and I have talked to them one by one about the people who have just been transferred - it is not reassuring at all, and it is because of this that I found you, and I hope you can help them when I am away." β
- I see, is it just to decipher the code? It may be a lot simpler, but there's a catch......
"Captain Yan, I'm a civilian, and I have my own relatives at home, it would be bad if I were targeted by this kind of murderer, I really don't have the courage to face a vicious murderer - besides, he is also a murderer, which undoubtedly makes my danger even heavier."
- So, Yan Feng, how will you solve this matter?
"Don't worry, Mr. Wen, there is something about your assistance in our investigation, before the criminal is caught, it will not appear on any police files, and even now the conversation between you and me, I am just recording it with my own mobile phone - these materials, now only I know, until the case is solved, this information will be entered into the police records, so at this point, Mr. Wen don't worry, I have made sufficient preparations for you."
- Very good, in this way, I am not afraid that the "heir" will find himself, and now his worries are only "whether to do it or not".
So, how do you find a way to get hands-on without attracting attention?
While thinking like this, Wen Yifan immediately made his own decision:
"Okay, so I'm relieved. Although I don't know much about classical ciphers, and some of my previous knowledge is only superficial, I think my knowledge of math should be able to help you, so I'll do my best. β
"Thank you Teacher Wen for your understanding, this time, I wrote it down." Yan Feng thanked him.
- This time, I also made a note of it, Captain Yan.
Wen Yifan's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a little cold killing intent.
