Xiao Liu glanced at me, but did not answer this crucial question. Xiao Liu must also understand that there are two most important points in this case. If these two points are resolved, the case will be solved easily. One of them is whether the murderer is one person or multiple people, and one of them is what the murderer's motivation is.
At this moment, Xiao Liu said that he has figured out the second point, and at the same time, he is sure that his idea of the first point is correct. In that case, Xiao Liu is very close to the truth. That's why Xiao Liu said in front of so many team members that he was able to find the truth before me. After all, if I find the murderer first, then Xiao Liu's words will be slapped back on his own in the end. face.
Seeing Xiao Liu hesitate to speak, I also know that Xiao Liu wants to catch the murderer first, and I also know that Xiao Liu firmly believes that he can arrest the murderer before he kills again. But if you tell me this key point, I may catch the murderer earlier than him, which is definitely what Xiao Liu doesn't want to see. Sometimes friends are like this, they can be rich together, but if only one person is rich, then you can only say sorry to the other person.
But since it's like this, I can't say anything more.
I fell silent again, looked outside and saw that the night was pitch black, and I said, "Go to sleep, tomorrow is a new day. No matter who catches the murderer, as long as the murderer can be caught as soon as possible, No one will die anymore, which is perhaps the most important thing we should consider."
Although I said that, after lying on the bed for more than an hour, I still couldn't fall asleep. After thinking about it, since I couldn't sleep, I might as well come out and smoke a cigarette to think about the direction of the case. Climbing on the railing and looking at the crescent moon, exhaling the smoke from his mouth into small circles, the night was peaceful.
It's about two o'clock in the morning.
There are already three stories, and according to the murderer's crime habits, the fourth story will appear by tonight at the latest. And at this moment, I also sincerely hope that Xiao Liu's thinking is correct, this time I was wrong, at least in this way, Xiao Liu can successfully catch the murderer, and then fewer people will die.
It's just that Xiao Liu didn't tell me what the connection between the several victims is, and what characteristics do they have in common
Quietly smoking a cigarette, a door next to him was pulled open, and Gu Chen came out from behind the door. I saw him wearing a singlet and shorts. In early spring, when it was warm and cold, the temperature was not high, but Gu Chen seemed to be completely unaffected. He walked in front of me while moving his body.
I threw a cigarette over, and Gu Chen stretched out his two fingers, clamping the cigarette impartially.
I said softly: "Lu Xiaofeng, a consonant finger?"
Gu Chen smiled, lit a cigarette and said, "I watched an episode of Lu Xiaofeng's Legend when I was free at night, and found that this trick is really cool."
I shook my head, looked at Gu Chen and said, "It's okay for you to hold a cigarette with your hands, but try to hold a dagger with your fingers, it will cut off both of your fingers."
While smoking a cigarette, Gu Chen was doing one-handed push-ups on the railing: "Yeah, that's why I've always wanted to be a movie actor for a while, watching these martial arts masters flying high and high in movies, It is really an enviable thing to be a hero with peerless martial arts."
I looked at Gu Chen's face, and said regretfully, "So it's because of your bad looks? In fact, my dream when I was young was to be a hero. Later, I didn't learn the right major, so I gave up..."
Gu Chen laughed, and said, "Don't tell me, someone really asked me to be the leading role in a movie, but I didn't go. I prefer to help and protect people in reality, compared to the acting of chivalry. Those in need. Although they are not as admirable and unrestrained as they are on TV, they are still real heroes, so the heroes in my heart are not so vague."
I suddenly remembered a question that Team Leader Shao once asked me: "Why do you want to do this business?"
At this moment, I throw this question to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen took a puff of cigarette, was silent for a moment and then said: "When I was very young, I wanted to be a hero, to be admired by others, to be able to punish rape and eradicate evil, and to be a hero like Guo Jing. I have always wanted to be a hero. Remember that saying, the great chivalrous man serves the country and the people."
"But I found out later that there are no such great heroes in this era." As if thinking of his own childhood, Gu Chen scratched his head and smiled: "My parents are both farmers. When I went to a big hospital in the city to see a doctor, my father held 10,000 yuan in his hand. He was afraid of being stolen, so he held it firmly in his hand. He thought that it would be impossible to take the money away from him. Bar."
I nodded, this was the first time I heard Gu Chen tell the story of his childhood.
Gu Chen smiled and said: "At that time, 10,000 yuan was a lot of money. It was the money my parents saved for many years. But although the thief couldn't steal it, the robber didn't think so. Let's see On the train, my parents were surrounded by several people. They had knives in their hands and cornered my parents, demanding money or life.”
"How did your parents do it?" I was a little curious.
Gu Chen said: "That's the money for medical treatment. If you don't have money, you're dead. If you have life, if you don't have money, you're dead. My father knelt down to those people, saying that the money is money for medical treatment, but it doesn't help. It doesn’t matter what you use the money for. You beat me up and took the money away.”
"My father was beaten badly, but he still hugged one of his thighs tightly, holding him tightly. He is in the money, unless he is dead. I have never seen such a person who wants money but not life. The knife stabbed my father in the arm. But my father just refused to let go."
"I was about to kill me, but a person appeared. Like a hero who was a chivalrous hero, he chased the money back and sent my parents to the hospital. My parents always mentioned this matter to me later, although in the That person seems to be just a trivial matter, and it won't even take long for two honest farmers who were robbed of money on the streets of the city to be completely forgotten."
Gu Chen crushed the cigarette butt on the railing, looked at me, and said seriously: "So I worked hard all the way, and you never know that one of my actions can change a family's life."
"Although some people always say that this job is dangerous and thankless, many times it is always maliciously speculated and abused by people." When he said this, Gu Chen's words were straight, with an unquestionable tone in his tone. Majesty: "But we are guardians."
Gu Chen said loudly: "People are divided into good and evil. There are good people and there are bad people. There are kind and gentle people and there are crazy and cruel people. Just like in this world, there is day and night, and there is light and darkness. And we, a With one foot in the light and one foot in the darkness, I use my body to block the erosion of darkness. I can't guarantee that others will never encounter darkness in their life, but they will always know in the end that there will always be something like People like us have gone on and on, trying to push the darkness where they can't see it."
Every word Gu Chen said touched my heartstrings, and I couldn't help feeling a sense of pride in being Gu Chen's partner. But as Gu Chen said, people in this line of work have seen too much darkness and the complexity of human nature. I don't know if they can turn their backs to the darkness and welcome the light in the end.
At night, Gu Chen's heartfelt words made me understand that there are always some people who will never change their beliefs.
Perhaps seeing the silence in the atmosphere, Gu Chen patted my shoulder and asked, "What about you?"
I was silent for a moment, still not knowing how to answer. Many times, I can't stand the restraint, and I can't do the decisiveness that Team Leader Shao mentioned to me several times.
I also often ask myself.
But so far, I still can't answer this question.
"Actually, I want to be an actor more." I laughed out loud, avoiding: "That kind of acting."
Gu Chen was not surprised that I didn't have a positive answer, but said: "It's not easy to be an actor, at least you have to be able to act like what you want. If you don't carefully ponder a character's psychology, emotions, and a character's experience, I'm afraid I can't act well, or I heard that many actors shut themselves in the house for many days in order to play a role well, and really live as the characters in the movie. I can’t play, and I thought I was really that person in the movie.”
When Gu Chen said this, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I thought of a point in my mind that I had been ignoring all the time, and it was always in front of our eyes.
"Gu Chen." I looked at Gu Chen and said seriously: "Tell me, is there really someone in this world who would treat himself as someone else, or even have no way to play?"
Gu Chen looked at me suspiciously, and then said, "Yes, I just said that."
"The most perfect actor is when you think you are someone else, and you can't even find out yourself, so it's even harder for others to find out." I looked at Gu Chen and said, "Xiao Liu's investigation is definitely in the wrong direction." Yes, there are many murderers, but I am the only one!"
