Sick roommate observation notes

After the stirring spoon was stirred in the cup a few times, it was gently put into the sink.

Qin Qiu didn't taste the fruit of his labor, but handed the coffee to Shen Lu: "Do you want a drink?"

Shen Lu suddenly recalled that he had been looking forward to meeting his roommate a few days ago. Now it seems that he was definitely out of his mind when he was looking forward to this new roommate!

"Are you my roommate?" He looked at the man sharply, "You were also the person in the bar just now?"

"Yes," Qin Qiu confessed his crime calmly. He didn't realize that he was introduced into a dangerous topic at all. He just smiled and put the coffee on the table beside him, "I brewed this specially for you. Half of it is It’s all milk with about ten grams of sugar added, it’s a pity if you don’t drink it, after all, I don’t like drinking sweet coffee.”

Shen Lu was about to be laughed at by the other party's uncooperative conversation pattern. If the other party's performance in the bar was not too clever, he would have wondered if this person was pretending to be crazy: "It's useless for me to change the subject."

"I didn't change the subject, and I know what you want to ask, but since you're at home now, you can relax and don't have to be so aggressive, right?" Qin Qiu leaned against the workbench and narrowed his eyes comfortably. , "The vigilant look in the bar before was very cute, why are you showing your paws at me unconsciously now, are you not afraid that it is more convenient for me to do dangerous things to you at home?"

Hearing this, Shen Lu immediately looked at Qin Qiu as if facing an enemy. He quickly put his right hand into his trouser pocket and grasped the phone to unlock it with his fingerprint. As long as Qin Qiu dared to act rashly, he would immediately press the button of the small program on the far left of the screen Call the police.

"Teasing you," Qin Qiu raised the corners of his lips contentedly after admiring Shen Lu's tense expression, and said softly, "I won't do anything to you, after all, I will be with you in this house in the future I have lived for a long time, and I also want to get along well with you."

Shen Lu didn't think that the threat in this population was just a joke, after all, all the behaviors of this person so far cannot be measured by normal people's thinking.

This man is talking about him now. From Shen Lu's point of view, it is obvious that he wants to ignore the incident of threatening him with a gun.

And a suspicious person takes the initiative to downplay his crimes usually not because he decides to reform himself and let others let him go, but because he wants others to relax their vigilance so that he can gain more opportunities for his future crimes.

"Get along well?" So Shen Lu couldn't help but sneered, and slowly rubbed his thumb on the lower left corner of the phone screen, ready to recklessly tear his face off with the man in front of him, "If you really think so, why don't you consciously take the threat away?" Tell me all about my causes and consequences?"

He had just finished speaking when his roommate said cooperatively: "Okay."

Shen Lu: "..."

He wondered if he had misheard.

"54:[-] is the time for me to leave Whisper, and based on what I know about you so far, I don't think you will just let me leave like this, so I made several guesses about your next behavior," Qin Qiu said slowly He began to explain, "First of all, you are least likely to track down my whereabouts alone. After being threatened by me, you will probably be in the most vigilant state for a long time, so you will not take the risk of acting alone; if you want to call the police, there is not enough evidence, let alone you I have not suffered any substantial harm, even if you call the police station, your appeal will not be accepted; so I guess you will go home first and then make further plans."

Shen Lu suddenly regretted that he hadn't discussed with the investigation bureau before going to the bar to bring a voice recorder to record the whole process, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen into the situation of insufficient evidence as this man said!

"You were at a party in Whisper, so I also considered the possibility of you staying there and continuing to drink with them, but my appearance has already made you feel uneasy, so I guess you will stop observing the people around you and go back first. Home, it takes about 30 minutes to get home from Whisper without traffic jams. Assuming that the error of our arrival at home can be controlled within 10 minutes, then if I start making coffee 10 minutes after I get home, you can drink it as soon as you come back Coffee with milk at the right temperature."

"..." Could this person be a good wife and mother? !

Shen Lu shouted in his heart a little speechlessly.

Qin Qiu's analysis sounded logical, but after going around for a long time, he only revisited how he estimated the time of Shen Lu's return home.

This kind of thing is not what Shen Lu wants to hear at all.

Shen Lu felt a little annoyed, he was just being stupid who was looking forward to this man's speech just now!

The other party said that they could cooperate, but in fact, they didn't even reveal any meaningful information!

What's more, there is something wrong with the way this person speaks, and the information revealed between the lines seems to know him very well.

Thinking of this, his heart felt cold, he gritted his molars and confronted the man: "Have you investigated me?"

"There is no investigation, just a proper understanding of you as your future new roommate," Qin Qiu paused, took out an orange-flavored fructose from his shirt pocket, peeled it into his mouth, chewed the candy Then he said, "Shen Lu, Sean in country C, 25 years old, received a doctorate in criminology from University H two years ago, and is currently working as an assistant professor of criminology at University H. He is good at studying the impact of social changes on human personality and behavior."

Shen Lu couldn't help but frown at Qin Qiu.

Is this fucking called no investigation? !

Shen Lu finally understood why a man would be indifferent to his act of voluntarily revealing his identity when he was in a bar... After a long time, this man's previous appearance of ignorance of himself was all a disguise, but he actually knew a little about his identity information. Clearly!

"Don't stare at me, I really haven't investigated your identity." The candy made Qin Qiu's tongue twitch a little, he stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked it around his lips, so far his pale pink lips were full of water, If it weren't for the current situation, Shen Lu would give a thumbs up in his heart and boast that it was pornographic.

"How should I put it, it's actually not difficult to get to know you, as long as you inquire about it a little bit, you can get all the information at your fingertips." After a pause, Qin Qiu chuckled again, with a teasing tone, "After all, I'm a few years older than you. After graduation, I stayed under the same professor again, logically speaking, you should still call me a senior."

Shen Lu couldn't help wondering if this man was teasing him.

Qin Qiu naturally noticed the disbelief in Shen Lu's eyes, and he just bent his eyebrows indifferently, as if all the distrust of the people in front of him had nothing to do with him: "I guessed that you don't You will easily believe what I say, so I prepared my graduation certificate in advance, and it is quite difficult to find this kind of document at the bottom of the box."

Seeing that a square object was taken out of the drawer by Qin Qiu and thrown towards him, Shen Lu subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it.

The gold-stamped characters of "Graduation Certificate for H University Master's Degree" shone on the dark red cover of the certificate, so bright that he felt a little dazzling.

Calm down, don't allow your logical judgment to be affected by what this person gives and says. After all, it is not difficult to forge something like a certificate. There are other ways to determine whether his words are true.

Shen Lu rummaged through Qin Qiu's graduation certificate for half a minute, and then put it on the low table beside the vase: "Which professor have you worked under?"

"William□□ith," Qin Qiu said in an elegant and low tone when he pronounced the name of a person from country C, "I took several of his courses when I was an undergraduate, and applied to be his research assistant when I was a graduate student, and I was still on his homepage later. I have a little impression of your name because I read the evaluation of several juniors."

Shen Lu did research under this professor for a period of time, but this professor had a weird personality and was not easy to talk to, so he was one of the professors he was most afraid of when he was in school.

He stared at Qin Qiu with some shame: "You have a good relationship with Mr.□□ith?"

"It's not particularly good, but I was recruited by him from the Department of Mathematics to major in Criminology when I was an undergraduate, so my relationship with him may be better than that of ordinary students, and I will occasionally contact him by email after graduation."

At this point in the conversation, Shen Lu was almost sure that Qin Qiu was not lying. After all, the other party clearly pointed out a professor whom both of them knew well and also stated his relationship with the professor. If such a thing was a lie, it would be too easy to be exposed. , and Qin Qiu didn't need to tell a lie that was destined to be exposed.

The fact that the other party studied criminology after changing major made Shen Lu couldn't help being a little more curious: "You used to study mathematics?"

"Yes, I majored in Mathematics and Criminology as an undergraduate." Qin Qiu tilted his head harmlessly, "Why, are you interested in my previous major, or do you want to prove even this? ?”

"No, there is no need to prove this." Shen Lu shook his head and put aside the curiosity in his heart, "Okay, assuming that it is true that you are my senior, why did you kidnap me in the bar just now?" ? The purpose?"

"I'm sorry if the thing that threatened you at the bar troubled you," Qin Qiu said apologetically, but there was no sincerity in Qin Qiu's tone, "I'm currently a suspense novelist. Threatening you with a gun is not intended to hurt you, but because the current plot of the novel requires it, I borrowed you as a material."

Shen Lu: "..."

Fiction? ? ? ? ?

Now he felt that this man was just teasing him: "Do you know how ridiculous your words are? You just pointed a gun at my head and shot me!"

"The gun is fake, and there is nothing in it." Qin Qiu explained in a good-tempered, lazy tone.

Shen Lu sneered, unable to believe the man's sophistry.

"It's real or it's fake, you see." Qin Qiu slowly took out a small gun from the back of his waist as he spoke.

Shen Lu immediately took two steps back and moved his fingers to call the police station. In the next moment, he saw the man smash the gun on the ground, and the body of the gun smashed into pieces immediately after colliding with the white porcelain floor tiles in the kitchen.

Shen Lu: "..."

Damn, it's really fake!

Before the alarm call was dialed, he cut it off with a guilty conscience, took a deep breath, and said in a trembling tone: "Then why did you appear in Whisper so coincidentally..."

"It's been said that I'm writing a suspense novel, so I often go to places like T City to find inspiration. A week ago, I was on a business trip. I didn't suddenly decide to go home until I met you in a bar today. So we The two are really destined." Qin Qiu's smile was flawless, "Speaking of which, I have published two books, one is a pure crime-solving novel and the other is a dystopian novel. I have both of them in my collection here. version of the physical book, if you are interested, would you like to read it?"

A sense of frustration enveloped Shen Lu deeply. He heard that Qin Qiu was writing a book, so he said weakly: "I don't need it today, I will read it next time I have a chance."

"Well, let's see later." Qin Qiu naturally nodded, and picked up the coffee from the table again, with a regretful expression, "The coffee was still cold, which is a pity."

Only then did Shen Lu belatedly realize that his roommate had accurately grasped his preference for coffee, more milk and more sugar, because he hated the bitter taste of coffee.

Could it be that this is also a gossip that I learned from some professor or classmate?

Shen Lu hadn't felt this kind of anxiety for a long time.

He still had the feeling that the other party was a dangerous person, but the series of explanations given by his roommate were impeccably logical.

He couldn't help thinking, is his perception correct, or is he too sensitive to his roommate's words and deeds because of his frequent contact with those vicious criminals?

Shen Lu didn't want to define his roommate as a bad person without evidence. After all, there was indeed a type of people in this world. Their innate physiological conditions and acquired strange encounters caused their behavior patterns to be far from normal people. Human-like behavior is defined as abnormal by society, but due to the constraints of the law, they usually do not do things that are truly illegal and criminal.

And this analysis is only one reason why he wants to trust this roommate. On the other hand, from an emotional point of view, because Shen Lu has seen too much darkness in human nature during his years of study and work related to crimes, he is faced with abnormal behavior. People are full of vigilance, but because of this, they become more eager for the rare beauty hidden in human nature.

Generally speaking, Shen Lu very much hoped that his roommate would be a good person. This hope made him willing to put aside his existing prejudices against roommates, and try his best to get along with each other in a normal and friendly manner.

Then keep your doubts about your roommates first.

Shen Lu finally made a decision. He would not treat his roommate as a dangerous person, but he would not completely let go of his vigilance. If he can confirm that the other party is a good person in the future, then everything will be happy.

This night, he thought too much about his roommate, Shen Lu finally lost sleep sadly, so when he woke up the next day, it was already past lunch time.

He rubbed his drowsy head and went downstairs to look for food. When he stepped into the kitchen, a faint aroma of food wafted his nostrils, but the stove and kitchen worktops were spotless, as if no one had cooked food there before.

Shen Lu couldn't help sighing in his heart, although Qin Qiu acted weirdly, he had good living habits, and as a roommate, he was actually impeccable.

On this day, Shen Lu didn't have to go to school. He only needed to log in to the course interface at home to assist the professor in correcting the students' criminology quizzes.After the quiz was corrected, he was about to go downstairs to do the dishes when his cell phone rang suddenly. The call was from his friend who was an agent in the investigation branch.

"Our team has received a new case, and we plan to hold a briefing on the case this afternoon." Jiang Chen on the other end of the phone smiled and sent an invitation that Shen Lu couldn't refuse, "I know you are interested in what we have solved the case. So I have reserved a good spot for you, do you want to come and see us analyze the case later?"
