When Gu Tiancheng said these words, his expression was very calm, as if he was just saying that he decided to eat a hamburger today. The night was behind him, a color of quietness and loneliness. Then You Mingxu suddenly understood that probably all the thrilling and unscrupulous decisions in this world came from a person's self-talk after a long period of silence.
There was only a dozen seconds of silence between us, but it felt like a lifetime ago.
You Mingxu ignored the thin layer of sweat on his palms, lowered his head and smiled, saying: "No wonder... I really didn't doubt you at first, you didn't seem very willing to let me get in the car, and Mingtao. Obviously I am very close to your favorite prey type. It turns out that you did it on purpose, playing hard to get. If you agree too straightforwardly, I will get suspicious."
Gu Tiancheng looked at her, his eyes were deeper than when they first met. For a moment, thousands of words seemed to flash in his eyes, a little excited, a little painful, a little alert, and a little infatuated. Finally, it returns to the silence like the mountains and seas behind.
You Mingxu also realized that she had let the cat out of the bag, but she didn't care much and wasn't panicked at all. They stared at each other for a moment, and she slowly moved back, leaning her body more comfortably against the tree trunk behind her. At this time, the idiot on the ground had unknowingly moved to her feet. His face was a little pale and a lot of blood had been lost. The fool had his hands and feet tied up with cuffs just like her. You Mingxu knew that his injuries were not fatal and would not cause him to lose his ability to move. But his mental state is now like that of a child. I'm afraid the psychological fear is far greater than the physical pain, so he is in such a depressed state. At this moment, the fool didn't know what to think. He simply leaned his head on You Mingxu's calf, and his entire body, which was over 1.8 meters tall, curled up and nestled completely at her feet, like a giant baby. You Mingxu didn't have time to pay attention to him now, so he just let him lean on him.
Gu Tiancheng's attention was all on You Mingxu, and he didn't even look at the wimp on the ground. Seeing that You Mingxu still had that calm expression, her phoenix eyes seemed to be naturally clear and distant, and her lips were pursed, he suddenly realized that this woman who had been so calm all the way was actually stronger and calmer than he had originally thought.
"Then how did you find out something was wrong?" Gu Tiancheng asked with a faint smile, "Because of those two big boxes? Blame me for not thinking it through. I didn't expect that this idiot, who was half dead, could escape and let you see the empty trunk. When I put the bicycle in before, I had already said that the trunk was full, so I had to casually say that there were two big boxes."
You Mingxu said, "That's nothing. Although it's rare for a man to go out with two big boxes, it's not uncommon. I just thought it was a bit strange at the time and started to pay attention to you. Later..." She paused and looked him in the eye: "Strange things happened one after another. You acted too concerned about everyone's safety, which was inconsistent with your previous behavior. It made me feel that you were acting a little bit."
Gu Tiancheng was not angry at all, instead he looked very interested.
"But..." You Mingxu changed the subject, "Many people have a histrionic personality to some extent, and Mingtao is even more serious than you. So this is not a major discovery, it just makes you more suspicious. What really makes me think that you are closely related to the disappearance of Song Lan and Zou Furong is something you said."
"What?" Gu Tiancheng asked almost immediately.
"'Those two girls.'" You Mingxu said.
Gu Tiancheng was stunned, somewhat confused. You Mingxu smiled and said, "After Song Lan and Zou Furong disappeared, we mentioned them several times. Every time, you said 'the two girls', 'the two girls', or at most 'they'. You never said their names once. Only liars would do this. Always avoid saying the names of the victims and are used to referring to them with pronouns. Why, you have read so many books on criminal psychology, but you didn't learn this?"
Gu Tiancheng's expression turned a little sinister. After a moment of silence, he smiled: "It's really like this. I don't need to say their names, which makes me feel more relaxed. I remember it and I won't do it again next time."
You Mingxu's mouth curled up into a sarcastic smile, and Gu Tiancheng saw it clearly. Instead of getting angry, he laughed: "What do you mean by laughing?"
You Mingxu didn't say anything. His expression was calm, as if he didn't hear anything, which made him look like a scoundrel pretending to be dead. Gu Tiancheng threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it out, smiled, and stood up.
At this time, You Mingxu finally felt a little nervous as he approached quietly. She really didn't like this feeling. Even now, she could still be affected by the aura of this beast. She thought it was all ridiculous.
Gu Tiancheng squatted beside her, his hands on his knees, and he still smelled of that faint, pleasant perfume. Although this perfume smell was plundered from the stupid policemen on the ground. He looked very peaceful, and very much like the man I first met.
You Mingxu seemed unaware and let him stare at him while he looked at the ground. What made her speechless was that the idiot on the ground... actually fell asleep. Or fainted? He had his eyes tightly closed, still curled up, resting his head on her calves, breathing evenly and slowly, and even snoring a little...
"Are all female police officers as difficult to deal with as you?" Gu Tiancheng asked softly in her ear.
You Mingxu only felt a hard heat in his heart, which rolled over and over for a few times. Instead, she curled her lips and smiled: "Oh, what are you going to do?"
"It's very simple." Gu Tiancheng reached out and touched her face. She almost turned her head away immediately. He didn't care. Instead, a particularly excited smile appeared in his eyes. "You are in my hands now. I don't think your external help will arrive for a while. So I can do whatever I want."
You Mingxu's expression became very cold, her eyes drooped, and she looked at everyone with a hint of contempt. She said, "Let's be honest. Let the others go, including the idiot. I'll go with you. You also said that I'm already in your hands. We still have a long way to go, and it's not certain who will live or die. I knew you didn't call the police, so I notified my brothers. You don't have much time left, so why waste it on these people? Take me away as soon as possible."
Gu Tiancheng, however, looked at her deeply with his pair of dark eyes. Just staring at You Mingxu, who was always rough, made a trace of hateful anxiety rise in his heart.
"Are you serious..." he asked, "You want to take advantage of the kidnapping opportunity to go with me? Or are you just trying to coax me, and want to find a way to capture me after saving the hostages?"
You Mingxu was silent for a moment, his black eyelashes trembled slightly, and a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Guess."
