i must be in hell

Chapter 3 Midnight Ghost

Yesterday, no, the person I met in the early morning of this morning was told that he was dead, and someone pointed to your nose and said that you were the murderer.

How would the average person react to this situation?

Ning Xiao didn't know, his only reaction now was one sentence.

"evidence."

He said: "Prove that I am the murderer, show the evidence."

As an ordinary person, he never imagined that one day he would be in the interrogation room surrounded by a group of criminal policemen for interrogation.

This is completely different from writing a novel.When writing novels, he was a high god, leading the development of the plot, but now the god has fallen into the mortal world and is shackled by people.Ning Xiao never thought that after writing so many detective novels, the first time he got involved with a criminal policeman in reality was because he was suspected of being a murderer.

It doesn't taste good.

Xu Shangyu nodded, "Of course I know you didn't kill someone."

He smiled, "You are only suspected of murder, Ning Xiao."

The smiling criminal policeman in front of him is obviously not easy to provoke, which is even more troublesome. Ning Xiao would rather meet an incompetent policeman than meet such a cunning old man.Being targeted by this kind of person, unless the suspicion is completely cleared, don't think about freedom.

"I want to know why you doubt me?" Ning Xiao repeated, trying to clarify what he meant.

Xu Shangyu observed him and felt that this person was interesting.

"I heard that you don't plan to hire a lawyer. Why?"

"No money, it's annoying." Ning Xiao said angrily, "But I've changed my mind now, please help me appoint legal aid, I don't want to die in prison for the rest of my life."

"Don't you think you didn't kill someone?"

"Yes, but I said that I didn't kill anyone, do you believe me?" Ning Xiao rolled his eyes, "And I did meet him last night, in your opinion, the suspicion is even greater."

"Where did you see the dead last night?"

"He robbed, I passed by."

"and then?"

"He failed in the robbery, so I went home and slept."

"What happened in the middle?"

Ning Xiao was silent for a while, and then he said reluctantly: "I taught him a lesson." Originally, he just planned to scare the brat, but he didn't expect such things to happen later.

Xu Shangyu could tell that this person was telling the truth, but he was a little surprised by the last sentence of the other party's confession.In fact, the roadside surveillance had already recorded Ning Xiao's actions. The reason why he asked again now was just a test.

Obviously, the guy in front of him was honest.This kind of honesty made Xu Shangyu make a decision, a decision that surprised even himself.

"hooligan."

"exist."

"Go get the video."

Lu Fei was surprised, "But captain, this is against the rules."

"If you don't tell me, who will know? Go get it."

Seeing that the captain seemed determined, Lu Fei had no choice but to obey.Xu Shangyu turned his head again and grinned at Ning Xiao.

"Don't you want evidence? Show it to you."

Five minutes later, four people in the interrogation room squatted in the room watching the surveillance.

"This is the monitoring from one to two in the morning today."

Lu Fei pointed to the screen, "On it, you can see that the deceased has been hiding in the shadows, with unknown intentions."

"He intends to rob." Ning Xiao said.

Lu Fei ignored him and continued watching the video.

"Then around [-]am, the suspect passed by and had contact with the deceased."

"There was contact, he robbed me, I resisted, and had a friendly exchange by the way."

Lu Fei couldn't take it anymore. "Friendly communication!?"

He pointed to the violent scene on the video, "Is there such a communication where you press a person to the ground and hold a knife to a person's neck?"

"Otherwise? What do you expect me to say to a robber, to persuade him to be kind?" Ning Xiao changed his posture with a cold expression. "Do I know him well?"

"you--!"

"A Fei." Xu Shangyu interrupted them in time, "Continue watching the video."

At [-]:[-], Ning Xiao left the surveillance range of the video, leaving the young man lying on the ground motionless, if it wasn't for the occasional twitch, it would almost make people think he was already a corpse.

He was crying, Ning Xiao knew it.He heard the boy's cry last night, loud and sad.

"After 10 minutes, the deceased left the range of the NO.13 monitor." Lu Fei explained from the side, while Ning Xiao watched intently. When he left, the boy was clearly intact, but this morning he turned into a cold corpse.If anything is wrong, it must have happened after this.

He saw on the surveillance video that the kid seemed to have wiped away his tears and stood up. He walked under the streetlight and stood alone for a while.In the dark night, only the area illuminated by street lamps is bright.This makes the whole picture look like a person is slowly swallowed by darkness, shuddering.

"After we left this monitoring area, we never monitored him again. At five o'clock this morning, the cleaners found his body at a street corner 20 meters away, with a dagger stuck in his back." Lu Fei glanced at Ning Xiao glance. "It was dead when it was found, and the estimated time of death was two o'clock in the morning."

"So you think I went back and killed him."

Ning Xiao stared at the monitor for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"What a perfect script! The evidence is complete, a murder weapon with my fingerprints, the only suspect, a motive, and a matching time. All of this is simply shouting: I am the murderer! Except me and others Who else could it be!"

He smiled until his eyes were narrowed into slits, with a strange arrogance on his face, looking at the three detectives around him, he said provocatively: "So you all think so, I'll kill him."

Lu Fei and Zhao Yun's expressions were self-evident, and their thoughts were undisguised, just as Ning Xiao thought.Only Xu Shangyu couldn't figure out what was going on in his mind, he looked at Ning Xiao calmly and waited for him to finish laughing before opening his mouth.

"What do you think?" Xu Shangyu said, "If you want to prove that you are not the murderer, you can make an excuse."

"...I got home at [-]:[-] in the morning. I have been working since then, and I didn't rest until five o'clock."

"Are there witnesses?"

Ning Xiao shook his head, "I live alone."

"Can anyone prove that you were home at that time?"

"No."

He hates being interrupted when he is working, he does not log in to any communication software, and he also turns off his mobile phone, so that even the editor can't find him.And all of this has now become an obstacle to prove Ning Xiao's innocence.

He had no proof of his alibi.

"Oh, that's such a coincidence." Lu Fei mocked, "Without an alibi, our poor innocents will face charges."

"A Fei!" Xu Shangyu stopped him, and Lu Fei snorted sullenly. Obviously, he was always dissatisfied with Ning Xiao's arrogant attitude.

Xu Shangyu looked at his team members helplessly. As a criminal policeman, it is taboo to be influenced by emotions, and this kid is always impulsive.

"It's a coincidence." Ning Xiao was not angry, "There are my fingerprints on the dagger, and it happened that he also provoked me, and I can't prove my innocence. If this is a novel, then there are only two possibilities."

"What's possible?" Xu Shangyu looked at him with interest and asked.

"One, I was wronged, and there is another person behind it."

"anything else?"

"Anything else?" Ning Xiao raised the corner of his mouth, as if he was talking about other people's affairs lightly. "Another possibility is that I am really the murderer, and now I am just making excuses to confuse you."

He raised his eyes, his dark eyes fixed on the person in front of him.

"So, Mr. Policeman, which one do you think it is?"

Ning Xiao's eyes were dark black, even the kernels of the eyes were black.In this way, when he looks at a person intently, it seems that even the soul of the person will be attracted.

Xu Shangyu was stunned for a moment unconsciously, and then twitched the corners of his mouth in self-deprecating manner.

"My name is not Mr. Police, my surname is Xu." He smiled and stretched out his hand to the suspect opposite.

"Xu Shangyu, captain of the Criminal Police Squadron, the person in charge of investigating your suspected case."

Ning Xiao stared at him for a while before reaching out his hand.

"Ning Xiao, vagrant, you investigate the murder suspect in the case."

Xu Shangyu held his outstretched hand, unexpectedly feeling it was easy to touch, even the calluses on the fingertips of the other party seemed to leave some tender feeling on his palm.Like a ghost, he added another sentence.

"27 years old, unmarried, in good health, male with sexual orientation, no bad habits."

After saying this, let alone Lu Fei and Zhao Yun, even Ning Xiao was stunned.What is this dark-faced criminal police captain doing?Show love?make friends?Blind date?Where did he think this was?

Seeing Ning Xiao's rarely stunned face, Xu Shangyu smiled even more happily, revealing a shallow dimple on his right cheek.

"May I invite you on a date after you clear the suspicion?"

Ning Xiao finally came to his senses, he looked at Xu Shangyu as if he was looking at the second idiot in the world - the first was himself.

"You want to fuck me?"

"Correction, is to pursue you."

"You are a detective, and I am a murder suspect."

"What's the problem?" Xu Shangyu looked innocent, "Don't worry, I won't abolish the public for personal reasons, and I will start to act after you clear the suspicion."

Hahaha!Ning Xiao really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh forever, who cares about being chased by you, who cares about you deposing the public for personal reasons!Are you teasing me, or provoking me?

He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, met Xu Shangyu's handsome face, and suddenly smiled heartily.

"Okay." Ning Xiao raised his eyebrows lightly, and said softly, "If you have the guts, try it."

Xu Shangyu squinted at him.

"Has anyone ever told you that you have an attractive smile?"

Hook your sister!Ning Xiao almost slapped the policeman with the empty lunch box, but he still held back.

"Yes, you are the first."

"my pleasure."

The two stopped talking, just looked at each other, and there seemed to be a fire current overflowing between the eye contact.It's just that one side is full of interest, while the other side is annoyed and wanton.

"I, who will tell me that this is all a dream, I must be hallucinating." Lu Fei's fragile nerves almost couldn't bear the blow.

Our captain confessed to the murder suspect?

Our captain flirting with the suspect in the interrogation room?

Our captain likes men?

What is wrong with this world? It feels like he has suddenly gone from reasoning and suspense to youthful romance. Did he enter the wrong channel?Lu Fei muttered to himself, feeling that his weak heart had been hit hard.

"Your captain has been abnormal all along, and you just found out?" A gloating voice broke the silence in the room.

Everyone turned their heads in unison, looking at the fifth person who suddenly appeared in the room.

At the door, a man with glasses in a white coat pushed his glasses and smiled at everyone, showing his white teeth.

"I'm sorry to disturb your flirting, Captain Xu. But I have something to report to you, do you want to listen?"

"what's up?"

"The autopsy report is out." The man in white dragged his tone, his eyes swept over Ning Xiao. "Ding Yiyan."

"Who?" Ning Xiao frowned.

"Ding Yiyan." The man in white smiled at him. "It's the boy you suspect was killed by you."

Ding, one, words.

Ning Xiao cast his eyes on the photos on the table, in one of them, the boy was wearing a white T-shirt, grinning and full of vigor.

Until this moment, Ning Xiao had a real feeling.The person who died was not a character in the book, not a random character drawn, but a boy with flesh and blood and a name.

His name is Ding Yiyan, and he is still young.he died.

Ning Xiao was silent for a long time.

"I want to see him."

"Who?" Xu Shangyu asked.

"Ding Yiyan." Ning Xiao replied.

The boy he "killed".

The author has something to say: some dear friends thought the game was too difficult to play, but it is actually very simple, let's take it step by step.

Take this chapter for example:

[Clues]: The time of death of the deceased, the time when Ning Xiao met and left the deceased

[Evidence]: physical evidence - dagger, witness - the cleaner who found the corpse

[Facts to be verified]: It is determined that the deceased died of knife wounds, and others.

You can also use the model of deductive reasoning to guess the case.

Major premise: The deceased’s death time coincides with the suspect’s possible committing time, that is, he is a murder suspect

Minor premise: The time when Ning Xiao met the deceased was not far from the time when the deceased died.

Conclusion: Ning Xiao is likely to be the murderer
