Chapter 66 I Don’t Want to Hate You
Episode 66 I don't want to hate you either
“…”
I am speechless.
What exactly should I be?
Almost a month ago, I was killed in a bomb as Tang Li, and now I appeared in front of two acquaintances with the same face, just like a clown making his debut in a way he could not have imagined. Now Cui Shi’s previous identity cannot be traced. Perhaps to Fu Lin and Jerry, I just changed my identity and reappeared in front of them.
Ah, after being speechless comes embarrassment.
Despite the embarrassment, I still had to calm down and think about how to gain their trust as quickly as possible.
Different hair color?
This is dyed, and human hair grows one centimeter per month on average. The blackening of the hair roots now coincides with the time when Tang Li disappeared.
The recovery time for the various holes drilled on Tang Li's body was just right, giving him nearly a month to recover. Especially since he is still young, the recovery effect is outstanding. I remember Xiaozhuang said that if she forgot to wear her earrings, her ear holes would start to heal in less than a week and she would have to prepare to get new ear holes.
Tattoo?
I quickly pulled up my trouser legs.
Finished, the tattoo is still there?
There is no way to defend this.
When I was holding my forehead in pain, He Qisi next to me had already parked illegally. He rushed to the front of the crowd, looked at me who was exhausted, and asked what was going on.
Really, if someone who doesn't know the body hosted by the system were to see it, they would probably think that he was the one killed by the murderer. Maybe when he was confronting the murderer, he almost had his life hanging by a thread and was almost dying. However, long after I accepted the setting of this world, even if I was too lazy to move, I still actively participated in various self-defense and fighting skills classes. At the same time, in order to force myself to apply what I have learned, I also work hard in the competition. When I was in high school, I won the Anubis high school individual championship. This ensures that when I encounter danger, I at least have some room to fight back.
At one point I was quite arrogant and wanted to fight with Fu Lin, but I was treated like cannon fodder and knocked to the ground.
When I was in college, because I looked honest and was very skinny, my professors were worried that I couldn't even lift a corpse. I didn’t quite understand at the time, and just said, “I still have some strength. If strength is not enough, I still have some cleverness.”
Looking at those pale lips and blue face now, I can’t help but feel that I am really thin.
Of course, these are all random thoughts that arise from inner anxiety. I don’t want to think about how to solve the current situation. I am just thinking about “myself” things that have nothing to do with the important things at the moment.
After thinking for a few moments, I began to play the ostrich and pretend that I didn't realize that I was in an extremely embarrassing situation.
However, others do not give this opportunity.
I mean the other police officers. Because Fu Lin and Jerry were still in the process of waiting and watching, and He Qisi was still studying my situation and was too lazy to care about me, there was only the police officer in charge next to him.
They are quite responsible.
When they quickly opened the car door for me, they were obviously drunk and tilted their heads back for a moment, but their professional ethics made them firmly and vigorously shout, "Captain Cui, you are finally here."
I refused to get out of the car, "…I don't want to get out of the car."
"Please don't be willful." The police officers carefully dragged me out of the passenger seat. "We still need you to sign some documents before we can proceed to the next step. Please sign the on-site evidence and the audio recordings. How could you drink so much?"
While I was still saying this, my two feet were still in the car, but half of my body had left the car.
I feel a little weird, because I'm supposed to be a loner and not someone you want to mess with.
Why are people so casual with me and always take me out with them? Am I the kind of willful big cat who doesn't want to move his body and follow others out? Or is it one of those soft-bodied creatures without a spine?
With all kinds of thoughts in mind, I was half-carried and half-supported out of the car door. As I started to get closer and closer to Fu Lin and Jerry who were staring at me, I began to accept the fact, "The case is solved?"
"Yes, with the help of Mr. Fu Lin, we solved the case in two days. The report will be written by trainee officer He, and you just need to sign at the back."
I was confused. They had already allowed me to slack off, so why did they force me to face such an embarrassing situation? "If that's the case, why did I come all this way?"
"You are still responsible for presiding over the scene. Officer He is not qualified to handle the case independently." The police explained to me patiently.
All right…
I hummed in my heart with grievance.
As I lowered my sight, Fu Lin's shoes were getting bigger and more obvious. I even saw the leather texture on the upper, and I closed my eyes in despair.
After I opened my eyes again, I looked up at Fu Lin and said, "What are you looking at?! Do you want to fight?"
Jerry’s self-talk, “Even their personalities are similar,” almost broke my defense.
What does it resemble?
Don’t think about it!
Fu Lin's eyes flickered because of what I said, but he didn't say anything.
I chose to ignore their presence and began to reach out to the people next to me for evidence, "What is the on-site evidence you want me to see?"
As soon as I finished speaking, a snow-white black phoenix with its long tail raised up nestled softly in the palm of my hand.
"Here's the evidence." The police officer saluted me and said, "Mr. Li said the clue is on this bird. The forensic department took samples yesterday. Now the bird should be undergoing another comparison test, and the results should be available."
He was afraid that I didn't understand, so he continued to explain: "We don't use a birdcage now because this little bird doesn't have the ability to fly. It can only jump at best, so Mr. Li said that we don't need to restrain it for the time being."
"Mr. Li..."
I looked towards myself.
In order to check my physical condition, I went to my community to observe. At that time, "he" was waving at me from the window, but I didn't see his face clearly at that time, and I didn't know if he was acting like a robot. But now that I have a closer look, the system hosting is pretty good, but he does look like a young man with heat stroke and weak energy, and his eye movements are very natural. I guess he will continue to appear "sick" while waiting for me to return.
As I was examining him, Li Zhi reached out his hand to me and said, "If necessary, I can go to the police station to give a statement."
The speech is clear, the mouth is open, and the facial expression is natural.
The ideas are clear, the standards can be followed, and one-on-one answers do not seem to be rigid.
I also wanted to leave the scene, so I responded on the spot, "Sure, send him to the car."
As soon as I finished saying this, I was interrupted by the words "I can go there for him." It was Shang Hexing who said this, "He is not feeling well. I am also very clear about the whole process, so I will go to take the statement and he will go back to rest."
There was nothing wrong with Shang Hexing's words, and his tone was as cold and straightforward as ever, but the protection and concern in his words made me feel a little uncomfortable, and I even felt goose bumps.
"It's not like he can't speak." I looked at "Li Zhi", "Can you go? If you can, stand up straight. What does it mean to lean on others all the time?"
Do you want to destroy my independent and self-reliant image, system? ?
"Li Zhi" followed my words and stood up straight, "I just felt a little dizzy. I feel much better now. Which police car should I take?"
Seeing that "Li Zhi" had left his support, Shang Hexing's attitude towards me became more and more sharp. He pulled the still shaky "Li Zhi" and frowned slightly in my direction, "He is a witness, not a criminal. Can you use the right tone? In addition, you were not the police officer in charge of the investigation yesterday, right? If you were really the person in charge, you only arrived at the last minute and took away all the investigation results to complete your performance. Can this kind of idleness really be tolerated by the police station?"
This sentence has an inexplicable □□ flavor.
Perhaps because Lord Anubis was dissatisfied with the person in charge of the case, the other police officers realized that the matter might be magnified into a serious situation that they could not control.
Others began to speak up for me. "Captain Cui had to handle a lot of business by himself, so did he ask the police to help yesterday? Our police station has always been helping each other like this. In the end, it didn't affect the investigation of the case. Isn't that good enough?"
"Captain Cui Shi has just transferred from the command center and is still in the process of adapting to the case investigation process. It is inevitable that he will be lax and cause misunderstanding. Mr. Fu, please don't be angry."
"Captain Cui's temper is like this, and he doesn't mean any harm when he speaks."
They were talking at once.
The words come into me from my left and go out from my right.
I just quietly observed Shang Hexing's strange behavior.
After he got his body back, he acted out Fu Lin's concern for "Li Zhi" and became a relatable character too much.
In everyone's opinion, "Fu Lin" would not provoke the police officer for no reason.
Is he doing this on purpose to make people realize that their souls have been swapped?
Or is he deliberately pretending that he and Li Zhi have a good relationship? Is it because there is He Qisi in front of me?
But when I spoke, He Qisi didn't react at all, as if Shang Hexing thought I was bullying "Li Zhi".
I advised, "Sober up. I just asked your friend to go to the police station to cooperate. Why are you so upset? If you are really dissatisfied with my actions, you should have started to make trouble when you knew that I was the person in charge of the case. You are not targeting my way of doing things, but my tone and treatment of Li Zhi. Besides, does she need you to protect her?"
This incisive remark made everyone focus their attention back on "Li Zhi".
I glanced subconsciously and told everyone to just look at the weird Fu Lin and not look at what I was doing.
I'm just an outsider.
As soon as the thought flashed through my mind, a surprised "Be careful" came from behind, disrupting the rhythm of our conversation.
At once, the people around him all looked towards the source of the sound.
But the image of Yao Chaochao rushing towards me had already flashed through my mind. She had a very thin utility knife in her hand, and it was obvious that this was her means of revenge. From the course of the comics, it can be seen that a person who can persecute two boyfriends is essentially a bit of an antisocial personality. In addition, the murderer had a very high opinion of herself. When she realized that the police might be baiting her, she was still thinking about whether she could use her intelligence to counter her opponent.
It's no surprise what such an arrogant person would do.
It would be a waste of time to look back and see the movements now. I can catch the movements of the person opposite me by just watching the changes in his/her gaze. This is more information processing than prediction. The line of sight is lowered, indicating the height of the opponent and the height of the weapon. The left and right deviation of the line of sight proves the direction of the murderer's movement. It's all easy to guess.
The sound of footsteps behind me was as urgent as a sudden rain.
Shang Hexing in front of me obviously didn’t know that I was a martial artist. He decisively stood in front of me and followed the common idea - when encountering danger, be a meat shield first.
People with experience should know that the best approach is sanctions.
If you are trapped in the same space with a poisonous snake and you are afraid that it will harm you, you have to strike first.
The moment the blade flashes in my peripheral vision is the best time to act.
The length of Yao Chaochao's arms plus the length of the utility knife were obviously not enough to touch me at all at this point.
I chopped directly at the back of her hand.
It’s also okay to hit the wrist. Pain and heat will cause the same nerve reflex, and the person will let go or withdraw his hand.
This cannot be controlled by consciousness unless you practice it.
With a "clang", the utility knife hidden in the sleeve immediately fell to the ground. At this time, Yao Chaochao hadn't reacted yet, and my elbow directly hit the side of her head and neck. That is the junction of the skull and neck. If you are hit there, it will cause severe head concussion. In martial arts, teachers have repeatedly reminded people not to touch this kind of thing casually, as serious cases can damage the brain stem function and even cause respiratory and cardiac arrest.
In the eyes of everyone, I grabbed Yao Chaochao's hand, pulled her body towards me, and then hit her throat with my elbow. This process took less than two or three seconds. Yao Chaochao's body stiffened for a moment, but within half a second, his whole body suddenly softened as if someone had pulled out his spine, and he fell directly to the ground, unconscious.
The police officer who made the mistake quickly ran towards me, apologizing repeatedly, "Captain Cui, I'm sorry, because Yao Chaochao said she wanted to go to the bathroom. I saw that she was being cooperative, so I let my guard down."
I was just about to say "it's okay" because I think no matter how good or calm a person is, there will always be times when they stumble. Even if a big mistake is made, it cannot be resolved by simply pointing fingers. But saying something like this doesn't fit my personality.
In particular, the system no longer reminds me of my code of conduct.
When I was Tang Li, the system always reminded me. But I don’t know when I hesitated for too long and the system stopped reminding me. Afterwards I wondered if I had done a good job, but when I was playing as Li Zhi and checked the system settings, it said that because the host did not cooperate with the system reminder, the card drawing system assumed that the host did not need the system reminder, and the function was automatically closed.
In other words, the rest of the journey will depend entirely on me.
But I'm not good at criticizing others.
I looked at Fu Lin in front of me and immediately had an idea. I directed my criticism of the police officers' negligence towards Shang Hexing. "I didn't expect that the famous Anubis Savior would shrink back when faced with such a simple attack! How can people trust you to protect others?"
Of course, theoretically, Shang Hexing didn’t have much practical experience at all, so the first thing he did was to protect people behind him. Considering his experience and awareness of his own identity, this performance is remarkable and worthy of praise.
However, I have to establish myself as someone who is not easy to mess with and a troublemaker.
So, I pulled towards the direction of "Li Zhi".
The "Li Zhi" hosted by the system immediately approached me.
I was internally satisfied with the system's cooperation and the slap in the face, and couldn't help but want to praise myself. At this time, the voice of "Li Zhi" suddenly popped up, "You are really amazing!"
I was stunned.
At this moment, I suddenly recalled for the first time in a long time, the time when I felt bored playing alone as a child, and I wanted to split myself into two people so that they could play with me!
You know, although I am inherently shy and socially anxious, and I prefer to be alone when I am surrounded by a bunch of very young and energetic kids, there are always more and more interesting games to play with two people.
Besides, isn’t it interesting to have a clone that always hits the spot you want?
Look how timely this emotional value is given!
As soon as I laughed, not only Shang Hexing's face changed, but even He Qisi and Fu Lin's faces changed, as if my act of slapping Shang Hexing in the face had actually become an efficient group attack. I even read the complexity and disgust in their eyes.
"What's so amazing about this? It would be easy for me to deal with eight or ten more Yao Chaochaos. It's just that Captain Cui Shi was closer, so he got there first."
He Qisi immediately became dissatisfied.
Fu Lin also said in a calm tone, "The opponent is just a weak woman. Anyone here can easily subdue Yao Chaochao?"
The subtext of this sentence is also saying that I am not good enough.
But I think I’m pretty good, I didn’t even turn around to look at my opponent!
Why do you have so many opinions?
I don't understand.
The voice of "Li Zhi" also emerged, "But I think the captain is very good. He didn't even turn his head to look at his opponent."
"Li Zhi" paused again, "Why do you have so many opinions?"
"I don't understand."
As soon as these three sentences were spoken, He Qisi and Fu Lin were completely speechless, feeling aggrieved but unable to speak out.
Eh——
It's quite fresh to have someone serve as my mouthpiece. Sometimes when I can't say something, someone else can say it for me. This is a great tool for a decent person like me.
But I also had a strange feeling that what "Li Zhi" said had a strange kind of oppression on them. It's like when someone you care about speaks out loud, even if you think it's reasonable, you will still succumb to the other person's attitude.
This statement may be a bit vague, but it may be because everyone treats me as a very good friend.
Don’t people worry that their friends hate them?
Therefore, they attach great importance to their attitude towards friends.
I think I understand.
However, these are just minor episodes, because so far no one has jumped up to me and asked, "Are you Tang Li?"
This is the key point.
Because I have no evidence that I am not, and they have plenty of evidence that I very likely am.
The question is whether I should admit it.
As I was walking back to the police station with a group of people, I began to think about the difference between admitting it and not admitting it.
If I don't acknowledge it, it will be difficult for me to establish a positive connection with Shang Hexing, Fu Lin and others. There was no way I could play an important role in advancing their relationship.
At present, their progress in breaking the ice is too slow, and the two of them don't look like lifelong friends.
If I add fuel to the flames, for example, telling Fu Lin in front of him what good things Shang Hexing has done for him; or saying good things about Fu Lin in front of Shang Hexing, their relationship will quickly heat up due to my mediation.
Then they successfully cooperated to investigate the case and left Anubis.
Perfect!
I plan to accept the identity of "Karakuri". As for how to explain my successful escape, that's when they have to use their imagination.
*
Police station.
I took the initiative to call Fu Lin to the escape stairs first.
He prepared for the emotion of meeting an old friend again, and then tested the situation with a conservative attitude. Perhaps he had completely forgotten what Tang Li looked like.
Maybe they were surprised because of the pigeon on my shoulder.
I crossed my arms, looked at Fu Lin who I called in, and said, "I have something to say."
Fu Lin also cooperated, "It just so happens that I have something to tell you."
"I think I should say the same thing as you."
Fu Lin said, "When I was in another car just now, I heard that you were transferred from the headquarters to the special forces team to find someone."
My eyes moved subconsciously, and this was the moment to think about my settings. But Fu Lin seemed to think that he had touched my inner world. His tone was full of certainty as he asked, "Do you have a long-lost twin brother?"
“…”
I couldn't help but start struggling again.
He actually doesn't treat me as Tang Li?
I'm so obvious.
In order to advance the story of the protagonists and prevent the misunderstanding from getting worse, I took the initiative to say, "Listen to me first, I don't have a twin brother."
"I have met your brother before. His name is Tang Li. He was also on the Peace..."
Why are you so stubborn?
Is it inconvenient to recognize me?
Or is this some kind of strategy?
I want to scratch my head!
But I still explained to him in a calm tone, because people who are in a hurry to explain will be unclear.
I said, "What makes you think I must have a brother?"
Fu Lin looked at me with his deep eyes and said, "You can tell from your attitude towards Fu Lin." ”
"?"
Fu Lin continued: "Tang Li, he likes "Fu Lin" very much. His temper may not be a bit better than yours, but he is extremely cautious, gentle and considerate in front of "Fu Lin", and is completely different from you who deliberately make things difficult, ridicule, satirize, exclude and provoke. I saw all of this with my own eyes. ”
It seems like you are very dissatisfied with me.
and--
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Fu Lin took a deep breath, as if trying to calm himself down, "Tang Li is someone who would die for Fu Lin." ”
He said that if I continued to be so harsh to "Fu Lin", Tang Li would definitely die with regrets.
ha? ? ?
"This is my advice to you." Fu Lin said carefully, "and I don't want to hate you."
“…”
After Fu Lin finished speaking, he glanced towards the exit and said, "I see that you haven't fully digested these words. If you have anything else you want to ask, you can come to me again."
After saying this, he left without looking back.
ah?
