Chapter 14 Cat and Mouse Game with Death
Episode 14 Cat and Mouse Game with Death
Soon after the order was placed, all kinds of bloody raw foods were placed on the table.
The blood slowly infected the lettuce underneath. This is a common scene. However, after putting myself in the perspective of "Fu Lin", the interweaving of red and green, the colors that should have increased appetite, now have a bit of eeriness.
The scene before my eyes was more like an anatomy practice class, with the internal organs specimens laid out in front of me rather than the food itself.
However, "Fu Lin" remained calm. Until the last two dishes were served - two plates of pig brains sprinkled with chopped green onions, coriander and chili peppers, and the same color as white tofu, for a moment, his expression froze slightly, and a hint of chilliness emanated from his body uncontrollably, and his gaze involuntarily turned to me.
There was a hint of coldness in those eyes, as sharp as a knife, as if they wanted to kill me on the spot.
But it lasted less than a second, like an illusion.
"Fu Lin" hasn't made any big moves recently, and he's become more and more skilled at pretending to be Fu Lin. But I have a complacent personality, and after all this time, I almost forgot that this guy was the one who stabbed Fu Lin in the back, a ruthless person without blood or tears.
The reason why I always have a third person when I travel with him is simply because I want to give "Fu Lin" some more concerns at the critical moment. After all, when killing someone, having one more person by the side will always add an extra layer of constraints and give him an extra layer of uncertain pressure. However, this does not mean that he has no chance to take advantage of. After all, he now has Shang Hexing's thinking mode and Fu Lin's physical ability.
The rainy days mentioned in the comic trailer haven’t passed in reality yet, and my dangerous period is not completely over yet.
I also checked the weather forecast in the morning.
According to the weather report, this week's rainy days will continue until Saturday night, followed by a week of sunny days. In other words, my dangerous period may not end until Sunday.
This means that I may have to deal with "Fu Lin" for more than a day.
However, I still think there is no need to try to please "Fu Lin" too much, or even to curry his favor. It is certainly dangerous to anger "Fu Lin", but if a person wants to get rid of another person who is in the way, there is no reason enough.
If he can't even get over this little brain-teaser, then that's the extent of his ability. I've been paying attention to him these days, but it's just a waste of effort.
I am also sure that his promotion in the comic trailer (from supporting role to protagonist) is most likely a smokescreen to attract attention. It’s like the cute pets in a certain all-ages cartoon seem to interact with new characters every time they arrive at a new continent, completely throwing the old characters out of the PV, and every time it scares the audience into thinking they have changed their owners.
As expected, this difficult problem went around in front of "Fu Lin" and was then put in front of He Qisi and Xiaozhuang on the grounds of sharing the food. Afterwards, "Fu Lin" took the initiative to help with the grilling. After putting it on the grill, he began to analyze the case seriously, saying: "Although Lin Quan is suspicious, according to the on-site report, the car that caused Zhou Qiuying's death does not match the car in Lin Quan's name. In addition, when the accident happened, Li Zhi was paying attention to the other party the whole time, right?"
When my name was called, I also spoke up: "I didn't see the accident happen. When I arrived, the girl was already lying on the ground, and the boy was holding her. She was breathing at the time, and I heard the conversation between the paramedics when she got on the ambulance. She lost too much blood on the way to the emergency center, and the accident happened because the rescue was not timely."
I know what the problem is hidden in "Fu Lin's" words.
So I continued to say clearly: "From the time I discovered the accident to the time the paramedics surrounded Lin Quan and Zhou Qiuying and got them into the car, if Lin Quan did anything else, I would definitely have seen it."
"If I must say there was something suspicious about Lin Quan that day," I paused, thinking about the details, and my voice was thoughtful, "I do have some doubts."
"First of all," I frowned slightly, recalling the scene at that time, "Why did Lin Quan turn off the lights when he found Zhou Qiuying lying on the ground? Wouldn't it be more convenient to check the injuries with the lights on? Even if it was just to warn the cars behind that there was an accident here, it would be fine."
I paused, and raised my voice slightly, "Secondly, Lin Quan is a doctor, he should know the importance of first aid. But why didn't he deal with it immediately?"
"Next, what puzzled me the most was his unusual silence when he was holding Zhou Qiuying. Even if he was panicking, he should have taken some action."
I paused and turned to the three people next to me. "At least, this doesn't seem like the reaction you should have when something happens to your beloved wife."
I thought this person was behaving strangely at the time and kept my distance from him the whole time.
"However, his back was facing me at the time, and the view was dim, so I'm not sure if I missed any details."
He Qisi followed my words and thought about them, and quickly continued, "However, in terms of the time, means or motive of the crime, so far, Lin Quan has neither the time nor the means to commit the crime, nor is there any direct evidence that he has a motive for murder. But when the identification center proposed that a second autopsy was needed, he became very nervous and even took revenge on Li Zhi. It's obvious that he is guilty."
Xiaozhuang agreed seriously, "That's right! He Qisi is right! No matter what, there must be something we haven't noticed."
He Qisi pondered for a moment and raised a new question, "Can we be sure that it was Lin Quan who pushed Li Zhi"? ”
I subconsciously looked in the direction of "Fu Lin".
The person who said Lin Quan pushed me off the platform was "Fu Lin".
It is said that the person who could provide indirect evidence was also "Fu Lin".
If this guy is the culprit who is crying thief, then that is also his normal operation. However, on second thought, the thought flashed through my mind for less than two or three seconds before I quickly overturned it.
I have thought about this question before.
Because this lie is too easy to expose.
Even if video evidence is tampered with, there will definitely be traces left. If this is true, it will only attract more suspicion.
Just as I was debating in my heart, "Fu Lin" seemed to notice my gaze, and his calm eyes seemed to see through my inner hesitation. He opened his mouth to say something, but it seemed not worth wasting time, so he smiled a dull smile, as if the corners of his mouth were curved just to speak.
There was silence in the air at this moment, and all eyes were waiting for his next words. But at this moment, the topic suddenly turned in another direction. Xiaozhuang suddenly interrupted and said, "If Shang Hexing were here, this problem would be easily solved."
The name suddenly exploded on our table like thunder.
The air around them froze for a moment. And just this one second of silence seemed as long as a century to me.
He Qisi was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Indeed, Shanghexing has the complete backup technology for all of Anubis' surveillance videos. We can use advanced data recovery algorithms, and even videos that have been deleted for more than 24 hours can be retrieved through deep data mining and recovery methods."
But he couldn't help but say, "But he is too cautious. Even if he wants to leave, he is unwilling to share the permission key with anyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on his face. He Qisi seemed a little nervous, and quickly clarified himself, saying, "I don't think it's a good thing to keep the former mayor Ethel's surveillance system that illegally invaded other people's privacy without telling the citizens... I just suddenly thought of it and said it casually."
At this point, he was suddenly stunned and said in a hurried voice: "Could this be the reason why Shang Hexing disappeared? The former mayor's old subordinates arrested him. This is serious!"
The next person to answer the call was "Fu Lin".
His voice was low but calm. "The matter of Shang Hexing's disappearance has been handed over to the police for investigation. I hope there will be results as soon as possible." ”
At this moment, a thought flashed through my mind: Does Shang Hexing really hope to be found, or to disappear completely and no longer be a bother to him?
Just as I was deep in thought, Fu Lin's words broke our thoughts: "Let's just focus on eating first."
Hearing the sizzling sound coming from the grill, I subconsciously decided to turn the skewers over.
However, at this moment, I suddenly felt a chill that crawled up my fingertips like a small snake and quickly swallowed my entire arm. It spit out dangerous snake tongue, stimulating my nerve endings, making my temples throb and my arms as stiff and tense as stone.
Family members, think about this.
It is known that "Fu Lin" is Shanghe Star.
It is known that Anubis on Shanghe Star has the key to activate all monitoring equipment and observe the dynamics of the entire city.
It is known that our school's surveillance cameras also lit up.
This means that "Fu Lin" has begun to use his authority to gain his own advantage, and he may have known who the murderer of this hidden car accident was before he came.
So, why did he still ask me to participate in this case even though I knew the outcome? Is he interested and has time to play this kind of reasoning game where he already knows the answer?
Is he that kind of person?
In my mind, I could remember the calm coldness in his eyes, but I didn't get a specific answer. However, I have already remembered the classic scene in "The Lost 13 Steps" -
"In that gloomy background, in order to conceal that someone is the real executioner, the executioners will pull down the execution lever at the same time."
Am I playing a cat-and-mouse game with Death?
