The woman's fingers were thin and soft. Yin Feng felt very comfortable and was obedient. He raised his body but kept his arms pressing on the back of her chair from behind. He found that he really liked this feeling.
"Their leader..." Yin Feng said, "conveyed to them not evil, but 'good'. He told them that what they were doing was the right thing, and perhaps told them that this was atonement. He told them that through such 'punishment of evil', their spiritual trauma would be healed. He gave them all seemingly positive, kind, and beautiful influences. That's why we see that those people can live peacefully and safely in a house. They are so loyal and steadfast to the organization, and have no regrets even in death. They thought that 'he' had healed them, but in fact they were on a more twisted path in life."
You Mingxu played with the small empty teacup between his fingers: "'He'?"
Any group must have a leader. It’s just that the leader of this organization had never been found before. You can't even imagine what he looks like. But now, with the death of 6 members, the conclusion of the criminal investigation expert and Yin Feng's analysis, that "he" seems to have a vague outline.
You Mingxu thought again of the person that You Yingjun had mentioned before - he said that he always felt that there was someone spying on him and threatening him, which made him feel depressed and scared. Could this person be Wei Lan who once lurked beside him? But seeing the series of actions Yin Feng took to grab Wei Lan, she didn't believe that Wei Lan could bring such a great deterrent to Yin Feng.
Could that be 'him'?
Did Yin Feng feel his presence? Have you ever had any intersection with him?
Yin Feng returned to sit opposite her. As if sensing her doubts, he said, "I also have some analysis and inferences about that leader."
"you say."
"The second one." He said calmly.
You Mingxu didn't react and frowned, but he changed the subject: "He can't be very young. Judging from the age of the people around him and his influence on these mature criminals, he must be at least between 30 and 50 years old."
When You Mingxu thought about this, he agreed. Age represents the maturity of experience and thinking structure. A young man can be a criminal genius, but to understand the psychological state and ups and downs of people like Gu Tiancheng and Xiang Rong, and even to brainwash and influence them, he must be a person with considerable life experience.
"Secondly, he hates guilty people very much and must have suffered very unfair treatment and attacks. He has lost the most precious things in life."
You Mingxu nodded. It makes sense.
"Third, he doesn't trust the judiciary and the police. But judging by the attitude of the organization's members towards the police, they don't hate the police either."
You Mingxu thought about it and agreed. All their actions were carried out in secret. The previous killings of the six guilty persons were disguised as suicides or accidents, obviously because they did not want to arouse the suspicion of the police.
"Fourth, he is very smart and is particularly good at manipulating other people's psychology and emotions. He is also very rich."
"Um."
At this time, Yin Feng suddenly smiled and said, "Fifth, why do you think he targeted me? And why did he spend so much energy on me?"
You Mingxu didn't look into his eyes, but only looked at the buttons on his shirt, the clear lines of his neck, and his white jaw.
"Why?" she asked.
"Don't you think what he did looks a little familiar?" Yin Feng said.
You Mingxu raised his eyes and looked at him.
There was a slight smile on his lips, but his eyes were silent.
You Mingxu's heart trembled suddenly, and he realized what he said. He knew from her expression that she had thought of it. He picked up the tea and took a sip, and said, "He is doing the same thing as me, but it is different."
Tuya, Laojiu, Xiaoyan, Guanjun...each of them was once a guilty person, each of them once had good intentions, but was defeated and destroyed by life. It was Yin Feng who made them regain their confidence. Yin Feng "collected" each and every one of them, asked them to follow him and stop committing crimes. So even though the people around him are sometimes evil and walk in the gray area of the law, Yin Feng has control over their minds. Yin Feng is the shackle that stands between them and crime.
"Why... are you doing this?" You Mingxu asked without thinking. This was also a question she had wanted to ask for a long time.
Yin Feng looked at her quietly and said, "Perhaps what I hope to believe in my life is to avoid doing evil and practice all good."
You Mingxu couldn't explain how he felt in his heart. Such a profound statement actually came out of Yin Feng's mouth. He always seems to live coldly and capriciously, but when he really says so, you feel that if he says so, then it is so.
They were both silent for a while, and Yin Fengxian said, "So, he targeted me and did those things to me, not because he chose me as we originally thought. But because he was comparing and competing with me."
You Mingxu was stunned.
Yin Feng sneered and said, "Compare who believes in the truth. Compare who can bring true forgiveness and new life to the guilty. So what is the best way to test? It is to use me to verify, destroy me, and harm me. If I can't bear it and become a guilty person, then they have achieved the most important step. Once the door to crime is opened, it can no longer be stopped. Next, they can guide me to become a 'punisher'. So, when they know that I 'killed' you, they can't wait to show their true colors, because this is what 'he' has always wanted to see."
You Mingxu pondered for a moment and had to say that although this way of "contest" was bizarre, it was strangely persuasive.
This is in line with the logic of a psychopath.
"There are indeed similarities in what you two do," said You Mingxu.
"Yes." Yin Feng turned the lid of the tea bowl, making a crisp and subtle clinking sound. "The universe is so big, and life is so diverse, but he and I have ended up in the same place. It's like... the same blood flows in his body."
It was as if a string in You Mingxu's heart was plucked by him and jumped, and he remained silent. He just looked at her silently. After a while, he suddenly smiled and changed the subject: "That's the end of the case analysis. Are you tired after a day's work? I'll take you for a walk downstairs."
You Mingxu did not answer. She picked up the teapot, poured herself a cup, and filled his own cup as well. He stared at her movements.
She smiled and said, "Let's get back to this matter. So from the beginning, you planned to set a trap for Wei Lan. The girl you were holding was just to irritate me and cause a conflict..."
Yin Feng interrupted her: "When did I hug you?"
You Mingxu didn't want to dwell on this question with him, and continued, "Then what you said to me before was also part of the plan, wasn't it?"
She looked normal, but Yin Feng stared into her eyes and asked, "What did you say?"
You Mingxu's expression didn't change at all: "If you want to come back to me."
Yin Feng was silent for a moment, then slowly leaned back into his chair. He didn't look at her, but just stared at the teapot between them on the table. He said, "That was indeed planned, to pave the way for angering you later. But it's also true."
You Mingxu didn't say anything.
The house was extremely quiet for a moment. There was only the sound of wind blowing outside the window and the faint chirping of birds in the distance.
Then You Mingxu heard Yin Feng say: "I have been waiting for a few days. Why didn't you ask me whether the two reports were true? You Mingxu, I was born this way. I can live a good and successful life, but no one has ever truly felt my heart, and I can't feel others. In the past, I have never been with women for a long time. None of them could make me feel excited and safe. I was with them just for fun, but I actually felt it was extremely boring.
Over the years, I have endured long periods of loneliness, always trying to suppress some impulses that I didn't even understand. It took everything in me to stop myself from going towards it. The result of long-term mental repression is that under their persecution and stimulation, I became You Yingjun. You Yingjun is my last resort of escape, an escape from them and also an escape from something deep in my heart.
But now, I'm back. I don’t know what we went through during that time, but those innate, strong, and extremely unstable desires that I couldn’t control suddenly became concrete.
My desire is you.
So I want you to know who I really am. Can you accept me like this? Would you like to try to be with me? ”
