Finding a flaw
In the dim and dark studio, there was only one light on.
Su Heng walked out from the side of the stage in a moon-white robe, with his long hair draped over his shoulders and a cloud crown on his head. Before everyone could see his appearance clearly, they were already attracted and impressed by the noble temperament in his dress and every gesture.
Then when he slowly walked under the light, the overhead light was enough to expose all the flaws on his face, such as eye sockets, tear troughs, acne marks, lip spurts, nasolabial folds, facial ruggedness, etc., there was not the slightest trace on his face!
Even her facial features are so exquisite that there is an indescribable beauty of a god descending to earth, bathed in holy light!
The photography students sitting in the audience didn't have a camera in their hands, but they still couldn't help but make a photo gesture and press the shutter button.
This beautiful feeling of relaxation, perfect light and shadow contours, and invincible modeling look!
The absolutely beautiful pictures taken under rare lighting conditions are classics worthy of being recorded in the history of photography, and they are sure to win awards if sent out.
It’s a pity that it’s the end of the world. Art becomes worthless in the face of food and clothing, and his professional SLR camera can’t even be exchanged for a packet of instant noodles.
"Is the work not done yet?" Su Heng asked her with his eyes lowered.
Jiang Miao: “…”
Isn't it obvious?
The people in the audience stared at the Immortal Lord's face in a daze. Ning Li was distracted for a moment and then narrowed her eyes: "Do you have any accomplices?"
He frowned at the nickname of "accomplice" which was very detrimental to his status as an immortal king. "What happened?"
Leng Yuqing's soft voice sounded from behind, unconsciously adding a little sweetness: "Your friend killed an innocent classmate in our school and is trying to escape from the crime."
I don't know why he dresses so weirdly and in such an immature way, but he's so handsome.
Being blamed again and again, Jiang Miao frowned and said, "I said, I don't know this person, and I didn't kill anyone."
Ning Li raised her gun and aimed: "The facts are here, no matter how much you try to argue, it's useless!"
The tense situation returned to normal after being interrupted by Su Heng. Jiang Miao took two steps back and leaned against the edge of the stage, trying to block everyone's sight so that he could take out the weapon from the space.
In this moment of lightning and fire -
"Hey, do you have this thing too?" Su Heng stretched out his slender and powerful fingers and gently lifted them up, and the gun in Ning Li's hand appeared in his hand.
In an instant, the whole place was dead silent. Jiang Miao gasped, his brain froze and he was on the verge of collapse, his whole body was in disarray.
Big brother, uncle, ancestor! Old immortal!
It's fine if he made a high-profile appearance in the spotlight, but why did he have to use magic? !
Jiang Miao's pupils dilated unconsciously, and for the first time he wanted to hold his head and cry.
Do you really have to reveal that you are a fairy from another world? Do you know that you will be caught and studied? !
Ok, even if you want to be a suicide truck, can you please not act familiar with me in front of others!! I don’t want to attract the attention of relevant departments!
Ning Likong raised her hands and pinched them twice in mid-air. The sudden feeling of emptiness made her drop her hands unconsciously. She murmured uncertainly, "Magic?"
eng——?
Jiang Miao felt like he was alive again, and immediately threatened with a cold face: "Advanced magic, the kind that can kill people from a distance."
"Heh." Ning Li's mouth twisted: "Your trick is just a trick. Do you think I can't catch you without a gun?"
The fierce fist came straight at her face. Jiang Miao's mood fluctuated greatly. She didn't react for a moment and took the punch. Then she clenched her fist and fought her to the death!
"I said! I didn't kill anyone!" Filled with anger at being wrongly accused and the excitement of having escaped danger just now, Jiang Miao did not hold back and threw every punch with all his strength!
But due to the gap in skills, no matter how strong he was, he was beaten back with just a little effort. Jiang Miao became more and more frustrated and retreated repeatedly. The opponent's calloused fist was clenched and creaking, and it seemed that it was about to hit his solar plexus!
Su Heng's voice, as gentle as the breeze, rang out on the stage: "Seven Styles of Ling Jue."
With the tacit understanding formed from the sword-fighting training over the past few days, Jiang Miao subconsciously loosened her right fist and dodged the punch at an extremely tricky angle. The wind from the punch passed sharply over her eyelashes and almost hit her.
"Practicing swordplay requires one to move it as if it were one's arm. If there is no sword in hand, the opposite can also be done."
The clear voice on the stage gave Jiang Miao countless inspirations. He could use his arms as swords and his palms as blades, or he could use sword skills to beat the opponent without any chance of fighting back!
I'm not good at boxing, and you're far worse than me at swordsmanship!
The situation suddenly reversed, and Ning Li became the one who was forced to retreat step by step. She was shocked how someone could make such great progress in fighting.
She was not bragging, she knew all the boxing and palm techniques in the world, both ancient and modern. So where did this strange and unexpected palm technique come from before her?
Ning Li was distracted by something in her mind, and hesitated in her moves, losing step by step, showing her weakness! However, Jiang Miao became more and more courageous, and his arms flew up!
This Ling Jue sword technique can be used for both offense and defense, but it is too difficult for the shoulders and shoulder blades. Swinging in circles to attack is too much force and puts too much strain on the shoulder joints.
Jiang Miao climbs tall buildings every day, which has developed his leg strength to be particularly outstanding and he also loves to kick people.
Ning Li fell to the ground with a spinning kick, and the surroundings were even quieter than before.
The myth of D University's military strength has collapsed.
The wig was soaked with sweat, Jiang Miao was sweating profusely and breathing heavily, she could feel that her strength had reached a new level.
"Puff, cough, cough." Ning Li coughed up blood. She knew that the people present could not stop them. Moreover, she didn't know what had happened to her gun, and it actually fell into their hands like that.
Subconsciously, as a pure-blooded materialist martial artist, Ning Li still believes that this is a tampered magic trick.
Just like the color appearing on white paper and the burning sensation in an oil pan, although these things seem to be made up by gods and ghosts, they have scientific basis behind them.
In order to prevent other students from getting hurt, Ning Li had to wave her hand, and the crowd spontaneously made way for them. She actually took the initiative to let the two leave!
Jiang Miao glanced coldly at the road leading out of the studio, turned around and walked to the stage: "Fighting this battle with Captain Ning is not for me to escape, but to give me a chance to prove my innocence."
Of course, in addition to this, she also wanted to downplay the cognitive impact that Su Heng's "magic" brought to these people. As long as the amount of information tonight was too large, then an insignificant episode would not be remembered too deeply by too many people.
"Chairman Leng, I want to hear more about your investigation process." Jiang Miao turned sideways and emphasized with his hands behind his back: "Complete, no omissions."
Leng Yuqing didn't expect that Xiahua could defeat Team Ning, and after defeating them, they let her go, but she refused to leave.
From this perspective, the suspicion is indeed reduced a lot.
No matter what others said, Zefeng was still angry at this liar. He said to the audience, "Mifen, let Zhang Fu's roommate next door and Xiaofang from the logistics department come up and tell her in person."
Mi Noodles looked at the boss, then at the shrimp paste, and went to look for someone.
Because of the use of spiritual power just now, Su Heng was attacked by the rules of the world. His head was in great pain, but he didn't show it on his face. He slowly moved over and said, "I want the soft bed I lay on the day before yesterday."
Isn’t that a bit too willful?
Seeing that he had taken Ning Li's gun and instructed her during the fight, Jiang Miao endured it: "It's inconvenient with so many people here now. I'll get it for you after we leave the school, okay?"
"Hmm." Su Heng approached her, and felt that the piercing pain in his soul was relieved a lot: "Give me the bed, and I will teach you another set of boxing."
You really know how to handle this!
Jiang Miao quickly looked around and found curtains hanging on both sides of the side stage of the studio.
"Come with me."
Walking to the side of the stage, Jiang Miao pulled up the curtain to the back and placed it under the speaker to leave an enclosed space. With his back to the thousands of people in the audience, he gently put down a large latex bed for the immortal who could not endure hardship or fatigue and had to lie down as soon as he left the bed for a minute.
"Hmm."
Su Heng lay down comfortably and sighed in extreme comfort: "Go and get busy."
Seeing him drowsy and about to fall asleep at any moment, Jiang Miao reminded him worriedly: "If anyone comes, remember to fold up the bed and don't let anyone find it."
"Hmm." The person on the bed raised her beautiful neck and seemed to stretch slightly. I don't know if he heard it or not.
Coming out from behind the curtain again, Leng Yuqing couldn't help but ask, "Where is that young master?"
Jiang Miao said coldly: "I told him that there were thousands of people in the studio, and his chuunibyou automatically recovered and he hid behind the scenes out of shyness."
Secondary school syndrome...
Leng Yuqing smacked his lips. Indeed, to be able to cosplay in the apocalypse, one must be in the advanced stage of cancer to do such a thing.
Even though he looks like a middle school student with a mental disorder and a mental disorder, he is still so handsome!
I love stupid handsome guy even more.
"Hey, what's his relationship with you?" Leng Yuqing rubbed his hands, eager to try.
Jiang Miao thought for a moment: "Party A, the relationship with Party B."
She provides accommodation and he provides teaching, and they have a mutually beneficial relationship that is truly a cooperative one.
"Do you have a girlfriend..."
"Leng Yuqing." Ning Li had already come up from the stage: "Now is not the time to talk about this."
Ning Li was accompanied by Xiaofang, who had glasses and worked in the logistics department, and Lan Miao, a classmate of Zhang Fu who lived in the next dormitory to her.
Ning Li's face was not good. If it wasn't this pink-haired girl, could it really be that her classmates from D University were killing each other? They dared to break the ban again. She wanted to see who was so bold!
Xiaofang, who wears glasses, said: "When I finished my work at 8 o'clock, I wanted to take the documents to 601 to give to her, but I knocked on the door for a long time but no one opened it. I thought she went to the bathroom to get water, so I stuck the documents in the crack of the door so that she could see it as soon as she came back."
"But until 5:40 in the afternoon, when Captain Ning came to check for suspicious persons, the ID was still stuck in the door, and no one was in the room, which means she didn't come back all day."
Jiang Miao: "I don't deny this. What I want to know is whether Zhang Fu or other people in the dormitory had any abnormalities during the time when she died."
"Nothing unusual. I was the second to last person to see her. When I delivered your documents and went downstairs, she said she was going to the laundry room to see if there was any vacancy." Xiaofang thought for a while: "You are the most obvious one."
People often subconsciously strengthen what they consider to be key information under external stimulation, but in fact many details are hidden in inconspicuous little places.
Jiang Miao reminded: "For example, if someone looks flustered and abnormal, or suddenly comes to chat with you, it will deepen your memory and create an alibi for yourself."
Seeing Xiaofang struggling to recall, Jiang Miao said, "You think about it first. I want to hear what this side has to say."
Lan Miao looked at Captain Ning, and when she nodded, he said, "I was so tired after completing a mission yesterday that I fell asleep at around five in the morning and didn't sleep until around eleven in the afternoon when I was woken up by the crying next door."
"Crying? Whose? The dead?"
"Yes, it was Zhang Fu crying. I was also the last person to see her."
"Do you know why she is crying?"
Lan Miao sighed lightly: "Although I didn't hear her crying hysterically, I guess it must be because of her boyfriend."
"Um?"
"My boyfriend died on a mission yesterday. It was tragic."
Hearing this, Jiang Miao suddenly realized something and was somewhat amused: "Captain Ning, I want you to call two people up."
She was already ninety percent sure who the murderer was.
Ning Li: "Who?"
Jiang Miao looked down at the audience, keeping a careful eye on the audience and recounting the story based on what he had heard this morning: "The man's name is Xiao Ming, and the woman is in a relationship with him, her name is Xixi."
"Are Xiao Ming and Wan Xi here?" Although Ning Li was injured, it did not affect her prestige in D University.
In the audience, Xiao Ming and Wan Xi were shocked. They were just watching the show, but suddenly they became the protagonists.
"Xiao Ming, stop showing off your affection. Captain Ning is calling you!" The people around him urged quietly. Wan Xi looked at him nervously. Xiao Ming patted the back of her hand to calm her down: "Don't be afraid. I'm here."
The two of them held hands and walked step by step from the crowd to the center of the stage, standing under the new spotlight with Jiang Miao.
The person opposite was wearing a baseball cap, so the upper half of her face could not be seen clearly, but Wan Xi always felt that the look she gave him was cold and chilling.
Jiang Miao paid close attention to the two people's steps and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Why is Wanxi walking a little strange? Did he sprain his ankle?
On the stage, three people stood on both sides. The spotlight was fair, and any slight mistake made by anyone would not escape the eyes of thousands of people present.
Looking at the two people opposite him with vigilant eyes, Jiang Miao sneered and slowly recalled: "This matter started at six o'clock this morning."
"This morning at about 6:10, I happened to eavesdrop on a conversation at the wall of D University.
From the conversation, we learned that the two were childhood sweethearts. When they were out on an operation, they accidentally killed a classmate's boyfriend and were seen by him. The classmate also threatened to report it to Team Ning the next day, so the two were discussing how to bribe the classmate.
After explaining the facts, Jiang Miao concluded: "It seems that this Zhang Fu is the resentful girlfriend. She ran into such a pair of childhood sweethearts who were so cruel that they wanted to kill both of them."
After the words fell, Wan Xi bit her lower lip tightly. Leng Yuqing was not sure whether she was angry or scared, but it was obvious that the boy was much calmer.
Wan Xi wanted to retort, but was stopped by Xiao Ming: "Captain Ning, I have a few words to say."
This was just a self-defense session. Ning Li said indifferently, "No one stopped me."
Take a deep breath and collect your thoughts.
Xiao Ming raised his right hand and raised his first index finger: "First, you said you heard Xixi and I talking outside the wall, so why didn't you say it at the beginning? Why wait until now?"
"Secondly, as you said, we were only there to 'bribe' and we were not planning any murder plan. Why do you conclude that I am the murderer?"
"Third, and most importantly, I have witnesses to prove that I didn't have time to commit the crime during the day. It's impossible for me to kill Zhang Fu and fight with her!"
"In summary, your speculation is just speculation and cannot be used as evidence at all."
There were whispers from the audience, and Ning Li slammed the table impatiently: "Be quiet, or get out!"
Suddenly, the studio was silent, and everyone stared at the stage intently.
Jiang Miao has always known that Captain Xiao is the good guy and Sister Xixi is the bad guy in the team, but in fact, it is often the one who plays the good guy who has the most meticulous thinking and the deepest scheming in the play.
"Okay." Jiang Miao became interested and settled all the old and new grudges at once: "Then let's have a good debate today. I will answer all your questions one by one."
"First, from your conversation, I didn't know that classmate's name was Zhang Fu, and she didn't match the name of the deceased, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed here for so long."
"Second, from your conversation, I know that it is not easy to bribe the murderer's boyfriend, but it is not impossible that he will kill him if he fails to bribe him. If there are spectators who are willing to go, they can check to see if there is Wanxi's Hermès bag at the crime scene - but judging from their calm faces, this thing should have been taken away."
"Third, I want to hear what your witnesses say first."
Wan Xi protested: "Captain Ning, it was clearly her who killed someone and escaped, how can you put the blame on us with just a few words and force us to prove ourselves! This doesn't make sense!"
Jiang Miao looked at him coldly: "As you said, if I really killed someone, would I still stay in D University and wait for you to catch me?"
The dead body was found at 5:21 and she was caught at 6:10. This was enough time for her to run to the suburbs of City D. How could she be trapped here?
She looked lewd: "Who knows whether you don't want to run or can't run?"
"Do you think I can't run away?" Jiang Miao glanced at her sharply, as if telling her that as long as she said 'yes', then we can practice.
The situation was tense for a moment. Xiao Ming quietly squeezed Wan Xi's hand. Wan Xi immediately said, "Captain Ning, we are really wronged! She made up stories to frame us."
Jiang Miao sneered: "I also heard with my own ears that you killed Zhang Fu's boyfriend and wanted to bribe her."
"How can your one-sided statement be used as evidence?"
"Then let's find out how Zhang Fu's boyfriend died last night!"
Both sides insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in. There was silence in the field. Leng Yuqing's gentle voice rang out: "Let's call up the witnesses who can prove Xiao Ming and Wan Xi's alibi first."
The studio is large, but there are also many people. The carbon dioxide concentration in the air is too high, and there is already a sour smell of sweat.
Xiao Ming looked calm, and he seemed particularly confident about this matter. He quickly called up his witnesses, namely Li Ping and He Junwen.
Ning Li glanced at the time: "Make sure everything is explained clearly before ten o'clock." Their field department also had the task of going out to look for supplies at night.
He Junwen said: "Captain Ning, Lao Xiao is indeed innocent! Around half past ten yesterday morning, Xiao Ming and Wan Xi had a quarrel..."
-10:36 this morning-
"Hey, Lao Xiao, why are you in our dormitory?" Li Ping was bandaging his wound, and Xiao Ming threw him a bottle of painkillers: "You had a fight, so you came to have a drink and chat with us guys."
He Junwen came over and said, "Wow, what did you bring? Wow, Lao Xiao, you even took out your wife's money!"
"What a crap wife! I'm going to spend all my money on her today!" Xiao Ming angrily opened a can of beer and took a big gulp.
Li Ping and He Junwen looked at each other in bewilderment. Their brother was really hurt by love, so they couldn't tease him anymore: "Why, you and Wan Xi could even quarrel? You two are a model couple, childhood sweethearts."
"Bullshit childhood sweetheart." He took another sip. "From childhood to adulthood, a woman has been taking care of you. Who is that? That's your mother!"
"Okay." Li Ping was envious of the beer and brought a can over: "Let's drink with your brother today. If you feel bad about these bottles of beer later, you can't ask your brother to compensate you!"
The three grown men sat in the hot dormitory drinking and chatting with peanuts, broad beans and dried tofu until 11:30. When they were in high spirits, Xiao Ming stood up and drunkenly pressed He Junwen's shoulder and said, "I'll tell you a secret. I have a PS5 hidden there. I haven't finished the single-player story of Dawn Call yet. I'll give it to you guys to try."
Burps really stink.
Li Ping and He Junwen didn't drink as much as he did, so their minds were still clear.
“PS5!”
"Shh." Xiao Ming made a gesture to silence him: "Keep your voice down. Do you want to attract everyone?"
Li Ping pushed him and said, "Damn, your brother is a rich man with many talents. Why don't you share this good stuff with us sooner?"
"Wait!" Xiao Ming waved his hand and said generously, "Brother, I'll get it right away!"
After saying that, he staggered out of the door. He Junwen was a little worried: "Is he okay? I think he drank a lot."
"Hey, this is just the beginning. Xiao Ming's alcohol tolerance is the best in our dormitory." Li Ping threw a peanut into his mouth and chewed it, then raised his hand and gave a thumbs up: "White wine is no problem, let alone a few cans of beer."
"Ah, I didn't see that."
"As for this wine, if you don't drink it for a long time, your alcohol tolerance will decrease." He picked up a piece of dried tofu and chewed it, like a middle-aged drunkard bragging at the table: "Besides, he was in a bad mood today and was upset. It's normal for him to get drunk easily after a few sips of wine. It's okay."
He Junwen nodded: "That's true. He drank those first few cans of beer so quickly that it scared me!"
"Hey, that's what happens when you're heartbroken. But you can't go down the stairs if you only drink a few sips, so don't worry."
Now that things have come to this, He Junwen is more interested in the game console than worrying about Xiao Ming.
He was looking forward to Xiao Ming's return, but the next moment Xiao Ming ran up to him in a panic: "Xixi...Xixi is lying on the bed without any movement. Could something have happened?"
During high temperature disasters, being extremely hot in the dormitory is no longer just a simple complaint about the hot weather, but a real fact.
The two of them immediately stood up and followed him down to the second floor. Their little nest was decorated very cozy. Xiao Ming anxiously shook the shoulders of the person on the bed: "Xixi! Xixi? Don't scare me, Xixi!"
He Junwen was sharp-eyed. He saw the sleeping pills on the table and quickly picked them up: "She must have taken the sleeping pills and fell asleep."
Xiao Ming turned around and looked over. He was relieved when he saw the bottle. "She has been suffering from insomnia since the apocalypse. I didn't expect that I would make her anxious and worried again today."
Although this young couple quarreled, they were very clear about when to feel sorry for each other and when to reconcile.
Li Ping patted his brother on the shoulder: "As long as he's okay, that's fine."
"Alas." Xiao Ming sighed guiltily and picked up the game console and display screen on the table: "Let's go to your dormitory to play. Don't disturb her and let her have a good sleep. I will apologize to her tomorrow."
Li Ping had guessed this would happen. The two had always had a good relationship and rarely quarreled. Even if there were problems, they were only minor frictions.
"Let's go, let's go." He Junwen had been coveting the PS5 for a long time. He opened the door and went out first. Xiao Ming and He Junwen followed closely behind him. They returned to their dormitory and kept playing games. If calculated based on the time before Doomsday, they had stayed up all night.
Everyone in the studio was listening quietly. He Junwen looked at Captain Ning and said, "I am telling the truth, and Li Ping is my witness."
Li Ping nodded affirmatively and couldn't help yawning: "We didn't sleep all day today. When the news of Zhang Fu's death came at around 5 pm, Xiao Ming was still playing games in our dormitory, and he didn't leave once during the trip."
On the other side of the spotlight, Xiao Ming and Wan Xi breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then said confidently: "What else do you have to say? Are you saying that the way to clear your name is to blame someone else for this incident?"
Having more than two witnesses was already very convincing. Ning Li, who had originally believed Jiang Miao a little, now began to look unhappy.
She could tolerate the fact that she was defeated by the pink-haired guy, killed someone and got away with it, but she could not tolerate the other party framing her subordinates in a brazen and extremely insulting manner in D!
Ning Li's eyes were cold: "What else do you want to say? You can't possibly say that I found two actors to collude and cover up for my own people, right?"
Arguing, drinking, complaining?
If Jiang Miao had not fought side by side with these two people for two years in his previous life and was not very familiar with them, he would have been fooled by Xiao Ming's trick.
In the Blue Flame Team, everyone knows that Captain Xiao Ming is the tight-lipped person, and no one can possibly get any information about himself from him.
Lian Jiangmiao knew that he was from City D, but he only inferred it from his accent.
So, how could Xiao Ming go and complain to others and drink to drown his sorrows when he had a fight with his girlfriend, exposing his vulnerable side to others?
However, judging from the expressions and tones of the two witnesses, it was obvious that they were not lying. Then how did Xiao Ming manage to kill someone from across the floor?
