The way he smoked always reminded me of what happened to me in middle school, and I was disgusted and stood away from him. He didn't step forward either, smoking a cigarette.

The light of the street lamp cast my shadow on the ground, thin and long, lonely and lonely.

After a while, Xiao Se snuffed out his cigarette and walked over to me. He stood still in front of me, arms folded, and stared at me thoughtfully.

"What do you see," I felt uncomfortable.

"Is there any backstage surveillance in your theater?" asked Xiao Se.

"No, if only there was surveillance." I know that the theater is a certain age, and although it has been renovated, the theater is mainly used for internal rehearsals of the company, and it is not external, so there is no monitoring equipment installed.

Xiao Se smiled. "Aren't you stupid, in this case, why don't you want to think about it, if Lan Jingyu deliberately framed you, why don't you just say that you went out for half an hour, but say that it was 20 minutes If Ye Zihan really fell from the stairs at nearly 8:20, you ran back to the VIP room from the turntable on the third floor, the time was too rushed, wouldn't half an hour of time to commit the crime be more sufficient."

I looked at him in bewilderment. "What do you mean, do you suspect that I'm lying?"

He shook his head. "How could I doubt you. I think it's necessary to get this straight. Let's go to that VIP room now. ”

"Now," I was stunned.

"yes, if you don't figure it out right away, you won't sleep well tonight. You wait here, I'll go to the head of the regiment and get the key. Xiao Se didn't wait for me to react, and ran away like a gust of wind.

I stood still, like I was stuck in a thick fog, unable to tell the way.

Xiao Se came back soon, and Captain Yu actually gave him the key to the VIP room. He dangled the keys in front of me. "Let's go, I've already called the driver to pick us up."

The one who came to pick us up was still the fat-faced Uncle Xiang from last time, and he still smiled when he saw me.

Back at the company, we went straight to the VIP room, where Xiao Se opened the door with the key and entered.

"Sure enough, this VIP room is also decorated in red, the same as the one from the last symposium." Xiao Se looked around for a while, and then asked, "When you went out to buy coffee, where did Lan Jingyu sit?"

I gestured to the single couch next to the floor clock.

Xiao Se walked over and sat on the sofa, and said clearly: "I can't see the clock when I sit here, but push the door in, and I can see the clock at a glance." ”

"What does this have to do with Ye Zihan's fall from the building," I am inexplicable.

"It has nothing to do with Ye Zihan, but it has something to do with you." Xiao Se smiled mysteriously, "Well, let's do an experiment." You come and sit in my place, I'll go out for a cigarette and I'll be back soon, you wait for me, remember not to look at the clock, and don't look at the time on your phone. ”

"Why" I don't understand.

"Regardless of why, just do what I say." Xiao Se walked out of the VIP room quickly and closed the door.

Confused, I sat down on the single couch next to the grandfather clock. Time passed minute by minute, Xiao Se never came back, I was restless, just like when I was waiting for Qin Feng before, anxious and irritable, complaining in my heart, what the hell is smoking a cigarette for so long

The door finally opened, and Xiao Se strode in. "How long have you been waiting for me?" he asked, as soon as he arrived.

"It's almost 20 minutes at least." I couldn't help but complain, "Does it take so long to smoke a cigarette, how many do you smoke?"

Xiao Se smiled slightly. "That's your delusion, I've only been gone for less than 5 minutes."

"How is that possible," I exclaimed, "I've been waiting for a long time. ”

Xiao Se pointed to the fashionable watch on his wrist. "There's absolutely no mistake, I'm pinching the time to go out and come back in. The reason why you think it's going to take a long time is that the overall wall here is red, and when you are exposed to too much red, you will feel anxious and feel longer than you would in a space with other colors. Lan Jingyu said that you went out for 20 minutes, it should have been affected by the color of this room, and it may not have been deliberately framed against you. ”

I think it makes sense, but there are still a lot of questions. "Red makes people anxious, why are the VIP rooms here decorated in red."

Xiao Se smiled: "The effect of red is not just to make people anxious. Red is the most eye-catching color and will have a strong impact on the vision. Just pay attention to soothe the feeling of pressure and match it well with other colors. The decoration style of this VIP room is still good, the walls are red, the tables and chairs are gray, and the elegant dark tones are added to the uniform bright tones, which looks elegant and modern. VIPs are treated differently than you, so you don't need to wait here for people, and you won't feel anxious. ”

This sounded quite knowledgeable, but I had no intention of continuing to discuss the issue of decoration colors with him, thinking that although Lan Jingyu may not have intended to frame me, she must be suspicious of me. Zhang Teng was also suspicious of me, and the two policemen did not rule out my suspicion. Somehow became a suspect, and I panicked. "Lan Jingyu and Zhang Teng are both suspicious of me, in fact, they themselves are the most suspicious"

"How to say," Xiao Se put on a posture of listening attentively.

"When I went to buy coffee, I heard the sound of the door opening, but I didn't see who went out through the door in the corridor, if Lan Jingyu and Ye Zihan went out together, pushed her down, and then returned to the VIP room while I wasn't paying attention" I didn't look back when I bought coffee, if Lan Jingyu sneaked in quietly, I really wouldn't have found out, but, in case I turned back, Lan Jingyu wouldn't have thought of this possibility, or perhaps, she wasn't afraid of me turning back, as long as there were no witnesses, she could have said that she had gone out for a walk, I didn't see Ye Zihan However, when I returned to the VIP room at 8:05, Lan Jingyu was there, and Zhang Teng said that Ye Zihan fell from the building close to 8:20, which was impossible to do. Or, Zhang Teng deliberately said the wrong time, "The more I think about it, the more confused I become, and my head hurts."

"Let's put Lan Jingyu aside and talk about that Zhang Teng." Xiao Se seemed to be more interested in Zhang Teng, "What is the reason for your suspicion of Zhang Teng?"

"Do you remember when we went to find Ye Zihan that night, we overheard her conversation with Luo Wenhao?" I asked.

Xiao Se nodded, and immediately reacted: "The person Luo Wenhao asked Ye Zihan to be careful about is Zhang Teng, his surname is Zhang, could it be?"

"It's the son of the head of Zhangjia Village." I took over the conversation and told him Ye Zihan's worries and worries by the way.

"I see." Xiao Se suddenly said, "But it doesn't make sense, what is his motive for harming Ye Zihan He killed Ye Zihan's sister, it's a blessing that people don't pursue it, why did he come to harm his sister again"

"Could it be, Zhang Teng knew about Luo Wenhao's plan to take revenge on him, and thought that Ye Zihan was also involved, so he retaliated against her in turn" I guessed, "Yes, maybe Lan Jingyu conspired with Zhang Teng, and then blamed me." I went to the turntable on the third floor to find Lan Jingyu, and Zhang Teng also saw me and Zihan come down from there together. ”

Xiao Se asked: "The turntable on the third floor, do you often go?"

"We rarely go there, and I only learned from Li Sumiao that there is such a place where you can look in the mirror." I got angry as I spoke, "What does this have to do with Zihan falling from the building, is it possible that people who often go there are suspicious of how you believe in Lan Jingyu so much, are you also tempted by her like Qin Feng?"

I realized something and covered my mouth with my hand. How did Qin Feng shake it out, if it reached his ears, it would be miserable, so he quickly said the words: "I just think that Qin Feng and Lan Jingyu are very close, and sometimes they are partial to her." ”

"I'm not interested in paying attention to all the in your group." Xiao Se squinted at me, "As for Lan Jingyu, if you want to tempt me, you must have more money than her." ”

I bit my lip. "I'll be serious with you"

Xiao Se smiled mockingly. "I'm serious, it's you who. Do you care very much, I will be tempted by Lan Jingyu"

The embarrassment made my whole face burn, and I turned around and walked towards the VIP room door.

I opened the door, but Xiao Se took the first step, propped his hand on the door, and blocked the door from letting me out.

"Get out of the way," I said angrily. But he still stopped at the door and looked at me with a smile as if I was a little animal for people to see. I stomped my foot, pushed him hard, and slipped out from under his arm as he slumped.

I was irritable, low on energy, didn't know where to go or what to do. After taking a few steps, I suddenly realized that I was still wearing a light blue slip dress from the rehearsal. When I was in the hospital just now, I stayed outside with Xiao Se for a while, but I didn't feel cold.

Turning into the corridor at the other end, the door to the dressing room was still open, and as soon as I walked in, Xiao Se followed.

I glared at his face and said, "Please go out, I want to change my clothes"

A wry smile tugged on Xiao Se's lips. "I'm really a hooligan, how do I know you want to change clothes. Okay, I'll go out right away, and after you change your clothes, let's go to the turntable where the accident happened. ”

He immediately walked away. I pulled the door to close it, and he slammed the car around and nearly slammed it. "Remember to lock the door so I don't break in." He grinned.

For a moment, I felt the urge to push the door and bang on him. As if he had seen through my thoughts, he quickly retracted and retreated to a safe distance.

I closed the door and locked it, that guy was a hooligan by nature, and I couldn't trust him.

After a quick change of clothes, I pushed the door open and exited. Xiao Se leaned his back against the wall, his eyes lowered, so quiet, so distracted. So much so that when the door was suddenly opened, he was barely alarmed. "Hey" I shouted, he raised his head, his eyes quickly circled my face, raised his eyebrows and frowned, and said, "You really locked the door, am I still so nasty in your eyes?"

"If you didn't want to go in, how would you know I locked the door," I questioned unceremoniously.

Xiao Se looked at me deeply and did not speak again.
