Chapter 52: Mentality
"I actually have a guess in my heart, should we two test the tacit understanding?" Because the topics that the two of them talked about before were a bit heavy, and the atmosphere was a little depressing, Tang Hongye decided to adjust the atmosphere a little and talk about business, but he still needed to cheer up some spirits.
After speaking, he got up and went to the writing desk on the side, found the sticky notes and two pencil heads behind the opinion book, took it and handed Du Juan a piece of paper and a pen, and motioned her to write down the name in her mind, and went to the coffee table and wrote a name on the paper.
After the two of them had written, they exchanged each other's answers, opened them, and smiled a little helplessly, and spread each other's notes on the small coffee table, with the same name written on it - Lu Xiaoping.
"How did you suspect him?" Tang Hongye tore up the two notes and threw them in the trash can on the side.
Du Juan sighed: "When I was thinking about Yin Mei, I suddenly thought of this layer. The first two times when you almost had an accident, Yin Mei was seconded here and had a better grasp of our whereabouts, so I think it still makes sense for her to provide clues to others, but there is one thing that doesn't make sense, that is, the last time, at that time, Yin Mei and Huang Shuai have already gone back, and there is no one to report to the ventilation, how did that person grasp our whereabouts and plan the third time? After all, the third method was not after suddenly rushing out of the car, but making an appointment with a few extras in advance, if I remember correctly, those people arrived earlier than us. So I was thinking that that person must have other ways other than Yin Mei to grasp our whereabouts, and then I thought about those extras.
If you want to arrange in advance that group of people to prepare in the hotel, it is useless to just grasp our whereabouts at work, that arrangement needs to know in advance that we are going to eat in the restaurant that day, you recall, the position of the two tables of people who made trouble that day is the middle row in the lobby of the hotel, that is to say, no matter which side we choose to sit on at that time, we will not stay away from them, to ensure that we are close enough, so that we will go over to help persuade and leave our seats. ”
"Yes, I also had some doubts about this matter, and then I thought of Lu Xiaoping, and I felt as if many questions had been answered." Tang Hongye sighed, "He initially expressed his affection for you and was rejected, and then contacted me, saying that he made a big fuss because he didn't know, so in order to express his sincerity, he asked me to talk about something, and then he has been very frank, I also felt at that time that people behaved generously, if I didn't deal with people awkwardly, it became that my heart was too small, I didn't expect to look back now, and it was really a wolf into the room!" Because he walked around with us a lot, he had asked him to eat there that time, so it was not surprising that he knew that place and had made arrangements in advance. Including the later detention of Hou Changsheng, Lu Xiaoping was also able to do it, after all, he and Hou Changsheng were quite familiar, at least at the beginning, it was impossible for Hou Changsheng to easily have any defensive psychology. ”
As he spoke, his face was a little more confused, and he scratched his head: "But there is one thing I can't figure out, if it was really Lu Xiaoping, why did he drink the medicated drink by himself that time?" Want to use the Bitter Meat Meter? But didn't the doctor also say that the dosage of that medicine is not well controlled, and it will really kill people. Wouldn't it be too risky for him to do that? Is it really worth taking such a risk? ”
"If he did take such a large dose, then there is indeed a certain risk, but have you ever thought that he may not have taken such a large amount at all?" Du Juan put forward another guess of hers, "At that time, he took the cup and drank it, and then there were symptoms, we naturally felt that it must be because the cup was poisoned, so it became like that, in fact, there is also a possibility that he took the medicine himself before he appeared, and then drank the drink, and then secretly put the pre-prepared medicine powder into the rest of the drink, so that he only needs to show us the symptoms, and go to the hospital to check and the symptoms are also in line, there is no problem, there will be no flaws, And it can also make the situation look a little dangerous, in fact, he himself will not cause any problems due to an overdose. ”
"What a bitter trick!" Tang Hongye sneered, "Just because he directed and acted in such a play, so we have a sense of apology for him, and we also feel guilty, after Hou Changsheng's accident, none of us immediately doubted him, after all, in our eyes, he almost became a substitute for death because of me!" ”
The more Tang Hongye thought about it, the more annoyed he became, his hands clenched into his fists, he didn't set off, this feeling of being treated like a monkey was not to mention how bad it was, he gasped for a few breaths, and finally calmed down a little, and then asked Du Juan: "Do you recall, when we were in junior high and high school, did Lu Xiaoping express any good feelings to you?" Didn't he say something before, did you help him with his homework? ”
The cuckoo also looked confused, wrinkled his brows and thought for a long time, and shook his head: "I really can't think of it, I can't think of it at all!" When I was in junior high school, I didn't have any impression of him, he said that his name was Lu Xiaoping, he was a transfer student, I only had a hazy impression when I thought about it, and at that time I helped my classmates tutor more than one or two, have you forgotten? At that time, our homeroom teacher engaged in an activity of leading the advanced to the backward, and you were not assigned a few help objects to help with homework at that time? Even if I did tutor him, I didn't treat him any special way. ”
When Du Juan said this, Tang Hongye also remembered, it was really what Du Juan said, at that time, their homeroom teacher because the students' grades in the class were too polarized, so they engaged in such a tutoring activity, at that time there were dozens of people in their class, and the head teacher asked the students in the top ten in the class to help tutor the homework of the bottom dozen, and later found that it was very difficult for the students outside the ten to maintain their rankings, and hoped that they would help tutor those with bad grades. Maybe he didn't tutor the other party, but his original grades had to decline, so he changed the original arrangement and arranged several students with particularly stable grades to help them with their homework at the same time.
This kind of activity has been carried out for most of the semester, and it has gradually been heard by parents, and several parents feel very unhappy, thinking that tutoring students with unsatisfactory grades should be the job of school teachers, why should it be the work of school teachers, why should it be apportioned to the students' heads? The same students are all studying in the class, why do the top few children have to take on such additional tasks that affect their learning and rest?
Later, the principal apologized to several parents, and asked the homeroom teacher not to put pressure on the top few children in the class, so this advanced to help the latter activity was over, and then there has been no such thing as tossing this kind of thing.
If it weren't for Du Juan mentioning this matter, Tang Hongye would have almost forgotten that he was also the person responsible for helping others with their homework, since it was the task assigned by the teacher at the beginning, and it was not only a special person who was responsible for tutoring homework, this is indeed not something that can cause misunderstanding.
"But that kind of neurotic way of thinking can't be understood according to the model of normal people at all." Tang Hongye was a little helpless and had a headache, "Isn't Zhao Qiwei the same, you helped him by the way, and then all his every move became a code to like him, Lu Xiaoping can't keep it up, is it also like this." ”
Du Juan sighed, if it wasn't for Lu Xiaoping running out of the lake by herself this time, she wouldn't even be able to remember that there was such a classmate, let alone what kind of attitude the other party had towards her in the past.
"His bitter plan is really good, and then he even came to a 'successful retirement', and directly retreated behind the scenes to plan this plan against Hou Changsheng, or this plan against you, because he was accidentally poisoned first, and then delayed the business trip that had a long cycle, so he didn't attend the class reunion later, and it seemed to become an alibi evidence, so that we didn't suspect him in the first place." Du Juan frowned, "No matter what kind of person this Lu Xiaoping was in the past, at least in my opinion, he is now a very scheming person with a very distorted mentality. If he really feels that he has been wronged for so many years and can't get a response, he can come directly at me! Why do you want to do it to someone else? I haven't responded to him, what's your business? What is there to know about Hou Changsheng? It's too much! ”
"Don't do it!" When Tang Hongye heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't feel particularly worried about him against me, but if the target is changed to you, then I can't be as calm as I am now!" And I personally think that if Lu Xiaoping and Zhao Qiwei are in the same state of mind as you said before, then it is impossible for him to resent you, let alone set the target as you. Think about it, apart from the time when Zhao Qiwei firmly believed that you also had a good impression of him, he suddenly rushed out and hugged you, did he try to retaliate against you in other forms after that? Obviously, no, until the end, he thought that you didn't have any good feelings for him from beginning to end, so he chose to commit suicide, although it was stupid to do so, but he did not resent you because of this incident, and he had thoughts of revenge on you. ”
"So you mean, Lu Xiaoping didn't want to make me miserable by targeting you because he hated me, but he fundamentally felt that the person who shouldn't exist here was you, and if you weren't there, others would have a chance?" Cuckoo somewhat understood, but she didn't feel any relief because the other party's goal was never herself, but felt a shudder even more,
In Du Juan's view, it is not a deep love, but a kind of unilateral treatment of the other party as his own private property, and is also committed to excluding other people who covet this precious "private property".
This kind of morbid guardianship and possessiveness is really creepy.
"Okay, let's not think about anything now, what kind of person is Lu Xiaoping, no matter how cranky we are disgusting ourselves now, he won't change anything, our family will leave for home early tomorrow morning, Zhao Qiwei is dead, so a suspicious object has been eliminated, and now all the attention can be focused on Lu Xiaoping's side, which can be regarded as a big problem, let's have a good rest tonight, this time we have a goal, and the next work will be targeted!" Tang Hongye reached out and touched Du Juan's hair, he was actually depressed like a big stone in his heart, but in this situation, he didn't want to reveal any negative emotions to Du Juan, lest she be more worried and blame herself.
In fact, for Tang Hongye, his heart is not very good, after all, he was once deceived by Lu Xiaoping, thinking that this is a frank person who can afford to let go, and knows that the girl who knows that he has a good impression is famous and has a master, not obsessed, not entangled, generous, and can be regarded as a person who makes people feel worthy of dating, who would have thought that those frankness were all carefully disguised, in fact, there were extremely vicious calculations hidden in his heart.
Tang Hongye didn't feel annoyed at all, and he thought more than once, if he had seen through it earlier, would Hou Changsheng have avoided such a situation now?
When he thinks like this, he will feel a special guilt in his heart, as if because of himself, he has harmed his good friend and brother for so many years.
But after thinking about it, Tang Hongye didn't know how to avoid Hou Changsheng's being fooled, after all, the main reason why Hou Changsheng and his wife had a conflict at the beginning was that Hou Changsheng's wife began to attack Du Juan because of his sister's wishful thinking, did a lot of excessive things, and said a lot of excessive things, if you want not to be brought to such an opportunity by Lu Xiaoping, unless you can avoid Hou Changsheng falling out with his wife for such a reason, and want to avoid Hou Changsheng falling out with his wife, Naturally, it is necessary to let the cuckoo bear all the grievances alone, grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Of course, this approach is absolutely unacceptable!
Tang Hongye secretly drilled his fist, hoping to find out Lu Xiaoping as soon as possible and end all the bad things in Zhe.
