Brother, he can read minds

Ke Gu only felt that the cup in his hand sank, but Li Xiaoran immediately turned on the headset and notified everyone.

A sentence without beginning or end - "Don't touch alcohol."

Li Xiaoran's voice was very soft but Cris still heard it, he smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I said, I don't hate the police, nor do I hate you, I also noticed that your people probably didn't touch a drink .”

But Cris is a foreigner after all, he didn’t realize that Li Xiaoran’s words are wonderful, what Li Xiaoran said was not “don’t drink”, but “don’t touch alcohol”. Not drinking is a suggestion, but not touching is more like a prohibition.Of course there are people who have such language addiction to mix the two together, but Li Xiaoran does not.So everyone who received this instruction put down their wine glasses at the same time, and they realized that Li Xiaoran was sending a message——

There is a problem with wine.

"What on earth do you want to do?" Li Xiaoran looked at Cris, and Cris still had the same smile, as if it wasn't him who said those chilling words.

"I said, I have no malice towards you, and I have no intention of doing anything to you." Cris smiled and glanced at Nix, "If I want to do something to you, I can't let Xiaoqi meet you."

Nix's head was lowered, unable to see her expression, but through her clenched fist, Ke Gu seemed to be able to feel her restless heart.

Yes, Nix's heart is surging at the moment, she thought that the reason why she can do so many tricks is because Cris didn't know, but at the moment, it seems that the reason why she can do such things is because Cris doesn't object, let her do it.

This feeling is far more terrifying than knowing that someone is watching you.

You know that someone is monitoring you and you will be cautious in your words and deeds, but one day you suddenly realize that your past has been controlled by monitoring, and you will suddenly find that you are so close to destruction.

Nix tried her best to control her fear, but her gradually trembling body seemed unable to conceal her emotions. Murphy suddenly took off his suit, stepped forward and put it on Nix's shoulders: "Miss , it’s cold in the room, you should wear more clothes.”

Cris raised his eyebrows and said nothing.Because of the sudden warmth, Nix finally recovered from the cramped cold. She unconsciously grabbed the suit jacket, and after finding a momentary fulcrum, she gradually calmed down her breathing, and finally controlled her emotions.

Ke Gu looked in his eyes and gave a little approval. Maybe she really lost her temper just now, but for a person who has not received professional training, this is already very powerful. few minutes.

She raised her head again and there was no trace of haze in her eyes, only grievance and innocence: "But I also drank."

Cris laughed loudly: "How could I attack you? Only their wine is problematic."

Nix flattened his mouth: "If you entrust me with the task of rehabilitating the aftermath, you might as well do it to me. If you poison these people to death, what will happen to this castle?"

Cris thought for a while, then touched his chin: "It's better to seal the castle, maybe it will become a scenic spot in a few decades."

Nix almost didn't hold back: "What kind of attraction is this? It's obviously a haunted house."

"The haunted house is pretty good. Think about it, if there are homeless people passing by, if they can't restrain their curiosity, they go upstairs and see the corpses in the whole hall." Cris said happily, " Don't you think it's very interesting? Maybe you will run out crying."

Cris seemed to be extremely amused by his own imagination, just like a withered leaf still hanging on a dead tree in mid-winter, swaying violently in the wind.Even from Cris's thoughtful expression, he has already begun to seriously consider the feasibility of this matter. Li Xiaoran resisted the discomfort, and poured cold water on it coolly: "If you poison these people to death, needless to say, ten years later You don’t have to wait for tomorrow’s dawn, the subordinates of these people will kill you overnight, and your dream is destined not to come true.”

Cris was not angry, instead he taught like an old man: "Do you know what is the biggest difference between you and me?"

Li Xiaoran really wanted to say that there was an essential difference between the two of them in terms of mental state, but in the end he chose the one that would least irritate him: "You are smarter than me."

This is the truth. Li Xiaoran never minds admitting that others are smarter than him. Although he rarely compares his IQ with sin, there is no doubt that Cris has an extremely smart brain.Li Xiaoran asked himself, at least he couldn't know what his subordinates were doing in such a physical state.

A person who can control an organization must not only have a perverted heart, but also a smart brain, which Li Xiaoran admits.

Unexpectedly, Cris denied this. Even Nix was surprised. Cris, who has always claimed to be a smart person, was jealous and conceited. The strongest brain?"

The subject with the strongest brain nodded without humility at this moment.

Cris glanced at Ke Gu, and added: "But it is said that love affects IQ, what do you think?"

Ke Gu nodded: "If I can fall in love with my junior brother, I am willing to drop to a negative number."

Cris finally knew what it meant to be shameless and skinless, Nix didn't hold back, and couldn't help laughing, Li Xiaoran sighed, and was robbed of the limelight again, obviously the shameless skills belonged to him.

"Ahem." Cris cleared his throat, "Let's not digress, the difference between us is not who is smarter, the reason why I can and you can't is because you don't have creativity and imagination."

Li Xiaoran: "..." If it is creativity and imagination for crime, he would rather not have it.

"Actually, one of my subordinates is very imaginative, but he doesn't use it in a serious way." Cris was a little regretful, "Isn't there a relationship with Dr. Ke?" He pointed to Ke Gu.

Ke Gu was stunned for a moment, not many people related to him: "Joan King?"

"Hmm." Cris sighed and smiled, as if reminiscing, "Isn't that case without imagination? Crime is a work of art in his hands."

Li Xiaoran gasped, of course they knew that the case had something to do with Joan Jin, but the case they didn't even dare to recall turned into a work of art in Cris's mouth.

The room was actually not very cold, the sparks in the fireplace were crackling, but Li Xiaoran felt the hairs on his arms stand on end bit by bit.

Ke Gu stared at Cris without hesitation, and Nix also moved similarly to Ke Gu, except that her eyes were more strange and surprised.

Cris clapped his hands again: "That's right, you don't have the ambition yet. Crime requires ambition. You have to take it as your responsibility to do bad things, otherwise you will be in a state of perdition."

"Really?" Li Xiaoran frowned, as if he couldn't listen anymore, "Did you do it?"

"I don't think I did it?" Cris asked without answering, looking at Li Xiaoran with disapproving eyes.

"What is a bad thing? If a person takes doing bad things as his own responsibility, then there is nothing good about him." Li Xiaoran thought for a while, "Hey, let me use an analogy, if you take doing bad things as your own responsibility, Do you think it's good or bad for us to acquiesce in finding the murderer for the Tomahawk?"

"For Tomahawk, the way to do bad things is to keep them secret. If you don't tell them, if you don't take revenge, Yefim's status and prestige will definitely be shaken." Li Xiaoran analyzed, "But you acquiesce Let us find Yakov's murderer, and you taught them the murderer."

Cris didn't speak, just listened quietly.

Seeing that he was not interrupted, Li Xiaoran continued, "Let's look at Ada again. She is the murderer of Yakov. You said that if you did something bad, why didn't you hand her over to Tomahawk immediately? Handing her over to Tomahawk for a moment, at the moment when everyone's emotions are at their highest, she will definitely be treated inhumanly."

"You handed her over to Tomahawk in the end, but you tacitly allowed us to prevent her from dying." Li Xiaoran heard about this from Ke Gu and Su Yang, and tacitly erased Nix's involvement in this matter at the moment. Shadow, after all, no one knows whether Cris knows what the Knicks did.

"I can see Ada's state just now. Although she is under the control of the Tomahawk, she doesn't seem to be in such a bad situation." Li Xiaoran shook his finger, "Based on what I know about this kind of gang boss, there is only one thing that can make these jackals Leopards have a little compassion for the prey in their palms, and that is profit."

"Crack, crack, crack." Cris clapped his hands, "Your reasoning is wonderful, you see I'm right, I'm not much smarter than you." This is a compliment at first glance, but it was said by Cris , sounds a little creepy.

What was even more creepy was that he stopped talking after boasting, and just quietly looked at the purple gemstone embedded in the silver finger rest on his thumb.

"Delhi Purple Sapphire..." Ke Gu murmured, Cris looked up at him and smiled, "You have a good eye."

"I advise you not to keep staring."

Cris joked, "Why, you also believe in curses?"

Delhi purple sapphire is a gemstone produced in India. The owner of this gemstone has encountered disasters again and again. It is a very famous stone of spells.

Ke Gu shook his head: "I have no research on gems, and I don't believe in curses, but I know what awe is."

"You don't believe in curses, so what are you in awe of?"

"Rules, laws, the universe, nature..." Ke Gu shrugged, "I am in awe, since so many people have suffered misfortune because of this gem, there are always some things I don't know. Since I am not in this field Experts, why do you still want to go to Tiger Mountain? And the light refracted by gemstones is amazing, maybe it is a certain point that makes you influenced by him.”

"Then tell me, how did it affect me?"

Li Xiaoran felt his head hurt. He seemed to have returned to his student days, and what was in front of him was a test paper, and it was an open-book test with no answers. There may be no graduation certificate in an instant.

"I don't know what it's affecting you, but I know what you're doing."

Cris's smile faded a little: "Oh? Then tell me what I'm doing?"

"You're testing us."

As soon as Ke Gu's voice fell, Cris completely lost his smile. He actually looked better when he wasn't smiling than when he was smiling. He didn't have the nervousness when he laughed. At least it can be seen that he was a handsome and handsome guy when he was young.

Cris didn't speak, just stared at Ke Gu, and Ke Gu said calmly: "You have your own rules in your bones, no matter whether these rules are in line with legal ethics or not. And it is impossible for a person with rules to say 'in order to act. Take responsibility for bad things, otherwise there will be no redemption’, because there is no logic in this sentence.”

"Do you think I'm talking about logic?" Cris seemed to be listening to a joke, but he still didn't laugh, he was even a little angry, "Do you think I still care about logic with my current body?"

"Of course, and I also know that even if you are illogical, you can't do such a thing." Ke Gu seems to have found a good way to talk to Cris, constantly bringing up new topics, never fighting over one topic, because This person is too smart, if you fall into his topic, it will be truly doomed.

"Why?" Cris's eyebrows have also turned gray. Others can't see the vitality and health that 50 years old should have on his face. He is like an old man in his dying years, but when those gray eyebrows are raised, You can still see the aura of not being angry and self-imposing, but Ke Gu is not afraid. He was not afraid when he walked into this room.

To him, Cris is a book, the author is Cris, but Ke Gu is constantly guessing the content of the next page.If it’s a game, for Ke Gu it’s a checkpoint game, he can’t be afraid, he can’t be afraid, because he knows that people like Cris won’t show kindness just because you fear him, he’ll only fight you because you’re evenly matched You treat it differently.

From the time Cris started talking to them, Ke Gu discovered that Cris basically only had eye contact with Li Xiaoran throughout the whole process, and that Cris seemed to be deliberately ignoring him.This is unusual, Cris also ignores Zhou Cheng, but that kind of neglect is really neglect, but for himself, Ke Gu can feel the faint hostility that seems to be glancing at him from the corner of his eye, and the words inside and outside the words.But if you say you hate yourself, Ke Gu doesn’t think so. At least when referring to Ke Jianhai, Cris seems to agree with himself a little.

But what is the difference between him and Li Xiaoran, Ke Gu can only think of two points - Li Xiaoran is a pure policeman, but he is not, his major is in the field of criminal psychology, but Li Xiaoran is not.

This is Ke Gu's initial thought.Later, thinking of Cris making jokes about him and Knicks, coupled with Cris's inadvertent doting on Knicks, Ke Gu also thought of another reason--Cris is jealous.

Of course it's not a relationship between a man and a woman. Indeed, as Nix said, they are directly more like father and daughter or friends who have forgotten each other.

Cris was angry, but Ke Gu wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "You won't do such a thing because you oppose for the sake of opposition, bad for the sake of bad, and destroy for the sake of destruction. This is the most boring thing in the world. You He's an interesting person, so he won't do such a boring thing."

Cris' Adam's apple rolled in his throat, and the wrinkles on his neck opened and closed accordingly. He just let out an unintelligible sound from his throat, but his eyes glared at Ke Gu angrily.

"Why would someone who isn't funny choose to kill people on Christmas?" Ke Gu described Cris' past, "You were born on Christmas, and your name was also transformed from Christmas. You chose to let your father and Your stepmother killed each other, and many of your subsequent crimes, or crimes that are important to you, all chose to start on Christmas Eve."

"The media said you were a Christmas killer. They said that you might have been stimulated by the death of your father and stepmother, but I guess they were all wrong." Ke Gu said slowly, "You didn't kill people on Christmas, you You chose to kill people on Christmas Eve, right?"

At this moment, Cris has completely turned his gaze to Ke Gu, he stopped turning the purple sapphire, and stared at Ke Gu with a pair of eyes without any emotion.His pupils are light gray, and when he's not showing any emotion, you'll have the feeling of being stared at by a cold-blooded animal.

Li Xiaoran had already held his breath, but Zhou Cheng, who was sitting quietly by the side, held his hand. Zhou Cheng knew that he had nothing to do with him, but he insisted on coming just for the sake of the handshake.If he learned anything from the story of Uncle Shen and Li Xiaoran's father, it was to cherish the person in front of him.Zhou Cheng was terrified because of Li Xiaoran's profession, but he knew how much Li Xiaoran loved this profession, so as long as he didn't violate the rules, Zhou Cheng started to follow Li Xiaoran up and down the mountain and sea.

He thought that if that day was the end of their lives, at least they were there for each other.

Li Xiaoran clenched Zhou Cheng's hand with his backhand. He looked at the two people who were looking at each other, and knew that he didn't have to play this game anymore. Cris's target is Ke Gu, and his opponent is also him.

Cris was still silent, but his eyes were like a ruthless poisonous snake chasing Ke Gu, Ke Gu said again: "You hate Christmas Eve, because you were born on that day."

"Yeah—" Cris finally spoke, he drawled, "I hate my own birth, I hate this world."

"But you don't hate the world, you hate yourself even more."

Cris raised his finger and pointed to his eyes: "How did you feel when you first discovered that you could read other people's minds?"

Ke Gu was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Scared."

Cris looked Ke Gu up and down again, and finally showed a smile, if that could really be called a smile, because the corners of his mouth were only raised at a very small speed, compared with the big laugh before, it was not a smile, But Li Xiaoran felt that this smile was Cris' real smile, a smile from the heart.

"You're the first person I've ever met who would answer like that."

Ke Gu smiled and shook his head: "That's because you haven't discussed this issue with your junior brother."

Cris nodded: "But I don't want to chat with him." He suddenly lowered his voice, "You know what? If you came with him today, I won't see you."

"Why?" Ke Gu asked puzzled, "We met once in the ground before, didn't you chat with him then?"

"No, no, that's different." Cris waved his hand, "Forget it, you don't understand. Let's get down to business, it's because I'm afraid. The first time I read someone's mind, it was because that person hated me. To the point of self-mutilation."

Cris laughed at himself: "That person is my mother, my biological mother." He said slowly, "For a long time after my mother left us, my father didn't understand why my mother would do this, she was so He is virtuous and loves us so much. But I think he is stupid, that woman's expression of disliking us is all written on her face, but he doesn't know it. "

"At first I was afraid. I was afraid that I might be possessed by those banshees who could read people's hearts in fairy tales. I was afraid that I might have hallucinations. People's hearts are invisible, so how can I read them?" Come out?" Cris suddenly untied his neckline with his hands, and when the neckline was pulled down, everyone saw a scar that was already very light, but it could be seen that it was an old scar, "This is my It was created after my mother left, and at that time I was there because I read her mind and she left, or did she want to leave and I read her mind."

This is comparable to the relationship between the chicken and the egg, but Ke Gu could imagine that at that time, in Cris' mind, he would probably link the two things together and blame himself for his mother's departure. .

"Actually, I met her once later, and it was that encounter that I realized that I am not a sorcerer, but a feared ability." When Cris talked about the past, there was no emotion on his face, but only Only when the word "mother" is mentioned, fresh emotions will flash in his eyes, which are rich and vivid for his haggard body.

"Do you know what she said?" Cris paused, "She said, why do you think I left? It's not because of your useless dad, it's because of you, you made me feel disgusted with myself, you made me Feel horrible, feel sick, don’t look at me with that look! No one will dare to approach you in this life, you freak!” He sneered, as if the next words were ridiculous and absurd, “She said God made her Following her heart, it was God who made her abandon me, she said that I was God’s torment for her, and she was able to leave me because she had paid for her sins.”

The wrinkles on Cris's face seemed to be grabbed by a big hand, and they were all twisted together.The anger buried in little Cris's heart has been burning for more than forty years, and now it is burning to more people.

"Freaks shouldn't be born in this world, right? But I just want to live." Cris's voice fluctuated, as if all the emotions had been released and completely out of control, "I just wanted to live, I Killing people every Christmas Eve, I don’t even destroy the evidence on purpose, because I want to see, if there is a god in this world, will the god bring evil to my head? won't take me away."

"If the god she believes in doesn't exist at all." Cris's expression was mad and angry, "Then why can't I replace it?"
