Chapter 17 I Can't Understand Anymore
Episode 17 I don't understand anymore
It is now 05:35 on Saturday morning.
In the past, when I saw this time, I would definitely sleep for another half an hour, then dawdle until about 6:30, pick up my phone and check it for a while, and then officially get up after 7 o'clock.
However, today is different.
The news about the comic update made me lose all sleepiness and my heartbeat quickened inexplicably.
This reminds me of the fear I felt every time I saw my test results.
Because if my ranking dropped, I, who was socially anxious, would be surrounded and comforted. Even teachers would come to ask me how I was doing and if I needed help. This situation will continue until the next test results come out. All of my quiet and beautiful alone time has been taken up.
Some people may say that as long as we communicate and understand each other's thoughts, we can avoid the situation I mentioned. Not to mention, the people around me are well-intentioned and are definitely willing to listen to my ideas.
But think about it, if communication is really useful, then what do we need the police for?
Everyone should just sit down and have a good chat, and be frank.
Let’s get back to the topic.
The reason I'm nervous is that I think the timing of this update is coming too fast.
I feel like things have just begun, and it would be a pipe dream to suddenly end the first case now. The comic may end with "XX incident to be continued".
But people always have a lucky mentality. What I was thinking in my heart was that this case was not difficult to explain. Wasn’t it possible to just end it last night? Of course.
I really want to get rid of the current situation as soon as possible, and go back to Shanghe Xingqiao and have nothing to do with each other from now on.
Even if he has friendly intentions towards me, the only reason I would be happy is that my chances of survival will be increased.
No matter what, it is impossible not to feel nervous as we face the answer to the current situation.
I opened the card drawing app and clicked on the comic notification——
Comic pages take longer to load than expected. There is a number bar at the top of the comic showing the page number. I felt like I was waiting in an elevator and couldn't help staring at the jumping numbers.
Finally, the number was decided on page 56.
On the cover is a full-length portrait of "Fu Lin" with an excellent head-to-shoulder proportion, like a carefully selected top model, with smooth and upright lines. But unlike the friendly and easygoing expression that everyone is familiar with, his eyes at this moment are sharp, facing the readers, like a hostile knife pointed at the person looking directly at him.
Although he has a decent appearance, a small change in his expression brings out a daunting, inhuman coldness and alienation. But comic readers are attracted to this unique edge and seem to like this kind of personality very much.
【First! 】
[The cover is so cool~]
【Come and mess with me】
[Are there any readers who have watched the ending and shared their first impressions?]
[The comic starts off with a big plot, just look at the amount of plot! 】
[Does it look good?] 】
[Run, this comic looks like everyone is a villain, it's so handsome that my legs are weak - I can't leave it anymore (excited.jpg)]
[I don’t know if the plot is good or not, but as long as the quality of the comics is not bad, I will continue reading. Anyway, there is nothing good to see now.]
【Second brush is coming】
[Looking back, I found that the cover is not the best scene of "Fu Lin"]
[Everyone is a villain, can they still pass the trial?]
[The "all villains" setting is very interesting]
The repetitive words in the barrage made me want to exit the page and re-examine whether their comic world is different from my current world.
Of course, this is just a temporary complaint.
You should know that barrages always like to use emotional sentences or exaggerated words to attract other people's attention, so there are some barrages or comment areas that are more exciting than the main text.
Suppressing my aroused thoughts, I lowered my gaze.
Animated comics play automatically.
It is a moonlit night in March.
The night in late March was not a waning moon, but a waxing gibbous moon close to a full moon, with a brightness of 98.85%.
In the comic shot, the moon's light almost fills the entire sky.
However, even though the moonlight was so bright, the breath of spring rain brought changes to this moonlit night. The clouds condensed because of the moist air, gradually becoming thick and deep, moving with the wind, sometimes covering the moonlight and sometimes revealing the bright moon. The flickering moonlight also made the usually smooth sidewalk look like a winding and rugged mountain road, sometimes deep and sometimes shallow.
In the distance, a bicycle was slowly approaching. There is a small orange light on the car. The faint light shone in the dark night. The owner's figure is that of a young man, slender and light. As he rode, the jade pendant around the young man's neck swayed gently with the movement of his body, emitting a faint glow, like a small star falling from the night.
As the bicycle got closer, an air of innocence, lightness and joy emanated from every movement.
Even without seeing his face, I still feel that this guy is so handsome
[Wait, look, this person is also wearing a jade pendant. Could he be the person who had the car accident in the trailer? Isn't this lunch box eaten too fast? 】
[No way?] But it seems like this person is easy to deceive? 】
I just stared at the picture, lost in some kind of thought.
…Was I so obviously happy that day because Fu Lin and Shang Hexing left?
Back to the comics.
The slender and powerful light of the car lights stretched out in the darkness, like an aorta that continued to extend and irregularly started from the ventricle, bringing endless energy to the surrounding darkness. At the same time, in another silent scene, the man holding the woman in the shadows instantly tensed up because of the sudden sound of wheels rolling over gravel.
His fingertips felt numb and his movements became flustered. The brisk sound approaching from afar sounded like a death warrant to him. His body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes quickly scanned the empty surroundings, and he subconsciously turned around so that no one could see his expression.
However, the comic book audiences saw it clearly.
Shrouded in darkness, his face was completely swallowed up, as if blending into the depths of the night, leaving only two eyes with gradually enlarging whites and increasingly thin pupils, just like an animal that has encountered a natural enemy and will gradually open its eyes wide in tense terror, until their eyeballs are almost squeezed out of their sockets.
There was endless fear in those eyes. But behind that fear lies a poisonous murderous intent, cold and undisguised.
【Forehead……】
【QAQ why are you suddenly scary】
[Does anyone really have this kind of expression in real life? 】
[When people are extremely frightened or have strong emotional reactions, their pupils will also dilate. If the comics don't exaggerate this reaction, then the camera angle must have changed. You see, it's an upward angle of view, the perspective is distorted, and the camera is focused on the eyes, so this kind of performance will occur. 】
"Do you need help?"
A clear voice sounded behind the man.
He didn't move, and the young man on the bicycle behind him was also silent for a while, "Shall I call an ambulance for you? Or... a police car?"
The former is undoubtedly a reminder of survival.
The latter is directly a criminal case.
"What is he implying?"
"Are you implying that I killed Zhou Qiuying?"
The man's thoughts came to mind.
【Isn’t it?】 】
Isn’t it? I thought that was it. 】
[Isn’t it?] 】
The black-haired young man's incisive and meaningful words made the man's heart tighten suddenly.
His eyes unconsciously glanced behind him. In the backlight, the young man was swallowed by the shadows, leaving only a pair of eyes like ghost fire, as if they could penetrate the darkness and see through every subtle change in his heart, including all his fears and secrets.
The man felt a chill down his spine for no apparent reason, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. He hugged the woman tightly in his arms, his heart beating rapidly, but he forced himself to calm down, clenched his teeth, and tried hard to hide his inner panic. Even at this moment, he knew clearly that there was only one thing he had to do.
He took a deep breath and said in a high and trembling voice: "Please call an ambulance for me!"
After a pause, the man began to buy himself more time. His voice was raised again, and he was almost shouting desperately: "My wife...she is not dead yet!!! Please help me!!!"
He turned around and stared at the young man with tearful eyes, "Help me..."
"Qiu Ying! Hold on!!"
These shouts tore through the silent night, echoing along the empty road, carrying with them despair and the struggle for survival. He seemed to be extremely shocked and finally realized that his wife could still be saved, so he called for help.
However, only the man himself knew that he was just performing for the young man behind him. He just wanted to use these words to prove that "he did not kill his wife."
You know, the woman in his arms was still breathing. The young man behind him was an eyewitness who made it impossible for him to have committed murder.
This is how his perfect crime came to be.
[Wow, that’s awesome!] Perfect crime, is there any big shot who can come and explain it in person? The victim was not dead, and there was a third party present who would not have seen him commit the crime, so how did he accomplish the murder? 】
[Poisoning!] ? 】
[The poisoning is too obvious... and looking at the comic scene, they were on the main road and the woman had injuries on her body. Maybe she had a car accident. However, if the death was caused by a car accident, would this not be detected? That person shouldn't have time to clean up the traces, right? 】
[I feel this case is so complicated, I really want to know the ending as soon as possible]
At this moment, a wind blew and brushed away the clouds that were once again covering the bright moon. The light clearly outlined the calm eyebrows and eyes of the black-haired young man. The narrator also gave the young man a box introduction, which read "Li Zhi, the head of the forensic department of Anubis Supreme Academy, 20 years old."
He frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "...It's so noisy."
【! 】
[Sorry, I laughed suddenly ww]
[I just realized now after watching it for the second time that Li Zhi knew the murderer's plan here. It's amazing. 】
[I have watched it three times, and I just want to say "It's worthy of him!" I was wondering if this appearance was actually his own design, it would be really wonderful! 】
A huge question mark appeared outside the screen, "Huh?"
I flipped through the comics progress.
The plot is only 5% complete now, but I already can’t understand the plot or myself.
