sneak peek

in the interrogation room.

The courier brother Zhang Liang was trembling with a dazed expression on his face. He was suddenly arrested by the police uncle while delivering the courier, and he even stuttered.

"Police, Comrade Police, I, I didn't do anything wrong. I, I, I just delivered a courier."

Huang Jiade squeezed the space between his eyebrows, "We know that you sent a courier to the bureau. This morning you brought a big courier, and the recipient was Meng Ning. Do you remember?"

"Remember, remember."

Mo Wang: "Do you know Meng Ning?"

"No, no, I don't know."

Huang Jiade opened Meng Ning's photo, "This guy, think it through before answering."

Zhang Liang shook his head, "Really, I really don't know him."

Huang Jiade: "Where did that courier come from?"

A guilty conscience flashed across Zhang Liang's eyes, "I deliver hundreds of couriers a day, which ones come from, I..."

Huang Jiade slapped the table violently, "It contained a dead body, don't tell me you didn't check it when you received the courier?"

Zhang Liang was frightened, and his face turned pale when he heard the word corpse, "Corpse, corpse? What corpse? I don't know anything, it really has nothing to do with me."

Mo Wang: "Then tell us honestly, where did the courier come from?"

Zhang Liang cried, "I was delivering a courier in the next street today, and a man blocked me, saying that his girlfriend works in the police station and wanted to send a surprise gift there, but the doorman recognized him. If he took it personally, he would My girlfriend found out and said that as long as I help pretend to be a normal courier delivery, I will give me 500 yuan. Just go this way, there will be 500 yuan, how many pieces do I send to get [-]? I agreed .I took a courier form for him to fill out, pasted it up and pretended it was delivered by ordinary courier.”

Huang Jiade: "What does that person look like? Where is he blocking you?"

Zhang Liang: "In his 20s, he was wearing a hat with the brim pulled down so low that I couldn't see his face clearly. He blocked me at the alley next to the Dabai Baozi shop on the next street."

Mo Wang: "Height? Body shape? Clothes? Is there anything special?"

Zhang Liang bit his nails and recalled, "Uh...about 1 meters, neither fat nor thin, wearing...it seems to be wearing a white T-shirt, I don't quite remember."

Mo Wang: "Last night at about 3 o'clock in the morning, where were you?"

Zhang Liang: "I sleep at home. I have three roommates, they can testify to me. This really has nothing to do with me!"

After the interrogation, they returned to the office, and Gu Yexi asked, "What?"

Huang Jiade shrugged, "As you expected, he was an errand runner. When the deceased died, the courier boy's roommate could confirm that he was sleeping at home."

Mo Wang: "Meng Ning, can you adjust the surveillance at the alley next to the Dabai Baozi shop on the next street this morning? Zhang Liang said that he met the murderer there."

Meng Ning searched for a while, "Good news, there is surveillance in that place; bad news, the murderer is standing in a place where the camera cannot capture, and only the courier boy can be seen on the screen."

Gu Yexi: "Did the courier brother see the murderer?"

Li Zi: "He said that the murderer was wearing a hat, so he couldn't see clearly."

Mo Wang: "Do you have any clues here?"

Meng Ning picked up a piece of paper full of names, "I wrote down the names of all possible and impossible people."

Mo Wang looked a little dizzy, why so many? ? ?

Meng Ning saw through his thoughts, and stared at Mo Wang with half-closed eyes: "My sister is cute and has a wide range of friends, do you have any objections?"

Mo Wang quickly squeezed out a smile, "No, no, not at all."

Gu Yexi poured a cup of coffee and took a few sips, "Let's screen it first? How many people are here in total? 38?"

Mo Wang: "The murderer is about 1 meters tall, and those who don't fit can be removed."

Meng Ning thought about everyone and crossed out about half of the names, "Emmmm, then there are 20 more."

Huang Jiade: "The courier guy said that the murderer looks to be in his 20s, so those over 30 can be removed, right?"

Meng Ning: "OK, then there are still 8 left."

Gu Yexi: "For these eight people, check the alibi one by one. Mocha and I are the first four, and Jiade Lizi is the last four. Meng Ning, you continue to pay attention to the missing persons."

However, after checking for a long time, these 8 people all have alibi, 3 of them are not in the local area on a business trip, 2 are working overtime at the company, 2 are playing in bars all night, and the remaining 1 is sleeping at home with their parents.

Gu Yexi rubbed his brows, "Ning, is there anyone you missed? Even if there is a possibility."

Meng Ning was also very depressed. She was sure that the murderer was one of the people she listed. "It's possible. I've listed them all. I really can't think of anyone else who is possible."

Mo Wang: "Is it possible that Meng Ning doesn't know the murderer, the murderer has only met her a few times, such as a coffee shop employee or something."

Huang Jiade: "But the murderer knows her name and where she works, and Meng Ning's personal number is written on the courier slip. It's not so easy to know if you meet anyone on the street? Meng Ning is not such a careless person. As far as I know, Meng Ning's private number is only known to relatives, right? Not even us."

Li Zi: "Personal information is so easy to expose now, the murderer really wants to know, it's not difficult to dig."

Meng Ning spread his hands, "If it's really a meeting, I really don't know who it is."

Gu Yexi shook his head slightly: "Who exactly knows your private number?"

Meng Ning: "Emmmm, family members, girlfriends, old classmates, blind date, probably these."

Li Zi asked with a questioning face, "Why do you give your private number to your blind date?"

Meng Ning covered her face, "Because my mother made the call, and she always left my private number, hey, don't mention it, sometimes I think she is too active, and she signed up for me two weeks earlier. It’s a huge blind date, I didn’t want to go because I slept late, so I gave the ticket to Miss Sweeping Porn next door. Hey, by the way, speaking of Sister Sweeping Porn, Xiao Momo, did you not add her WeChat?”

Mo Wang: "Uh, this, the internal organs and sutures of the corpse are handled badly, it seems that you are not a professional?"

Meng Ning narrowed her eyes, "Little Momo, your technique of changing the subject is not good."

Huang Jiade casually picked up a magazine and patted Meng Ning on the head, "Stop molesting little Momo."

Gu Yexi: "It really doesn't look like a professional, then what?"

Mo Wang just changed the subject and just found something to talk about. In fact, he didn't think of anything at all, and said a little awkwardly: "Uh, there is no more..."

Gu Yexi: It's really a bad technique of changing the subject.

Gu Yexi looked at the time, and it was already very late, "Ning, think about it again tonight, is there any suspect that you missed. Since the murderer is an egomaniac, he must have contacted him in some way. If you missed it, think about it again. If there are any suspicious people, we will investigate tomorrow. By the way, the murderer is after Meng Ning. Jia De, don’t go home tonight, go live at Meng Ning’s house .”

Meng Ning protested, "I don't need him to protect me. I'm just a policeman. I'm quick enough to hit ten!"

Gu Yexi smiled, "This is an order, just arrange it like this, the topic is over, everyone have a good rest tonight, and continue tomorrow."

When I got home, it was almost 12 o'clock after I finished washing, Gu Yexi scratched her buttocks, and collapsed on the bed without any sleepiness.According to his past habits, he would go to the next door to play with Teddy for a while.But at this moment, Gu Yexi was a little confused, whether to go or not.

Staying alone with Mo Wang recently, he always has some strange feelings.Well, it's not a strange feeling, it's just that I always think of the strange dreams I had before, and then I feel a little embarrassed for no reason.

Gu Yexi thought, should I go to tease the cat tonight?If you don't go, you can also find an excuse. It can be said that it is too late, or you are too tired, or you are not in the mood to think about the case.But if I don't go suddenly, will Little Curly think I'm a little weird?Do you think I have any opinion on him?Impossible, the little curly hair is so obedient, it doesn't seem like someone who would think so.

So in the end, should we go?

Otherwise, shall I go?

But I am so clinging to others every day, uh, no, it is a cat clinging to others, it seems not very good, maybe they have other arrangements in the middle of the night, if something strange happens, it will be bad, right? ?

However, if you don't look at Teddy, it's like being bitten by ants in your heart.It's as if there are some daily check-in tasks that have not been done. If you have played the game, you will know that unfinished daily tasks will make you very crazy.

While struggling, Gu Yexi tossed and turned on the bed. After 10 minutes of rolling, he finally decided to play with Teddy for a while and then go back to sleep.

He didn't bother to change clothes or anything, so he just slipped over in his pajamas.When Mo Wang opened the door, he was also wearing pajamas, and it seemed that he was going to sleep.Gu Yexi felt that she had disturbed others, and felt a little embarrassed, "Uh, are you going to sleep? Then I'm leaving."

Mo Wang grabbed him, "No, I just finished taking a shower."

"Meow~~" Teddy meowed happily when he smelled Gu Yexi's breath.

Gu Yexi hurried in and picked him up, rubbing his face a few times.Mo Wang whispered from behind: "If you don't come, it won't be able to sleep."

Gu Yexi teased Teddy for a while, and was about to leave. Just as he was about to say goodbye, Mo Wang said first: "I always feel that there is something strange about that case."

"Huh? What?"

"The flowers sent by the murderer happened to be flowers that Meng Ning didn't like. From this, it can be inferred that he didn't know Meng Ning very well, but he just stereotyped that girls should give this, right?" Mo Wang went to Gu Yexi The direction moved.

Gu Yexi nodded, "Well, yes, and then?"

"In this way, the murderer is an egomaniac. But at the same time, I can feel that he put a lot of thought into preparing this gift. The express box is stuffed with gift colored paper, which makes the whole gift more ritualistic. It was specially placed The sachet, I think he put the sachet not only to suppress the smell of the corpse, so as not to make people suspicious during the delivery process, but also to let Meng Ning have a better gift opening experience. And you are not Say, is the torso making a gift box related to aesthetics? The murderer made a gift box so carefully, but he didn't pay attention to the gift? Why didn't he check what flowers Meng Ning really liked? I think this is illogical .”

Gu Yexi was very happy in his heart. Good students are making more and more progress, "Well, yes, from this point of view, the corpse itself is more like a gift, and the flowers are just decoration."

"And that card, he wrote... How should I put it, it's very humble. What he said is, I hope the gift can give you a little joy, and the egomaniac will tacitly assume that Meng Ning must like this gift, right? It was written like this. He didn't mention himself in the whole paragraph, as if he had no extravagant hope that Meng Ning would like him or be with him. He just hoped to make her happy. Gifts to people he likes, Of course, you can be happy if you like the other party, but at the same time, you really hope that the other party will gradually like you. I feel that he likes Meng Ning very much. If this is the case, it will send flowers that Meng Ning hates, which is too illogical. gone?"

As soon as Gu Yexi discussed the case, he became excited, "There are indeed some contradictions. In some respects, the murderer is very arrogant, and in other respects he is very inferior. Maybe he has a very arrogant personality, but because of certain flaws, in Emotionally inferior."

"Disability? Appearance?"

Gu Yexi waved his hand, "Who knows, it doesn't have to be a physical defect, it may be a psychological defect. He feels that he is not good enough for Meng Ning in some way. He didn't want Meng Ning to accept him, but just wanted to force himself into her. The heart, I have moved myself."

Mo Wang frowned slightly, "I still think there is something wrong."

Gu Yexi scratched Mo Wang's hair involuntarily, "I can't figure it out for a while, but it's hard to figure it out if I just want to, maybe I'll think of it when I wake up. By the way, I found that you are a lot more careful and have your own ideas , I can also bring myself into the thinking of the murderer, which is very good.”

The corner of Mo Wang's mouth couldn't help but rise, "I can't hold back."

Gu Yexi stood up, "Good hard-working students, I have to encourage them to learn from you. I'm going back to sleep, you should go to bed early."

Mo Wang took out a bag from the cabinet in the entrance and handed it to Gu Yexi, "Here."

Gu Yexi knew it was another vinyl when he looked at it like that, "What's wrong, are you addicted to gift giving?"

"Didn't you buy a lot of toys and clothes for Teddy, this is Teddy's gift for you."

Gu Yexi suddenly remembered Mo Wang's remarks about giving gifts just now, and suddenly felt weird, but Mo Wang looked like an upright and good student, and seemed to have no other meaning.Gu Yexi hesitated for a moment before accepting the gift.

Back in her room, Gu Yexi took out the vinyl record from her bag, it was thecure's album: disintegration.

Gu Yexi bit her nails, thinking to herself, why is this little curly hair always being sent here and there recently? ? ? ?Could it be? ? ? ? ?

No no no, no.First of all, I already have an exact copy of this vinyl, and it is placed in a conspicuous place as a decoration. It is impossible for him to come here and not notice it?But he still sent me the same one, there are only two possibilities, one is that he forgot, and the other is that he didn't pay much attention when he came to me.

No matter which possibility it is, it shows that the little curly hair didn't put much thought into giving this gift, that is, the little curly hair didn't have any strange thoughts about me.

Well, it must be so.

That's it.

There is no other explanation.

Gu Yexi put the vinyl record on the coffee table and went to sleep.
