Chapter 139 Luo Yihui

◎Your body's reaction is more honest than words◎

Zhao Chenyang finished signing the notebook, his expression a little dazed.

Zhao Chenyang looked at Zhao Xiangwan who was surrounded by a group of police officers. She looked heroic in her olive green uniform and had a unique charm.

Zhao Chenyang asked Zhao Xiangwan in a tearful voice: "What should I do?"

Zhao Xiangwan glanced at her and said, "I suggest you stop waiting for Luo Yihui and go home directly."

Zhao Chenyang suddenly burst into tears: "Go home? Go home to which home? My father and mother are getting a divorce, and they don't care about me at all. I graduated from college a long time ago, and I couldn't stay in a few jobs for long. After meeting Luo Yihui, I lived with him for half a year and managed the nightclub with him. I originally planned to get married after the Chinese New Year. But now...what do you want me to do?"

Zhao Xiangwan looked at her crying heartbrokenly, but he was not troubled at all. He said calmly, "You got what you wanted. Why are you crying?" Then he turned around and left.

Zhao Chenyang was originally crying so hard that he was out of breath, but he was choked by Zhao Xiangwan's words. His crying stopped suddenly, his face suddenly became red, and he started to hiccup. His face was covered with tears and snot, and coupled with the unstoppable hiccups, Zhao Chenyang felt that he had never been so miserable before.

Watching Zhao Xiangwan's tall, dashing, and powerful back as he walked away, Zhao Chenyang was at a loss. He had worked so hard to get this life, but he had ruined it. What should he do in the future?

Walk out of the interrogation room and return to the task force office.

It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and someone came in carrying a lunch box.

The smell of food wafted through the office.

Zhao Xiangwan and Ji Zhao sat at the table naturally, opened their lunch boxes, and started eating.

The lunch box should have been brought from the hotel. It contained stir-fried pork with green peppers, baled beef with celery, shredded potatoes, and a big chicken drumstick. The dishes were quite rich.

Cao Guang said embarrassedly: "Today is a rush, there is really no time to arrange a banquet, so I can only let you two suffer and make do with the boxed lunch."

Zhao Xiangwan had been busy all day and was a little hungry, so she quickly ate her meal. When she heard what Cao Guang said, she smiled and said, "It's good to eat out and waste time."

Li Mingyang had a bad stomach and didn't dare to eat anything too spicy that night. He gave the chicken leg to Officer Xiao Zhou and replied with a smile, "There's only one case left to be tried. With Officer Zhao here, there will be no problem."

The lunch box was a bit hard, so Zhao Xiangwan picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip, then took the initiative to introduce Luo Yihui's basic situation.

When he was six years old, his parents divorced and he was adopted by his aunt. After graduating from high school, he went to study in the United States and obtained a bachelor's degree in psychology. After graduation, he returned to China and worked as Ji Zhao's personal assistant. He was once the administrative manager of the Four Seasons Hotel. Now he has opened a nightclub called Jinbihuihuang in Zhu City, and the business is very hot.

He is a smiling tiger with deep scheming.

After listening to Zhao Xiangwan's introduction, Li Mingyang sighed: "It seems that this is a tough nut to crack."

Officer Xiao Zhou said: "He is less than 30 years old and he has become the owner of a nightclub? He is very clever. Nowadays, nightlife is rich and there are many bars in Luo County. Although the higher authorities require such places to operate in a standardized manner, they always find ways to evade inspections. They are very cunning."

Cao Guang looked at his watch and quickened his eating pace: "The call time is 10 a.m. We still have four hours left, so we really need to hurry."

As the captain of the criminal investigation detachment, Cao Guang has rich investigation experience. He discussed with Zhao Xiangwan: "What do you think about the interrogation and investigation going hand in hand? Through Zhou Haoman and Jun Yuyi's description, our task force speculates that the killer should have been in the hospital for a long time, has a car or works in a car repair shop. We can send someone to visit hospitals in Luo County and Zhu City with Ji Zhaohua's portrait to see if we can find the person."

Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "Okay."

Zhao Xiangwan and Ji Zhao participated in the investigation of this case as experts. The specific investigation work was arranged by the team leader Cao Guang. Zhao Xiangwan only participated and did not take the lead. He only made suggestions but did not draw any conclusions.

Cao Guang asked: "Officer Zhao, will Officer Ji participate in this interrogation?"

Ji Zhao and Luo Yihui are collateral relatives within three generations. According to the principle of relative avoidance, Ji Zhao is not suitable to participate in the trial.

Zhao Xiangwan understood what Cao Guang meant and turned to look at Ji Zhao: "Wait for me in the office."

Ji Zhao was not wearing a uniform today. He was wearing a light grey wool coat that matched Zhao Xiangwan's, with a pure white cashmere sweater underneath. His black eyes were like stars in the sky. He was silent, but he was like a beautiful landscape line.

After hearing what Zhao Xiangwan said, Ji Zhao nodded.

[Okay, I'll wait for you.]

There were no extra words, but his gentle eyes made Zhao Xiangwan feel at ease and peaceful.

After eating and drinking enough, I refreshed myself and started the fifth review of the day.

Cao Guang was still the chief judge, with Li Mingyang as the deputy judge, Zhao Xiangwan as the expert, and Xiao Zhou as the recorder.

Luo Yihui's performance is completely different from Zhao Chenyang's.

He was not panicked when he was taken into the interrogation room by the police.

Sitting upright in the iron chair, Luo Yihui glanced at the eight large warning characters on the wall and smiled as he read out loud: "Confess and be lenient, resist and be strict? The psychological suggestion is really good."

Cao Guang said sternly: "Be serious!"

Luo Yihui sat down, put away his smile, and fixed his eyes on Zhao Xiangwan. He raised his chin and asked, "Isn't she from the Xing City Public Security Bureau? Why is she here?"

Cao Guang was not used to him and ignored his questions and went straight to the interrogation stage.

"Name?"

"gender?"

"Age?"

"Nation?"

"Work unit?"

Luo Yihui answered calmly and accurately.

He was wearing a short brown leather jacket and had handsome features. Sitting in this cold interrogation room, he looked sunny and cheerful. It was hard to tell that he was a criminal who hired a killer.

Baseline test shows that Luo Yihui is mentally stable and deep.

Although he sat upright in the chair, leaning back and legs slightly apart, he looked at the person asking the question seriously, without any signs of wandering, and not looking around. It was as if the person asking the question was the teacher, and Luo Yihui was the upright and obedient student.

Although he didn't hear anything from Luo Yihui's thoughts, Zhao Xiangwan felt relieved when he saw Luo Yihui's posture, which was like the taut string of a bow and arrow, ready to be shot.

As long as he takes it seriously, that's all.

No one can keep his mind taut all the time.

There are so many policemen in the interrogation room. If they take turns to fight him, they can wear him out!

After clarifying the "耗" character formula, Zhao Xiangwan leaned back, placed one hand lightly on the table, and placed the other hand on his knee, quietly looking at Luo Yihui who was answering the questions seriously in front of him.

Before entering the interrogation room, Zhao Xiangwan told Cao Guang that she would interrupt or take over the interrogation at the appropriate time, but she would have to adapt to circumstances to know when the right time was.

This means that before Zhao Xiangwan took the initiative to speak, Cao Guang was still the chief interrogator in the interrogation room.

Now that Zhao Xiangwan didn't say anything, Cao Guang began to delve into the issue at his own pace.

"Where were you at 8:00 p.m. on February 12, 1991?"

"I'm in the president's office of the Golden Brilliant Nightclub in Zhu City, talking to the manager."

"Any witnesses?"

"Yes, Manager Yang."

"On February 11, 1991, did you call the Blue Phone?"

Cao Guang asked a good question, which mainly catches people off guard.

Luo Yihui remained calm and shook his head: "No."

Zhao Xiangwan carefully observed his expression.

Perhaps because he had heard that Zhao Xiangwan was very good at micro-expression behavior, Luo Yihui had been controlling his facial expressions. For example, his eyes did not move around, his gaze was fixed on the lower right corner of the table, and when he smiled, the corners of his mouth naturally curled up. The first movement seemed to be carefully designed.

But... micro-expressions are the truest reactions of human beings and cannot be controlled at all.

You can control your eyes from wandering and your mouth from twitching, but can you control your heartbeat and breathing?

You can try hard to keep your facial muscles from moving, and stop yourself from crying or laughing, but can you stop your pupils from dilating and your eyelids from twitching?

The more Luo Yihui tries, the more likely he is to be exposed.

Judging from Luo Yihui's current reaction, he did not lie.

The call from Zhu City to Wei Lan on February 11 was not made by Luo Yihui.

This is strange.

If it wasn't Luo Yihui, who else in Zhu City could be connected with Wei Lan?

The main feature of Cao Guang's interrogation was his wild imagination.

"Luo Yihui, on the morning of the 11th, you called Wei Lan and spoke to her under the name of Zhao Chenyang. You changed the meeting originally scheduled for the 13th to the evening of the 12th. Someone from the Writers Association can prove this."

Luo Yihui raised his eyebrows unconsciously: "I would like to hear the details."

Cao Guang said: "You called at 9 am on the 11th. At that time, Weilan was hanging out with her lover. When the phone rang, Weilan picked up the phone, and her lover heard it clearly. You asked her to meet at 8 pm on the 12th and asked her to wait in the room."

Cao Guang's eyes widened, but he didn't say anything.

[The nerd has never said that he heard a phone call, right? Oh, Captain Cao is really good at making up lies. ]

Zhao Xiangwan's eyes were sharp as he observed every micro-expression of Luo Yihui.

Unable to hear Luo Yihui's inner voice, Zhao Xiangwan could only rely on his experience and micro-expression theory.

From Luo Yihui's baseline test, there was nothing special about his expression.

Very careful, very standard.

But Zhao Xiangwan knew that this cautious and standard expression was the result of Luo Yihui's years of self-training.

From the analysis of Luo Yihui's growth environment, his parents divorced when he was six years old, and he came to live in the unfamiliar Ji Mansion, which was actually extremely painful for a child. He was forced to separate from his parents. Although his aunt and uncle gave him parental love, because of Ji Zhao's comparison, Luo Yihui knew that this was not his real home.

不敢調皮、不敢生氣、不敢嫉妒、不敢憤怒，怕惹惱了姑姑、姑父會被趕走，從此再沒有人收留他。因此洛一輝把內心真實情感封閉，努力讨好身邊每一個人，長期積累的這種自我約束，一般人很難看到他真實的內心。

聽完曹光的話，洛一輝轉過視線，看着桌角：“你搞錯了，那不是我。”

但他的鼻翼開始微微張開，洩露出一絲內心的不滿。

非常好，趙向晚找到了洛一輝微表情中的一個特征點。

——當他內心有了起伏變化時，為了控制眼神不亂跑，他會将視線轉往右下方，盯住某一個固定的位置。

曹光還在問：“那打電話的那個人是誰？”

洛一輝面無表情：“這不是我的事，應該你們警察去查。”

曹光将身體向後一靠，緊緊盯着洛一輝，像一只打盹的老虎，尋找着獵物的弱點。

可是，洛一輝沒有任何動作，目光也凝在桌角位置，仿佛那裏開出一朵花。

曹光看趙向晚沒有說話，便進入第二個測試環境。從桌上拿起季昭畫的畫像，展示給洛一輝：“認得這個人嗎？”

洛一輝這才轉過頭，緩緩擡起。

一眼看到畫像，洛一輝瞳孔一縮。

【啊……】

【這是，季昭畫的！】

洛一輝整個人都被這張畫像奪了心神，心神突然激蕩起來。

季昭的存在，對于洛一輝就是一種刺激。

哪怕季昭不出場，哪怕只是一張畫像，都足以讓洛一輝那謹慎、标準的表情有了變化。

【這個傻子，竟然活成了個人樣。】

【該死！】

【原本……】

洛一輝那陰暗的內心，忽然就這樣撕開了一個小角。

曹光提高音量：“洛一輝，請正面回答我，認不認得這個人？”

洛一輝挑了挑眉：“只是一個影子，沒鼻子沒眼睛的，哪能認得出來。不，我不認得這個人。”

曹光冷聲道：“你确認？”

洛一輝挺直了腰：“我确認。”

曹光道：“你要為自己的供述負責任。我們的同事，拿着這張畫像，正趕往珠市各大醫院，如果找到……”

洛一輝的瞳孔開始有了變化。

陡然一縮之後，突然擴散。

瞳孔縮小，這代表厭惡。

——洛一輝極其厭惡季昭。

瞳孔擴大，這是一種應激反應。

——人類在遇到危險的時候，會下意識地擴大瞳孔，讓更多光線進入到眼睛裏，以便于收集到更多信息，應對危險。

這代表，洛一輝認得這個人！

趙向晚站了起來。

曹光立刻閉上嘴，将審訊的主導權交給趙向晚。

洛一輝只看了一眼畫像，目光便迅速轉至右下方，努力控制自己的情緒。

趙向晚走到洛一輝沉思時目光所及位置，擋住了他一直盯着的桌角。

洛一輝被迫擡起頭，與趙向晚對視。

這種仰望，讓洛一輝有一種壓迫感，心裏很不是滋味。

趙向晚琥珀色的眼眸在燈光下泛着琉璃般的光彩，将洛一輝的注意力完全吸引：“殺手是你的人吧？”

洛一輝：“我說過，我不認得他！”

趙向晚再問：“你不認得誰？”

洛一輝：“不認得殺手。”

趙向晚：“殺手是誰？”

趙向晚的語速極快，洛一輝上一句回答剛剛結束，她的問話便已經跟了上來，這種快速的節奏讓洛一輝有一種喘不上氣的感覺，擡手指向畫像：“他啊……”

話一說完，洛一輝迅速閉嘴，視線下移。

趙向晚微微一笑，眼眸裏的光芒愈盛。

“我們有說過，畫像上的人是殺手嗎？”

聲音雖輕，卻似一塊石頭丢進深潭。

漣漪層層蕩開。

洛一輝腦子一個激靈，後背陡然有寒意湧上來，額頭有冷汗涔涔而下。

【沒有說過嗎？】

【警察沒有說過嗎？】

曹光一把抓過小周警官的筆錄本，一目十行，眼睛一亮：“對！我從頭到晚只問過他，認不認得畫像上的人，我可沒有說過這個人是殺手。”

李明楊、小周警官看趙向晚的目光裏帶着崇拜。

對啊，剛才曹光從頭到晚只問洛一輝，認不認得畫像上的人。洛一輝否認之後，曹光說同事們正趕往珠市各大醫院，如果找到……然後就沒有再說話了。

為什麽洛一輝一看到畫像，就認定這個人是殺手？

趙向晚微微彎腰，接近與洛一輝的距離。

洛一輝腦子裏緊繃的那根弦陡然被拉得更直，看到趙向晚的眼睛拉近，下意識地往後一縮。他的後背緊貼椅子，嚴絲合縫，退無可退，只能脖子盡力後仰。

趙向晚的微笑宛如一朵奪命罂粟。

令洛一輝腦中警鈴大作。

他努力辯解：“這是我推理的結果。你們把我叫來，不就是要調查蔚藍被殺案嗎？突然拿出一張畫像出來讓我辯論，那這個人一定是兇手嘛，有什麽問題嗎？”

趙向晚斂了笑容，眼睛裏帶着一絲寒意：“兇手，與殺手，雖只一字之差，卻相差甚遠，是不是？”

洛一輝咬牙：“你上來就問我殺手是不是我的人，我自然就被你帶着說的是殺手。”

趙向晚的聲音冷靜，語速卻逐漸加快。

“不，你在說謊！”

“畫像只是一個身影輪廓，我們只是讓你認人，這人可能是兇手，也可能是知情者，也可能是一起被害的人。”

“你早上八點從羅縣出發，連芙蓉酒店都沒有去？怎麽會知道蔚藍已死？”

“好，就算你從我這裏、從趙晨陽那裏得到蔚藍的死訊，但到底是怎樣的死法，意外還是自殺、他殺，你絕對不能确認，又怎麽可能在我問你殺手是誰時，下意識地指向畫像中的人？”

趙向晚突然停下，目光裏似有風雪呼嘯：“洛一輝，你的身體反應，比語言誠實了很多。”

在趙向晚的目光逼視之下，洛一輝呼吸停滞，胸口開始發悶，整個人仿佛浸在冰水裏，冷得刺骨。

他雖心機深沉，雖然心腸歹毒，雖然控制欲強烈，但卻是第一次與警方打交道，更是第一次接觸到趙向晚這樣級別的審訊，他那些心理學的招數、套路、原理，此時全都被抛到了九霄雲外，腦子裏只剩下一件事。

——不能說。

洛一輝努力控制着自己的情緒，開始深呼吸。

胸脯幾起幾落之後，洛一輝終于讓自己鎮靜下來：“不，這一切只是我的推測。你提到蔚藍已死，又強行把我和晨陽帶回警局，我覺得非常奇怪，問這些公安幹警他們也不說，整個市局的氛圍非常嚴肅，所以……蔚藍的死絕對不是意外，也不會是自殺，應該是他殺。”

說了這一段話之後，洛一輝的頭腦開始清晰：“你們如此興師動衆，對我的态度這麽惡劣，是不是懷疑我？簡直荒謬！我從來沒有見過蔚藍，只不過因為晨陽要來見蔚藍，所以我陪晨陽過來而已。我告訴你，趙向晚，這件事情和我半毛錢關系都沒有，你不要因為嫉妒我、排擠我，就故意把這件事情栽贓到我身上。”

最好的防守，就是進攻。

洛一輝顯然很懂得這一點，面對趙向晚的逼問，他反咬一口，把趙向晚的審訊污蔑成栽贓。

趙向晚卻根本沒有被他激怒，神情淡淡的：“嫉妒、排擠？呵呵。”

呵呵二字，帶着濃濃的鄙視、不屑。

這讓本就自尊心十分敏感的洛一輝內心的憤怒逐漸積累。

洛一輝開始展示他的攻擊力。

“警察辦案不是親屬回避嗎？你為什麽會在這裏！”

“別不懂裝懂，我和你不是親屬。”

“你處處針對我！”

“為什麽覺得我在針對你？”

“你想把我從季家排擠出去！”

“你是季家人嗎？”

論鬥嘴，洛一輝絕對不是趙向晚的對手。

洛一輝一句一句地進攻，重拳出擊，趙向晚卻綿裏藏針。

洛一輝沒有激怒趙向晚，反而被趙向晚激怒，開始人身攻擊：“我怎麽不是季家人？我與季昭情如兄弟，我姑姑視我如親子，如果不是因為你這個自私、強勢、霸道的女人，我會一直留在季家。”

趙向晚懶洋洋靠在桌邊，鳳眼微眯：“既然這麽喜歡算舊帳，那我們就來算一算。當年季昭一個人爬上廣告牌，是你一手設計的，對吧？季昭漸漸覺醒自我意識，你察覺到了不妙，所以假裝腹痛離開季昭，又故意把他安置在管家馮媽能夠看到的位置，利用馮媽心裏那一點微妙的不平衡，引她說出地主家傻兒子的故事，誘季昭爬上危險高處。事情暴露之後，你假意關心，故意用語言刺激，想要誘他情緒崩潰，掉落身亡。季昭一死，你将接手季家一切。一步一步，挺有心機啊。”

洛一輝被趙向晚戳穿陰謀，下意識地否認：“你不要血口噴人！你們警察辦事，可是要講證據的。”

趙向晚笑了：“和你，我需要講證據嗎？我的話，就是證據；季昭遠離你，就是證據；你的姑姑、姑父抛棄你，就是證據。”

Luo Yihui's heart was beating like a drum and his breathing was getting heavier.

Flames of hatred blazed from his eyes.

He was no longer willing to suppress his emotions and started to yell, "Shut up! Shut up! I've been in the Ji family for more than ten years. I tried my best to please my aunt and uncle, but they only have that idiot Ji Zhao in their eyes! What's so good about Ji Zhao? An autistic patient, a idiot who only knows how to paint!"

"Ji Zhao is their own flesh and blood." Zhao Xiangwan's words stabbed into Luo Yihui's chest like a knife.

This is the sentence Luo Yihui hates the most.

"Blood is shit! When my parents got divorced, neither of them wanted me. At that time, why didn't anyone tell them that I was their own flesh and blood and asked them not to abandon me?"

Zhao Xiangwan looked at Luo Yihui with a little sympathy: "I can only say that reincarnation is also a technical job."

Zhao Xiangwan's words made Luo Yihui's eyes burn with pain.

Growing up with Ji Zhao since childhood, Luo Yihui has too many imbalances in his heart.

Luo Yihui has been smart and eloquent since he was a child.

Ji Zhao is an autistic patient and never communicates with others.

Luo Yihui far surpasses Ji Zhao in terms of IQ, EQ, and interpersonal skills.

But so what?

Luo Yihui's parents divorced when he was six years old and each of them started their own family. No one wanted him. Ji Zhao, on the other hand, had the most gentle, patient and loving parents in the world.

No matter how hard Luo Yihui works or how good he is, what good can it be?

He could only become Ji Zhao's vassal.

The reason why his aunt and uncle raised and cultivated him was not because they loved him from the bottom of their hearts.

The value of Luo Yihui's existence is to wait until Ji Jinmao and Luo Danfeng are a hundred years old, and then serve as Ji Zhao's loyal servant, take care of Ji Zhao's daily chores, and become his housekeeper.

Of course, in order to repay and to win over Luo Yihui, the old fox Ji Jinmao would promise him some hotel shares and transfer some management rights.

But... why? On what basis?

Is he not worthy of being an independent individual?

Should he give up himself and serve Ji Zhao, this fool, wholeheartedly in order to repay his kindness?

This feeling of unwillingness and imbalance is the biggest thorn in Luo Yihui's heart.

In countless midnight dreams, Luo Yihui was pierced with bloody pain.

When he returned to China and became Ji Zhao's personal assistant, Luo Yihui began to plan how to get rid of Ji Zhao without leaving any trace.

It would be best to let Ji Zhao die naturally in front of Ji Jinmao.

He almost succeeded.

Unfortunately, it was almost there.

It is because of this shameless woman in front of me that I have failed.

Not only that, from that day on, Ji Jinmao began to guard against him. Not only did he drive him out of the Ji family villa and no longer let him serve as Ji Zhao's personal assistant, he also sent him to the Zhushi project as a small manager who was not worthy of the title.

Strangely enough, Luo Yihui originally hated the Ji family for treating him as a vassal of Ji Zhao, but when Ji Jinmao set him free and allowed him to become an independent individual and no longer revolve around Ji Zhao, Luo Yihui began to feel unbalanced again.

On what basis can you come when I call and go when I dismiss?

Why are you sending me away without even saying hello?

Am I a beggar?

All of Luo Yihui's disguises collapsed when the scars in his heart were revealed.

His chest rose and fell violently, his nostrils flared, and his eyes were vicious as he stared at Zhao Xiangwan: "Zhao Xiangwan, don't think that you can control everything by marrying into the Ji family! Autism is a genetic disease and will continue to be passed down. Do you think you have picked up a treasure? I tell you! When you give birth to a child who can't cry, laugh, or communicate with the outside world, you will be heartbroken to death."

I have to say that Luo Yihui's counterattack this time was very accurate.

If you expose my scars, I will poke you where it hurts.

Aren't you, Zhao Xiangwan, invincible? Then I curse you to give birth to a fool son!

The flash of swords and the shadow of swords.

What Luo Yihui and Zhao Xiangwan talked about seemed to be a family matter, but also seemed to be related to the case.

It was clearly a personal attack, but it also seemed like a battle between masters.

Officers Cao Guang, Li Mingyang, and Xiao Zhou dared not even breathe.

There was silence in the interrogation room...
