Du Chengming showed a happy look on his face: "There are only two of us, so we can do a lot of things. For example, we can try it out, will psychologists get phobias? Do you know how to overcome fear? , then I have to find a way to break your overcoming, and you have to continue to find a way to strengthen your overcoming. Well, what is more scary than being buried in a coffin? We can try it out then. I am also about doing psychological experiments very interested."
Maybe he's interested in torturing others. Su Xiaopei squeezed his hand tightly, forcing himself not to look away from him because he was too disgusting.
Du Chengming glanced at Su Xiaopei and smiled: "Look, we've been dealing with each other a few times, it's boring to go back and forth in secret, but it's not fun, it's better to be face-to-face like this. When do you think the people outside will be gone? Will you find out that you are gone? It will be found in one hour, or two hours later, or will it take longer? I guess, the official is not in a hurry, and it should be your strong man who will be found in the end. It’s a pity, I can’t I saw the expression on Ran Feize's face when he opened the coffin. You must also want to see it, right? After all, you probably won't have the chance to see him again. The last time you looked at him, what was he doing? "
Su Xiaopei didn't speak, but her mind couldn't help but follow his words. She saw Ran Feize for the last time. When she stepped into the coffin, he stood straight in the distance and stared at her in that direction. eyeshadow. Su Xiaopei squeezed his fingers hard, telling himself to concentrate.
Su Xiaopei's silence and non-response did not affect Du Chengming's mood, he was still in high spirits and continued to say: "Last time, you disappeared in a room full of blood, this time, you disappeared in the underground coffin, How interesting, what do you think they would think? Ah, that witch is gone again. Is she dead again?" He pretended to act in an exaggerated tone, and then he paused: "I should prepare a bucket of blood It's a shame to pour it into a coffin to enhance the visual effect."
"The strong man will find out the problem with the coffin, he will know that you robbed me, and he will find me." Su Xiaopei finally spoke.
"Because he knows that there is a secret room under the nunnery and temple?" Du Chengming laughed: "The one I dug new leads to the outside of the nunnery. If he really finds the problem with the coffin, he will run to the outside of the nunnery if he really finds the problem with the coffin. Go. You said, after chasing outside the nunnery, wouldn't he be anxious to find people to search everywhere, looking for traces of me and you in the mountains? Going down the exit is a small path, the path goes north, leading to the official Dao, if he catches up there, he will know that there is a vast sea of people, and he has nowhere to look for you."
Su Xiaopei said lightly: "He will find that there is no trace of you escaping in the forest, and he will return to the nunnery to find me."
Du Chengming stopped laughing, he thought for a while, nodded, and had to admit that there was such a possibility. Although ordinary people would follow common sense, Ran Feize knew that his opponent was not ordinary. Maybe he really put aside the mountain road he was chasing all the way, and turned to look closely at the traces in the forest. If he was carrying a person on his back, the footprints would definitely be deeper, the mud leaves that he stepped on, the broken branches that he stepped on, and if he searched carefully, he should have seen it. But he didn't go there, so naturally he wouldn't leave those traces.
"He knows that there is a secret room, he will come down to find me, and will catch you." Su Xiaopei said again.
Du Chengming shook his head: "He can't find it."
"He can find it, he's smarter than you can imagine."
"Really?" Du Chengming smiled: "Then let's wait and see. Anyway, there is time, the first hour should be coming soon, let's wait and see." He turned around and took a large from the corner of the room. Hourglass, the mouth of the sandglass is very thin, the sand flows very slowly, but there is not much sand left in the upper layer.
"The props are quite well prepared." Su Xiaopei mocked him: "It's a coffin, an hourglass, and an authentic one. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not easy. It took me a lot of thought to pick up on your move in such a short time. You see, we really have a good understanding of each other. You ran here quite a bit because you wanted me to choose this place, so I chose it. Here, I also prepared a surprise for you, are you happy? Do you think I will only kill one like the previous few times, and then put it in front of the Buddha and tell you that this is the fourth one? No, no, no, that's too much There is nothing new. I am a creative person, and I must surprise you. You have found Ran Feize's friends in the rivers and lakes to stare at it. I know, I have seen them all. I walked around the nunnery. Did you also consider this? You thought I would let people find a target in this nunnery and then start. The person I was looking for must be a man, who is incompatible with this place, so it will be conspicuous. , your people must be able to see it, can you prevent it?" Du Chengming shrugged and spread his hands: "You guys are staring so hard, I'm really not good at starting, so I changed the way of playing. Don't sneak | touch Come on, a group of robbers rushed in, did you ever think that I would be like this?"
"No." Su Xiaopei replied flatly.
Du Chengming smiled smugly, and asked again, "Have you ever thought that I would dig a secret passage and make a coffin?"
"No."
"Then, do you want to know how I did it? In such a short period of time, I arranged all this, and I avoided the eyes and ears of your arrangement, and even my sister-in-law in the nunnery didn't notice it."
Su Xiaopei didn't speak, she was thinking, she thought for a while, and spit out two words: "Craftsman."
Du Chengming's eyes were bright, and he giggled: "Yes, it's a craftsman. Xiaopei, you haven't been in this world long enough, and you still don't understand some things. Every temple and nunnery needs to be renovated and maintained, especially those like Ning Ning. Fu'an hides a secret room underground, and it needs to be checked and repaired from time to time. I only need to ask a little, and I can find out which craftsman is doing this. It is not only the abbot of the temple that knows the secrets of the underground, in fact The craftsmen know better. Of course, it is not easy to ask these things from the artisans' mouths, and it is not easy to ask them to help them, but who taught me to be the head arresting adults, dressed in official uniforms and swords, and told them about the danger of a woman's murder , the government urgently needed a secret | disposal arrangement, and they believed it. Not only did they help dig the secret way, but they were also willing to leave the mountain to keep the secret."
Su Xiaopei couldn't hold back, he closed his eyes, those craftsmen died now, right
"You understand me." Du Chengming was very happy to see her weak performance. "It's not too difficult to kill someone."
"You can't kill anyone you want." Su Xiaopei said in a stern voice.
"Really?" Du Chengming smiled softly: "Tell me, for example, who? I like challenging things."
Su Xiaopei looked at the hourglass, the time has not yet come, she has to keep her composure, lest he has any tricks she doesn't know about, if he knows the weakness of his arrangement and corrects it in time, it will not be good for her. She didn't answer him, she only satirized him: "Does the so-called love of challenges mean to kill all those who hinder you?"
"Didn't I kill you?" he asked back. "I want to keep you and let you challenge me. That's the fun. But Luo Linger is ignorant. I just contacted you, and when I was in high spirits, she hurt me. But in the end you came back. , this is really a surprise. I originally thought, if you are gone, I will go play with Ran Feize, he seems to be very interesting. I took advantage of Luo Linger's death to catch up with Qin Dezheng, and then use him to go together Looking for Ran Feize, I want to see what his expression looks like when he hears that you are dead. If his reaction is satisfactory to me, then I will try a few tricks with him, but I didn't see it, but I saw you. You are back. Say Here, how did you come back? Luo Linger killed you, this is indeed a fact."
"Who are you?" Su Xiaopei continued to ask without answering him.
Du Chengming didn't answer her, stared at her for a while, then smiled again: "This is where the fun lies, Xiao Pei, we all have secrets, and we all have points to attract each other's attention."
Su Xiaopei did not speak, she restrained herself, she knew the strategy of conversation, silence, or content, and even speed of speech were one of the means. She had to hold her head, he was right in front of her, she had to concentrate, she had to win.
Seeing that Su Xiaopei did not respond, Du Chengming was silent for a moment. Then he said: "I'm not in a hurry, Xiao Pei, I know what you're thinking, I know what you want to do, but it's useless." He smiled, quite confident: "It's really useless."
Su Xiaopei was very calm, and she smiled at him.
Wrestling, in silence and smiles.
Finally, Su Xiaopei spoke first. "Who are you?" she asked.
Du Chengming laughed, and Su Xiaopei spoke first to make him feel that he had a small victory. He deliberately didn't answer, but said: "When I first arrived here, I almost thought I was crazy. What is this place? It's not any dynasty in history, it's not a fictional fantasy, and I'm not reincarnated, but..." He turned his head slightly and thought about the words, "I have been reborn and become another person, but I am still me, or even better, I know martial arts, have an official position, and have many things that can be used. Of course, I adapt to these. It took me a while, but my calligraphy is pretty good, which is much better than yours, otherwise, it's really hard to explain how I wrote ugly characters after a serious illness."
"How did you die there?" Su Xiaopei asked, silently jotting down in his heart: he has studied calligraphy, understands psychology, and is dead.
Du Chengming still didn't answer, and continued: "I thought I would be the most special one in this world, so I felt lonely. I have done many things, and I have taught many people how to find fun and how to release their potential. And desire, I'm very successful, just like before. It's just that exciting things don't happen every day, and I also feel bored. Until one day, I received news that there was a strange girl with short hair and a strange accent , talking nonsense. She helped a small town solve a case, she said one word to the girl who was victimized in the case, Stockholm syndrome. She also gave a criminal mental portrait of the serial rape and murder murderer."
"Liu Xiang."
"Yes, it was Liu Xiang's message. He couldn't even remember the word, what kind of rubbing he wrote. But I knew it at a glance. I had a companion here. You don't know how much I was at that time. Excited. Not only a fellow, but also a like-minded companion. Psychology is an interesting subject, and I have always been interested. Later, I knew it was you who came, and it was you.”
"Have you seen me? Do you know me? Who are you?" Su Xiaopei asked again.
Du Chengming shook his head and smiled again: "It's a little mysterious, it will increase the fun between us. It's like I write you an English letter but you don't know who did this kind of thing, how interesting. By the way, who is Cheng Jiangyi? What, another companion?"
Su Xiaopei ignored his question and didn't answer. Du Chengming asked again, "How do you know it's mine?"
Su Xiaopei did not answer. Du Chengming smiled and poured a cup of tea for himself and her. "Don't be so tired to guard against me, I won't go out, I'll just sit here and watch you. We're going to sit here for a long time, and the time will pass very slowly if we don't chat."
It was a good coax, Su Xiaopei thought to himself, but unfortunately she doesn't eat this trick. She lowered her eyes, seemed to think for a while, and then asked him, "How about you? How do you know that I doubt you?"
"Feeling. Or should I say, intuition. In the words of your justice police, the criminal's intuition."
"You're quite proud?" Su Xiaopei mocked him again.
"Have a hatred for evil, Xiaopei." Du Chengming's soft voice, like coaxing a child, caused Su Xiaopei to get goosebumps, it was really disgusting.
"Speak as if you know me well."
"I know very well."
"How much do you know?"
Du Chengming smiled: "I know your purpose, you just want to infer my identity from how I know you know you."
"Don't you like challenges?"
Du Chengming laughed. "I would also like to know how you did it?"
"Resurrection from the dead?"
"right."
Su Xiaopei also smiled: "We traversers have the ability, don't you know?"
Du Chengming's smile slowly stopped. He stared at Su Xiaopei for a long time, and Su Xiaopei looked back at him. After a while, he suddenly turned his eyes away, glanced at the hourglass, and said softly, "Dear, it's time."
Su Xiaopei also looked at the hourglass, the last strand of fine sand was sliding down.
Du Chengming reached out and turned the hourglass over, the sand began to leak again, and the second hour started to count.
"It's time for them to release the hostages. Only one." He emphasized the number, with pride in his eyes.
"It's time for the strong man to find out the problem. You know that breaking your promise will anger him and you want to do it, which means that you have no scruples." Su Xiaopei was expressionless, speaking in a flat tone.
"Really? What will he do then?"
"He will take all the robbers, and then find the mechanism of the coffin, and then he will come to me."
"How to take it down? There are hostages in the three courtyards. Before the officials rush in, the robbers will kill all the hostages."
Su Xiaopei saw that Du Chengming didn't speak, and the pride in Du Chengming's eyes finally faded away, "How to win it?" He asked again.
"You look down on women." Su Xiaopei said slowly: "In all the cases you have directed, women are either victims or tools, you are flawed, you kill your wife, you don't visit your daughter, you There are no women around. I have observed you. When you were in Wuzhen, there were women who appeared, no matter if they were passersby, girls, or female disciples in the martial arts sect. The disdain shown is actually fear, don't you know?"
"I'm looking directly at you now, I've been looking at you. From Ning'an City to Wuzhen, from that world to this world, Su Xiaopei, don't be self-righteous." Du Chengming was a little irritated, but after he said these words, He also discovered that he was out of control, and Su Xiaopei could see that he was restraining.
In modern times he is watching her? Su Xiaopei silently wrote it down. She continued: "Because of this problem of yours, you keep an eye on the friends of all sects around the strong man, but you don't pay attention to the female sects in the rivers and lakes. You can observe that there are men and heroes outside this nunnery watching, but they don't. I noticed that the nuns in the nunnery have changed."
Du Chengming was stunned for a moment, but smiled quickly: "Very good, Xiaopei, you used the arrangement outside the nunnery to attract my attention, but you did things inside the nunnery. I was really negligent, I really didn't pay attention to those sisters-in-law. ." He shrugged, spread his hands, and strengthened his tone: "They are not important."
"They will take down all the robbers, then the strong men will find me, the robbers will identify you, and if you take on this case, the previous cases can be found out. In a word that you criminals are also familiar with, It's called following the vine."
Du Chengming laughed: "Unfortunately, the vine is broken, and the melon cannot be touched. Do you want the robbers to identify me? As long as you start with the robbers, the poison in their bodies will be released, and if you can take them down, Just corpses."
Su Xiaopei was stunned, Du Chengming looked at her and smiled: "As I said, killing people to silence this kind of thing will not be too difficult. Even if you don't do anything with them, after they kill all the hostages, wait for the next hour, it will be poisonous. Fat dead. In any case, you can't let them identify me."
How could there be such a vicious arrangement? Su Xiaopei did not expect that she was speechless.
"It seems that we have a draw in this game." Du Chengming's face lost his smile: "The bloody scene I was looking forward to will not appear, and the hostages are not dead. I am indeed very unhappy. But you are one of them. My witnesses didn't stay, and I'm not a loser. What else is there? Will Ran Feize find you? "
"right."
Du Chengming smiled again: "Then let's wait and see."
Su Xiaopei didn't say a word, but had a waiting expression on his face. Du Chengming looked at her and smiled again: "You are so confident, it makes me nervous."
"yes?"
"Tell me, how can you follow me obediently and ignore that Ran Feize?"
Su Xiaopei didn't speak, and he wouldn't go with him if his head was mutilated by a donkey.
"What if I had your friends and someone you care about? Would you just obey?"
"Miss Sima?" Su Xiaopei asked back.
Du Chengming was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Listening to what you said, you must have taken precautions. Oops, what a pity, I actually don't work after this."
"She didn't come to the nunnery with her fellow students and sisters, just in case you noticed it from her side. She pretended to be a ghost to frighten Liu Xiang. You killed Liu Xiang, of course you knew she was involved, so we took precautions. That's right." Su Xiaopei observed his expression, "Did you send someone to arrest her? Did you deceive the person you sent to take poison?"
"That's not true." Du Chengming tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, thinking, "This seems to be a little troublesome."
Su Xiaopei was not careless. She was waiting for Du Chengming's words. He raised his head and asked her, "What about Tang Lian? Will you listen to me for her sake?"
Tang Lian? Su Xiaopei's face stiffened, she didn't expect Tang Lian at all.
Du Chengming smiled: "You gave me the inspiration, my dear, I never thought of her, Stockholm Syndrome. You found Luo Ping and reminded me. Sima Wanru is a girl who knows martial arts, and she can walk with you. Recently, of course, I wasn't that careless. I just tried my luck. The two people who went to arrest her didn't know me, or even who asked them to do things. No matter how much you try, they wouldn't be able to identify me. So," he said He waved his hand and said, "It's okay to catch you. How about it? Let's go back to Tang Lian, I guess you must have not considered her, and know why I am so sure?" He smiled gloomily: "Because she is in my hands. superior."
Su Xiaopei's heart sank.
"I won this round."
