Black Lotus villain disguise strategy

Xue Ran stopped, thinking that she should obediently listen to Jiang Xun's words and not act without authorization, standing at the door of the store watching Dai Yong's every move,
Unexpectedly, the other party was so vigilant, and suddenly raised his eyes to catch her figure, and his expression seemed a little surprised in an instant,

　Xue Ran's heart tightened, and he thought to himself that he would be seen anyway, so he bravely walked up,

"Mr. Dai,"

She softly asked the man on the workbench:
"Are you free now?"

Dai Yong raised his head, his deep pool-like eyes glanced at Xue Ran lightly, after thinking for a while, he reluctantly put down the things in his hand,
He lowered his eyes and cleaned up the table, and said in a cold voice:
"Sit on the chair for a while, I, come right over."

Xue Ran nodded, not inconvenient to urge the person in front of him to tidy up the utensils slowly, and walked towards the house, but she didn't sit on the wooden chair in front of her to rest, and looked at the small shop in front of her from the corner of her eye.

I feel that the items displayed in the store are probably all handicraft products. The objects are very delicate and exquisite, and must have been carefully carved by Dai Yong himself bit by bit.

In the cabinet next to her hand was a neat row of carved wooden seals. Xue Ran glanced at it for a while, and suddenly realized a problem, so he shuddered violently.
The inscriptions on these seals... aren't they all mirror images?

She couldn't help breathing stagnantly, and a chill rushed into her heart, secretly saying that it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it be that threatening letter...

"Bang-"

Accompanied by a sudden loud noise, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, Xue Ran turned around in surprise, and saw Dai Yong close the store door, put up a "Closed Business" sign, and then turned around unhurriedly,
The man's face was expressionless and bloodless, and the thick shadow under the brow bone made one's hair stand on end inexplicably,

"Go up the stairs on your left to the sixth floor, and turn right is my house,"

He raised his hand and said in a hoarse voice:

"Since you insist on coming, if you have anything to say, just go upstairs and talk!"
.
Feeling that his words seemed to have a hint of threat after becoming angry from shame, Xue Ran's heart tightened, and before he had time to think, he saw him approaching him step by step,

"Let's go,"

He looked at the person in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Didn't you come to me on your own initiative?"

Hearing these words, Xue Ran's heart shuddered. He didn't know what consequences he would incur if he didn't follow his wishes. Although he still couldn't determine the identity of the other party, he didn't dare to risk himself when he thought of the murderer's previous series of brutal actions. ,
She subconsciously glanced out of the glass door, then withdrew her gaze sadly, and stepped up the steps in front of her in fear.

Xue Ran originally wanted to find a chance to send a message to Jiang Xun and the others, but Dai Yong walked behind her and kept a close eye on her all the way, so she didn't dare to make any small moves, thinking uneasily:

Could this Dai Yong really be that serial killer?Isn't she giving away her own head now? .
Standing in front of his house, Xue Ran looked at the brand new door in front of him, which was in stark contrast with the next door, and thought that Dai Yong's cleanliness must be quite serious.
When he turned sideways and opened the door of his own room, Xue Ran couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the scene in front of him.
I just feel that the house is very empty, there is almost no furniture and decorations, the sanitation is spotless, and there is even a smell of disinfectant in the air.
Smelling the smell, Xue Ran suddenly felt something was wrong. It may not necessarily mean that the owner of the house is always cleaning and sanitating, but it may also be to deal with some unclean things...

The uneasy thoughts became more and more intense, she looked sideways at Dai Yong's sullen side face, pretending to be calm and asking:
"Excuse me, can I...can I go to the bathroom?"

Not knowing how he would respond, Xue Ran swallowed nervously. Fortunately, the other party nodded slightly, raised her hand and gave Xue Ran instructions, and she breathed a sigh of relief, clenched her fists and walked towards the direction indicated by him. .
.
After locking the door behind him, Xue Ran supported the wall beside him, realizing that his legs were weak,
She then took out her mobile phone and sent the edited text message to Jiang Xun, praying in her heart that they would come here in time, even if they just stepped on time, she didn't want to be decapitated and end up dead without a whole body .

However, when she pressed the send button, she realized that the message could not be sent at all, and the signal in this place was completely blocked!
it's over...

Xue Ran's heart turned cold, and some cold sweat oozed from her forehead. She clenched her teeth and comforted herself that maybe she was too nervous. The mirrored words she saw just now were just a coincidence, and the lack of mobile phone signal may also be due to the geographical location.
If she wants to know whether Dai Yong is the murderer, she can ask him directly. If he is lying, she can see through it at a glance.

But what if he directly admits to the showdown, and then kills to silence it?

Frightened, Xue Ran thought to himself, if Ding Baiyi hadn't been idle in the hospital before, he had gone through all the case files, large and small, even if there was a slight connection, and found that Dai Sisi's death method and age were just right, they It is impossible to find Dai Yong at all,
You must know that Dai Yong classified his daughter's death as an accident at the beginning, without any suspicion that it was a serial killer. This in itself is a bit unreasonable, unless he knows in his heart that the murderer is himself!
Xue Ran helped his forehead and felt a little headache. He felt that the matter had come to an end, and he could only take a step forward.

Holding the sink, Xue Ran managed to stabilize his emotions, turned on the faucet, and washed the cold sweat off his palms with cold water.

She raised her head casually, but the moment she saw the mirror in front of her, she took a sharp breath,

Seeing a string of paradoxical symbols on the mirror that looked like blood characters at first glance, Xue Ran felt that it should be red paint similar in color to blood.

These unknown symbols are really weird, so she took a closer look, and felt a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, with a vague impression,

Remembering where he had seen similar pictures, an idea suddenly popped into Xue Ran's mind,
This guy...doesn't he believe in the Outer Gods?
If he was really a fanatical admirer of those nonsensical theories, he might do crazy things that ordinary people can't understand. Thinking of this, she couldn't help wondering whether the dry and blackened red paint in front of her eyes could really be human blood, right?
Now she feels more and more that this Dai Yong is really not a kind person. If he is really a serial killer, it is hard to say what this thing is in front of him!
Suddenly, Xue Ran recalled some previous experiences - almost being hit by a glass, being followed in a convenience store. Could it be that the person who attacked her was Dai Yong, and the other party locked her from the beginning?And follow along?

After thinking about it carefully, Xue Ran suddenly realized that it was a coincidence that the murderer's next target should be a girl of his own age.

Could it be that the murderer's target was never Bai Zinc, but himself?

Thinking about it this way, Xue Ran felt more and more bad, what should she do now?Hiding in the bathroom and not going out, or rushing out unarmed to fight to the death with Dai Yong, who is as tall as two of him?
Xue Ran clenched her fists and paced in the small space full of apprehension. Suddenly, she lowered her eyes and saw through the gap under the door the soles of the leather shoes of the man outside the door.
.
"Are you... all right in there?"

Hearing the man's question out of concern, Xue Ran's hair stood on end for a moment, she swallowed, and said as calmly as possible through her dry throat:
"Ah, it's okay."

However, the other party didn't intend to leave. Xue Ran saw him standing outside the door without moving through the crack of the door, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart... Would he be going to slam the door in?
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind for a moment, Xue Ran thought, no wonder she always thought this Dai Yong was very weird, no wonder his wife wanted to run away with someone else!

She also thought that the current situation was really not optimistic, and she might die here today!In a while, if Jiang Xun and the others come and see her decapitated, it will feel like...

Xue Ran closed his eyes and calmed down for a while, and put aside all the distracting thoughts in his head. He felt that she could not hide here. If Dai Yong was enraged, wouldn't he just pick up the ax and strike at the door?
A scene from a horror movie flashed through her mind, her heart skipped a beat, she raised her trembling arm, and her cold fingertips touched the doorknob with trepidation.
.
Opening the door, the man standing at the door twitched his eyebrows and said calmly:

"I thought something happened to you."

Xue Ran smiled calmly as usual, thinking to himself that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, and he couldn't think of a proper reason for a while, so he said vaguely:
"Well... I suddenly remembered something else, so I won't bother you today."

The man raised his eyebrows, "Don't ask?"

"Ah, there's a new lead,"

Xue Ran pretended to look at the phone, pretending to be calm and authentic:

"I made an appointment with the inspector and the others to meet near here, and it's almost time."

"Oh, really?"

Seeing that Dai Yong turned his head and looked at her indifferently, Xue Ran couldn't help clenching his fists, not sure if the other party had seen through her clumsy lies.

"As you please."

The man waved his hands helplessly, then suddenly became angry, and said sullenly:
"You people are really strange. You came here uninvited for no reason, and now you say you have something to leave. Do you think that someone with a low status like me should obey your orders unconditionally?"

Xue Ran was taken aback when he heard this, what do you mean?Wasn't it Dai Yong who took the initiative to text her just now?How did she come here uninvited?
After being confused for a while, an astonishing thought suddenly popped into her mind, could it be... Dai Yong was not the person who sent her a text message just now?
Xue Ran couldn't help taking a deep breath, and suddenly realized that the source of the news really didn't have time to verify that she rushed over so recklessly.
Could it be that she misunderstood that Dai Yong deliberately lured her over in an attempt to attack her?

Who was it that sent her the message, and what was the intention of the other party?
Could it be that Dai Yong is really just eccentric, but has never done anything illegal, and the real murderer is actually someone else?
A shadow of a person flashed in his mind, Xue Ran's thoughts were a little confused for a while, and he knew that saving his life was the most important thing, now is not the time to think about these things,
"I'm... so sorry."

To be on the safe side, she lowered her head slightly, and before the other party came to stop her, she quickly raised her feet and walked towards the door.

Fortunately, there was no danger, Xue Ran's whole body was tense, and he was still a little scared at the moment,
She walked forward in a trance, and accidentally wiped off a black cloth used to cover something next to her, her already anxious heart suddenly fluctuated,
Then she bent down again in a daze to pick up the black cloth on the ground,

"excuse me, I……"

Before she finished speaking, she raised her eyes and saw that Dai Yong's expression changed when standing in front of her.
He stared at Xue with wide eyes, and there was a flash of astonishment in his eyes, so she looked back subconsciously,
Seeing a large glass jar exposed after the black cloth fell, Xue Ran was startled by the dazzling picture!
