The sound of sneakers stepping into the mud and then falling out was particularly harsh. Suddenly, several figures jumped out from behind the restaurant across the street and rushed towards the running young man.
Fang Shan saw a familiar figure among them and reacted immediately, covering his abdomen and gasping for breath, as if he was extremely tired.
He put on a full show, even pointing at the young man's back and shouting, "Catch him!"
This is destined to be a restless night.
As if the heavens were aiding the young man's hiding, the surrounding streetlights flickered in and out due to the thunder and lightning that preceded the downpour, and soon ceased working completely. The darkness greatly obstructed his vision, and the young man seized this opportunity. Instead of running forward, he turned and clattered through the iron gate. From the next door came the frantic barking of a dog, and the young man's back gradually disappeared into the darkness.
The figures quickly followed. One of them stopped at the entrance of the dark alley and walked over to Fang Shan. The sound of gnashing teeth was particularly clear in the darkness: "Have we met somewhere before?"
The police had a very strong memory for faces, so Fang Shan didn't expect to fool them with simple makeup and women's clothing. He greeted them, "What a coincidence, Officer Geng."
The night dimmed the last trace of Geng Feng's usual gentleness, and he looked at him with the scrutiny of a criminal: "Why are you here?"
Fang Shan spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "Who doesn't have some fun in life?"
Geng Feng had previously received a report from his subordinates that someone suspected to be from the Wei family was seen in a bar. That would have been fine, but now there was one more person in the middle of a trap that was already being set up.
"Do you know that if he escapes, innocent lives will be lost?"
Fang Shan scoffed, "It can only be said that the officer's plan has too many loopholes."
Geng Feng frowned, but did not deny it. Time and manpower were very tight at the moment, and there was no female police officer who could help for the time being. It was not easy for him to deploy manpower in the dark alley.
"Don't worry, he can't get away." Fang Shan invited, "Let's go to the bar for a drink, just to calm me down."
Geng Feng didn't know whether to be angry or amused. The man's breathing was heavy, as if he was very tired, but one look at his expression told him he was probably faking it. He shook his head and refused, "You can't drink while on official business."
Fang Shan: "See you next time then."
After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation.
Geng Feng had already turned around when he suddenly recalled the words "he couldn't escape," without a trace of doubt in his tone. Even though they had only met a few times, he was certain Fang Shan wasn't someone who trusted others easily. That certainty didn't come from the pursuing police, but from himself.
He narrowed his eyes and followed Fang Shan into the bar.
In the noisy bar, Geng Feng ordered a glass of lemonade and walked towards the booth. Fang Shan had a faint smile on his face, which formed a sharp contrast with Wei Sushen's cold expression.
Geng Feng sat down across from them without saying anything. A moment later, he received a message from his men saying that the suspect had escaped. He put away his phone expressionlessly and looked directly at Fang Shan, "Where is he?"
At this moment, he was almost certain that the person in front of him had a backup plan.
Fang Shan shook his wine glass, trying to portray the weakest character to the fullest, and secretly glanced at Wei Sushen.
The latter received the hint and asked, "Why did Officer Geng choose to stake out here?"
If it were any other person, Geng Feng would have dismissed them with a confidential message without hesitation. Unfortunately, the Wei family was known for their reluctance to act. After careful consideration, he said, "Serial killers develop gradually. To uncover their most fatal weaknesses, we often have to go back to their first case. We've uncovered some clues we'd overlooked, and we're following them to uncover the real cause."
Many crucial details were omitted, but considering his status, it is commendable that he could say these.
"Isn't it your turn to explain now?"
Wei Sushen caught a glimpse of Fang Shan's nonchalant attitude. After a moment's thought, he said, "Urban legend."
Geng Feng's eyes twitched.
Wei Sushen: "It's understandable that someone could kill someone simply because they imitated a murder in a game or became obsessed with an urban legend."
After hearing this, Geng Feng's expression gradually became serious.
Fang Shan suddenly leaned on Wei Sushen's shoulder: "My heart is beating so fast."
Wei Sushen cooperated with his performance: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Fang Shan showed a painful expression: "I was almost hurt by that pervert just now."
Wei Sushen: "Thank you for your hard work."
Fang Shan stared at him with half-closed eyes. He had always thought that the host's willingness to cooperate with the performance was already the pinnacle, but he never thought that he could now act opposite him.
The distortion of human nature or the decline of morality?
While thinking about this question seriously, Wei Sushen suddenly stood up and said, "It's time to go back."
Geng Feng reached out as if to grab Fang Shan and continue questioning him, but Fang Shan was quicker than him, flicking his wrist and firmly grasping his arm. Geng Feng frowned, puzzled by his quick movements, and at the same time, he keenly sensed a malicious gaze fixed on him.
"You dare to touch him again?" Wei Sushen looked at him with a warning.
Geng Feng: “…” Two lunatics, a perfect match!
Before leaving, Fang Shan clasped his hands together and said in a very pious manner, "I have always been a law-abiding citizen."
The subtext is that someone will not be executed privately.
Geng Feng put away his strange look and said, "I'll wait and see."
As they left the bar, it was still pouring rain. Fang Shan really enjoyed this kind of weather; at least in his eyes, it was much more exciting than sunny days. Wei Sushen, not having a penchant for getting wet in the rain, hailed a taxi and forced the poetic figure inside.
Due to the driver's presence, Wei Sushen remained silent in the car. After getting out, he asked, "Did you ask System 333 to cooperate secretly?"
Fang Shan nodded. It wasn't that he was intentionally hiding something, but he had to be prepared for any eventuality. Countless facts had proven that it was a wise decision to prepare for both scenarios.
Wei Sushen: "Where did he take the person?"
Fang Shan: "Garage."
·
There are three men in the Wei family, and none of them likes cars. There are only two cars parked in the huge garage all year round.
The young man was tied up and thrown to the ground. System 333 sat on the hood of the car, his face filled with confusion. "A murderer kills for the thrill of it, not because he's fearless..." He pinched the young man's chin and said, "Why do I still see fear in your eyes?"
The garage has good sound insulation. The young man once hit the iron sheet at the back hard, but it was all in vain.
"I don't know what you're talking about," the young man said, quickly calming down. "You're committing a crime."
System 333 almost laughed to death.
At this moment, the garage door suddenly opened slowly. The young man was so surprised that he missed the chance to call for help: "Why is it you?!"
When the light outside was completely blocked out, I couldn't help but secretly hate my own stupidity.
Fang Shan said to him sincerely, "You never know if the next pervert is on his way to you."
System 333 secretly pointed at Wei Sushen's head... Is there any damage to 666's parts? Why did it suddenly change towards the direction of a philosopher?
Wei Sushen did not give an explanation. He had discovered long ago that whenever it rained or the seasons changed, the system would be in a strange state of melancholy.
Fang Shan: "Tell me, what inspired you to do so?"
When he heard the word "evil god", a trace of panic flashed in the young man's eyes. Although he had restrained himself terribly, his shoulders still trembled slightly with fear.
For a full five minutes, the young man gritted his teeth and didn't say a word. Even when System 333 removed his arm, he only groaned.
Fang Shan's methods in this regard were not as good as System 333's, so he simply watched him torment. However, no matter how much pain he suffered, the young man was determined not to speak.
"Don't go too far. I'm planning to send him to the police station to collect the reward."
System 333 has a bad temper, but because of Fang Shan, he didn't explode. He had many methods of interrogation, but after using them all, there would probably be only a wreckage left in the garage.
The young man had already fainted temporarily from the pain. Fang Shan sighed, "In this respect, you are not as good as my host."
System 333 saw him staring at Wei Sushen with eager eyes and immediately sneered, "Do you think my interrogation skills are inferior to his?"
Wei Sushen, who was standing by, couldn't help but ponder when he became a tyrant in Fang Shan's mind.
"Pain and pleasure are relative." Fang Shan said with a smile, "Hasn't the host learned Puppetry?"
After he reminded him, Wei Sushen inevitably thought of the time when he was secretly selling sex toys.
Fang Shan's eyes flickered with an obscure light: "Don't let your precious skills become obscured by dust."
Wei Sushen refused coldly without hesitation.
Fang Shan continued, speaking in a motherly tone, "It's always good to have many skills. The host hasn't used Puppetry for a long time."
"I refuse."
Fang Shan glanced at System 333, who shuddered at his gaze. The next second, Fang Shan said, "Besides, you only need to be responsible for the production. He can do the interrogation."
System 333 immediately said, "I will never sell my soul to the devil."
Fang Shan smiled faintly: "To be or not to be..."
System 333 changed its tone and said, "I am willing to submit to you."
Wei Sushen held his forehead, and the battle line collapsed in a second: "Go back first, and talk about it tomorrow."
Faced with the delaying tactic, Fang Shan did not express any objection.
The rain was much lighter than before. When Fang Shan was almost at the entrance of the villa, he looked back and saw that System 333 had not caught up with him, and he showed satisfaction.
Wei Sushen: "Are you sure it will be useful?"
Fang Shan nodded: "His points are more than enough to exchange for a truth serum."
However, given System 333's stinginess, it was absolutely impossible for it to actively redeem it, so it had to put on a show.
Fang Shan smiled and said, "Compared to using the sex toys that the host might have made, he will make the most advantageous choice."
The sound of rain covered their conversation, and the moment the door opened, the coldness on their bodies was dispelled.
The night passed quickly, and Fang Shan got up very early the next day. According to his plan, there were many things to do in the new day.
Just as he opened his mouth to say a few words to Wei Sushen, the little fat boy burst in: "Brother, Dad moved the inspection forward to today, so we have to pack up quickly."
"Inspection?" Fang Shan, with the idea of not taking advantage of an opportunity, stuck half of his head out: "Take me with you."
The little fat man was stunned for a moment, then ran downstairs to ask Wei Ye for his opinion. The other party nodded and made an OK gesture downstairs.
Considering that there was a perverted murderer locked up in the garage, Fang Shan offered to drive the car. The car quickly drove along the boulevard, and the soft light music soothed people's nerves.
The place where he was being examined looked very familiar. Dr. John's skin was even more tanned than before. When he saw Wei Sushen, he took the initiative to greet him: "Hello again."
The word "again" is enough to explain too many problems.
Wei Sushen ignored the strange looks from his family members one after another, and recalled his first meeting with Fang Shan, so he came here specifically for a mental examination.
Dr. John, an experienced doctor, did not comment on the whole family coming for the test. Instead, he took them to a separate room surrounded by pleasant green plants, creating a very comfortable environment.
After they were all seated, Dr. John handed each of them a small whiteboard. "There aren't many items that need to be tested, but before that, I think the relationship between you is the most important thing."
Even with just one glance, you can tell that these people in front of you have nothing to do with the three good families.
Wei Ye was a man who pursued efficiency, so he asked directly, "What should we do now?"
Dr. John crossed his arms in front of him in a fairly harmless pose, trying to put them at ease. "Do the simplest one first. Write down the strengths and weaknesses of the other person."
Except for the little fat guy, everyone else looked at each other with disdainful expressions.
Dr. John smiled stiffly and said, "If you feel embarrassed, you can replace the advantages and disadvantages with the most unacceptable thing about the other person so far."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of pens falling could be heard. While Fang Shan and others were still thinking, Wei Sushen had already handed in an answer sheet.
Dr. John didn't look at the content on the whiteboard. Instead, he asked for feedback: "Would you mind sharing with everyone and having a spiritual exchange?"
Wei Sushen: "Whatever."
Dr. John adjusted his glasses with a smile and began to analyze: "It says here that your biggest complaint about your father is that he's too strict with rules..."
Wei Ye's eyes moved and he glanced at Wei Sushen thoughtfully.
"But that doesn't mean you hate rules." Dr. John is also a professional psychology expert. He read through them one by one and extracted a lot from his opinions on each person.
The little fat boy was the most surprised. He had always thought that his brother disliked his IQ, but he didn't expect that he just couldn't stand his overeating.
The scene gradually became warm and Dr. John felt quite relieved. That was until he saw the last sentence. His pupils suddenly dilated and he almost thought he had seen it wrong: "The biggest dissatisfaction with the lover... forced implantation?!"
The author has something to say: Dr. John: I suspect he was driving, but I have no evidence.
Wei Sushen: Forced binding = forced chip implantation, is there a problem?
