"Oh yeah." The boy was shaking a little as he took a few steps, looking a bit arrogant. Gu Tiancheng got out of the car, helped him fold the bicycle, and put it on the roof.
The boy sank into the back seat and sighed comfortably. The car continued to drive forward into the darkness.
At first, no one spoke. The boy was typing and sending voice messages on his phone. You Mingxu heard him tell several people that he finally got a ride, and that the ride was with a handsome guy and a beautiful girl. They sat in the front without any hesitation.
After a while, the boy leaned forward and introduced himself: "My name is Mingtao. I am a senior and will graduate soon. So I came to Tibet to fulfill my dream. I have been walking for three days."
"You Mingxu."
"Gu Tiancheng."
Ming Tao looked at them again, smiled, and said, "As expected, you two are not boyfriend and girlfriend. You two don't look like lovers when you're together."
Unexpectedly, Gu Tiancheng answered this question and asked, "What should a boyfriend and girlfriend look like?"
Ming Tao replied: "Be a little more intimate. When I went out with my girlfriend, she almost always hung on me. Very clingy. But this sister seems to have a cooler personality. But it shouldn't be like this. You see, although she is sitting next to you, her body is slightly tilted to the outside, keeping a distance from you. The two of you didn't make much eye contact during this period, and when you spoke a few words, you were very polite to each other, and you asked and answered questions in a formal manner. So, you are definitely not boyfriend and girlfriend. You are not friends with benefits, right?"
Gu Tiancheng: “…”
You Mingxu: “…”
Mingtao seemed to think he had told a very funny joke and burst into laughter. And his smile was quite exaggerated. Then he suddenly stopped and returned to his nonchalant expression.
You Mingxu thought, this guy really likes acting.
She said, "So you have a pretty good eye for observation?"
Ming Tao chuckled and said, "More than strong. To tell you the truth, I have made some achievements in psychology and behavioral analysis. Do you know what behavioral analysis is? It is a method in criminal psychology. Have you seen the American TV series Criminal Minds? It is to deduce conclusions through your behavior. I have studied several TV series and have seen many cases of serial killers abroad. I often analyze the people around me and the people I meet on the road. I think it is very interesting."
You Mingxu smiled but said nothing.
Gu Tiancheng said calmly, "I really don't understand the criminal psychology you mentioned. I don't like watching American dramas either. But I don't think they are as amazing as you say. You first guessed that we were boyfriend and girlfriend, and then you guessed..." He paused, "We are in that kind of relationship, and you still make a lot of analysis. In fact, if you just saw that there was only one bicycle on the roof, and then looked at the height of the base, you would know that it was a girl's bicycle. If we were boyfriend and girlfriend or friends who met in advance and made an appointment to travel together, how could we only bring one bicycle?"
Ming Tao's eyes widened.
You Mingxu also glanced at Gu Tiancheng and said softly, "Sure... just like Sherlock Holmes."
Gu Tiancheng smiled faintly: "Is it that exaggerated? It's just a normal inference."
Ming Tao pushed forward and bowed with both hands: "Great God, please accept my worship!"
This time even Gu Tiancheng was amused by him and glanced at the lively and funny boy in the rearview mirror. Mingtao said to You Mingxu again: "So you are hitchhiking as well. We are both wanderers in this world. Let's shake hands." He stretched out his hand, but You Mingxu didn't want to shake hands with him. Turning around, she saw his eyes behind his bangs, which were shining with a smile. She patted his hands and said, "No need to be polite, just sit still."
Ming Tao smiled, took a few more glances at her appearance and figure, then leaned back, his legs shaking slightly, looking very comfortable.
There was still no sign of human habitation ahead. There are one or two small houses, but they are dark, old and dilapidated. They must be abandoned residences.
The car kept moving forward.
The three of them were silent for a while, and the music from the radio station became particularly noticeable.
Ming Tao suddenly said, "Why are you listening to this? Listen to the news. There's a serial killer roaming the roads lately, killing everyone he sees. Have you heard about it?"
The carriage was silent for a while.
You Mingxu's tone was a little nervous: "What serial killer? I have never heard of it. What's going on?"
Gu Tiancheng also said: "I haven't heard of it, tell me about it."
Ming Tao actually smiled a little smugly and said, "You don't know this? Lucky you met me. Well, there was only a little information reported in the news, very low-key. But I know the situation clearly--" His tone suddenly became a little lower, and he slowly whispered in their ears: "The killer killed two people in Xiangcheng, Hunan. The police didn't catch him, and they didn't even know whether he was a man or a woman, old or young. Isn't it amazing? He fled to Tibet and killed two people along the highway. You may ask, how do you know he killed them all?
Because these serial killers all have marking behaviors. The police must have judged that it was the same person based on some of his similar behaviors and investigated the cases together. He killed young and beautiful girls. Like Miss You. ”
However, You Mingxu did not show any fear, but Gu Tiancheng said, "Don't scare her."
Ming Tao glanced at the two of them and muttered, "It's quite ambiguous, huh? But think about it, isn't it quite exciting? We are traveling on this road, and the serial killer might be heading in the same direction. You might even meet him on the road. Hey, Miss You, are you scared?"
Now even You Mingxu felt that this person was a bit annoying. She did not answer but asked: "Are you afraid?"
Ming Tao smiled faintly: "Of course I'm not afraid. I was looking forward to meeting a serial killer. Anyway, he kills young girls and won't kill me. Unfortunately, along the way, I haven't met anyone like him."
Gu Tiancheng asked: "Do you know what he looks like?"
Ming Tao replied: "Of course I don't know. But I know serial killers. If I meet one, I will definitely recognize him. I will use his behavioral evidence to analyze it."
Gu Tiancheng smiled, turned around and said, "Do you think I look like him?"
Ming Tao was stunned. Before he could answer, You Mingxu turned around and smiled faintly: "Didn't you say you didn't know if it was a boy or a girl? Ming Tao, and me, do they look alike?"
Two good-looking faces looked at Ming Tao with a half-smile, and their eyes were a little hard to read. Ming Tao was stunned for a while, then suddenly he clapped his hands and laughed, saying, "Interesting, interesting! One car, three strangers, we don't know if we will run into a serial killer, and we don't know if the serial killer is among us. Hey, it's the same for me. I've told you so much about serial killers, do you think I look like him?"
