Chapter 2 The Beginning of Death (1)

2012, April 11.

Outside the window, the brilliant fireworks illuminated the black sky from time to time, and the neon lights in the distance flashed unwillingly.The upcoming festival will add some warmth to Hongdu, a city that is currently in the cold.

I wiped my wet face with my hands, and the cold wind from the window made me shiver.

Holidays should be a time to be with family. . .

"Jiangnan! The show has started, come on!" Roommate Luo Shan's slightly excited voice came from outside.

"Well, I see." I came back to my senses, put on my glasses, and responded loudly.

Walking out of the toilet, I saw Luo Shan staring at the TV, and the opening show of the "Distinguishing Right From Wrong" program just happened to be displayed on the screen.

Seeing me coming out, Luo Shan said with a firm expression, "This is the final of the show, I'm sure I'll guess right before you."

I squeezed out a stiff smile, "If so, I'll wash your socks for you."

"It's a deal!" Luo Shan showed his proud white teeth.

Luo Shan may be my best friend since I entered Jiangxi No. 1 Police Academy. We have lived together for nearly four years from freshman to senior year.When he was in his sophomore year, Luo Shan began to like to watch the program "Distinguish Right from Wrong", in which the host recruits a few people, and these people report their occupations to the challengers, and then tell the results within [-] minute. host.Luo Shan often uses this to compare his guessing speed with me, but it's a pity that he loses more than he wins.

"It's started!" Luo Shan took out his phone and set the stopwatch.

At this time, three people appeared on the program to report their occupations respectively.

"My name is Hao Zheng. I am 31 years old. I am a high school Chinese teacher. I usually like to read famous novels and newspapers. My daily job is to teach students to learn Chinese. The working hours are from 08:30 to 45 pm every day. It’s [-]:[-], and I usually watch movies or play ball with friends on weekends.” After speaking, he seemed a little nervous, raised his hand, and adjusted his glasses.

"Hello everyone, host. My name is Wang Xiaohong. I am 21 years old. I am a college student majoring in finance. I like to go to KTV to sing with my classmates, I like to play badminton, and I also like to surf the Internet and play games. Weibo, I'm a very fashionable college student!" After she finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue and made a V shape with her other hand, looking very excited, and everyone was amused by her cute appearance.

The last one to speak was a young man with a ponytail on his head, which looked very special among the three.

"Hi everyone, my name is Wang Wei, and I am an abstract painter. I open a studio and sometimes sell paintings. In my free time, I like to travel and sketch."

After he finished speaking a few words, he stopped making a sound, and stood there quietly, with the air of an artist.

"Okay, all the guests have told you about their occupations just now, and now we are going to the questioning session!" The host instructed the two contestants, "Remember, each of you can only ask one question! Ladies first, female contestants first Just ask!"

"Okay!" The female contestant responded with a smile, and then she turned her attention to Hao Zheng, who claimed to be a middle school Chinese teacher.
"Hi! Teacher Hao, I happen to be very serious about studying in middle school. In high school, there was a very, very important piece of classical Chinese, which was basically passed in the college entrance examination. I was deeply impressed by it. It was Su Shi's "The Story of Shizhong Mountain" , What I want to ask is, is it stipulated in the textbook to recite the last paragraph or the full text?"

I looked at Luo Shan next to him, he was focused, and I looked at the stopwatch on the table, one minute and 28 seconds.

I leaned on the chair, and my thoughts couldn't help flying. I will graduate from school in one month. It's been four years. It's not long, but it's enough to change a person.In the past four years, I was a taciturn person at school, and rarely participated in group activities. I was almost obsessed with learning various professional knowledge, crime scene investigation, criminal psychology, and investigative principles...

"I figured it out! Two minutes and one second!
Luo Shan let out an exclamation of excitement, pulling me back from my complicated thoughts.At this time, the contestants on the screen were about to report their answers.

"That Hao Zheng's occupation is wrong! Su Shi's "The Story of Shizhong Mountain" was indeed something we learned when we were young, but this article was deleted from the Chinese textbook a few years ago, and it was only used as extracurricular reading, let alone memorization Yes. Girls are really careful!" Luo Shan pointed to Hao Zheng on the screen, and quickly finished speaking to me.

I shook my head: "You only got one third of the answers right."

Luo Shan asked with a look of doubt: "Why, you found other reasons?"

"It's not that I found other reasons." I paused, adjusted my glasses with my hands, and then continued, "It's that the occupations of these three people are all wrong, and they all told lies."

Luo Shan was full of surprise and said: "No way?? I feel that there is almost nothing wrong with the other two people."

I pointed to the screen with my finger, and the host just announced the answer: "The answer is that there is no answer! Yes, that's right, the occupations of these three people are different from what they said!"

Luo Shan's expression was the same as that of the contestants and audience on the screen, full of disbelief, but the truth is the truth, and there is no room for you to believe it or not.

Luo Shan quickly turned his head to me, opened his mouth and asked, "You—"

Suddenly, a quick knock on the door interrupted him, he muttered, but got up helplessly and went to open the door.

For some reason, my heart fluctuated with the rhythm of knocking on the door. In the past four years, people who came to our dormitory were basically looking for Luo Shan. Some knocks were gentle, and some were heavy, but I never heard such There is a knock on the door, who is it?Why is there such a rush to knock on the door?I seemed to see the anxiety and panic of the person who knocked on the door.

"Wait!" I said to Luo Shan out loud.

"I'll go."
