CHAPTER VII K

Did we guess wrong?

Is there a way to apply to add friends?

I clicked on the profile of the guy with the nickname "K", only to find that it was all white, and nothing was filled in.

But the phrase "you guessed wrong" still reminded me of some small probability events, and I said no, and the mouse in my hand had already clicked the button of "Apply through friends".

I typed, "Who are you?" 】

[I think I filled in the user's nickname.] The other person's answer popped up in the dialog box.

【K? What's the name? 】

[That's my name.] 】

I suppressed the idea of deleting it right away, and waited until I was done with the next question.

[What do you mean when you say we guessed wrong?] 】

[It's literal, and it's the meaning that comes to mind right now.] 】

Looking at the reply on the screen, I was a little annoyed.

[I don't have time to play mind games with you, either you tell me who it is, or I'll just delete your friend.] 】

The phrase "you guessed wrong" can refer to many things, if it is related to the case I am dealing with, then it may be any of the "murderer", "motive", "method", "evidence", and only a few people who know that I have taken over this case are Shen Tangzhi, Li Yi, Ji Lan, Cheng Cheng and so on.

Shen Tangzhi and Cheng Cheng are not such boring people, not to mention that Cheng Cheng should be investigating the fingerprint matter now, and he has no time or reason to play tricks on me; Li Yi and his two subordinates are sitting in front of me at the moment, how can they be ghosts? The rest is Ji Lan, but it's still not quite right.

[You must be guessing who I am now, don't guess - aren't you very confident in your ability to detect and reason, why are you not sure when the answer is placed in front of you? 】

Just as I was about to type back, the phone rang, it was Cheng Cheng.

"There are results, and it's exactly as you guessed! The fingerprints left at the scene are all the next suicide! Cheng Cheng almost shouted, so I had to keep the phone receiver attached to my ear away a little.

Cheng Cheng's words confirmed my suspicions and explained why the criminals were so bold.

Criminals take advantage of one of our blind spots – even though everyone (including me) thinks there is a serial killer type of criminal, and even thinks that the criminals are likely to be a team, we all forget about the "murderer and victim" crime model!

The identities of the victim and the offender overlap!

In other words, the coercive accomplices I have been looking for are actually the suicides themselves!

Just like a plague infection, when a suicide volunteer is ready to commit suicide, the next suicide volunteer will assist him in completing the suicide and take the "hard drive", and then, the guy who gets the hard drive, will also find the next person to take over the baton, and so on.

"With this clue, all the suicide cases are substantially linked, which is a major breakthrough!" Cheng Cheng on the other end of the phone was very excited, "We can immediately re-file the case and deal with it as a serial murder!" ”

I first congratulated him on his breakthrough, and then said: "Team Cheng, I need to trouble you now - there is a guy with the screen name 'K' who has added my QQ, help me check this guy, my QQ number is 234***987." ”

"Don't hang up, right away."

After a while, Cheng Cheng's voice sounded again in the earpiece: "Aji, the QQ number used by the other party does not exist, it may be that some hidden vulnerability is exploited, we can't get the IP information, but we can help you temporarily block him - what's going on?" ”

While Cheng Cheng was speaking, K sent a line of words in the QQ dialog box: [Want to find out my information? Give up, your police friends won't be of much help. 】

I said to Cheng Cheng, "It's okay. Thanks, Team Cheng, I'll handle it myself. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Okay, stay connected. Be sure to let me know as soon as there is new information! ”

"Yes, definitely."

I hung up the phone and typed, "You may be a clever hacker, but how can I tell if you're who I think you are?" Unless you can prove your identity. 】

[I know where the hard drive is. 】

When this line appeared on the computer screen, my heart pounded uncontrollably!

- This guy on the other side of the network has an extremely deep connection with this incident, and may even be the murderer hidden behind the scenes!

I took a deep breath, my heart still pounding.

[Okay, I believe you are "that person", then, why did you find me? Is it a declaration of war, or is it a show-off? 】

[Because of loneliness.] 】

[Lonely? 】

[I need someone to understand my theory.] 】

[Suicide theory? 】

[I thought you'd have some surprising insight - you're a spirit detective, you should have experienced a lot of strange events, right?] 】

It seems that the other party is not only directly involved in this incident, but also knows me well - if the other party's identity is a hacker, it will be easy to get all my information, but I began to think that I may have thought about the other party's identity too simply.

[I am a spiritual detective who does not reject materialism. I replied to him.

[The conversation has become interesting, and I like the shift.] You said that my theory is a suicide theory, which is a very excessive slanderous term, and you can't jump to conclusions without knowing anything about the same thing, which doesn't seem like the attitude that a "materialist detective" should haveβ€”what do you think? 】

[I apologize to you.] This case has been smashed in my hands for more than half a month without progress, and no matter how good your temper is, it is inevitable that you will be a little resentful. However, based on the information I have so far, I have characterized this series of deaths as "assisted suicide" – oh, and that's pretty much confirmed: the helper is the next suicide, right? If your theory is about how to induce someone to take their own life, then I would call it a "suicide theory," which is a fitting one. 】

Through the previous conversation, I initially judged that the other person was the type of person with an egotistical personality, so I set my role as a listener first. Because the opportunity to talk to him can be extremely rare, I want to guide the other person to speak as much as possible, and every time he says more words, he will give me more research materials.

The other party's word habits, tone, stress response, etc., can be used to profile the crime after psychological analysis.

But that doesn't mean I need to be reactive all the time, I've always liked surprise attacks, and this one was no exception.

[End your own life? Is that how you understand it? No, you don't understand anything at all! That is the must for those who test their qualifications, and it is the only way to understand eternal life! 】

The other party typed out the above line of information at a very fast speed, but then he sent the next message: [Are you deliberately provoking me? Well, you succeeded. But, in retaliation, I'm not going to give you tips for a fee - I was originally going to give it away for free. 】

I didn't answer his words and continued to ask me about the topic I was interested in: [Did you mention "eternal life" literally? 】

I am actually very concerned about his previous message, especially the sentence "That is the must for those who are qualified, and the only way to understand eternal life."

Is there any other understanding of "eternal life"?

What kind of bizarre method of suicide does the "test of qualifications" refer to?

The thought of a part of the brains of those dead people was boiled, and I felt sick for some reason.
