Only you are so different

Chapter 10 It's Not Too Late For All Repentance

Although it was inconvenient for the criminal police team to investigate publicly, Zhang Yan still gave Su Xiuran a phone number, saying that this is his capable subordinate. If Su Xiuran needs anything, he can call and let him go with him.

Su Xiuran woke up early the next day and was about to go out, but happened to be blocked by Cheng Yu who had arrived half an hour earlier.

Cheng Yu was taken aback for a moment, and realized that Su Xiuran actually wanted to "run away", and immediately burst into anger, his fair baby face flushed with anger: "How dare you run! Are you promising? How dare you run out into the wild!"

Su Xiuran planned to sneak out half an hour early to investigate the case. He thought that no one would notice, but Cheng Yu, who was always on time, came early.

The great god's psychological quality is not covered either, he turned to look at Lin Mei without changing his face and heartbeat, his eyes were still indifferent, but Lin Mei felt that he had read the distress signal from it.

She didn't have the guts to face Su Xiuran like this, turned her head away and bowed her head pretending to think for a while, then looked at Cheng Yu and said calmly: "I can't hold him back, Doctor Cheng, you know, he has long legs."

After hearing this sentence, Cheng Yu was completely blown away. With a wave of his big hand, his aura instantly exploded. Even Su Xiuran, who was half a head taller than him, seemed to be short: "I have an important operation in the morning, do you know? I worked so hard to come here early to play hide and seek with you! How old are you, can you be more mature! You are still such a bear! If you are still a child, I will spank your ass, you know! Ah?"

Su Xiuran pursed his thin lips and didn't dare to make a sound, and of course he didn't dare to run away with his two long legs. He just stood there and listened to the training silently, and even took time to turn his gaze to Lin Mei's face.

This time Lin Mei read the condemnation in his eyes, and there was still a trace of resentment...

She felt that Su Xiuran was amazing. She could hold a noble and stern face and express so many emotions with just his eyes. She couldn't think of other words to praise him except that he was worthy of being a great god.

Thinking about it, she decided to appease him and praise him by the way, and secretly gave him a thumbs up from the side.

Su Xiuran still had the same indifferent expression, but she was already angry with her eyes, paused for a moment, and then turned away.

Dr. Cheng Yu, who overwhelmed the audience with full momentum, dragged Su Xiuran all the way back upstairs, pressed him on the recliner and got the needle.

Not only did Su Xiuran cooperate obediently all the way, but even Lin Mei didn't dare to show his anger, so he could only comfort Su Xiuran quietly: "If you have nothing to do, hurry up and finish the drip after lunch. You still have time to do things in the afternoon."

Cheng Yu sneered with a "hehe" at the side: "It will hurt if the IV is put on too soon."

Lin Mei couldn't help "hissing", she felt pain for Su Xiuran, after all, when Cheng Yu gave the needle just now, he completely lost his usual thoughtfulness, although he was still fast and accurate, but when she saw Su Xiuran's eye His muscles twitched slightly.

Su Xiuran, who has always regarded aloofness and maintaining his image as his top priority, couldn't resist showing such an expression. Lin Mei thought that the injection must be painful... .

Smiling and sending Cheng Yu, who was still angry, out, Dr. Cheng said to Lin Mei again: "Tell him to hang up for seven days this time." After speaking, he left arrogantly.

Lin Mei could only go back upstairs to appease Su Xiuran who was surrounded by low air pressure at the moment: "Doctor Cheng is gone, he said he will hang up for seven days this time."

Su Xiuran was silent for a while, then raised his arm that was not pricked, leaned his head back, and covered his eyes with his hands.

Lin Mei guessed that he was having a breakdown. She endured and endured, but she still didn't hold back: "Are you stupid? You can hide from the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth. Does the doctor have to repair you if he catches you?"

Su Xiuran remained silent for a long time, then continued to cover his eyes, and said in a flat tone: "I thought today was the last day... If you escape, you don't have to hang up tomorrow."

Sure enough, the relationship between doctors and patients is a hurdle that cannot be overcome for thousands of years. A person as wise as Su Xiuran, when encountering such a thing, his IQ will be eaten by a dog in an instant.

Lin Mei looked at him regretfully and shook his head. Unprepared, he suddenly moved his hand and looked at her: "Go and get my notebook, computer and mobile phone, and I will arrange it." After finishing speaking, he pursed his lips and turned pale thin lips, "And I want to eat mung bean cake."

Lin Mei thought to himself, God, aren't you from City S?Why do you have such a soft spot for the sweet traditional desserts of City B?

Su Xiuran picks his tongue, he doesn't like ordinary dim sum, the mung bean cake ordered to eat is the signature of a nearby private club, the Chinese pastry chef is said to be an ancestral imperial cooking technique, and no one else can do this kind of cooking.

Lin Mei has already bought it for him twice since he lived here, and now she sighed and coaxed him: "Okay, I'll drive to buy it right away, just wait a moment."

Su Xiuran fell back on the reclining chair again, although he could barely maintain his usual elegance, but somehow he looked a little decadent: "There is also barley syrup...you made it."

Lin Mei thought of how cruelly she left to die just now, she nodded with guilt: "Okay, I'll be doing housework and cooking for these seven days, are you happy?"

Su Xiuran turned his head slightly, his long eyelashes drooping slightly, obviously not wanting to talk to her.

When Lin Mei drove to the clubhouse to pack some snacks, and came back to cook a bowl of barley syrup, Su Xiuran had already been working upstairs for a while.

He really turned up the drip to the maximum. Lin Mei didn't know if it hurt or not. He only saw that the arm where he was holding the sleeve for the infusion was red.

Lin Mei sat down and held his hand, it was really cold, she immediately went to fill the warm water bag, massaged him, and used the warm water bag to restore his body temperature.

After two hours, Su Xiuran's arrogance had passed, he thanked her in a low voice, and continued to operate the computer with his movable right hand.

He tapped the keyboard quickly with his fingers, and took the time to say to Lin Mei: "Please prepare lunch for three of you. I have an appointment with Xiao Xiao, and I will be there in about 10 minutes."

Yu is the policeman sent by Zhang Yan, his full name is Yu Qizhen, last time Lin Mei saw him in the police station, he had a little impression, I remember he was a young man with a crew cut and spirit.

Nodding her head in agreement, and listening to Su Xiuran thanking herself, she leaned over, turned his face, and kissed his water-colored lips lightly.

Su Xiuran didn't expect that she would kiss him suddenly, his expression froze, and a shyness that was difficult to capture slipped through his deep pupils.

Lin Mei let go of him and smiled: "I reward you for treating me obediently, I won't be embarrassed if someone else is around later." After she finished speaking, she turned and ran downstairs.

Su Xiuran had a job, so she was not idle. She turned on the computer and edited a few pages of documents during the lunch break.

Yu Qizhen arrived not long after. He had a very cheerful personality. When he arrived, he saw that Su Xiuran couldn't leave for a while, and even ran to the kitchen to help Lin Mei cook.

Su Xiuran didn't have much appetite at lunch because he was desperately trying to get the drip off, and the dessert and soup he ordered in the morning really became the key to keeping his calories.

In the afternoon, he arranged an interview, which required the participation of the police, because the interviewer was not an ordinary witness, but the prisoner in the case six years ago.

In that case, he was sentenced to six years for negligent death, plus he performed well in prison. The criminal just got out of prison six months ago and is currently waiting for work at home.

This time, because it was true, they drove the car of the police station. Lin Mei read the profile of the prisoner on the way. His name is Zhang Guo, he is 47 years old, and his resume is very ordinary. He was born in a local area. He has been a maintenance worker at the bureau for more than ten years, honestly and honestly, except for the case six years ago, he has not even committed a traffic violation.

Thinking that this case happened after he was released from prison, Lin Mei asked Yu Qizhen, "Did the police not investigate him after the accident?"

Yu Qizhen shook his head while driving: "Why didn't I ask? When something happened the day before yesterday, Captain Zhang asked me to check him first, but he was drinking a relative's wedding wine in the east of the city on the night of the incident, and he went to the emergency room after drinking too much." , a lot of alibi is asked, it can't be him."

Thinking about it, Zhang Guo is also very unlucky, maybe he dropped a wrench while working in the air, which not only killed someone, but also served him in prison for several years. .

Zhang Guo's address is not far from the place where the crime happened six years ago. Although it is not a village in the city, it is an old residential area. After driving in, you can see retired people playing in the yard or walking their dogs everywhere.

Yu Qizhen didn't wear a police uniform, but the group of them still had an aura that didn't fit in with the surroundings, especially Su Xiuran, who was tall and tall, dressed in a crisp windbreaker and trousers, and also wore a pair of sunglasses.

Lin Mei accepted the slightly strange gazes from around her, and she was also under a lot of psychological pressure. She secretly thought that Zhang Yan rarely let Su Xiuran be on the front line to investigate cases, probably because his aura was too eye-catching.

Yu Qizhen took them to the entrance of a unit, walked up the stairs that had been in disrepair and were full of debris and dust, sighed and said in a low voice: "It's very difficult for Zhang's country. In the husband’s room of square meters, the neighbors around are all old colleagues. There are many people who know about him. He has a son who is in junior high school. After the accident, his wife divorced him. .”

When they knocked on the anti-theft door, the person who opened the door was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his 50s, with gray hair on his temples and a tired expression. When he saw Yu Qizhen, he showed an expression of impatience and self-defeating. : "Comrade policeman, you are here again."

Lin Mei recognized that he was Zhang Guo himself. Although the photos on the information were ordinary, he looked far from being so old. Several years of prison life and frustrated life must have caused him to suffer a lot.

No matter how impatient Zhang Guo was, he didn't dare not cooperate with the police's inquiries, especially for someone with a criminal record like him. After letting them into the house, Lin Mei saw a cramped living room full of sundries. A bed was stuffed, and a haggard elderly woman was lying on it, looking at them with cloudy and numb eyes.

It was the first time for Lin Mei to face this kind of family directly. Seeing such a situation, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, which was sadness and an indescribable depression.

Zhang Guo smiled wryly: "This is my mother. She got esophageal cancer last year. There is no way to avoid it. Let's go to the bedroom and talk about it."

The hardship of life obviously made him no longer care about etiquette and dignity, and he did not shy away from telling the fact that she was terminally ill in front of his mother.

In addition to the living room, the space of tens of square meters is divided into two bedrooms, which are slightly brighter than the dark and windowless living room, one of which belongs to Zhang Guo.There are two beds inside, one is his own, and the other is a little cleaner and should belong to his son.

He brought all three of them in, closed the door, and turned his head with a smile that wasn't exactly a smile: "Why? The alibi I provided last time wasn't enough?"

Lin Mei noticed that his diction was very standard, not colloquial. In addition to physical harm, prison life brought him familiarity with various legal terms.

Before Yu Qizhen had time to speak, it was Su Xiuran who spoke first. His voice was low, and he still couldn't hear much emotion: "This time, I hope you can fully cooperate with us and recall the details of six years ago. If you can do well If you complete the task in a timely manner, you may have a chance to reverse the case—I mean the case from six years ago."

Zhang Guo opened his eyes wide and looked at him, the muscles on his dull and ordinary face trembled, and after a while, he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth with a grim expression: "Who the hell are you?"

Su Xiuran took off his sunglasses after entering the room with insufficient light, and put his hands in his pockets at the moment, not minding Zhang Guo's swear words at all, he hooked his thin lips: "As far as I know, unjust cases You can apply for compensation from the government, the amount may not be large, but it will also allow your mother to get better treatment." He paused for a while, and then said, "Perhaps you would rather use it for your son's future education. fund."

Thinking of this difficult family, even Lin Mei felt that although Su Xiuran's words were well-intentioned, they were also a bit harsh.

Zhang Guo's attention has been completely attracted by Su Xiuran, he stared at him with a very strong and vicious gaze, until the veins on his forehead were about to pop out, and finally said hoarsely: "Do you want to ask?" What?"

The expression on Zhang Guo's face was too frightening, Lin Mei took half a step back indistinctly, but Su Xiuran still looked at him motionless, and even raised the corners of his lips.

Su Xiuran didn't speak, and after Su Xiuran took the initiative, Yu Qizhen stood silently aside, Lin Mei naturally cooperated with them, and also didn't say a word.

The silence lasted for a long time, and Zhang Guo's heavy breathing was very clear in the silence. Finally, he withdrew his fierce gaze, raised his hand to touch his face, and when he spoke again, his tone had barely returned to normal: "What do you want to ask?" , I have confessed many times about what happened back then.”

Su Xiuran then said leisurely: "I know that, if I ask you again, you'll just recite the confession again." He paused, "So this time I will hypnotize you to help you recall the confession you were accused of. Details forgotten in the subconscious."

Lin Mei involuntarily turned her head to look at Su Xiuran, would he still be hypnotized?Why have I never heard him say it before? If he could hypnotize... When she was still hesitating, couldn't he just hypnotize himself that he was deeply in love with him?
Of course, she also knew that now was not the time to ask questions, so she covered up her puzzled eyes well, without showing any emotion on her face.

Zhang Guo stared at Su Xiuran hesitantly: "Can you really help me reverse the case?"

Su Xiuran smiled, and asked him a question instead: "Do you believe that you are wronged?"

For a person who has been in prison for five and a half years and suffered double accidents in his career and family, this sentence is a poisonous booster, and hope is mixed with deeper despair.

Zhang Guo's lips trembled. After opening and closing a few times, the old middle-aged man finally uttered a sentence that he had repeated repeatedly when he was arrested six years ago: "I didn't kill anyone, that small hole died." Inhuman."

This sentence was once regarded as his misjudgment of the situation at the scene, and it was also the key to his being convicted of negligent death rather than intentional, but now Su Xiuran smiled at him and nodded slightly: "You are right, You did not kill."

Zhang Guo voluntarily asked Su Xiuran to hypnotize him, and the cooperation was so high that it could be said that he couldn't wait.Su Xiuran asked him to lie on the bed and close his eyes, and then let Lin Mei and Yu Qizhen sit aside to keep quiet.

Guided by Su Xiuran's deep voice, Zhang Guo quickly entered the state, his voice and expression were very calm, as if he had returned to that spring night six years ago.

The night breeze is slightly cool, but it is no longer biting. There is the fragrance of cherry blossoms floating in the air, and occasionally there are petals floating down from nowhere.

Zhang Guo is not a person with delicate feelings, but he also feels the breath of spring that represents new life and hope.

He couldn't help humming a few popular songs softly. It didn't matter what he sang, what mattered was his relaxed and comfortable mood at the moment.

At this time, a deep and ironic voice rang next to his ear, asking him: "At least two workers are needed for the street lighting shift, why are you the only one today?"

Zhang Guo hesitated for a moment before answering: "When we came out, there were two of us, and Lao Chen, but Lao Chen answered the phone and said that there was an urgent matter at home. I thought that no one would check the post in the middle of the night, so I asked him gone."

This detail was also mentioned in Zhang Guo's confession back then, and the police naturally found the "Old Chen" who was supposed to be with Zhang Guo at that time, that is, Chen Shengli.

He was a maintenance worker slightly younger than Zhang Guo. Because the seven-year-old child suddenly had a fever that day, he left Zhang Guo and hurried back.Immediately after returning home, he picked up his children and his wife and went to the hospital. There is ample evidence of his alibi.

If there is really an unknown suspect hiding in the dark, he should not be supernatural enough to control the time of a child's fever. This point should tend to be just a coincidence.

Sure enough, Su Xiuran didn't pursue the question further, and then asked softly: "Then is there anyone else around? Turn your head and take a closer look."

Zhang Guozhen, who was lying on the bed, closed his eyes and turned his head slightly, and then said: "There is a student on the road next to me. He is sitting and reading under the street lamp. He looks very hardworking. My son is also like this when he grows up." Just work hard."

Su Xiuran raised his head and exchanged glances with Yu Qizhen, then he asked, "Can you see the student's age and appearance clearly?"

Zhang Guo paused for another moment, as if he was observing, and then said: "I'm in my twenties, I think he looks like a college student, he's reciting English words, he's thin, and he's wearing a blue jacket."

Su Xiuran didn't ask any more questions, Zhang Guo seemed to have fallen into the memories of that year again, his hands moved slightly, that was the posture of a maintenance worker, his hands were clenched into fists, as if holding a wrench, even though six years had passed, he Doing these movements is still as familiar as back then, it seems that this habit has been deeply engraved into his bone marrow.

Then there was a surprised expression on his face, and he couldn't help "Ouch", Lin Mei knew that he must have recalled that scene back then: the wrench that fell from his hand hit a pedestrian on the head.

The other party didn't know what he said, and he shouted in a gaffe: "I didn't mean it, I will compensate you, can I compensate you? Don't make a fuss, I will go to my colleague and see your blood. Really, I will immediately return."

Zhang Guo, who was lying on the bed, looked panicked, his hands and feet were shaking, simulating the posture of running, he gradually fell into great pain, his expression became sad, and his voice became hoarse: "I didn't mean it, you chased me What are you doing?"

Su Xiuran knew that the excitement began to make him lose his memories of the day, and fell into constant pain in the future. He raised his voice and interrupted his shouting: "Did you see him chasing you? Where is that student?"

Zhang Guo's vicissitudes of life showed an expression of grievance: "He really chased me, he chased me for several steps, he looks very energetic! That student...he is watching from the side!"

His expression became more and more complicated, Su Xiuran yelled at him: "Zhang Guo!"

Zhang Guo opened his eyes in an instant with the sound of drinking, looked around in a daze for a while, and then burst into tears. A big man wrinkled his face from crying, looking like a child.

Su Xiuran, who had been acting very strong and cold just now, leaned over and patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him in a soft voice: "It's okay, it's over, and it will get better and better in the future."

Zhang Guo couldn't help grabbing his hand, and cried loudly for a while.

After Zhang Guo calmed down, they left.Before leaving, Su Xiuran took a piece of paper, wrote down the address of City B, and a name and phone number, handed it to Zhang Guo, and said: "After the police find out the truth and confirm your innocence, you You can go to this lawyer, he will be responsible for helping you file a lawsuit for compensation.”

Lin Mei glanced at the address, it was a commercial center in this city where every inch of land was expensive, and the law firm working there was, needless to say, the top in the industry.

Su Xiuran said, and smiled again: "Don't worry about the legal fee, I will pay it."

After leaving Zhang Guo's home, it was still early, Su Xiuran gave Qizhen an address and asked him to drive them there.

There is a large flower market located in the South District of City B.

After arriving at the destination, Su Xiuran let Yu Qizhen wait in the car, and took Lin Mei in by himself.

The flower market is in a greenhouse, and when you walk in, you can feel the dense water vapor and the strong fragrance of flowers. Although these smells are quite pleasant, they also stimulated Su Xiuran's sensitive respiratory tract. He tilted his head and coughed a few times .

Lin Mei walked beside him, surrounded by unknown merchants and customers, Su Xiuran was still wearing sunglasses, so she was not shy, took his hand and said, "You need to investigate the origin of that cornflower Is it? How do I cooperate?"

Su Xiuran looked down at her and smiled slightly: "Cooperate to be my girlfriend?"

Lin Mei was not the kind of person who would blush just after being teased by him casually. She cleared her throat and said, "It's still necessary to cooperate, isn't it?"

Su Xiuran said in a low voice, "Yes."

However, Lin Mei could hear a strong gentleness and a bit of indulgence from this light word, she still turned her head a little embarrassed, and quietly held his hand even tighter.

Su Xiuran was well-dressed, and he stood out in the flower market. Many merchants came forward to greet him without asking.

Su Xiuran pulled Lin Mei, smiled politely all the way, walked around the market, and then stopped in front of a stall that was in a good location and looked relatively large.

The stall owner enthusiastically came over and asked if he wanted to buy potted plants or fresh-cut flowers.

Su Xiuran smiled and said, "Buying flowers is the second priority. I want to investigate the market...to find a partner."

Then Lin Mei was amazed, she listened to Su Xiuran start talking about her plan to open a boutique flower shop in a high-end shopping mall.

As for the source of goods, he wants to find the best in this city, and imported flowers are also indispensable. Of course, he opened this flower shop not only to make money, but mainly because he likes green plants and flowers. The citizens decorate their lives and make their girlfriend, Lin Mei, happy.

If Lin Mei hadn't known the truth in advance, even she would have believed that he was really planning to spend money to open such a flower shop, and moreover - he was stupid, he had a lot of money, and he came quickly.

If others say so, they may not be able to fool the well-informed stall owner, but Su Xiuran is well dressed. Although he wears sunglasses, he has an elegant smile on his lips, and an elegant and sincere conversation with a dictionary. People can't help but believe.

So sometimes it's not about how to fool you, but who is going to fool you.

In the train where Su Xiuran was running with his mouth full, the stall owner had completely believed it, and even invited them to a little inside the stall, and asked the clerk beside him to greet the new customers, concentrating on talking with Su Xiuran.

Su Xiuran actually knows flowers and plants very well, not only the origin of the varieties, but also the planting techniques, soil acidity and alkalinity, etc.

As soon as the stall owner saw the big money, he was an expert and was ready to cooperate with him. This matter was reliable, and the more he talked, the more focused he became. Hierarchy issues.

After chatting for a while, Su Xiuran nonchalantly turned the question around to cornflowers, saying that his girlfriend liked this kind of flower very much, and wondered if there were any fresh-cut flowers for sale.

The stall owner showed an expression of "sure enough that he is still an amateur", and said with a little pride that cornflowers appeared in fresh-cut flowers for a while a few years ago, but they have not been very popular in City B in recent years.The same is true for chrysanthemums. People in City B still prefer the more festive sunflowers, and the more compact daisies. In the past few years, most people have sold seeds and seedlings of cornflowers, allowing flower lovers to plant them at home.

Why so sure?The stall owner said that because most of the fresh cuts in City B are wholesaled from the market here, if they don't sell them, how can others sell them!
Su Xiuran nodded repeatedly to show that he was educated, and then said that his family lived in a certain urban area. Are there any flower shops and places selling planting materials nearby?

The stall owner thought for a while and said, there are probably two or three, but they also get their goods from themselves, and the richness and supply of goods are completely incomparable with their own.

After the goal was achieved, Su Xiuran stood and chattered with him for a while, coaxing the stall owner into thinking that the matter was almost inseparable, and even handed over his business card and left a phone number without mentioning it.

Then Su Xiuran said that he still had something to do today, so he went back to confirm the contract of the store, and he would come to discuss cooperation with him another day. Of course, the stall owner sent them out in person. The freshness of the ones that have been stored for several days is definitely not the same. I also gave them a handful of white tulips with bulbs.

Su Xiuran said that it was not good to take gifts for nothing, and politely stuffed back two hundred-yuan bills, and everyone said goodbye happily.

In fact, this flickering lasted only ten minutes, and Lin Mei pretended to be "a girlfriend who also likes flowers" with an elegant and polite smile all the way.

After leaving the flower market, she couldn't help but smiled and said, "Master, I think if you can't show your face, you can switch to selling insurance, and you have a bright future."

Su Xiuran smiled at her with the corners of his lips curled up, and handed her the bouquet of white tulips in his hand: "For you."

Lin Mei took it over, and before Yu Qizhen saw them, she tiptoed and kissed him lightly on the cheek: "Thank you!"

They didn't discuss the case until they got in the car. Lin Mei asked, "Do you think the suspect is a flower lover?"

Su Xiuran nodded: "I'm just guessing. According to the stall owner, the cornflower six years ago might have been bought by him...but now it's basically certain that the murderer planted it himself."

As he spoke, he paused for a moment: "If I'm not mistaken, the case six years ago was not committed by him premeditatedly, but an accidental crime due to many coincidences. Lots of clues."

Lin Mei nodded, knowing that what he is most suspicious of now is the college student who appeared on the scene six years ago. Judging from the time, he should have graduated from college, even if he is a graduate student, he should have finished his studies. If he didn't continue to study for a doctorate, he should be working now .

She thought about it, and then thought of his hypnosis to Zhang Guo, and asked with a smile: "You can still hypnotize, why didn't you say it before? Living with a hypnotist, I am under too much pressure."

Su Xiuran glanced at her, and raised the corners of his lips: "I don't know how to do it."

Yu Qizhen also laughed while driving: "Sure enough, even Lin Mei has been fooled! How can he hypnotize, at most it's just some psychological hints."

Lin Mei remembered the process of investigating the case today, and a sentence suddenly popped up in her mind: Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills.

In view of Lin Mei's surprise and curiosity, Su Xiuran explained to her with a smile: "I just used a little psychology and interrogation skills, the key is to let Zhang Guo actively cooperate so that I can ask the details of the year .”

Yu Qizhen also nodded beside him: "Yes, when Mr. Su first entered, we called it to deter the suspect, first let him feel that you are authoritative and capable."

Lin Mei understood a little bit, and suddenly realized after listening: "And Xiu Ran not only put pressure on him, but also gave him a hope that he can be exonerated. After receiving so many strong messages, he must be very excited."

Yu Qizhen replied: "Yes, so when Mr. Su told him that he could do hypnosis, his cooperation was beyond imagination. At this time, give him some hints in language and behavior, and he can easily hypnotize you. into a state of 'I'm hypnotized'."

At this time, Su Xiuran said lightly from the side: "In fact, I don't think there is hypnosis in the true sense. The so-called hypnosis is just the use of some cognitive strategies and psychological intentions."

Speaking of this, he sighed softly: "I can only be sorry for Zhang Guo, I want to get an answer from him as soon as possible, and he has formed a mindset in his years of interrogation and prison life, just like he himself said Yes, if you ask him again, he just recited the confession of the year. In order to let him break away from the confession and help him return to the real memory, this is the fastest way. Fortunately, It worked out pretty well."

Lin Mei nodded again and again, and then humbly asked for advice: "You and Yu Shi are in collusion? Why didn't you tell me? I thought you were so fierce, and you were almost scared."

Su Xiuran looked at her sideways, slightly bent her thin lips: "If you will be frightened, you would have been frightened away when we first met, right?"

Yu Qizhen laughed at the side: "We didn't pass the conspiracy, but Mr. Su and I have interrogated prisoners several times, and I know that he often surprises us by surprise. Speaking of which, Team Zhang told us that he brought so many students, so Su Mister's interrogation skills are the fastest and the best, if not for his face, the effect would be even better."

Lin Mei agreed very much: "Yeah, he's flickering and it's almost surprising, just blame his face..."

Yu Qizhen laughed: "Isn't that right, women will be distracted by watching it, and men will want to beat him when they see it!"

When Su Xiuran heard them chatting, he turned to his own face, so he was smart enough not to participate in their conversation, and leaned on the back of the chair with his eyes closed.

It was already five or six o'clock in the afternoon when Yu Qizhen sent Lin Mei and Su Xiuran home, so of course Lin Mei invited him to stay for dinner.

Yu Qizhen didn't see anyone else, but said that his wife was still waiting at home, and that he would come to have dinner another day, so he left with a smile.

After returning home, Lin Mei cut off the bouquet of white tulips and put them in a vase before starting to make dinner.

Su Xiuran was already getting better, so she was helping her in the kitchen. Lin Mei watched his figure dangling beside her, and couldn't help but sighed: "Don't blame me for my poor cooking skills tonight, it's all your fault. Standing next to me made it hard for me to concentrate."

Su Xiuran smiled slightly: "I obviously didn't do anything out of the ordinary."

Lin Mei squinted at him and said, "Even if your body pillow or a poster is erected here, it will affect me, okay?"

Su Xiuran responded softly, and then said in a low voice with a smile: "I thought you had always turned a blind eye to me."

He should be talking about the time when he was on the grassland and when he just came back, Lin Mei deliberately let herself ignore his existence, so as to maintain the distance between the two of them.

He was really narrow-minded and fond of holding grudges. He didn't mention that incident for a few days. Lin Mei thought he wouldn't talk about it anymore, so he dared to wait here.

She was speechless, and could only stir the batter in the bowl vigorously: "This girl has so much self-control, I have paid for everything in advance!"

As if admiring her frantic performance, Su Xiuran laughed softly, and his deep voice echoed in the kitchen like an electric current.

Lin Mei couldn't bear it any longer, she dropped the bowl in her hand, ran over and put her arms around his waist, raised her head to kiss his bent lips, and rubbed his chest twice by the way.

Su Xiuran hugged her back with kindness, chuckled in her ear and said, "If you keep doing this, I don't guarantee that I can maintain my gentlemanly demeanor."

Lin Mei glanced at him up and down, and sneered: "You're the one who's so fancy and useless, you fainted every minute and showed me the show? Tell you girl, I practiced taekwondo when I was in middle school, I'm afraid of you!"

The smile in Su Xiuran's eyes was almost overflowing, and his deep voice blew past her ears with a slight air current: "You can... try it."

Lin Mei admitted that she still couldn't have the acting skills of sending and receiving freely like him, and after blushing and breaking away from his arm, she reluctantly said something to find a way: "I dare not provoke you, you have such a high EQ, and you are so good at it." Huyou, who knows if your dejected and forbearing appearance a while ago was also just pretending!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, because Su Xiuran didn't answer, but just stood there and looked at her with a little smile.

But I don't know if it was her illusion, it seemed that even the lights in the kitchen were dimmed in an instant, and his eyes that were originally full of smile seemed to dim a bit.

After a while, he said softly, "Since I'm afraid I'll disturb you, I'll go out and wait first."

As soon as he turned around, Lin Mei rushed over, hugged his waist from behind, and apologized remorsefully: "Xiu Ran, I'm sorry, I didn't hold back my words, I was joking..."

Su Xiuran smiled gently, and lightly shook her hand on his waist: "It's okay, I know."

With this episode, Lin Mei kept sneaking glances at Su Xiuran while eating, until she sighed and looked up at her: "Why, even eating with me will disturb your attention ?"

Lin Mei hastily put down the spoon, and put the spoonful of porridge that was about to go up her nostrils back into the bowl.

Su Xiuran looked at her with a helpless smile, took a tissue and handed it to her, his tone was still very gentle: "The left cheek is stained, wipe it off yourself."

Lin Mei took it and said "Oh" embarrassingly. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on his expression, she carefully apologized: "I'm sorry."

Su Xiuran saw that she was still not moving, so he took the tissue again and wiped it off for her himself. His eyes were slightly lowered, and he smiled softly: "It's okay, you don't need to be so careful when talking together."

He paused slightly as he spoke, Lin Mei's heart tightened, she stared at him closely, and heard him say again: "Just don't make fun of my feelings."

His expression remained unchanged, and his tone was also calm: "It's not easy to admit that I'm in love with someone...it's the same for me."

Today I finally didn't have to go out to investigate at night, so Su Xiuran went upstairs to rest after dinner.

In order to match his schedule, Lin Mei returned to her bedroom with her laptop early to continue editing the manuscript.

Their rooms were close to each other, and the neighborhood was extremely quiet at night. Lin Mei edited a manuscript for a while, when she heard a faint cough from the next door.The voice was naturally very low, revealing a bit of deliberate depression.

Lin Mei thought for a while, put down the computer and knocked on his door, and a sentence came from inside: "The door is unlocked, come in."

Lin Mei pushed the door open and went in, and saw that he had turned off the headlights in the room, changed into pajamas and was half lying on the bed, although his face was a little tired, but he was holding a book in his hand, and the lamp beside the bed was on, Lin Mei came He should have been reading a bedtime book by the light before.

Su Xiuran closed the book in his hand and put it down, and waved to her with a smile: "What can I do for you?"

Lin Mei couldn't say that she was a little restless when she heard his coughing, she walked over and shook her head: "No, I want to see you."

The smile in his black eyes deepened, and he moved his body inward, motioning for her to lie beside him.

When they were on the grassland, no matter what, they slept in the same bed for several days. Lin Mei didn't feel uncomfortable with this level of intimacy, and lay down beside him naturally.

Lin Mei lay half-lying, propped her head on her hands, and looked at him sideways: "Xiu Ran, why do you think people can do those cruel things to their own kind?"

She was referring to this case. Judging from the clues she had, the college student who was watching was probably the first murder case, and the culprit of the murder case that just happened.

Regardless of whether there are conflicts of interest or other reasons, it is a fact that the murderer murdered two people premeditatedly.

Su Xiuran was silent for a while, and then said: "This world is always full of all kinds of maliciousness for no reason. Compared with those evil deeds, it is better to say that being kind all the time is a miracle."

Lin Mei thought for a while, then nodded: "You are right, I will write this sentence down, and I will make 'Su Xiu Quotations' in the future."

Su Xiuran smiled helplessly and shook his head: "Until now, I still feel that you like 'Su Xiu' more than me."

Lin Mei snickered: "I have liked Su Xiu for five years, and I have liked you for less than five months. How can I compare?"

There was some indulgence in Su Xiuran's smile: "Yes, I know, your willingness to accept me has a lot to do with me being 'Su Xiu'."

Lin Mei is very honest about this: "Before I met you, I thought I would only pay attention to and admire talented men. After I met you, I realized that I not only love talent, but also lust."

Su Xiuran raised his eyebrows: "Thank you for boasting that I have both talent and color."

Lin Mei laughed, and leaned over to kiss his cheek lightly. She wanted to kiss his thin lips a little, but she was always a little stage frightened. Even though the two had already recognized each other as lovers, she was still a little shy not to offend.

No wonder Su Xiuran was born with a face that was too clear and dazzling, and that gentle but always a bit cold temperament.

No matter how powerful Su Xiuran was, he still couldn't figure out her sensitive and delicate thoughts. He thought she was just shy, so he raised his hand and stroked her face with a smile, and said softly, "Why aren't you curious about the details of the case this time? Come to me to express your feelings?"

Lin Mei tilted her head slightly: "Anyway, you will always explain it to me when the time comes, and isn't it over? I want to try to speculate by myself."

The smile on Su Xiuran's lips deepened: "Then what is your guess?"

Lin Mei betrayed the truth, and hugged his extended arm with a smile: "Say it together tomorrow, let's compare it?"

Su Xiuran let her hold his arm, and let her play with his fingers again, and nodded with a smile: "Okay."

Lin Mei couldn't remember where their conversation ended, but after talking, she nestled next to him and fell asleep.

In the dream, she instinctively felt at ease and warm, as if she was in a blue but warm water, surrounded by the ubiquitous and boundless softness.

So when she was in a deep sleep, she didn't hear the murmur with a low sigh in her ear: "You really like to test me..."

The next day, Lin Mei woke up from a sweet dream, only to find that not only had she occupied more than half of the bed in a big open sleeping position, but also her arm was resting on Su Xiuran's chest, and her palm was even more so. Turning a corner strangely, it reached into the neckline of his pajamas, and placed it on the piece of skin on his chest without any hindrance.

So she took half a minute to seriously think about why she couldn't wake up happily in his arms in a sweet and cuddly posture since she climbed into her boyfriend's bed, but wanted to be a strong woman The image of the plus female satyr wakes up so tragically.

Although it is said that there are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life, it is difficult for her to enlighten herself with such errors!

Su Xiuran obviously woke up a long time ago, and said with a soft smile, "Morning."

Lin Meiqiang calmly withdrew her hand, and sat up in a graceful posture that would take her half her life without changing her expression, then turned around and smiled at him, "Morning."

It's a pity that the face she insisted on was ruined by Su Xiuran's malicious laughter after a second. He smiled very viciously and rolled his eyes. His expression clearly saw through her embarrassment and entanglement. Qingyue's laughter continued It was so loud that he had to raise his hand to half cover his lips.

Lin Mei felt that this day... was simply unbearable.

Fortunately, even though Su Xiuran laughed heartily, he didn't dare to say anything after receiving her annoyed look.

Not long after they got up and had breakfast, Yu Qizhen drove them to the police station.

After Su Xiuran explained the case to Zhang Yan, he left and prepared to take Lin Mei home.

Lin Mei asked puzzledly, "Aren't we going to follow up later?"

Su Xiuran shook his head: "With a clear clue, the police will deal with it."

Yu Qizhen was responsible for sending them back, and after hearing Lin Mei's words, he explained: "Mr. Su is not a member of the police after all. In order to protect his privacy and safety, we try not to let him go out to work." He smiled cheerfully, " We can't let the suspect know of Mr. Su's existence, if there is any retaliation, just come to us."

Lin Mei couldn't help admiring this energetic little policeman: "I really haven't thought about it that way, thank you for taking care of me."

Yu Qizhen laughed: "It's all as it should be, you're welcome."

After returning home, Su Xiuran made coffee for Lin Mei and a cup of black tea for himself, sat leisurely on the sofa in the living room, and smiled at her: "Do you want to confirm each other's inferences?"

Lin Mei was full of energy. She participated in the whole process of this investigation. Although Su Xiuran didn't tell her the answer directly, he didn't hide anything from her. The information they both got was equal.

Under such conditions, if she can deduce the cause and effect and find clues to catch the real murderer, doesn't it mean that she already possesses the basic qualities of a professional detective?

Lin Mei immediately became excited, but she forced herself to calm down, and after sorting out her thoughts, she said to Su Xiuran: "First of all, I think that the case six years ago was a random crime, but what happened now is actually a crime. It was planned for a long time."

Su Xiuran said that he wanted to confirm each other, so naturally he would not play tricks, smiled and nodded: "Our judgment on this is the same."

Lin Mei hit one point when she came up, and she became more energetic, and said: "I think that although the murderer left many loopholes in the case six years ago, and even left a witness, that is, Zhang who was framed by him, China, but now this seemingly flawless case with no clues is the key to deduce his identity—since it is a conspiracy, there must be a plan."

Su Xiuran nodded with a smile: "I agree with that too."

Lin Mei boldly deduced further: "Zhang Guo said that the person at the scene of the crime was a college student, so six years later, he is very likely to have worked, and he may even be in the company where the second victim works... the company she worked for , is a real estate company."

Su Xiuran looked at her with a smile: "Yes, it's a real estate company."

Lin Mei spread her hands: "I haven't studied architecture, but I think it would be much easier for a person who has studied architecture to kill people through falling objects than someone without professional knowledge in this field.

"And the murderer has an engineering background...he chose blue cornflowers. Generally, everyone would understand the meaning he wanted to express from the flower language of cornflowers, but most people ignored it. Cornflowers It is the national flower of Germany.

"The rigor of German industry has always been admired and even deified. The reason why the murderer loves cornflowers so much may not be because of the flower language of cornflowers, but because he yearns for or has been to study in Germany."

She finished speaking in one breath, and added: "Of course, these are all my bold guesses, and it is inevitable that they are different from the facts, but considering some factors, I think it is very likely that the murderer has studied and worked in the construction industry. "

Su Xiuran picked up his teacup and took a sip of black tea: "The real estate company is not directly engaged in the construction of real estate, but only invests in it, but the real estate company must have business contacts with construction companies, architectural design institutes and other institutions. Even in the recruitment When selling, they also tend to choose graduates with professional backgrounds.”

Lin Mei nodded again and again: "That's right, so the scope of the murderer can be basically delineated as the second female victim's colleagues who had been in contact with on a daily basis. Those who can benefit indirectly or directly from her death are the most suspected."

Speaking of which, it is actually very easy to delineate the suspects. It is easy to check the files and have the police come forward.Follow this line of thinking, and within a few days, key suspects will be arrested.

Lin Mei said with emotion: "Thinking about it this way, the murderer is actually pretty stupid. If it weren't for this blue cornflower, maybe the case six years ago would not have been exposed and a potential witness would not have been left behind. Even if the police suspect him in one incident, they may give up if they can’t find definite evidence.”

Su Xiuran put down the teacup in his hand and smiled slightly: "So the greatest stupidity comes from arrogance."

Lin Mei thought so too, maybe it was the conclusion of the case six years ago that made him relax his vigilance, maybe it was the accidental escape after the murder that gave him an inflated self-confidence, thinking that he could escape the law.That's why there was this murder, and that provocative blue cornflower...Maybe until now, he is still making fun of himself and making fun of the police for being complacent, but he doesn't know that he has been gradually drawn in... The big net is locked.

Lin Mei thought, sighed, turned to look at Su Xiuran, and smiled: "Is there anything else you need to tell me?"

Su Xiuran narrowed his eyes slightly, and shook his head: "Others are just some details, which do not affect the overall judgment of the case... Your intuition is very accurate, and this is the quality of a qualified detective."

To Lin Mei, he was able to say this, which was beyond ordinary meaning. She immediately became happy, her face flushed and she covered her mouth and snickered.

As they expected, a few days later the police arrested the sales manager of the company where the second female victim worked on suspicion of intentional homicide.

Although he is doing sales now, he is a student who graduated from the Department of Architecture. The second female victim is his main competitor.Next, collect criminal evidence and ask Zhang Guo to identify whether he is the suspect six years ago. This is all done by the police, so there is no need for them to intervene.

However, there was one detail that Su Xiuran specifically passed on to Lin Mei, that is, after graduating from a bachelor's degree, the suspect had applied for a postgraduate degree in architecture from a German university, but in the end he had to give up because his family was relatively poor.

From Lin Mei's point of view, she couldn't understand how that young man could be so ruthless. Not only could he kill a person on a whim, but he could also kill a colleague in order to fight for a little profit.

It is precisely because they cannot understand them that when reasoning the case, it is more difficult to have to put oneself into the perspective of the murderer and look at the world through their eyes.

Just participating in a case with Su Xiuran, she understood why Su Xiuran would show that kind of look of sympathy when he guessed the result, and why his books always showed his love for all the people in the world. Feeling sad.
