No.14 Disciple: Death Puzzle

Chapter 4 Trading
Ten minutes later, An Youlin put the photos Zhuo Qingshan gave him, the map of Xijing City and the walkie-talkie into a black leather bag and walked into the interrogation room.The interrogation room was designated by An Youlin in advance. A large rectangular metal table was fixed in the center of the room. According to his request, only lights that could illuminate the suspect Guo Keji and the table in front of him were left in the interrogation room.

Next door, Zhuo Qingshan sat beside You Tao, watching the situation in the interrogation room through the single-sided glass.Sitting in the front row were Director Zhao Hongjun, Luo Gang and other bureau leaders. Zhao Hongjun and Luo Gang talked in low voices from time to time.Not long after, everyone saw An Youlin staggering into the interrogation room. Handcuffed Guo Keji sat on a chair with his head tilted, looking at An Youlin contemptuously.An Youlin stood on the other side of the metal table, and Guo Keji could only see his loose tie and wrinkled white shirt.Guo Keji looks exactly the same as in the profile photo, he looks bored and bored with everything.He tilted his head slightly to the right and pursed his lips in an increasingly contemptuous manner.An Youlin calmly put the old leather bag on the table, first took out the stack of photos and put them in the center of the table, then the map folded into a square, and finally Guo Keji's information.An Youlin picked up the stack of photos, looked at them one by one, and arranged them on a certain position on the table after each one.One after another, neither rush nor delay, very leisurely, An Youlin seemed to have to go through all the details of each photo before giving up. It took An Youlin more than half an hour to arrange more than 20 photos.Zhuo Qingshan looked at An Youlin's actions in confusion, her mind was already in a daze.The light can only shine on the jagged stubble on An Youlin's chin.There were already people yawning softly around, Luo Gang turned his face and stared at the yawner severely, the yawning stopped abruptly and never appeared again.

An Youlin arranged all the photos, and carefully looked at the photos on the metal table again, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a smile.Immediately afterwards, he opened the folded square map, leaned his back firmly on the chair, and flipped through each area, even the street names.

Time passed by, Luo Gang and Zhao Hongjun turned their heads and whispered from time to time, Zhuo Qingshan and other colleagues around were puzzled by what happened in the interrogation room.

At this time, Guo Keji was no longer as calm as when he saw An Youlin walk into the interrogation room an hour ago.He frowned tightly, his eyes fixed on An Youlin who was across the table, and an air of impatience surrounded Guo Keji.

"Do you policemen only look at maps?" Guo Keji asked in a contemptuous tone.At this time, An Youlin was staring at the location of the garbage disposal site on the map. "I'm not a policeman, and I'm not here to interrogate you. I'm just here to answer the questions you asked Captain Luo." An Youlin didn't look at Guo Keji, his eyes were fixed on the map all the time.After hearing An Youlin's words, Guo Keji immediately became interested: "Answer the question? You? You don't have the guts to face up to me, a murderous maniac, and you are capable of answering it?" After speaking, Guo Keji sneered mockingly twice.You Tao clenched his fists angrily. Although he had participated in the interrogation, every time he saw Guo Keji's perverted face, he wanted to punch that distorted face hard.An Youlin let out a "puchi" laugh, his beard-covered chin tilted. He put the map in front of him with a smile, sat still, and displayed the photos of the crime scene in the documents one by one. "Oh? You went through so much trouble, took off your underpants, put on your hood, and murdered you, but in the end you ran to the police station and surrendered." An Youlin suddenly lowered his voice and leaned forward, "I said brother Ah, I heard that you broke the news with the media before you surrendered! However, only I know your real purpose!"

An Youlin's face finally emerged from the darkness, and his smile was sly and full of sarcasm.Guo Keji finally saw the face of the person he was talking to, but he was unwilling to accept the other party's ridicule. He let out a long breath through his nose: "My purpose? How do you know?"

"I can be sure that you are the real culprit in the Yuye serial murder case." "What about the evidence? Did you make a mistake?" Guo Keji said with a smile, "Whether I am the murderer or not is not up to you. It was me!" An Youlin ignored Guo Keji and said, "Then I will answer the questions you asked Captain Luo one by one, starting with the reason why you killed the victim. I visited you at noon today. The company I work for, tsk tsk tsk, you are really pitiful. You are unknown in the company, and your colleagues don’t remember you. The company is not big, but you will never be noticed, even if you do the wrong job. People have any impression of you, even if it is a bad impression."

Guo Keji stared at An Youlin with rounded eyes, but An Youlin refused to meet his eyes. He just lowered his head and stared at the photos that had been placed on the table before.

"You live alone in an old residential area in the city. The residents living there, how should I put it, should be very tasteless in your eyes. They are a group of small citizens who only know how to chew their tongues. Believe the rumors circulating on the Internet, Rumors that can be debunked with a little common sense, isn’t it painful for you to live in the same residential area as them?”

Guo Keji clenched his teeth, his eyes straightened, and his cheeks bulged. "You are very demanding on the quality of life. The house you rent is tidy and tidy, and you have all the household appliances. You are more particular about the quality of life than other people living in the same residential area. You think you should be better than others. More attention, at least those residents living nearby, of course, should take you as the life orientation, and envy your exquisite and tasteful life. Am I right?

"But no one pays attention to you. I have seen your neighbors, a group of old men who often sit in the small shop downstairs and play chess. When I saw them, they were chewing their tongues, but even such gossip old men, It was only after you were arrested that you didn’t notice that there was someone like you living nearby.”

An Youlin stopped. Although he stopped for less than two seconds, Guo Keji couldn't wait.

"You are too small and humble. You have worked for the company in obscurity for four years. During this period, the people who joined the company at the same time as you either got promoted or changed jobs. Only you are still a small employee. You I have lived on Xining Road for four years, except for the landlord, almost no one is aware of your existence.

"You want to be noticed, you want others to notice you. That's why you killed the victim! You chose a low-level and clumsy way to commit the murder—letting the victim take off his pants and put it on his head, nothing more than In order to prove that the case was committed by the same person. It’s so pitiful that people kill people in such a meaningless and formal way, tsk tsk tsk.”

Guo Keji clenched his hands tightly, and the handcuffs collided between his hands. "Every night you go to that room that you think is extremely solemn, you open the door that separates you from other mediocre eyes, you turn on the record player and sit on the chair, you stare at the picture frame on the wall..."

An Youlin stood up, leaned forward slightly, fixed his eyes on Guo Keji, and slowly slid his fingers across the photo.Guo Keji's eyes were following An Youlin's fingers, and his complexion became more and more ugly. From time to time, he raised his face to look up at An Youlin, his eyes wandering between the photo on the desktop and An Youlin's smile.

Guo Keji recognized that the photos on the desktop were placed in the order and position of the photo frames on the wall of his home, and he seemed to be back in that room.

Clap clap!An Youlin clapped his hands several times in a row, bang bang bang!Guo Keji's breathing became rapid, his eyeballs kept rolling, and a drop of sweat trickled down from his forehead. "This is the audio stored in the record player, right? Applause! What you need is applause. And in these photos of you hanging on the wall, everyone's eyes are looking at you. You long to be watched in the applause!"

Facing An Youlin's exposure like a sharp knife peeling skin, Guo Keji was at a loss as to what to do. He swallowed excitedly, his hands trembling in the handcuffs.

"Just like you contacted the major media in Xijing City the night before you surrendered, you hope that the case you committed will not go silent! You are eager to get attention!" Guo Keji sneered twice, and said: "That's right! I've succeeded, and now everyone knows me! Everyone knows that I, Guo Keji, is the murderer of the murder case!" "No, no, no! You're wrong, your correct name in the media is, Guo-XX-XX!" An Youlin smiled, "Oh, you haven't been able to access the Internet since you came in, have you? Have you read today's newspaper?"

Guo Keji's expression froze. "The police just want to solve the case as soon as possible, but you want to attract attention. I am not a policeman, I was just hired to solve the problem. How about we make a deal?" Guo Keji quickly raised his face to face An Youlin . "I know that the garbage disposal site and the unnamed river are not places where murder weapons were discarded at all." An Youlin went on to say, "You are a smart person, just from the fact that you contacted the media before you surrendered, you You should be ready for the transaction, right?"

"How do you want to trade?" Guo Keji seemed very interested in An Youlin's proposal.
