The RV is located in a small forest one kilometer away from Goodman's old house.

Shen Lu bypassed the wretched man's body, and moved Natalia Carton, who was lying unconscious on the grass, to the side of the RV. Half an hour later, the support team from the investigation bureau rushed over.

This dismemberment case would end with the murderer being killed by another person. This was something that no one in the investigation bureau could have imagined.

The black-haired and blue-eyed man was quickly taken into the escort vehicle as the murderer of the new case. When he was arrested, he didn't cast a single glance at Shen Lu who was standing not far away. Knowing that Qin Qiu also left him a message.

"He asked me to tell you that you won the game," Newman, who was assigned to guard Qin Qiu in the hospital, avoided the bustling crowd, stood in a corner of a corridor and dialed Shen Lu's cell phone, "and said he left it for you." Things, just put them on the coffee table in the living room."

"I see." Qin Qiu's words caused some doubts in Shen Lu's heart, but he still maintained a calm and self-possessed look on his face, nodded slightly and asked, "Did he say anything else?"

"And the tape for our group," Newman recalled the lack of awe of the man in the ward, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, leaning his head back against the wall, "He told us not to worry, saying that we should wait until he gets sick Once you’re done, you’ll come over and surrender to us…”

The expressions of everyone in the conference room suddenly became extremely complicated.

Why, surrender is so popular now?

A few seconds later, as someone who had a relationship with Qin Qiu before, Newman's slightly hesitant voice came from the hands-free cell phone: "Well, I remember that this guy named Francis seems to be Sean's boyfriend Well, didn't he still live in Sean's room last time Glinton Cheetham's case?"

Everyone who had never seen the true face of the so-called "Sean's boyfriend" immediately cast their horrified eyes on Shen Lu.

Good fellow, he has already forgotten that fellow Qin Qiu caused him such trouble!

The corner of Shen Lu's mouth twitched helplessly: "No, actually I don't have that kind of relationship with him..."

He hesitated for a while, finally sighed, and slowly told the rest of the people about some things in the past - the dramatic first encounter between the two, the Barbra case, and the bet between them to make Qin Qiu surrender... …

After listening to the story, everyone was speechless for a while, and it was Agent Field who broke the silence after thinking for a moment: "It seems that he has been monitoring you since you first moved."

"..." Shen Lu paused, and said weakly, "Probably so."

"Killed three people, and has a dark history of spying on Sean," Kelly murmured incredulously, "is it really possible for such a person to surrender to us willingly?!"

"No, he is a cunning and recidivist. There is no way he just killed three people." Agent Field took off the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, lowered his head and rubbed his aching temples, "Come here first today, you guys Go home first to recuperate, Newman, you go home too, and ask two policemen on duty to monitor Francis for you, and Sean, remember to bring the things he left for you to the bureau tomorrow, it may help the case .”

After finishing the next arrangement, several agents stopped talking, sorted out the documents in their hands a little, and went back to their respective homes to rest.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when Shen Lu got home. The chaotic experience of this day made him tired and hungry, so he planned to look through the snack packs that had been set aside for a long time to fill his stomach before going to bed.He walked through the dining room to the door of his bedroom, and was about to push the door, but at this moment, he saw a post-it note on the door-there is food in the refrigerator for you, and you can eat it after heating it in the microwave up.

After staring at the message on the door for a while, Shen Lu pursed his lips, tore off the post-it note and held it in his palm, then turned his head and walked slowly towards the kitchen.He took out the two plates loaded with vegetables from the refrigerator, tore off the plastic wrap on them and put them in the microwave to heat them up. While waiting for the food, he left the kitchen and went to the living room. Silver safe.

What is the purpose of Qin Qiu leaving such a box for him?

Shen Lu picked it up with both hands and weighed it. The box doesn't look big, but its weight is not small at all. When shaking the box, there was no noise inside, which means that the safe should be filled to the brim with something. .

He turned the safe over and looked at it again, and found an inconspicuous hole at the bottom, which should be the keyhole for opening the box according to its shape.

The question is where should he find the key to this box?

Shen Lu hugged the safe and fell into deep thought. After a few seconds, he suddenly thought of something and returned to the room. He opened the drawer of the closet and found a small box at the bottom of the box, and took out a small and delicate silver key necklace from it.

That's right, this was the gift Qin Qiu brought back for him during his business trip last year to thank him for helping him grow flowers.

Shen Lu swallowed uneasily, pinched the key to the small hole at the bottom of the safe, carefully inserted it in, then turned his two fingers and twisted it lightly.

With a click, the lock opened.

But this only means that he has passed the first checkpoint, and there is another eight-digit combination lock in the box, and the small note pasted next to the lock records a reminder in handsome handwriting——Thekeyismyconfession.

Shen Lu frowned suspiciously: "The key is my confession?"

After a pause, he retwisted the key necklace on the side and inspected it carefully, and then he found a circle of small numbers at the place where the handle of the key meets the rod: 16961179.

Enter the numbers in the password field in order, and after hearing three crisp beeps, the door of the box popped out spontaneously. This time there was no annoying lock inside, and Shen Lu easily took out a thick stack from the box. Folded loose-leaf paper.

After the first sheet of paper was unfolded, it was just blank, and he was speechless, almost wondering if Qin Qiu was playing with him by leaving the box behind.

Throwing the blank paper aside, Shen Lu unfolded the second paper immediately, and saw unexpected information about Barbra who had kidnapped him before, but this information was different from the citizen information owned by the government. The above record is actually the detailed process of Qin Qiu letting Barbra be obsessed with himself, inducing Barbra to realize the threat of Arthur Reid and Will Acton, and implying that Barbra killed them.

Reading this detailed criminal record, Shen Lu couldn't help but sweat a little on his forehead.

After reading the information in his hand, he quickly took out the next piece of paper from the safe and unfolded it. This was still a detailed criminal record, which described how Qin Qiu locked down the child abuser Bill Addision and killed him by pretending to be a woman.

Shen Lu suddenly realized that the safe was probably filled with materials prepared by Qin Qiu to surrender himself. He took out the rest of the papers and unfolded them one by one, and he saw more criminal records of the man, in addition to those who were directly or indirectly killed by him. Information about criminals—Richard Sidney who induced others to commit suicide, Toby Norton, a rich second generation who raped/raped several women but was not punished by law...

At this moment, what the man said in the RV entered Shen Lu's mind inappropriately.

——This world is hard to feel worth nostalgic for.

——I have always felt that this is the only home after I have done what I want to do.

Immediately afterwards, more memories hidden deep in the brain also emerged like large seeds—Qin Qiu's own moral extremism, his hostility to criminals, his unbearable past when he saw his father kill his mother...

Shen Lu once analyzed that under the influence of the instinct of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, smart people are usually the kind of people who are least likely to commit crimes. If such people choose to commit crimes not because of perverted desires, then they must be extremely The influence of helpless childhood memories.It's a pity that although he analyzed the social factors that made Qin Qiu a criminal, he couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking from the complex personality shown by the man.

But he felt that he could somewhat understand Qin Qiu's thoughts now.

This man may have been influenced by his childhood experience, he hated his father who killed his mother, and he was also hostile to other murderers who had no reason and bottom line. No moral person should exist, so the idea of ​​sanctioning those murderers came up.

And what prompts the other party to implement this idea is probably the self-destructive tendency deeply buried in his character.

Yes, Shen Lu thought that Qin Qiu had a very serious tendency to self-destruct, otherwise, when this man went to save him, why would he say in such a sad tone that he felt that the world was not worth caring about?

From what Qin Qiu said at the time, it can be seen that this man feels that human beings are extremely pathetic, and that people are always lowering their moral bottom line for the sake of desire.

As a moral extremist, the reality that "human morality can never become extremely beautiful" is an extraordinary pain for Qin Qiu, not to mention whether he is willing to admit it or not, as long as he is alive In this world, it is impossible for him to escape from the definition of "human being".

——If you can't become a "non-human" no matter what, then maybe it would be happier to just give up your qualifications as a human, isn't it?

Qin Qiu probably had such thoughts, that's why he pointed the gun at his head with a smile, Shen Lu thought.

In this way, the man's act of voluntarily providing evidence and surrendering himself to the investigation bureau can be logically justified.

Therefore, there is a high probability that this key necklace is not a special gift from Qin Qiu at all, but a move that Qin Qiu must take in order to surrender himself.

Then again, since Qin Qiu had planned to surrender himself before last year, why did he play that troublesome bet with him later?Sure enough, he was just teasing him because he was too serious, right? !

The hands of the clock on the wall were constantly spinning, and the food that had been forgotten in the microwave had long since been cooled again, but Shen Lu couldn't remember at all that he just wanted to see what Qin Qiu had left for him to pass the time while waiting for the meal. After quickly reading these records one by one, there was only the last folded loose-leaf paper left in the safe.

This loose-leaf paper is located at the innermost side of the safe, and it should be the oldest record, but it looks newer than all the previous papers.

Shen Lu unfolded the paper with his mind full of conspiracy theories, fearing that there would be such a fantasy story with his own name written on it. However, when the content on the paper was fully displayed in front of Shen Lu, he unexpectedly discovered that it was just a string of unknown meanings. Characters - ASCII (2-10).

He stared at the string of characters and pondered for a moment, and then recalled that ASCII is a computer coding system he learned when he was learning computers during training. In this system, all characters are usually represented by eight-digit binary codes, so Shen Lu can understand what the number 2 in the brackets means.

As for the unknown 10...

He shifted his gaze to the code engraved on the key for a long time, and suddenly he slapped his head with a sudden realization—the number 9 in the code indicates that this string of codes follows the decimal rule, so (2-10) probably means that the ASCII code is converted from Convert binary to decimal!

Thinking of this, Shen Lu immediately sat down at the desk and turned on the computer, and used the base conversion software to directly convert the password from decimal to binary, but the result confuses him greatly. What he can get by doing this is only a few words that cannot be combined. Letters only.

In order to decipher the deep meaning of this string of eight-digit passwords, Shen Lu refused to admit defeat and tried several permutations and combinations again. It was not until Chaoyang passed through the gap in the curtains and hit the floor that he came to a conclusion through elimination. The password is probably a bunch of binary strings added together by decimal addition.

ASCII编码中所有二进制字符都以0开头,而密码“16961179”以1打头,这说明至少有15或16个二进制字符的第七位必须是1。

Shen Lu reversed it in this way. He spent nearly two hours and tried countless coding possibilities, and finally got a sentence through the binary code he found - "Iwill live for you.".

I will live for you.

This is the sweetest confession ever from a man with self-destructive tendencies.

Shen Lu's heart skipped a beat when he got the final answer, thekeyismyconfession, he finally knew the meaning hidden in this sentence.

This heavy confession made him finally realize that at the moment Qin Qiu put down the pistol/gun for him, he also shouldered the full weight of the man's life.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

The scheming Qin Qiu continued to persecute Shen Shenzhong.

Key: key, password. Confession: Confession, confession.So the title can also be translated as "The password is my confession to you".

One day, Shen Lu will think of Qin Qiu's fear of being coded and deciphered even if he expresses his confession (.

Due to the complexity of human beings, some of Shen Lu's analysis of Qin Qiu were correct, but some of them were inaccurate...

On the point of analyzing human nature, I have never strictly written from the perspective of God, but let the characters analyze according to their subjective ideas, so whether it is some analysis of the first 20 words or this analysis, the analysis results may sound strange. It makes sense, but there is still some discrepancy between the actual persona and the real person of the analysis object.

Yes, that’s right qwq I’m just implying that Qin Qiu’s brain circuit is not as simple as Shen Lu thought… His main purpose should be written in a few chapters, cover your face qwq
