Volume V

Nine main lines

Inside the intensive care unit. Chen Weiwei frowned and sat in his chair without saying a word. The sweltering heat provokes the restless chirping of the sleepless insects outside the window. After a long period of annoyance. Chen Weiwei raised his head and said to Cheng Shuai in a tone of implicit questioning:

"Is it necessary for you to do this to the end (referring to the thing that caused Li Han to suffer more than 20 stab wounds)."

Cheng Shuai glanced at Chen Weiwei with slanted eyes. In a contemptuous tone, he replied:

"Do you think that what you make Lao Tzu do is really as simple as playing a game?"

Chen Weiwei opened his mouth. But swallowed the words again. After a long silence. I said a few words heavily." I'm sorry."

Then. Tang Peng, who came out of the toilet, overheard their conversation. The oppressive atmosphere made him feel that something was not quite right:

"What's wrong?"

"It's fine. All right. You've got it right." As soon as Chen Weiwei heard Tang Peng's voice. Suddenly nervous. He didn't want him to know about Li Han's injury." Otherwise. You go and rest first. It's not too early tonight."

"How many knives did you let Li Han cut on yourself." Behold. Tang Peng seemed to have known it for a long time. asked Cheng Shuai calmly.

"Twenty-four knives."

"Twelve knives less than planned. Sure enough, you stupid guy still has a bit of a conscience."

"Damn. That little kid's body isn't any more idiot than yours. If something goes wrong. Where do you tell Lao Tzu to find another free labor force like this? Yours is enough. But the extra twelve knives on Lao Tzu's body can't be ignored. Lao Tzu wants to deduct it from his salary."

"From the inception of our detective agency to the present, the word 'salary' has not existed. You stupid guy might as well save it."

"Damn. That Lao Tzu was stabbed more than 12 times. Lao Tzu"

"You wait" at this time. Chen Weiwei, who was on the side, finally couldn't help but interrupt their conversation. Can you explain that? In the end"

Chen Weiwei's voice did not fall. Suddenly, when he saw Cheng Shuai take off his shirt, he was stunned. Cheng Shuai's body was densely covered with more than thirty newly injured knife wounds. The shocking knife wounds made Chen Weiwei stay there for a moment. when

"Until it is certain that it will not be life-threatening. Lao Tzu wouldn't let Li Han's little kid take the risk. Other than that. All the bodily injuries suffered by Li Han's little kid in this case. Lao Tzu doubled down on him."

Chen Weiwei stayed in the chair with his mouth wide open. I couldn't speak for a long time. At the moment of him. Suddenly really realized this commission of yourself. It's really not as simple as getting your best friends into a terrible game of sin. A sense of remorse of self-reproach gradually emerged as he realized the enormity of the responsibility in this case. Heavy on my heart

"Twenty-four doubles the word forty-eight." Tang Peng walked over indifferently to make a cup of tea. It seemed like a leisurely sip." Other words. You still owe Li Han twelve dollars."

"The moonlight outside the window is so beautiful"

"Diverting the conversation is useless. Think about how to compensate Li Han for these twelve knives."

"Damn. You're not done. Plus thirty-six knives on you. We've got a lot of them. I don't owe that little brat."

"I am me. You are you. And you yourself say double . I didn't say. The twelve knives that owe Li Han. Do you want me to do it for me now?"

"The moonlight outside the window is so beautiful"

Chen Weiwei followed Cheng Shuai's gaze and looked out the window. Only then did I realize that it was not too early. The heavy sense of responsibility made him suppress the guilt in his heart at once:

"That. Although it is not appropriate to mention this now. But. Can we not dwell on this boring question that has nothing to do with this case for the time being. What's next for you?"

"Haven't played the reasoning test game." Tang Peng took a sip of tea lightly. calmly looked at Chen Weiwei, who looked curious. A hunter chases a rabbit. The rabbit ran into a hole under a tree. Out of the hole rushed a tiger. The tiger crashed into a tree. Two dogs fell from a tree. The two dogs came and chased a bear Chen Weiwei. About the above. What do you want to ask?"

"Ahh There's no time to play any reasoning test games right now. We"

"The answer is yes."

"It's a flawed subject. First of all, tigers don't get down the rabbit hole. And dogs don't climb trees either. In addition, it was clearly said that there was a tiger under the tree. Why would those two dogs chase bears?" Chen Weiwei wanted to say something. But when he saw Cheng Shuai's exaggerated expression of disappointment. I had to stop in confusion." How. Did you answer the wrong one?"

"Nope." Tang Peng smiled and shook his head. Continue to drink tea. No more talking.

Chen Weiwei became more and more curious. He pondered for a moment. Suddenly he replied:

"That's right. Where is the rabbit that the hunter chased in the first place?"

Tang Peng gently put down the teacup. looked at Chen Weiwei with a smile:

"That's the point: where did the rabbit go. This question is a standard question to test whether a person has the most basic detective thinking, and it is barely a problem, but there is no correct answer to the question itself. The test is to answer the human mind of a detective. Just like the hunter. No matter how outrageous and unbelievable things happened after that. His eyes must be fixed on the rabbit like a case. That rabbit is the main clue to solve the case. is the main line. A series of things that happened after that. It's just a distraction. Detectives aren't all geniuses. Our thinking is also limited. If you are disturbed by other branches, you can wonder why the tiger can get into the rabbit hole. Why do dogs climb trees. Why do bears suddenly come out of nowhere. Then finally. You will really lose the news of that rabbit, in fact, this is the case in many cases. It's not because the main line is broken and can't continue. It's just because the investigator's train of thought has been taken away by other branches. The rabbit. Stayed in the hole honestly the whole time."

"That's what it is. That said. I only have half the potential to be a detective, no wonder Cheng Shuai rejected me in the first place. I chose you to be his partner." Chen Weiwei smiled self-deprecatingly. Keep asking. But does this have anything to do with the case we're working on?"

Tang Peng glanced at Chen Weiwei. Smiled. No answer. Cheng Shuai next to him grabbed the words and replied:

"Damn. You're simple enough to think. What is the main essence of this case that we are conducting. To put it bluntly, it is just to dominate the thinking direction of a guinea pig detective. And Tang Peng's idiot is talking about a standard detective's thinking method. Got it?"

"Please explain"

"I don't understand that. Your idiot's IQ has gotten lower. The head show is funny. The brain froze."

"You owe me four thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight. Brother-german. Settle accounts. Pay it back right now."

"I was wrong."

"Explain it to me quickly."

"Okay. Brother Chen, don't worry. Listen to me slowly say that the guinea pig detective's mindset should be the standard detective's mindset. Other words. His mind would involuntarily follow the main line of the investigation into the murder of the beautiful Iori. Some of the things that happened around him would instinctively think about whether this matter had anything to do with the murder of Iori. Whether it belongs to the main line or the branch line. We did it before. It is to stuff some originally irrelevant branch lines into his mind to disguise the main line related to the case. Let him think that he has been chasing the 'rabbit', but in fact his mind has been 'tiger'.' Dog'.' Bear's to take it away. A detective if he misses the main line in his thinking. Then you will get more and more lost. It will also get farther and farther away from the truth. So much so that in the end, he will accept a random 'rabbit' that he will accept. In fact, that 'rabbit' is not the one he was chasing at all."

“”

"Damn. Lao Tzu finished explaining. It's good to post a praise into no. What does it mean to be silent there without saying a word. What are you thinking?"

"I'm wondering if the previous few unsolved mysteries were quietly made up by you in private."

Ten old knowledge

This way. After settling Li Han. Chu Mingjun threw his body on the bed physically and mentally exhausted. But he was too sleepy. But I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Once again, those unkempt thoughts filled his head. It made him collapse. But he made sure he had an idea. The case of Miss Iori's murder is definitely not that simple, and the knife wounds on Li Han's body are very shallow. And from the direction of the force of the knife marks. It was Li Han himself who caused these injuries, and he probably used hypnosis and other methods, and more importantly. The murderer can directly kill Li Han and kill him cleanly. But he didn't. As the murderer left behind. He wants to play a game with me. The content of the game is obvious to see if I can investigate the case at the same time. Successfully protect Li Han from asking Li Han some words and the murderer boldly "stayed" Li Han by his side. It is very likely that Li Han did not have any important information. The purpose of playing this "bodyguard game". It's just very simple to distract me. I can't concentrate on investigating the case if I guess correctly. The murderer's original purpose was to borrow Li Han's hand to put me to death. But suddenly changed his mind. That is to say, knowing some of my thinking inertia and personality traits, the murderer has been monitoring me since the moment I returned to China. Maybe I had all this in place before I came. Here's how they did it. I'm confident that I'm cautious enough. Wait a minute. Since they were able to manipulate Li Han to commit murder and "self-harm", it would be easy to extract my information and investigation progress from his mouth, that is to say. They planted a time bomb next to me. And I had to protect it myself, but I had to do it. Isn't this part of the game, both in terms of principle and in the investigation of cases? Such an opponent. No wonder Tang Peng and Cheng Shuai, who are known as the "God of Reasoning" and "Exploring the Sage", also lost at his hands hehe. Interesting. So. this game. I'll play with you

"Ahh Suddenly. Li Han's scream sounded outside again. Chu Mingjun, who had just fallen asleep, jumped up. Rushed out without shoes, could it be that the murderer changed his mind and was going to kill Li Han again. Sky. Mr. LI Han. Don't let anything happen to me, really. Why just throw Li Han in his room like that, don't let anything happen. Million

"Your sister's. It's not enough to quarrel all night. The old lady has to make the old lady angry when she goes to the toilet. Your sister's. Your sister's. Your sister's"

Chu Mingjun had not yet arrived at the "scene of the crime", and a neutral female voice came to his ears. Then what appeared in front of his eyes was this scene: Li Han, who had just bandaged his wound, fainted at the door of the toilet foaming at the mouth. Beside. His godsister Bai Feiyu was wearing pajamas and was barefoot and crazy, and she used slippers to beat Li Han, who had already fainted. I also make up a few kicks from time to time

Chu Mingjun was stunned. A drop of sweat slowly slid down his forehead:

"Fly. Sister Flying Feather. What's going on."

Bai Feiyu raised his head violently. The two eyes swept towards Chu Mingjun as if they would glow red. Chu Mingjun trembled:

"You dragged this bastard in and lived with a dead face, didn't you?"

"Sister Feiyu. He's you off."

"The old lady gave you face and called you to brother. It also gives face to the father who does business in the country. Reluctantly agreed to receive you during your time back home?"

"Yes"

"Good. Then you can get out of the way with this bastard."

"Ahh Sister Flying Feather. Why are you doing this? Have something to say. Say it well."

"Say your sister. Give it to me now."

Then. Li Han, who had fainted, suddenly woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Chu Mingjun standing in front of him sweating profusely. Immediately I wanted to see a savior and cry out to him for help:

"Hero. Save me. Help me."

Chu Mingjun swallowed a mouthful of saliva. While comforting Bai Feiyu. asked Li Han in a low voice:

"Where the hell have you offended people?"

"No." Li Han's tears flowed out of his eyes. With an inexplicable look of being beaten." I can't sleep because my body hurts too much. Just get up and go to the bathroom. Then I met him at the door of the toilet. I kindly said, 'Handsome man. You first.'Who knows. Before he finished speaking, he said."

"Handsome sister." Li Han's voice did not fall. Bai Feiyu raised his foot and kicked him in the face. Then another beating was made

"Oops. Oops. Don't slap your face. Other. Other. Stop. Stop" took advantage of Bai Feiyu's tired rest interval. Li Han finally said with the only remaining breath. Yes. I have something to say, where the hell did I offend you, handsome guy"

"Handsome sister."

"Oops. Ah. Save. Lifesaver. Help"

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight" Chu Ming didn't seem to see it. Resolutely turned his head and went back to the room." "Slam the door shut. After a long time of no more coming out. His shouting came from the room." Sister Flying Feather. Help me prepare. Tomorrow I'm going to go to the 'Hee Hee Playground' with Mr. Li Han to check out some things (the location of Iori's murder)."

"Prepare your sister."

Then. In a spacious but breathtakingly dark building. Tao Ran looked at some of the information in his hand with a leisurely face. From time to time, a little smile appears at the corner of the mouth. Across from him. A dark shadow walked slowly. Tao Ran raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at the black shadow. But soon the eyes returned to the information. The black shadow quietly stopped in front of Tao Ran. Stand there patiently. There was no sound from the beginning to the end. After Tao Ran finished reading the information in his hand. The black shadow calmly spoke:

"It's been a long time since we've seen each other. Think about it. It's been more than five years. I thought you'd be more enthusiastic. Lord Dark."

"Really. Hehe. That's what I should say. I thought I hadn't seen it for so long. You'll at least have a little bit of a happy look on your face when you see me." Tao Ran put down the information in his hand. Smiled and looked up at the man." For you. Just call me Tao Ran. You have the qualifications. But I'm confused about what I'm calling you right now. I'm supposed to call you 'Seraph'. Or Bi Chengcheng. You pick one."

"You still haven't changed. Hehe. It's up to you. The name was left at the door of the orphanage before I had it. It doesn't matter what you call it," Yan naturally walked over to Tao Ran and sat down. With great interest, he flipped through the information that Tao Ran had read before."' Iori-sama murder investigation analysis 'Hehe. When did you become interested in a piece that had been discarded."

"Please don't call those who have died for the 'Noah's Second Coming' plan. Whether they are voluntary or not. They shouldn't be called pawns."

"Huh. You don't have to play out your deceptive theories in front of me. I'm not interested in any of that."

"So. What are you interested in?"

Yan glanced at Tao Ran, who was smiling at him. laughed coldly:

"When did you become a boring person who likes to ask about other people?"

Tao Ran looked at Yan with a smile. There was a moment on the face. Put away the smile:

"There are times. You make me feel more terrible than that guy Cheng Shuai, maybe I should consider getting rid of you now."

"Really." Yan tilted his head and looked at Tao Ran. replied with a smile. Always welcome. Lord Dark."

I don't know why. At that moment, the surrounding air suddenly condensed. The atmosphere is eerie and hair-provoking

"Huh. It's just a joke." Tao Ran suddenly smiled. At the same time, he stretched out his finger and pointed to a figure behind him who was sleeping like a dead pig. I don't need to introduce this one. I'm sure you know."

"Oh. So what should I call him now?' Lucifer is still Officer Wu Wenfei."

Dark depths. Wu Wenfei's body suddenly moved. It's as if I heard their conversation. But then it continues to sleep. And as if everything had nothing to do with him
