Chapter 17: The Chainsaw Massacre

"Her subconscious suddenly repelled hypnosis, so the hypnotic process was interrupted." Xie Sanqiu said as she helped Pixi to lie flat on the bed, and she casually took out a purple vial from her body, and after unscrewing the cap, the whole room was filled with fragrance.

"Is it lavender's essential oil?" Long Xirui asked as she sniffed the fragrant and fragrant smell.

"Miss Long is really well-informed, this aromatherapy has a good sleeping effect, and it has a significant effect on relieving mental stress. Please put the third CD in the bag on the table into the player. ”

β€œthe-sound-of-silenceοΌŸβ€ Long Xirui pulled out the CD and looked at the cover on the disc and asked.

"Yes, incense and music can give her a good night's sleep temporarily."

"We seemed to be just a little bit closer to the truth." Long Xirui said and pressed the play button of the disc player, and a quiet voice came from the speaker, with a melodious melody.

"It's a bit of a pity, but it's also a necessity in's mental process." Xie Sanqiu glanced at Long Xirui's questioning eyes and continued, "Our question led her mind to gradually enter the dark place of her heart, which was the forbidden area of her mind, and recalling it would lead to her painful forgetting, or traumatic memory disorder. If her mind is forced into it, the result may be mental madness, and eventually the memory chain will be broken and the mind will be interrupted. She whispered out of's bedroom, lest the aromatherapy create a soothing atmosphere.

Long Xirui also followed out with understanding. "But at least now you've found the key that will open the door to her heart."

Xie Sanqiu nodded slightly and said, "Daring to make painful memories shows that she has established a subconscious trust in me. ”

"You must have a way to make the most of that trust."

"It's just that deep hypnosis like Fang Cai's can't be too frequent, and besides, the next hypnosis, I need to know more about, otherwise it will be useless." As he spoke, Xie Sanqiu's eyes looked at Long Xirui through the thick lenses, "Her fear is related to her students, and it seems that you have gained a lot from your previous trip." ”

"Nothing seems to escape your eyes."

So, Long Xirui told Xie Sangqiu everything he saw and heard at noon, and Hua Xiao'er, who was listening, couldn't help but be amazed.

"Wow! There really is already a second victim, no wonder the gossip magazine is so mysterious, and it turns out that it is not entirely groundless. Hua Xiao'er said and threw a magazine on the table in front of Long Xirui. "Our City Surprises the Chainsaw Massacre ......", the cover title is exactly the same as the magazine that Long Xirui was reading at the newsstand opposite Yingcai Primary School.

"If the murderer is a serial crime, then the case becomes more urgent, and if the case is not solved in time, there may be another victim." Long Xirui said, looking at Xie Sangqiu with blazing eyes.

"It looks like we should go and meet the second victim, hoping to save a little time to solve the case, at least provide some clues."

At this time, the sound of the key unlocking came from the door. The door was opened by Pi Shenglao, who had gone to take care of his wife in the morning and had just returned from the hospital. The man behind Pi Shenglao was half a head taller than him, and above the old man's gray hair, Long Xirui saw the eyes that she was familiar with, so familiar that she could see them even if she closed them.

"Uncle Pi, how is Auntie's health?" Hua Cub asked.

"Much better." Pi Shenglao replied in a low voice. The tragic experience of his daughter and the subsequent cerebral hemorrhage of his wife hit him deeply, and his usually kind smile disappeared, replaced by a lonely and depressed face, because he had not solved the case for a long time, he has been extremely dissatisfied with the police, but he was polite to Hua Cub, on the one hand, Hua Cub came to the house every day to help take care of Pixie, so that he had the skills to go to the hospital to visit his wife, on the other hand, Hua Cub's liveliness and cuteness also made her own charm of being loved by everyone.

"Deng sir, ...... you" Hua Cub blinked her eyes full of surprise and asked Deng Haoran behind Pi Shenglao. In her eyes, seeing these two people together was as strange as finding a fire burning in water.

"I happened to meet Mr. Pi downstairs." Deng Haoran said that he greeted everyone with his eyes, and finally sent his eyes to Long Xirui.

"Sister Xiaoqian just slept, Uncle Pi, you have been working hard in the hospital for a long time, let me help you go back to your room to rest." Hua Cub said and stretched out her hand, knowing that letting Pi Shenglao stay in the living room would only embarrass everyone.

Deng Haoran looked at Long Xirui, then at Xie Sanqiu, and said, "The two beauties are perfectly matched, it seems that there is a situation here." ”

Long Xirui and Xie Sangqiu glanced at each other, and then smiled at Deng Haoran: "A lot of situations, and a lot of situations that you must know." ”

Deng Haoran suddenly had a smile on his face: "It seems that you can make the police get twice the result with half the effort, then we might as well get straight to the point." ”

"It's hard to say, maybe we can change to a more suitable place to report the situation." Long Xirui said.

Deng Haoran smiled and said, "Good idea! On the way here, I found that there was a coffee house outside the community, which looked good. ”

The name of the cafΓ© is "Pompeii", and a man passes by in front of the door with a cart full of books and CDs of various colors. Hua Cub jumped over like a curious golden cat, flipping through the pirated CDs.

"Yo, beauty, software, games, movies, TV series, I have everything here, which one do you want?" The peddler asked expertly.

"Are there any new blockbusters coming out lately?" Hua Xiao'er put down the magazine in her hand and flipped through the disc with her free hands.

"Now the new film is not a hot topic, this is the focus." As he spoke, the peddler grabbed two CDs and handed them to Hua Cub.

"Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre Prequel"! Wow! This is too scary, isn't it? Hua Xiao'er exclaimed.

The peddler pointed to the cover of the magazine and said: "Beauty, you see, the magazine has been written, 'Chainsaw murder has appeared in our city', and now the streets and alleys are spreading, buy a disc and go back to see it, even if you take precautions early." ”

At this time, Deng Haoran, Long Xirui, and Xie Sangqiu had already walked over.

"You're selling pirated books and pirated disks, right?" Deng Haoran asked in his professional tone.

"Hey! With pirated copies, who still buys genuine copies, the same thing, different prices, you must be better than me in this account. ”

Deng Haoran's cat-to-mouse energy was about to attack, and Long Xirui suddenly stretched out two fingers to stop the hand he was about to raise. Deng Haoran knew that the matter was important, so he glanced at Long Xirui with a little seriousness and fell silent.

Long Xirui simply walked to the other side of the cart, where there were colorful pirated books, piled up one by one, and she scanned the titles with her eyes. Xie Sanqiu came to Hua Cub'er's side, reached out and took the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" from her hand, looked at it front and back, and then took the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre Prequel".

"I want both." Xie Sangqiu said.

"Okay, eight bucks."

"Plus the book." Long Xirui said, holding a 32-page book in her hand.

Deng Haoran looked at the cover of the book and read: "Words, Sang Qiu (thank-you) very-much!" His voice suddenly rose up, "Doctor Xie, is this a book you wrote?" ”

Xie Sanqiu turned his face and nodded slightly.

"Wow, it turns out that Dr. Xie, you are still a great writer!" Hua Cub'er looked with admiration.

"It's just that I use my profession to explain some psychological and emotional issues." Xie Sangqiu said.

"The fact that your book is here means that it is a bestseller, and congratulations on being pirated." After Long Xirui finished speaking, she asked the vendor again, "How much is it in total?" ”

"Beauty, you are the famous spiritual mentor - Sang Qiu! Today it is really a fake book that meets a real author! For your sake, it's all free, two discs, and a book, and I'm honoring you. As the hawker spoke, he took out another stack of "Talking Hearts" and said with a smile on his face, "Sang Qiu, please sign me a few more names." ”

"You've done a great job! As soon as these pirated books are signed with the author's name, you can sell them for more than the original book. Hua Cub rolled a pair of small eyes and calculated.

The peddler laughed, glared at Hua Cub, and said to Xie Sanqiu: "Blame me for being a little anxious just now, then please sign at least one for me, and I'll keep it for myself." ”

Xie Sanqiu took the pen he handed out a little helplessly.

The peddler took the signed pirated book as if it had been a treasure, and asked with a smile: "Sang Qiu, do you like to watch horror movies?" ”

"What, what do you want to say?" Xie Sangqiu asked.

"A beauty like you watching this kind of bloody horror movie feels even more terrifying than the horror movie itself."

The four of them chose a window seat and ordered coffee and pastries. Deng Haoran used Blue Mountain coffee to sober his mind and listened carefully to the "report" of the three people. Hua Xiaoer finished Xie Sangqiu's speech, Xie Sangqiu finished talking about Long Xirui, Long Xirui finished talking about Xie Sangqiu and talking again, and the three of them added up to talk as long as a morning.

When others were telling, Long Xirui picked up the book "Words of the Heart" and looked at it, only to see that the author's introduction part wrote: Sang Qiu, writer, psychologist, doctor of psychology, national psychological counselor, hypnotist. The introduction to the content of the following book reads: As the saying goes: It is difficult to draw the skin of a tiger and draw bones, and you don't know the heart when you know people. With his rich professional knowledge, years of research experience, unique perceptual viewpoint, and delicate observation perspective, Spiritual Mentor Sang Qiu inspires words, points out the country, and opens the door to the mysterious spiritual realm for you. After reading "The Heart", I will draw my bones.

At this time, Hua Xiaoer finished telling her inconsequential discoveries, and playfully snatched the "Heart" in Long Xirui's hand, and Long Xirui had no choice but to pick up the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". On the cover of the disc packaging is a blurry human face, cold eyes with cold light, jagged wrinkles on the forehead and cheeks, as if wearing a leather mask, and the blurred feeling reflects the gray background, giving people a creepy feeling. Printed on the back of the package is the synopsis: In the middle of summer, five young people drive a car on a Texas highway, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Travis County summer. Suddenly, the figure of a girl in the middle of the road forced the car to stop. They took the girl in the car and wanted to give her a ride. But when the car came to a bend, the girl went berserk and finally took a gun from her inner thigh and put it in her mouth......
