Chapter 36: A Dark Secret
When Nie Qian said this, her eyes were very complicated, revealing a sense of vicissitudes that did not belong to her age, as if an elderly man was telling his children and grandchildren about his life. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I put down the chopsticks in my hand and looked at her, and asked softly, "What has happened all these years?" Also, what about your parents? Why haven't we heard you mention it since we were together? ”
But what I didn't expect was that as soon as this question came out, Nie Qian's eyes turned red again, she was a little emotional today, could it be that the act of knocking over the cake just now really gave her such a big blow?
She lowered her head, bit her lower lip, and said slowly after a while, "Can we not talk about this today?" ”
This was the second time she had said this to me, the first time was in the VIP lounge of Happy Manor, and at that time I could feel that something must have happened in Nie Qian's home.
Although I really wanted to ask for a clear understanding, when I saw the other party's pitiful appearance, my heart softened, and I didn't ask anymore, otherwise my birthday might become a memorial service.
Suddenly, we all lost the mood to talk again, and the atmosphere in the room became dull again, and I turned my head to the balcony and looked at the dim sky outside, like a rapidly aging face, gradually losing its luster.
Night has fallen.
At this moment, my heart is calm, at least I don't think about anything about the case, which is probably a kind of happiness, right?
"Ugh." Nie Qian sighed softly and looked at me with disgust, "You person, don't you have nothing to say if I don't speak?" Really. ”
I scratched my head, smiled awkwardly at her, and stifled a ridiculous sentence, "Your food is so delicious, I'm going to cook it for me every day." ”
"Think beautifully, who am I? Why do you cook for you every day? ”
Nie Qian gave me a blank look, almost missing my soul.
I don't know if she is nourished by love, she is becoming more and more beautiful at this moment, and she faintly reveals a mature woman's charm, which stirs my heart.
"It's only natural for a wife to cook for her husband." I'll be serious.
Nie Qian glanced at me again, and said playfully: "Don't talk nonsense, who is your wife?" ”
I pretended to be surprised, my eyes widened, and I pretended to be stupid and said, "What? Zhou Gong's big gift has been done, why is it not counted? Is it too little? ”
"Get out!"
Nie Qian's face was flushed with shame, and she grabbed a chopstick on the table and threw it at me.
I shrunk my neck to avoid it, then jumped up from my seat, spread my hands, and ran towards the other person with a wicked smile on my face.
In an instant, the two of us seemed to be children again, chasing and frolicking around the room until we were exhausted, and then we both collapsed on the large sofa, staring at the ceiling above us in a daze.
"Joon, is there any new development in the case?" Nie Qian suddenly changed the subject.
"Yes, and it's not going well, so you have to be very careful."
Since I agreed to the other party, I no longer concealed it and told Nie Qian the progress of the case.
The latter listened quietly, thoughtfully, and waited until I had finished speaking before he spoke: "I see, I know that if something serious had not happened, you would never have been so abnormal." ”
Speaking of this, Nie Qian suddenly smiled, "You didn't see the way you looked when you entered the door, you looked like a thief, it's too funny." ”
I turned to look at her sideways, and pretended to be resentful and said, "It's you who have gone too far, and you have closed the curtains at home, and I can't even find the way in this dark place, except for fright, where is there any surprise?" ”
When Nie Qian heard this, she snorted unconvinced, "That's because you're not familiar with this place!" How big is this? If you were to live here for a year or two like me, I would keep you able to walk with your eyes closed, and you could touch every corner of the house with your eyes closed. ”
Suddenly, my whole body trembled violently as if struck by lightning, and I sat up from the sofa suddenly, repeating Nie Qian's words just now in my mind.
If two years can give a person a good idea of where they live, then it is not a fantasy to work for two years in a small and simple place like the Revenge Chamber, and to find any corner of the room with your eyes closed.
I slapped my thigh and shouted, "That's right! How could I not have thought of this earlier?! ”
But it didn't take long for my excitement to come up, and it faded.
I tried to remember that on the day of the crime, I no longer remember whether Xue Xilin left the secret room before the lights went out, but whether she left or not, there were indeed only eight people in the room when the police broke down the door.
So, the question arises, if she stayed in the secret room after the lights went out, then how did she leave unnoticed after the killing?
If she had left the secret room before the lights went out, it obviously meant that Kang Long already had the ability to kill Li Qing in the dark, so where did his ability come from?
The answer is actually self-explanatory, Xue Xilin.
In this way, things became logical, Xue Xilin and Kang Long in order to take revenge on Li Qing, the former gave up the excellent working environment to come to the Happy Manor, while the latter did everything possible to get close to the deceased and get acquainted with the relationship, and then, with the help of Xue Xilin, Kang Long figured out the entire revenge room, whether it was the game recording or the room layout, or even every seat and corner, they could do exactly it in the dark.
This is not an impossible task, as long as there is enough time and patience, and Xue Xilin and Kang Long obviously have no shortage of both.
Thinking about this, my mood suddenly brightened, and when I turned my head, I saw Nie Qian's watery eyes staring at me, and she was waiting for my explanation with a puzzled face.
I sat upright, looked at her with a serious face, and said with concern, "Can you promise me one thing first?" ”
"What's the matter?"
"Don't go to work."
Nie Qian was stunned, and the suspicion on her face became even thicker, "Why?" I can't just take a leave of absence on the first day of work, right? ”
"It's not about asking for leave, it's about not going."
Nie Qian's attitude suddenly became serious, she looked me in the eye and said, "Give me a reason." ”
To be honest, there is an addictive sense of accomplishment that comes from uncovering a mystery, but the closer I get to the truth, the more melancholy and worry I feel after a moment of climax.
Even fear, the fear of a murderer who is still at large.
Because of this, every time I want to tell Nie Qian about the progress of the case, I hesitate, afraid that she will also be infected by this emotion, and even more afraid that this emotion will spread around me.
In fact, saying or not saying it can't change anything, so when Nie Qian asked me to give her a reason again, I had to tell her the modus operandi of the murderer I just thought of.
Time flies by inadvertently, I look out the window, the moon is lit up at some point, flickering in the flowing clouds, it is difficult to see the stars in the city nowadays, but I know that they are all in the sky, right above my head, watching us.
Winter nights always get dark earlier, and in my opinion, this is God's favor for people who are away from home to go home early and share their time.
After listening to my story, it took Nie Qian a long time to recover from the shock, looked at me and said, "All this sounds logical, but after all, it is your reasoning, how can the judge convict Kang Long based on your speculation alone?" ”
"That's exactly what I'm worried about, so if Kang Long doesn't get caught, we'll be in danger for a day, and besides, the murderer's methods are too cruel, which is why I stopped you from going to work."
"Maybe you're right, but have you ever thought that he is the one who commits crimes, and he is the one who should be punished, but the people who worry all day long have become us, what kind of truth is this?"
I didn't understand what she meant for a moment, and I wondered, "You're right, but that's the reality." ”
"No, it shouldn't be like this!" Nie Qian seemed to have suddenly changed as a person, and said in a tough tone: "Many really wicked people can't even be punished by the law, and some people can't even atone for their sins, so we have to use some extraordinary means to deal with them, so that we can really live a peaceful life." ”
I looked at her in amazement, and felt a palpitation inexplicably, I couldn't have imagined that these words would come out of Nie Qian's mouth.
And the extraordinary means in Nie Qian's mouth, I think it should be some means of countering violence with violence, right? In today's society, there seems to be an increasing number of people who have this view.
I can't help but wonder, is it they who are wrong, or is society wrong?
Nie Qian also seemed to feel her excesses, and she was silent, she stood up silently, walked to the table, and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
Looking at her sexy but slightly thin back, I suddenly felt an urge to understand what had happened to her in the past three years.
I would love to know what it was that turned this innocent and innocent girl upside down!
However, this thought only lingered in my mind for a few seconds, and then I was erased by myself, and I asked myself, do I really need to know this?
I got up from the sofa and stretched hard, I wanted to call Xu Long immediately and tell the other party what I found, but the phone was flipped in my hand for a long time, and in the end it was not dialed out, as Nie Qian said, all this is just my own reasoning, there is no evidence at all, even if I say it now, it is still useless, and the top priority now is to find Kang Long and let him return to the control of the police.
And this, Xu Long is already doing.
Now, a moment of peace is a luxury for me, and I don't want to let it go easily.
While I was pondering, I heard the sound of the door opening, and then Lin Hui and Zhong Lu walked in together, walked in front of me, and stopped.
Lin Hui winked at me, overjoyed, and then bumped his elbow against Zhong Lu beside him, as if to signal something.
Just when I was puzzled, Zhong Lu raised her head, looked at me with an embarrassed expression, and said in a voice like a mosquito...... Luo Jun, I misunderstood you just now, so I lost my temper, don't take it to heart. ”
I was surprised that she actually came to apologize to me, but I immediately thought of the reason, it must have been Lin Hui who told her about me.
I frowned slightly, and sighed in my heart, although it was a matter of fire to be misunderstood, I was even more reluctant to involve Zhong Lu in this case.
That's a matter of life!
