endless tricks

The clouds floated under the moon, blocking the moonlight.Darkness enveloped a corner of the earth, and the villa was in this corner.A figure passed through the corridor in the dark night, and a small lamp was lit on the wall at the corner at the end of the corridor.

A shadow was projected onto the floor and the wall, stretched long by the light, appearing distorted and weird under the refraction of light and shadow.The shadow stood still, and after a while, it lengthened, shrunk, and moved backwards. It was obvious that someone was walking forward.

After a while, a figure blocked the light behind him.

A white lace nightdress, long hair hanging loose, slender and beautiful hands hanging by the side, with bright red nail polish on the fingers.Her head was hanging on one side, as if her neck had been broken.

After a while, the neck moved slowly and the head lifted.The sounds of 'click' and 'click' can be heard in the empty and quiet corridor, which is the sound of collision due to blunt bones when the neck is turned, which makes people's scalp numb.

She raised her head and took a few steps forward.The light behind her poured out, revealing her face—it was Su Qingcan.

It's just that Su Qingcan in front of him has a numb expression and dull eyes, walking back and forth along the long corridor without realizing it.She was barefoot, walking on the carpeted corridor like a ghost, making no sound at all.

Halfway through, she raised her hand, her red sharp nails pressed against the wall, and slashed forward vigorously.The nails left deep marks on the hard wall, and made a screeching sound, like the wall screaming.

The sound of chalk being scraped across the blackboard, the sound of the shovel being swiped back and forth on the iron pan... any sound that is so sharp that it makes people feel extremely uncomfortable to hear, and the sound of vomiting is continuous in the silent corridor.

Su Qingcan walked around a few times and suddenly stopped, turning her head to stare at the door in front of her.He turned around and leaned against the door, looking inside with his eyes against the small cat's eyes, looking extraordinarily nervous.

In the narrow hole the size of a glass ball, a magnified eyeball flips up and down, left and right, at an extremely fast speed.It turned up suddenly so that only the white of the eye was left in the whole eye, and suddenly fell down, staring straight at the white wall of the room.For a long time, he turned to the left, staring at the only big bed.Two raised figures on the bed, sleeping two people.

Su Qingcan's pale arm moved up slowly, and suddenly grabbed the doorknob, shaking it up and down vigorously, but found that it couldn't be opened no matter what.Her snort became heavy, she looked extremely angry, and she shook the doorknob roughly.

The people in the room seemed to hear the movement, and the two people in the bed turned over.

Yang Yuanyi murmured: "Is there... someone?"

He didn't know that he rolled into Wei Yanqing's arms while he was sleeping. There were two people on one quilt and one on the other, their bodies intertwined, as intimate as a husband and wife.

Wei Yanqing woke up early, opened her eyes and only stared at Yang Yuanyi's sleeping face.Seeing that he might be woken up, he covered his ears and whispered: "No one. It's only early morning, go on sleeping."

Yang Yuan rubbed his cheek against the pillow, answered in a daze and continued to sleep.Seeing that he had fallen asleep, Wei Yanqing smiled silently, fingered the pierced earrings hanging on his ears twice, and suddenly turned her head to look at the cat's eye on the door that was completely hidden in the darkness.

The silent horror is like the momentum of the waves smashing the mountains and breaking through the clouds, turning into a sharp arrow and shooting at the narrow cat's eye accurately.The thing peeking through the cat's eyes froze for an instant and didn't dare to move, panic flashed in the eyes, as if there was a delicate voice screaming, and quickly hid.

Su Qingcan's hand suddenly let go of the doorknob as if scalded by boiling water, shrunk his shoulders and stepped back, walking back along the way he came from.The light elongated her shadow, and a huge round black shadow like the mouth of a bowl suddenly appeared on the head of the shadow. If you look closely, it looks like the shadow of a flower.

The corolla part suddenly split from it, forming a shape similar to the sharp teeth of a shark, biting off Shadow's head with one bite.After a while, he let go and got into his head. As Su Qingcan walked away, the shadow disappeared.

Wei Yanqing lowered her eyes, let go of Yang Yuan's ear, and fiddled with the earring twice.He lay back down again, took Yang Yuan back into his arms, and fell asleep with his limbs intertwined.

When he woke up the next day, Yang Yuanyi found that the seat next to him was empty. He turned his head and saw that Wei Yanqing was not there.Looking up at the window, it was almost seven o'clock, but the sky was still a little dark.

The weather has not been very good these two days, although it did not rain but the sun did not come out.

Yang Yuan turned over and pulled the quilt to cover his head, he didn't want to get up.

After Wei Yanqing finished washing, she rolled up her sleeves to her elbows as she walked out of the bathroom, and asked, "Can't you pay me back?"

Yang Yuan jumped up suddenly, like a carp.Seeing that it was Wei Yanqing, he was stunned for a moment, lowered his shoulders and raked his hair: "President, good morning."

"Morning." Wei Yanqing smiled.

Yang Yuanyi yawned and went into the bathroom to freshen up, while Wei Yanqing was watching from the sidelines, even leaning against the door of the bathroom to take the opportunity to chat and stare intently.

He hasn't seen Yuan Yuan getting up early for a long time, goodbye, she is really cute.

Yang Yuan finally woke up after brushing his teeth, washing his face and combing his messy hair.He took a deep breath, straightened his expression and turned to Wei Yanqing and said, "President, let's go downstairs."

"En." Wei Yanqing narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that the scene in front of him was like a husband and wife in a tens of thousands of families getting along, ordinary but very warm.It would be nice to have a good morning kiss or a little further communication.

Yang Yuanyi suddenly felt a little itchy on his back, subconsciously turned his head to look at Wei Yanqing.The latter bowed his head sideways, as if he noticed that he was looking at him, so he turned his head and asked softly, "What?"

Yang Yuan shook his head: "It's nothing." It seemed that he was stared at by a hot gaze just now... It should be an illusion.

The two went out of the room together, and when they got downstairs, they found that there were people who got up earlier than them.This person was Su Qingcan's assistant, Ke Ke. Ke Ke took off her glasses, wiped them, put them back on her face, and smiled at the two of them, "Good morning, do you want breakfast?"

The dining table was full of hearty breakfasts, obviously Keke got up early in the morning to go outside to buy them, and they were still steaming.As soon as Yang Yuan sat down at the dining table, he picked up the meat bun and thanked Ke Ke: "Did you get up early in the morning?"

Keke smiled shyly: "Because Sister Su has an announcement today, she will get up early. I usually buy breakfast when she wakes up, but today I think you are still here, so I bought more."

Yang Yuanyi smiled: "Thank you."

Ke Ke quickly waved her hand: "No, no, no... Uh, I'll go upstairs and call Sister Su. You guys eat first."

She hurriedly glanced over Wei Yanqing, as if she was a little afraid of him, but many people dare not look directly at Wei Yanqing, it's not surprising.When she was going upstairs, she met Wang Xiaohong and Zhou Lingxi who were also up, and they greeted each other and then moved away.

Zhou Lingxi, who had reached the last step of the stairs, suddenly turned around and looked up at Keke's back, then sat down at the dining table, picked up a plain bun, bit into it, and asked everyone, "Do you smell blood?"

Wang Xiaohong pulled out his chair and sat down, saying, "Where is the smell of blood coming from? It's all the smell of breakfast."

Yang Yuan broke the meat bun into two halves, held it in his hand, and asked, "What bloody smell?"

Zhou Lingxi shrugged his nose and sniffed it a few times, then frowned and said, "No? I am more sensitive to the smell of blood. I can smell even a drop of blood. The smell of blood is very light, as if brought in from outside. of."

Wang Xiaohong: "Could it be Su Qingcan's assistant? She went to buy breakfast early in the morning. Could it be that she bumped into something outside with some blood on it—Zhou Lingxi, since you are more sensitive to the smell of blood, can you smell it?" Did it come out with human blood or the blood of other animals?"

Zhou Lingxi: "If it was animal blood, would I tell it?"

Yang Yuan turned his head and glanced out the window, the sky was still very dark and the ground was a little wet.He asked, "Did it rain last night?"

Both Wang Xiaohong and Zhou Lingxi said they didn't know, they were sound asleep.Wei Yanqing put down the glass and said, "It rained lightly at four or five o'clock in the morning."

Yang Yuanyi: "Oh."

At this time, Su Qingcan and Keke appeared in the restaurant together and greeted each other.With sleepy eyes, Su Qingcan picked up a glass of squeezed fresh fruit juice and took a big gulp, then raised her hand to hold the back of her head, grinning: "My head hurts."

From Yang Yuanyi's perspective, Su Qingcan was standing sideways, right at the place where the wall and the glass door meet.It happened to be able to see Su Qingcan's back, a black dahlia the size of a bowl was attached to the back of her head.

Yang Yuan lowered his eyes, and could vaguely hear the sound of 'Zi Liu', as if someone was using a straw to suck food.He also noticed that Ke Ke had changed her clothes, so he asked her, "Did you encounter anything special when you went out this morning?"

"Ah? Something special?" Ke Ke thought for a while, and said, "I don't know if it counts... I drove Sister Su's car to buy breakfast, including the things I need for today's trip. When I came back, I saw a yellow warning line , many people surrounded and blocked the road. Fortunately, it was early and there were no people, so I went back in a short time by changing the road.”

Yang Yuanyi: "What happened?"

Ke Ke couldn't care less: "I don't know. It must have been a car accident, after all, it was at an intersection."

Probably because of this, the smell of blood became tainted. When entering the room, the smell faded, but Zhou Lingxi could still smell it.

Wang Xiaohong was quite surprised: "Can you really smell the difference?"

Zhou Lingxi: "Nonsense."

Wang Xiaohong asked softly, "What are you?"

Zhou Lingxi glanced at Wang Xiaohong's bald head, sneered twice, and continued eating. "I know what you are. As for what I am, don't worry about it."

Wang Xiaohong felt resentful.

After drinking the fruit juice, Su Qingcan ate a bunch of vitamins, and finally cheered up and said, "Ke Ke, are everything ready? We can get ready to go."

Yang Yuanyi was quite surprised: "You don't eat?"

Su Qingcan: "It's over."

A glass of fruit juice and a bunch of vitamin pills?

Yang Yuanyi was surprised. In just half an hour, he had already finished one serving of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, two meat buns and two vegetarian buns, plus a palm-sized steamed bun.Only then did she barely feel full, compared to Su Qingcan, it was as if she hadn't eaten.

Zhou Lingxi didn't raise her head: "All actresses are like this."

Keke got up quickly, ran upstairs with the meat bag in one hand, and said as she ran, "I'm going up to get things right now."

But after a while, she picked up a bunch of big and small bags, all of which belonged to Su Qingcan.Then he was going to the parking lot at the door, and the other four naturally followed.

Yang Yuanyi and Wang Xiaohong helped Ke Ke carry a few bags of luggage into the carriage, and then got on the train.Originally Ke Ke was driving, but Zhou Lingxi also knew the way, so she volunteered to drive.

Wei Yanqing unscrewed the cap of the juice bottle and handed it to Yang Yuanyi.The latter thanked him and took a big sip.Su Qingcan glanced at the two of them, said nothing wisely, and put on her sunglasses.Wang Xiaohong has long been used to it, so he discussed the secrets of hair growth with people in the group chat.

As soon as Zhou Lingxi turned the corner, Keke sensed something was wrong, so she said, "This is the road where the accident happened this morning. It's blocked and I can't walk through it."

Zhou Lingxi: "Many people take this road frequently, so it should be cleared."

Yang Yuan put the cap on the bottle and whispered, "Zhou Lingxi suspects Ke Ke?"

Wei Yanqing: "He is doubting the bloody smell he smells."

Yang Yuan was puzzled: "Huh?"

Wei Yanqing: "The strange news is very sensitive to the emotion of fear, which means that they can easily detect the fear. The stronger the strange news, the more they can detect the emotion of fear."

Yang Yuanyi: "So Zhou Lingxi sensed fear from the smell of blood?"

Wei Yanqing: "Yes." After a pause, he continued: "His innate characteristic of strange news."

Yang Yuanyi knew that Wei Yanqing was referring to the sensitivity to the smell of blood. Keke had an accident and was contaminated with the smell of blood without going forward to check.After running all the way, the smell of blood almost dissipated, and in addition to the light rain in the early morning, the smell of mud was heavier.

Under various special circumstances, you can still smell the smell of blood. I have to sigh that Zhou Lingxi's keen sense of smell is like a shark on land.

This is the talent characteristic of Zhou Lingxi's strange news.

From the smell of blood, the fear that is lighter than the smell of blood shows that Zhou Lingxi is a very powerful strange smell, at least a big strange smell above level [-].

Yang Yuan rested his right palm on his cheek, and said softly and expressionlessly, "At least the big anecdote above level 2 is helpless for level [-] anecdotes. Does it make sense?"

Wei Yanqing paused, then clapped his hands and smiled.Everyone in the car looked over curiously, but seeing the friendly atmosphere between the two, they all thought they were talking about Xingzhi.So I continued to work on my own business, not too curious.

Yang Yuanyi: "What are you laughing at?"

Wei Yanqing: "Happy."

Yang Yuanyi didn't ask him what he was happy about, probably it would lead to the topic of not playing anymore.He's not interested in these things, so he doesn't want to know.

Wei Yanqing said: "You're right, it can't be justified at all. But if rumors exist in human society, they have to abide by the rules. They don't have privileges. Generally speaking, they can't intervene in cases related to crimes and rumors."

Due to the management and restraint of strange news, if the strange news wants to survive in human society, it must abide by the rules set by human beings.If the murderous rumor has already committed a murder, it is a violation of the rules, and it is the most serious situation.

Other anecdotes cannot access, or even retaliate against, offending anecdotes—unless they have special privileges.It's just that the murderous rumors have always been solitary, and other rumors living in human society will not provoke these murderous rumors, so this rule is almost forgotten.

Zhou Lingxi has no privileges, and he could not have intervened in the 'Black Dahlia' anecdotal crime case.At the beginning, she did not know when she took Sun Qingqing's commission, but now she is playing tricks when she accepts Su Qingcan's commission.

Wei Yanqing: "Monster has the privilege to deal with strange news."

Yang Yuanyi suddenly realized: "I knew I shouldn't have agreed to his conditions yesterday."

Zhou Lingxi pretended to be confident. In fact, even if the reasoning agency did not agree to his conditions, it would not be his turn to take over the case this time.This man is as cunning as a fox.

Wei Yanqing: "Monsters are not the only rumors with privileges."

In other words, there are still people competing with them.At least Zhou Lingxi grabbed this order, so it seems that he has a bit of conscience.

Yang Yuanyi stopped commenting on this matter and Zhou Lingxi, and looked out of the car window and found that there was a lot of traffic in front of him.The traffic flow was clearing up, but after a while, a road was quickly cleared, and a yellow warning line was seen after passing a crossroad.

A few police cars were parked, many people were surrounded, and there were whispers of discussions. People who didn't know thought what a serious traffic accident had happened.

As soon as Yang Yuan stared at the warning line, his right eyelid twitched, he hesitated and raised his hand to hold the eyelid.Looking at Wei Yanqing, the latter's eyes staring out of the car window are dim and unclear.Looking at Wang Xiaohong and Zhou Lingxi again, they both also frowned, with rather dignified expressions.

As the car drove past, Yang Yuanyi suddenly said, "Why don't you get out of the car and inquire?"

Before the rest of them could speak, Su Qingcan said impatiently: "What are you asking for? Why did you get off the bus? Hurry up and go to the show, you're going to be late! It's a waste of time to take this congested road. "

No one in the car paid any attention to her, Wang Xiaohong said, "I'll get out of the car to inquire, you guys go first. I'll take a taxi when I hear the news."

Zhou Lingxi: "OK."

After speaking, he parked the car on the side of the road, and Wang Xiaohong opened the car door and got out.Yang Yuanben also wanted to get out of the car, but Wei Yanqing held him down: "Inquiring about news and collecting information has always been Wang Xiaohong's strength, so you don't have to follow."

After Yang Yuan thought about it, he sat back down and sat down. When he looked up, he saw Su Qingcan's reflection on the car window.The black dahlia crawled out, circled around Su Qingcan's neck several times, bit her throat and got in, like a flexible snake, piercing in with a slam.

Su Qingcan suddenly coughed violently, holding her throat in an extremely uncomfortable manner.Keke hurriedly opened the thermos bottle filled with rock sugar Sydney and handed it to her, and then took some throat lozenges.

Yang Yuan remained calm, and didn't even move his eyebrows.The other two were silent one by one, until the destination, without saying a word.

After getting out of the car, Su Qingcan and Keke hurried in, making a hectic preparation first, and finally went in to record this talk show.Yang Yuanyi and the others stayed in the background, listening to Keke introduce the others.

"The host who is currently interviewing Sister Su is also the host who interviewed Sun Qingqing before. He speaks very meanly. It is unethical to pick people's scars and poke ratings. I heard that before Sun Qingqing had a car accident, it was because the host was aggressive that she The answer was wrong. Later, it was distorted and reported, causing Sun Qingqing to be distracted while driving and have a car accident. Someone also photographed him appearing at the scene of Sun Qingqing's car accident."

Just as he was listening, Yang Yuanyi's cell phone rang suddenly, and when he took it out, it was Wang Xiaohong.After he connected, he told Wang Xiaohong the location, and then several people left the backstage to meet him.

Keke had to stay in the background to wait for Su Qingcan, so she didn't follow.

Wang Xiaohong said energetically, "I found something. What happened at the intersection just now was not a car accident, but a homicide."

Yang Yuanyi: "Murder?"

"Yes. Did you notice a lawn at the corner of the intersection? The body was thrown in there, cut in two from the abdomen, the internal organs were gutted, the blood was drained and cleaned. The method was cruel , not artificial."

The modus operandi is very familiar. Yang Yuanyi remembered that Xia Lanlan mentioned a similar modus operandi in the 'Black Dahlia' murder case.

As if thinking of something, Zhou Lingxi took out her mobile phone and searched for a while, then put it on the table: "Look, these are a few homicides that happened last year. There were rumors on the Internet but they were all suppressed. I'm dragging these things down. It was only preserved. When Sun Qingqing was on fire last year, there were several brutal murders, and the victims were all actresses outside the 38th line of the film and television city."

Wang Xiaohong: "I found out that the victim this time was also an actress outside the 38th line, and she didn't even show her face in front of the camera."

Yang Yuanyi: "That's related to another setting of 'Black Dahlia', 'The Murderer'."

Wei Yanqing flicked through the photos one by one, and looked through all the photos indifferently.Immediately asked Wang Xiaohong: "Do you have any photos of the scene?"

Wang Xiaohong was stunned for two seconds, and immediately said: "Yes." He took out his mobile phone and released the photos and said, "I asked others for these photos after walking around. It's the murder scene, and the body hasn't been disposed of yet. .”

Yang Yuan leaned his head over to look at it, but Wei Yanqing blocked his sight: "Don't look."

Although the other photos were taken at the scene of the murder, without exception, there were no dead bodies in the shot.Yang Yuanyi paused for a moment, then sat back in his chair.

Zhou Lingxi's eyes flicked back and forth between the two, gradually becoming meaningful.

Wei Yanqing returned the phone to Wang Xiaohong after seeing the photos, and said, "There is a person in every murder scene."

"Who?"

"In Su Qingcan's talk show, the host."

Yang Yuanyi: "His name seems to be Yao Cheng."

Immediately searching Yao Cheng's relevant information, he found that he was very poor in the past.At first, I was the host of a small TV station, in charge of a program with no ratings, and I had to act as a reporter myself.Later, when the show was killed, I became a small reporter, taking some pictures of the life of the little stars.

By chance three years ago, he took a photo of a big star cheating, which made headlines.Later, in the interview, because of the tricky angle of the question and the aggressiveness of grasping the loopholes, the star made a mistake and broke the news.So far, the career has been smooth and promoted step by step.

"The career is going well, but it's also very weird." Yang Yuanyi commented: "But the popularity is not good, and everyone in the circle scolds him. Although he is scolded, he is getting more and more popular. As a host, he is more popular than some first-line stars. It's all going to be on fire."

Zhou Lingxi's face was solemn: "He, it has been rumored in the circle that his family has several Gumantong. So far, Zhou's Ghost Office has never had contact with him, and has never suspected him. Because this person, as long as he is Wherever there is big news, it will be there."

The author has something to say:

"In Su Qingcan's talk show, the host."

This is how it was originally written,

"Su Qingcan is the host of the talk show."

But think about it, it is too easy to cause misunderstanding, so I changed it.
