Episode 19 Congratulations to the host for having a new life
Suppressing my unnecessary emotions, I patiently read the comic plot, trying not to miss any details in the plot.
The comic actually recaps what happened last night. However, it uses the perspective of the protagonist "Fu Lin".
In fact, on the day I fell off the platform, Shang Hexing quickly retrieved the station’s surveillance footage and accurately found the unnatural figure walking in the opposite direction among the vast crowd—Lin Quan.
In the comics, Shang Hexing, who is dressed as Fu Lin, is staring at the screen intently, his fingers with distinct knuckles tapping quickly on the keyboard.
He stared at the surveillance footage intently, analyzed it quickly, and finally extracted key information from fifteen footages.
The surveillance video inside the station was gradually enlarged and became clearer.
When the accident happened, most of the people in the front row were shocked and frozen, their heads still unable to react to what was happening. Some people were frightened and stepped back, while others, not knowing the truth, moved forward to understand what was happening. The people behind who didn't know what was happening just continued to walk hurriedly, going back and forth at their own pace. As a result, there was still a constant stream of people heading away from the accident site.
However, among this crowd, there was one person who seemed particularly abnormal - as he walked upwards with his back to the accident scene, his steps were hurried and deliberate, as if someone was chasing him from behind. His movements were clearly intended to avoid the camera, and he didn't look back in the direction of the accident until he had completely left the station.
The man let out a long sigh, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. Rather than being smug after a prank, it was more like an unconcealable joy and malice. There was a chilling briskness in that smile, like a piercingly sickening gaze, revealing an indescribable danger.
This smile not only revealed his emotions, but also exposed his intentions.
A sharp light flashed in Shang Hexing's eyes.
He entered the suspicious person's characteristics into the dynamic tracking system. Fifteen minutes later, a complete tracking video was generated: Lin Quan's movements over the past three days were restored and collected into an MP4 file. In his life trajectory of going from one point to another, the route clearly shows an abnormal point.
That unusual timing coincided with a recent car accident involving the security system.
In the road surveillance video, when the vehicle driven by Lin Quan left the surveillance area, there was clearly a bottle of mineral water in the car placed in the groove between the driver and co-pilot seats. However, when the car left the area, the mineral water bottle disappeared.
"There are no sidewalks along the road, so there are naturally no trash cans to throw the bottles into." Shang Hexing analyzed calmly, "The disappearance of the bottles can't be a coincidence."
He clicked the pause button and froze the image at the last frame before the car entered the unsurveilled area.
The air froze because of the silence.
…
The time to solve the case started again after Shang Hexing walked out of his previous memories.
In fact, the evidence in his hands could not be shown to others at all. If the video at the train station was the result of him forcing the people at the station to cooperate by relying on his identity as the "Savior of Anubis", then what about the video from the road surveillance? What kind of reasons should be used to present these videos to the public openly?
Not to mention, these videos are only circumstantial evidence and do not directly and clearly link the suspect to the crime.
Is he going to expose his true colors for the sake of someone who has nothing to do with him? This is undoubtedly an extremely stupid behavior. Even though this person might have wanted to repeat the same trick and push himself into the middle of the lane.
At this time, Shang Hexing in the comic lowered his eyes slightly, and continued to focus his gaze on the black-haired young man who had just interrupted his speech because of his gaze, with a hint of scrutiny and inquiry in the depths of his eyes.
The black-haired young man raised his head and faced the other two people. The light and shadow just happened to pass over his smoothly-shaped chin. The faint edges and corners made him look particularly elegant and cold, exuding a clean and upright aura. "Hyponatremia caused by water toxicity can be detected during an autopsy. Excessive fluid can cause swelling of the brain tissue, and a decrease in plasma osmotic pressure can also be seen."
Soon after Xiaozhuang finished speaking, he immediately regretted that he had spoken too hastily.
The answer "water poisoning" is obviously a brainless one.
She was thinking that after all, she was a top student in the forensic science major. Once she encountered practical experience, her knowledge level would plummet. If others knew about it, she would probably be laughed at. She was feeling embarrassed, but the black-haired young man in front of her seemed particularly patient.
He continued following Xiaozhuang's words, "But if it's mild water poisoning, this part is difficult to notice."
What is water intoxication? Is there anything naturally toxic in the water? 】
"What exactly is water poisoning?" He Qisi also asked.
The black-haired young man briefly explained: "Water intoxication is caused by too much water diluting the sodium in the blood, leading to coma or even death."
[This is the first time I heard about water poisoning. I learned something new. 】
Water intoxication is indeed rare. However, I have previously seen a Spanish team's report on clinical kidney research that said the cause of death of international superstar Bruce Lee, who died suddenly more than 51 years ago, was most likely hyponatremia. Because he had the habit of drinking large amounts of water for a long time, his kidneys were unable to excrete enough water to maintain fluid balance. 】
[So this is why electrolyte water is so popular in fitness? Because when the body's water is lost with sweat, electrolytes in the body will also be lost. At this time, just replenishing water cannot meet the body's needs. So some people either drink special sports drinks or add salt to water. 】
[However, emm... In addition to the fact that water poisoning is likely to be detected, will it happen to someone who has been pretending to be a pregnant woman for a long time? Wasn’t it said before that she had been pretending to be pregnant for a long time and taking a lot of strengthening tablets? Drinking a lot of water in a short period of time won’t cause water poisoning, right? 】
【upstairs! 】
Xiaozhuang quickly caught up with the rhythm, "Zhou Qiuying couldn't have been poisoned by water. The owner of the store said that Zhou Qiuying pretended to be pregnant for half a year. During this time, she had been paying attention to the diet of pregnant women. Since she supplemented with calcium, magnesium and zinc, she would not be lacking in sodium. Even if she drank a whole bottle of water (500 ml), she would not be poisoned by water."
"But he's a doctor."
When Xiaozhuang finished speaking, he met the gentle eyes of the black-haired young man, and his heart suddenly warmed up, and he also gained a little more courage from being affirmed. "When you lose too much blood, drinking water can easily accelerate death."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Qisi slapped his forehead suddenly, with an expression of sudden enlightenment and annoyance at the same time. He completely forgot this most basic common sense. "Am I really that stupid? I would make such a mistake even for a case of this level."
"You can't think like that." The black-haired young man interrupted He Qisi, who was suddenly distressed and gave up. "It was our forensic doctor who didn't find the problem with the body right away, and we didn't have the corresponding motive for the crime. This is a difficult task. Not to mention, now that we have this guess, how can we prove that he really gave her water to drink?"
The abdominal cavity of the corpse was also opened, and the amount of water inside could be explained by "water from dinner food" or "changes in body fluids during digestion." As for the fading lip color, this is also explained by "the body's surface loses its activity and the lipstick can no longer adhere to it" rather than "the lipstick is diluted because it is forced to drink water."
Xiao Zhuang was immediately troubled. "If Shang Hexing was here, could he have found the video footage?"
He Qisi continued: "Even if he was there, he couldn't find the video of this stretch of road. In the end, we just saw that the mineral water bottle was gone, or it was empty."
[This guy was right.] 】
“It’s not that there is no solution.”
Fu Lin said softly, and it seemed as if he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
[There is a loud noise in the sky, and the protagonist appears on the stage!] 】
[I said, how could the protagonist’s halo be suppressed? Shanghexing must be hiding something.]
For the time being, I am not too interested in Shanghexing’s highlight moments, especially since this highlight accounts for 30% of the plot.
I can briefly explain the process.
Because in this case, many aspects show that this man is not smart, has very poor psychological quality, and the process of killing his wife was more of a passion crime than a long-term deliberate plan. So as long as we cheat a bit, we can catch the murderer.
This kind of operation is already considered a routine operation in mystery comics.
No matter how wonderful a magic trick is, you will get tired of it if you watch it over and over again. I am not surprised at Shang Hexing's methods.
What disappointed me the most was that I thought Shang Hexing had guessed the murderer from the beginning. In order to get rid of me, he put all the conflicts on me, making the murderer think that I had caught him and wanted to kill me with all his might. He can use the hands of others and continue to be a good person without any worries.
Although it is scary, this way of playing is exciting!
As a result, when Lin Quanzhen was taken away by the police, I was disappointed for a moment, and I complained in my heart, "How boring, it ends like this."
I slid the progress bar and the images flashed by quickly until it stopped at the last scene of a certain page. Shang Hexing in the comics tilted his head slightly, his eyes piercing like cold arrows, revealing a gloomy vigilance.
What happened to you again?
I quickly slid my finger back to the previous scene.
I swiped my fingertips and the screen slowly went back to the previous scene. In contrast to the pride and ease that filled He Qisi and Xiaozhuang's eyes, the black-haired young man's expression suddenly turned cold and his eyes drooped slightly. A shadow of disappointment flashed across his pupils, faint but chilling. He opened his thin lips slightly, his voice low and calm, as if he never needed to raise his voice to control everything: "Is that all?"
It was as if he discovered that the music he had been looking forward to for a long time came to an abrupt end with the most boring rhythm.
Outside of the comics, I couldn't help but gasp. Because I used too much force, I couldn't help but choke and coughed for a long time before I calmed down.
What kind of filter is this?
I couldn't bear to read on, so I quickly pulled up the last bit of the plot, hoping that the comics would tell me what was going on with the jade pendant as soon as possible.
The last scene is Shang Hexing returning to his room to sleep.
Shang Hexing, who has always been a thoughtful person, has always had trouble falling asleep, but he seldom dreams, and when he does, it is always a nightmare.
The sound of rain outside the room also fell into his dream.
In the middle of the night when it was raining heavily, the road island was blurred by the dim lights. The young man walked hurriedly, and the jade pendant around his neck swayed in the light, shining with a lustrous luster. It was a rare style, and also strikingly familiar - Shang Hexing knew at a glance that the person in front of him was his enemy, his biggest concern.
He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became as dark as the night. Just then, his body took a step forward. Shang Hexing knew that he would soon do the same thing that Lin Quan had done before - sending someone into the speeding traffic.
Soon, the world in the comic turned upside down, the rain briefly rose up, and then the rain mixed with blood spread out.
The man lying on the ground looked unexpectedly vulnerable.
Life was slipping away from him at an irreversible rate. The bright red color of the pool of blood had indisputably revealed the outcome - complete death, with no possibility of resurrection.
However, Shang Hexing did not leave like Lin Quan did, but remained standing stiffly where he was, his eyes fixed on the lying body. His breathing was disordered and the rain slid down his cheeks, but it couldn't hide the complex emotions in his eyes.
It wasn't out of guilt or a guilty conscience, and it wasn't because he wasn't feeling uneasy because he hadn't heard anyone say that Li Zhi was dead.
But it was because of that young man, lying in a pool of blood, looking at him with a faint smile on his face.
——[End of Chapter 1]
【hiss----】
[Wow, this person is not simple! ! ! 】
[You can tell at first glance that he is not a good person, and he is so handsome. This character is really good for my eyes~]
[Looking good is the key, right? ←_←】
[When we first rode the bike, I thought this guy was going to be a cannon fodder who would die quickly, but when Lin Quan got scared of him, I felt something was wrong. However, when Shang Hexing suffocated the puppy to death and successfully hid it from that person, I thought that the murderer must be guilty, because it was obvious that this person had a simple mind. But who could have imagined that he would be disappointed with the successful conclusion of the case? The character keeps reversing, and he is still a villain after all! My scalp can't help but feel numb (so good)]
[Oh my god, I thought Shang Hexing was cruel enough, but it turns out that there is such a big devil hiding beside Fu Lin! There is a mountain higher than another mountain.
[Wait, where is Fu Lin? 】
The rest of the comments are too much for me to bear.
I feel like it’s a good thing that it’s over.
But I don't know why, I just can't be happy.
I turned over and my eyes unconsciously swept across the screen. After the comic ended, I saw an unread message in my card backpack.
How much worse could the situation get next?
Feeling a sense of self-destruction, I clicked on the card without hesitation - and it turned out to be a message from my Tangchaolizi.
The card now fully depicts a handsome young man with a slightly dazed look and a bit of death.
The infinity symbol at the bottom now reads "VITA 100h".
At the same time, a notification suddenly popped up on the screen.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the reading of the first volume of the case.] Please find your VITA ID card. The validity period of this ID card is 100 hours. Once it takes effect, it cannot be interrupted. 】
Um?
What's this?
Before I could react, a vague thought flashed through my mind. The next second, another notification popped up on the screen:
[Due to the system default settings, this card has taken effect by default. Congratulations to the host on having a new life. 】
etc!
