You Yimo drove a police car, parked outside the school in a very low-key manner, and Shi Lingren was also in the car, which made me breathe a sigh of relief.

When he got to the car, Yu Zujia lowered his brows and sighed uncharacteristically.

"Sorry to bother you two, but I don't want you to go if I can."

"What does that mean, please?"

…… I don't want you to go. I mind this sentence very much.

"The trouble is that the other party names the two of you."

"Named? We? It's not a relational household, what are you going to do? "

Shi Ling replied with the usual attitude.

"Bedulan said he wanted to see you both."

After a period of silence, Yu Zujia spoke quietly.

…… Beduran.

The moment I heard the name, my whole body trembled as if I had been electrocuted.

All the pores on the whole body opened, and cold sweat broke out in one breath.

"Why ......?"

I finally got the words out of my mind.

Bédullan was a woman who was brutally kissed by a wolf at the age of seventeen and then betrayed by all her blood relatives.

Since then, she has been involved in several cases in the past in order to get revenge.

She almost does not kill people directly, but skillfully manipulates negative emotions such as hatred and jealousy in the hearts of human beings, and indirectly triggers crimes. Silence together.

…… This is more terrible than killing people directly.

If there is a flower of evil in the world, it means people like her. Before her absolute malice, no matter how heinous the criminals are, they are inferior.

Under Shi Lingren's pretending to be a ghost, she was finally arrested. Now she should be incarcerated in a detention center, awaiting the verdict of the court.

…… Why did she do that? Shi Ling people wipe the sweat that keeps slipping.

"Béduran, what do you want to do now?"

You Yimo straightened his back, stared at Yu Zujia fixedly, and said, it seems that Sister Xiao Mo is also in the dark.

As long as her name is offered, even You Yimo can't joke.

"It seems that Bedullan told the lawyer that there was another murder that the police had not yet found aware of."

Yu Zujia said in a tone without any inhibitions.

"Murder that hasn't been detected yet?"

You Yimo casually extinguished the lady's cigarette in the ashtray.

Blackened smoke wafted and wafted.

As for the details, she only told Shi Lingren and Shen Shuiyue. That's what she seems to say. "

"Why, why did the police look down on us?"

Shi Ling asked.

Since it was Bedullan, it was nothing strange to kill one or two more.

But what is puzzling is why he suddenly wants to confess until now...... Herein lies the problem. Moreover, it is also confusing to be willing to confide in the two of us.

"I don't know. Even if I asked a lawyer, I just insisted...... She has no intention of talking to anyone other than the two of you. "

"By the way, has there been any progress on the killings?" Shi Ling asked.

Yu Zujia covered her face with her hands and sighed deeply.

"Since then, there has been no progress."

"The police hit a bottleneck in the search. Although more than a week has passed since the arrest of Liu Yaoyong and Lin Youya, there has been no progress in the case." Yu Zujia almost pleaded. "There's really no way."

"Wordy. It's because you don't work well that you don't make progress. "You Yimo didn't hammer him big or small." There was no progress on either side of the interrogation and search, and Mu Tongtong's body disappeared like a puff of smoke. Although the progress of collecting surveillance evidence has been slow, after interrogating the nearby migrant workers, it was found that many people seemed to have seen the mysterious woman nearby. "

"I understand this without you talking about it."

You Yimo snorted through his nose.

"Liu Yaoyong and Lin Youya both live in psychiatric hospitals, the former pretending to be crazy and stupid, and the latter claiming to suffer from severe anorexia; Questioning must be conducted in the presence of a lawyer and a psychiatrist, and it can be said that it is better than nothing. Every time we went, Dr. Edward, talked a lot about "psychological counseling for victims of crimes", and when I saw him, I wanted to spit on him and ask him to take it all. If the police weren't cornered, they wouldn't have come looking for you! It's not like I don't understand. But I don't think it's any use to rush to the doctor! After You Yimo said this, he stood up and grabbed the coat hanging from the back of the chair.

"It's just...... To the captain, by all means. This must be a trap. "

The cause and effect of the incident is understood, and having said that, I have no intention of meeting with Bédullan.

There is only one reason, because of fear.

I licked my dry lips and looked at Shi Ling for help.

Shi Ling put on a stinky face and rubbed his hands and feet.

He was stabbed more than a dozen days ago and is now recovering. Of course, the person who did it was Lin Youya.

…… Please, please, decline.

I unconsciously prayed to the Shiling people.

I'm still scared to see Bedulan. Although she is incarcerated in a detention center, there should be no direct harm. Still, I was terrified. Since Bedullan deliberately did such a roundabout thing, there must be an inside story in it. I don't want to involve innocent Shiling people again.

Shi Lingren laughed: "If you believe all of Bedullan's words, then isn't the planned murder of targeting the designated prey and luring the victim out of the trap to fit Beduran's mode of action?" It's even more suspicious. All in all, Captain Yu listened to Beduran's rhetoric, fell into a trap, and captured the next prey for Berduran, right? Okay, I'll go! ”

"I'm not going either...... Wait, why go when you know it's wrong? "

"If you don't take the bait, you don't even know what the trap is. Moreover, the heavens will descend on the Si people, and I will not die! "

As the car drove up, I looked between the two windows in the back seat. Unfortunately, I was distraught, and when I looked out from one side, I didn't see anything, and when I looked at the other side, I saw nothing.

Say you won't die, Shiling people. I thought I knew him, but then I realized that he was so stubborn, and that was fatalistic nonsense. Or a kind of self-hypnosis!

I am reminded of the psychology books of those who overcome fate with the tenacity of their hearts: an explorer who went missing in Antarctica, who dug an igloo in the snow and was rescued three days later; The passenger who was sunken on the ice floe after the sinking ship jumped all night in order not to freeze to death; And, of course, Jack. The story of a man in London who is caught in a snowstorm and tries to start a fire out of wet leaves.

But then I remembered the end: a heap of snow falling from between the branches above him, extinguishing the flame of hope that lay beneath him; Then another speculation came to mind: that the missing explorer in Antarctica had died of hunger and cold before it was found; The passenger who was sunk one day and sunk on an ice floe fell into the water and became an ice mound, which was not discovered until thousands of years later when the global climate warmed and the snow melted.

Take a deep breath, take a deep breath...... Self-hypnosis, this is not my future, not our future.

In the front row of the police car, Shi Ling and Yu Zujia seemed to be fighting each other again.

"No matter what kind of crime it is, it is covered up in its bones - what kind of facts are covered up in this situation? I don't understand what you mean. ”

"Let's assume that there is indeed something underneath the building," Shi Lingren muttered boredly on the car window and then wrote and drew with his fingers, "'That thing' first forced Mu Tongtong in some form, and then gave her bait." Listen up...... You seem to have misunderstood something, and the real culprit is not all on the perpetrator's side. On the contrary, it feels like 'that thing' is actively manipulating the victim. ”

"Victims? But...... Regardless of the ultimate goal, the real murderer usually wants the victim to die, right? ”

"Of course. But no one, including the victim or the perpetrator, knows who exactly 'that thing' is trying to erase. Therefore, if someone else kills someone with other motives, there will be absolutely no suspicion of 'that thing', so in order to create a situation in which someone other than itself will naturally kill the victim, 'that thing' manipulates the victim to act spontaneously in order to arouse the resentment and hatred of a third party. By doing so, we hope to give a third party an incentive to kill the victim. For example, Bedulland, the tragic experience of being uncared for and repeatedly ostracized has shaped her current lonely, tough, and tenacious personality, and she has become a destined murderer! ”

"What's the matter?" Yu Zujia let out a strange scream.

Is there really such a tortuous and ingenious crime? This kind of thing is generally not thought of at all, and even if it is thought of, it will not be implemented, and even if it is implemented, it will not succeed. The murders I know of in the media are more immediate and sudden.

"'That thing' should have had a direct or indirect influence on Bedullan and Liu Yaoyong and Lin Youya. And ...... 'that thing' plan will multiply itself, like Yu Gongyin is a good example. It was as if she volunteered to be a victim substitute. Her life or death didn't matter to 'that thing' at all. ”

Even Yu Gongyin is still alive. She's really like a nice-to-have-to appendix to 'that thing'.

"'That thing' should not have been involved in any specific criminal act, nor had it done anything against the law." By skillfully manipulating intelligence, it plays with prey that falls into a trap, causing them to commit crimes spontaneously and to self-destruction. ”

"Let the obstructors clean up the obstructors?"

"Yes. And it was to let them act so spontaneously, so that even the murderer Berduran did not find out who he was serving before - this is what happened. ”

"Mr. Shi, I don't understand the spontaneity you are talking about. Could it be that 'that thing' did something to them or something? It's not that I can't understand that 'that thing' even counts the fact that the target doesn't act according to its own will, but if the target all acts spontaneously, isn't that the premise to manipulate others? Yu Zujia seems to be leading the topic of supernatural phenomena to the Shiling people, but that's true.

Shi Ling suddenly said something strange: "Let's give you an example...... People have three urgencies, Yu Zujia, suppose you are in my psychological counseling room now, because you drink too much coffee and feel the urgency to urinate. What would you do in such a situation? ”
