Hidden Pavilion

"Now go and change out of this drunken outfit. Isn't there anything wrong with your body? Poppy said.

Yang Wenbin nodded and stood up, only then did he realize that there was something he had overlooked.

"What about Yan Junli and Li Hong?" Yang Wenbin asked.

"They woke up earlier than you and are gone." Poppy shrugged.

"Let's go? Where did it go? Yang Wenbin asked with some confusion, "The case is closed, aren't the two of them taking a day off today?" ”

"I don't know, maybe it's something temporary." Poppy said hesitantly.

As soon as Yang Wenbin opened his mouth to say something more, his mobile phone rang. It took him a moment to find his phone and pick it up.

Before Yang Wenbin could say anything, Yan Junli's hurried voice came from the other end of the phone, "Wenbin, are you awake?" ”

"Ah, I just woke up, what the hell are you-" Yang Wenbin was a little puzzled.

"Change your clothes, come to the police station, hurry." Yan Junli said succinctly, "Xiao Jingrong is dead. ”

"What?" Yang Wenbin was taken aback.

Twenty minutes later, Yang Wenbin, who had cleaned himself up, came to the door of the police station with Poppy.

"What does it mean that Xiao Jingrong is dead?" The most anxious person was Poppy, she squeezed past Yang Wenbin's side and eagerly asked Yan Junli, "Why did she die?" What do you police do to eat! ”

"Calm down, let's go inside." Yan Junli waved his hand and brought the two of them to his office, also with a cloudy face.

"She was killed last night." Yan Junli closed the door, sighed and said, "Just when we were drunk at Yang Wenbin's house, she was killed by a poisonous needle shot from the window. Three policemen, two guards, none of them noticed that something was wrong, and when they found out, Xiao Jingrong was already a corpse. And the report of mental abnormality on Xiao Jingrong's body is gone. ”

"What did you say?" Yang Wenbin was shocked.

"That's right. And guess what? Yan Junli had a completely loveless expression, "The poison quenched on that poisonous needle is a strychnine." ”

"Joker? But it's impossible......" Yang Wenbin muttered, suddenly as if he suddenly remembered something, "Clown! How's the Joker? ”

Yan Junli spread his hands and said with a "I know" expression on his face, "Now, announce the worst bad news of this century: the clown is out of prison." ”

"What? How could it be! Yang Wenbin's face was shocked, "Did he escape from prison?" Or how-"

"You'd better see for yourself." Yan Junli rubbed his temples with a headache, grabbed the morning newspaper on the side and threw it to Yang Wenbin.

Yang Wenbin took the newspaper and unfolded it, and at a glance saw the headline that occupied the largest page on the front page: Criminals are out of prison? Serial killer "Joker" submits a certificate of mental abnormality!

"Psychological? He's the most sane man I've ever met! Yang Wenbin blurted out, "Where did he get the proof of his mental abnormality?" ”

"What do you say?" Yan Junli rolled his eyes.

"This ...... That's impossible. How is this possible? For the first time, Yang Wenbin felt that he was in a mess, "The others are still in prison, how can they come out to kill Xiao Jingrong and snatch that certificate again!" ”

"Maybe you've forgotten that the Joker isn't alone, the name is synonymous with an organization." Poppy kindly reminded.

"But that doesn't make sense!" Yang Wenbin paced anxiously, "If he has an accomplice, why didn't you rescue him at the beginning?" Do you have to wait until now? Still this way! Oh...... Yes, of course, he's so smart, smart and calm! He didn't plan to escape from prison, but to walk out of the prison gate with dignity, and he wanted to punch me in the face in this way! ”

Yang Wenbin propped up the desk with both hands, he felt a little out of breath, and muttered, "Laughing people." ”

"What?" Yan Junli couldn't keep up with Yang Wenbin's train of thought.

"It's so ironic that the last sentence of the threatening letter sent to the police station, 'Laughing people will laugh last' I never knew what it meant." Yang Wenbin smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head, "We found the book used to cut this letter in Ke Yan's office, which is an anthology of modern poetry. There is no word 'clown' in that book, but there is a sentence 'laughing people are not as good as people', this is not a puzzle, Xiao Jingrong just used the word 'laughing man' instead of 'clown'! I'm sorry, but I'll have to miss me first. ”

After speaking, Yang Wenbin rushed out of Yan Junli's office door.

"Wait! Where are you going? ”

"City Jail! Don't keep up! ”

Yang Wenbin hurriedly got out of the taxi, and before he closed the door, he saw two prison guards escorting Xia Baiyan from a distance, walking in his direction.

"Wait! Wait a minute! Yang Wenbin rushed forward in a few steps to block the way of several people, and said breathlessly, "I'm sorry, may I ask where you are going?" ”

"Who are you?" A prison guard frowned unhappily, and just wanted to drive Yang Wenbin away, but was stopped by the prison guards around him.

"Hey, wait. He seems to be Captain Yan Junli's partner. The prison guard's tone was much softer, and he explained to Yang Wenbin, "Didn't the prisoner file an appeal for mental abnormality? Now we are going to temporarily transfer him from prison to detention for probation. ”

Yang Wenbin looked at the two prison guards, and then glanced at Xia Baiyan, who was always smiling but silent, "I know this is a bit excessive, but ...... Can I have a separate conversation with the prisoner? ”

The prison guard looked at Yang Wenbin with some embarrassment, and finally nodded reluctantly, "Okay, after all, you arrested him." Don't take more than 10 minutes, we'll just wait, and if anything happens, please shout for help. ”

Yang Wenbin nodded gratefully, and the two prison guards stepped aside, leaving Yang Wenbin and Xia Baiyan standing alone.

"That's a rarity, huh." As soon as the prison guards left, Xia Baiyan immediately revealed his true colors. He laughed loudly, sat on the square brick next to the flower bed, crossed Erlang's legs, clasped his arms with both hands, and made a "bang" sound from his handcuffs. "I've been chasing you for so long, I didn't expect you to chase me again one day. What's wrong, you're so lonely in my absence? A movie or something? ”

"Shut up!" Yang Wenbin roared angrily, he almost used all his strength to restrain himself from strangling the madman in front of him, "You know why I'm looking for you!" What's going on with the appeal of mental abnormality! How did you kill Xiao Jingrong! ”

If the gaze could kill people, Xia Baiyan would have been shot into a sieve a long time ago. But the truth is that it can't, so Xia Baiyan is still jumping around like a crucian carp.

"Oh, Yang Wenbin, Yang Wenbin, my dear Physician Yang." Xia Baiyan showed a smirk and approached Yang Wenbin's face courteously, "Do you know that you are like a fried kitten now?" I've always been well-behaved, haven't you seen it? You can ask the two big brothers over there, they are both watching me day and night. Ask them if I've been out of my cell in the past few days. ”

"But you-" Before Yang Wenbin could finish his angry words, he was interrupted by Xia Baiyan again.

"Oh, it's you, Doctor Yang." Xia Baiyan showed a sly smile and said, "Xiao Jingrong has just been arrested, and there is still so much time before the trial, how do you know that she has a valid certificate of mental abnormality?" No way? Could it be that the kind and righteous angel in white would actually forge a medical certificate for a murderer? ”

"You!" Yang Wenbin clenched his fists tightly, but there was nothing he could do about Xia Baiyan's provocation.

Xia Baiyan became more and more presumptuous, he even lazily stretched out his hand and put it on Yang Wenbin's shoulder, his chin was close to Yang Wenbin's ear, and the hot air sprayed near the doctor's ear, "So what? What to do? If you expose me, it will also be tantamount to exposing yourself and Captain Yan for forging medical certificates. Maybe you won't care too much, but what about Captain Yan? He's a civil servant with a decent salary. If there is such a bromine, he finally puts on the black gauze hat again, I don't know what will happen? ”

Yang Wenbin's body began to be a little unstable, he gritted his teeth to restrain the trembling of his muscles, "You poisonous snake, shut up." I'm going to call the prison guards. ”

"No, you won't." Xia Baiyan let out a sullen laugh in his ear and said softly, "Admit it, Doctor Yang." You like the feeling of being a hero, you like the praise that your Captain Yan has praised you and the admiration of the people around you, right? That's why I appeared, every great hero must always have an evil villain by his side. Without me, you're nothing at all. ”

“…… Shut up. ”

"Put aside your boring hypocrisy, you need me, only I can make you have such a wonderful life. Besides, don't you see how similar we are? Xia Baiyan sighed, "I like to fight with you, doctor, I want to see you cornered by me, no one has ever told you how sexy you look when you get angry?" ”

As he spoke, Xia Baiyan stretched out his tongue and licked it along Yang Wenbin's ear.

Yang Wenbin's cold hair stood on end, and he pushed Xia Baiyan away with a force, "Get out, madman!" ”

Yang Wenbin's shout immediately attracted the attention of the two prison guards, and the prison guards immediately pulled Xia Baiyan away and put his hands behind his back.

"Doctor Yang, are you alright?"

Yang Wenbin desperately wiped his ears with his hands, almost collapsed, and had to pretend to be calm and said in a dry voice, "It's okay, I'm fine." ”

The prison guards escorted Xia Baiyan to the police car, Xia Baiyan laughed wildly, the laughter was louder and louder, mixed with a few vague words:

"The demon has taken control of my body, and the laughing man can have the last laugh! Laughers can have the last laugh! Hahahahaha! ”

——————————————————————————

Yang Wenbin was almost depressed when he returned to the police station, he barely supported himself and poured himself a glass of water, calming down a little.

"Wen Bin, what's wrong with you?" Yan Junli dangled his hand in front of Yang Wenbin, his eyes were full of worry, "Are you okay?" Did you go to him? ”

"Yes." Yang Wenbin struggled to squeeze out the words from his mouth, "He...... I'm fine, it's fine. There's just nothing we can do to stop him. ”

"What?"

He knew that the proof on Xiao Jingrong's body was fake. I faked it. Yang Wenbin took a deep breath and said, "He has never been out of the cell, so he must have an accomplice, it was Xiao Jingrong who was killed by the accomplice, and he helped him get the certificate, but at this point, it is difficult for us to find the true identity of the accomplice." ”

Yan Junli sighed, a little regretful, "If only I hadn't made a suggestion to drink last night." If it weren't for the fact that I drank too much last night, I wouldn't have been able to get a call from the police in the middle of the night, and maybe I would have been able to get the investigation in time. Strange to say, it's just two bottles of red wine, and I usually drink a lot of wine......"

But Yang Wenbin obviously interrupted him without listening carefully to what he said, "Yan Junli, I'm ...... I'm having a bit of a headache, so I'm not going to stay any longer, I'll go home and maybe sort out my thoughts or something......"

"Hey, wait-" Yan Junli didn't have time to call out to Yang Wenbin, so he had to add behind his back, "Poppy has gone looking for you, at least tell her where you went!" ”

The journey from the police station to the apartment was obviously only ten minutes, but Yang Wenbin had never felt that this road was so long.

Am I a hero?

No, of course not. I've killed people.

But that's not what I wanted, I was persecuted. Yes, heroes, of course.

But Xia Baiyan was right. Heroes need villains, and there will be no heroes in a peaceful world.

He said I was a lot like him. Are we alike?

No, what are you kidding, how could I possibly bear the slightest resemblance to that neurotic?

That's right...... Only he could completely crush me inside and out every time. Why? Why does he know me so well?

Why would a stranger know me so well?!

Yang Wenbin felt terrible for a moment.

In the next second, his forehead almost hit the door frame of his house.

"." Yang Wenbin cursed in a low voice, took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.

He took a deep breath before pushing the door open.

No, no, now is not the time for crankiness. Xia Baiyan also had a fellow party, and it was the help of that fellow party that made his conspiracy succeed. The top priority now should be to clear our minds as soon as possible and see if we can deduce something from the existing clues.

But after seeing the mess in his house, Yang Wenbin suddenly lost the mind to reason. Wine bottles, wine glasses, take-out lunch boxes, snack bags, and some messy garbage are piled up in the living room, and there is almost no place to put your feet. Yang Wenbin sighed, bent down, and decided to clean up the house first.

He tossed two crooked bottles into the trash and stuffed the snack bag into it.

Looking at the two glass bottles in the trash can, he was suddenly stunned. Did they really only drink two bottles of red wine last night? Let's not talk about it myself, will people like Li Hong and Yan Junli, who often go to the wine hall to socialize, drink so much and pour it?

Yang Wenbin rushed into the kitchen and began to rummage through the cabinets, looking for all the places he could find, and finally found a small white paper bag in the trash can, with the word "**" written on it.

"Sleeping pills...... Yang Wenbin muttered, "No, it's impossible." ”

"What do you say is impossible?"

A slender figure stepped out of the shadows, accompanied by a crisp sound of a pistol being loaded.

Yang Wenbin turned around, and Poppy was holding the Colt in her hand, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at him.

"Poppy ......" Yang Wenbin muttered, "Poppy, you put the gun down, there must be some misunderstanding!" ”

"Is there a misunderstanding? I don't think there is. Poppy smiled as usual, "I'm sorry, Dr. Yang. You're just too kind. ”

Yang Wenbin opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, a sharp pain suddenly appeared in his chest, causing him to fall directly to the ground.

He felt the world spin around, a large expanse of bright red exploding before his eyes, and his consciousness quickly became no longer clear.

In the last seconds of his consciousness disappearing, he saw Poppy holding a gun and shooting him in the heart. Without any hesitation.
