The physical examination showed that in addition to the fracture of the thumb, there were many soft tissue contusions and symptoms of high fever. Xie Lanshan had always suffered minor injuries, but Tao Jun forced him to rest at home. He was so irritable and earnest that he was afraid of damaging what Lao Xie left behind. This solitary seedling.
Being idle, Xie Lanshan lived in Shen Liufei's residence, but he did not forget his job at all, and asked Tao Longyue to show him the confessions of all the girls on the ship. After reading it, he stared at one of them and fell into deep thought.
At the end of the Seven Days of Fright, the Xinghui shook and swayed in the typhoon and violent waves, as if it had encountered an earthquake. After the fire, the scene was even more chaotic. Before being picked up by the rescue helicopter, Yu Yangzi's DV that was lost early in the morning suddenly reappeared in a corner. Xie Lanshan took the initiative and took out its memory card unnoticed.
He had seen what was filmed inside.
Shen Liufei came over from behind him, saw Xie Lanshan playing with a memory card in his hand, and glanced at the name registered in the statement: "Zou Ruoqi? Is there anything unusual about this case?"
Xie Lanshan scratched his head and pretended to be embarrassed: "It's not abnormal, I still can't figure out some things."
Seeing that the other party was intent on concealing the details of the case, Shen Liufei shared his findings generously: "I have seen the case file of Yao Dai's disappearance back then, and in order to investigate whether she ran away from home because of online dating, I checked the profile of her male netizen, Fan Xiping. The IP address turned out to be an Internet cafe.”
Xie Lanshan nodded: "I know this."
"And what you don't know, there is a school near the Internet cafe." After a pause, Shen Liufei said, "Zou Ruoqi is a junior high school student at this school."
Xie Lanshan heard the deep meaning of these words, and was sure that Shen Liufei had something to say, so he looked at him and waited for him to speak.
Shen Liufei came to Xie Lanshan, raised his chin with his hand, and lowered his eyes to examine the wound on his face: "After the media exposed the content of Yao Shuxin's threatening letter, the parents of the girls came to the bureau to make noise, basically to persuade them to persuade them. No, but among the six girls, only one girl's parent didn't show up from beginning to end."
Xie Lanshan's eyes fell back to the confession in front of him. The answer was obvious. Only Zou Ruoqi came from a divorced family. Both parents remarried and had new children. Although she lived with her mother, she was also in a state of unattended stocking.
Gently brushing the wound on Xie Lanshan's face with his fingers, the scab has been completely healed, and it is estimated that there will be no scar. Shen Liufei continued: "Similar family background, similar sensitivity, loneliness, and unhappiness. Assuming that Zou Ruoqi knew Yao Dai before, I think they would be very compatible because of this resonance."
Xie Lanshan changed his face slightly. He quickly made his own judgment and looked up at Shen Liufei seriously: "But you didn't write this in the material."
"These are not evidence-" Shen Liufei lowered his head and kissed Xie Lanshan's forehead, "The wound has healed well."
As if inspired by some kind of inspiration, Xie Lanshan put the DV memory card in his pocket, suddenly got up and said, "I have to go visit a doctor."
The weather is cold, it gets dark early, the autumn is deepened, and the cold wind blows the dead branches outside the window. Shen Liufei reminded him: "The visit time has passed."
"It's better if it's over." Xie Lanshan walked into Shen Liufei's study, picked out a copy of "Black and White Is Not Wrong" on his bookshelf, then walked out and said to Shen Liufei, "You lend me this book for use."
He turned his head to leave, but was stopped by someone behind him—
"Thank you Lanshan."
Xie Lanshan turned back following the sound, Shen Liufei frowned slightly and looked into his eyes, "Although what happened to Yao Dai is regrettable, I still believe in one sentence - 'Only perfect people are qualified to throw stones at sinners, There are no human beings.'" After a moment of silence, he continued in a low and cold voice and with a very firm attitude, "I have discussed with you before, rather than saying that 'goodness' is a gift that reflects our humanity, it is better to say that It is a contract that restricts our animal nature. Any evil deeds done in the name of good will eventually lead to terrible disorder by breaking the contract.”
Xie Lanshan understood the meaning of these words, walked over with a smile, kissed Shen Liufei closely, and then opened the door and went out.
After the visiting time, nurses take care of every floor of the inpatient department. They are very responsible like the front desk of a company. Xie Lanshan saw a hospital nurse's cleaning car at the corner of the corridor. When he had an idea, he took the sheep and put the blue overalls hanging on him.
Now he's the nurse here, swaggering into the ward.
Zou Ruoqi, who was in the hospital bed, had no blood in his face, and he was still weak, but his injuries were recovering well and he was out of danger. When she saw Xie Lanshan, she immediately sat up from the bed, and when she saw him dressed strangely, she glanced at the job number plate with his name printed on his chest, and asked jokingly, "Are you Wan Xionggang?"
He didn't look at his name before putting on his work clothes, it really didn't match him. Xie Lanshan responded quickly and answered without hesitation: "Ambition is high and steel is made of steel. My dad thinks it's a good name, but I think it's too rough."
"Even after the visit time, you don't need to dress like this," Zou Ruoqi said with a smile, seeing the other party's little trick, "You show your ID and say you are a policeman, so you can come and record your statement."
"You know I'm not here for the case." Xie Lanshan spread his hands, showed his nurse clothes, and returned Zou Ruoqi's particularly gentle and kind smile, he said, "I just want to see my bravest little girl. "
This smile instantly removed his defenses and brought the two closer together. At this moment, Zou Ruoqi's heart was warm, and he was glad that he and this police officer Xie only met by chance. She looked at each other, and quickly thought of herself, realizing that Gao Shan Yang Zhi, they were destined to be different. But when such a person appears beside you, you will inevitably have to take a few more glances, just like plants go to the light and migratory birds go south.
"Actually, it's just a little effort. Lu Weiwei's mother came to see me twice, but she didn't have an empty hand. She said thank you for taking care of the seriously ill Weiwei. If it weren't for me, Weiwei would not be able to survive. "The little girl couldn't help but boast, and said with a shy smile, "Of course people are more disciplined than you, a policeman, and they come every time during visiting hours."
Xie Lanshan sat beside Zou Ruoqi's bed and asked her with concern, "Does the wound still hurt?"
The operation cut off a section of her intestines and also removed a kidney from her. Zou Ruoqi is brave and can joke: "Sometimes it hurts, sometimes itching, when it hurts, it's bearable, and when it's itchy, it's unbearable. In fact, everything else is okay. Well, there is only one kidney left, and I can't sell it for a mobile phone in the future."
Xie Lanshan looked around, and sure enough, he didn't see Zou Ruoqi's parents: "Is there no one to accompany you at night, where are your parents?"
Zou Ruoqi's expression suddenly dimmed, and he forced a smile and said, "They are very busy. Anyway, it's the same for me with or without them."
Lu Weiwei's mother thanked the benefactor who spared no effort in saving her life. The bedside table of the hospital bed was full of colorful fruits and various nutritional products. There was also a handful of lilies in the vase, dipped in fresh dew, and each petal was shining elegantly. silver light.
Xie Lanshan took off his work clothes, took out a hidden book from his arms, and handed it to Zou Ruoqi: "I brought you a book to pass the time."
The title of the book is "Black and White Is Not Wrong", and it is naturally inseparable from the way of chess. The painting is called "The Soul of Fighting", which depicts a famous battle in the Japanese chess world in the first half of the 20th century. , Although the chess players have few cloths, they can see that black and white are glued together, and water and fire are incompatible. There is also a detailed explanation of this chess game in the text part. The little girl opened the book in her hand and was immediately attracted.
Xie Lanshan suddenly lowered his head and said, the long and dense eyelashes could not block the light bursting in his eyes, but it was rare to show a bit of shyness: "Actually, he painted this painting."
"He? Which he?" I don't know if it's because of natural intuition and precision, or because of acquired radar sensitivity. Zou Ruoqi flipped through the album in his hand, looked at Xie Lanshan's reaction again, and suddenly realized, "Could it be your 'he'? "
Xie Lanshan shrugged his shoulders to express his acquiescence, and said with a smile, "He is a painter, and the text is edited by editors."
Zou Ruoqi turned the page again and sighed, "Then he is really powerful, is he handsome?"
Xie Lanshan smiled and nodded.
The greedy worm in his heart was scratched, and Zou Ruoqi's eyes lit up: "How handsome? More handsome than you?"
"Well... let me think about what it was like to see him for the first time..." Xie Lanshan thought hard, trying to find the most appropriate description, "There is—you are in At the beginning of the chaos, in the darkness, when I saw him, I saw the dazzling line separating the heaven and the earth."
"So exaggerated? How can there be such a handsome person!" Xie Lanshan is good-looking enough, and it is not a god in the sky who can make him praise him from the bottom of his heart? Zou Ruoqi was taken aback, the gossip cells all over his body came alive, "Then... After you go back, have you done it?"
Xie Lanshan was choked by the air, coughed lightly, and did not answer.
Zou Ruoqi kept asking, each question was more tricky than Huang Bao. In the end, she burst into laughter, clutching the wound in her abdomen and sighing, "Ah, your face is all red."
"Okay, okay, can we stop talking about this issue and talk about these paintings?" Xie Lanshan seemed to be really embarrassed, raised his hand to his forehead, and was busy diverting the topic, "he talked to him. I said that the inspiration for the painting "Spirit of Fighting" came from a famous chess game between Sakata Eio and Fujisawa Hideyuki, Fujisawa Hideyuki likes close combat, Sakata prefers long-distance layout-"
"No, no, you're saying the opposite," Zou Ruoqi had already laughed so hard just now that he interrupted the other party for granted, "In terms of chess style, Sakata Eio is good at melee combat, and Fujisawa Hideyuki is—"
The voice stopped abruptly. Realizing that Zou Ruoqi, who had leaked his words, suddenly had his blood solidified, from head to bottom, she couldn't stop fighting a cold war. Their eyes met, and at this moment, she finally understood Xie Lanshan's eyes.
This man has been showing weakness since the onset of the disease, and he has repeatedly made jokes, just to complete this final fatal blow - please enter the urn.
After a period of silence, Xie Lanshan sighed softly: "A person who doesn't know anything about Go may know what 'chess' is, but he will never know so much about the two great chess players in Japan after Wu Qingyuan, right, Fan Xiping?"
Zou Ruoqi is different from the suspects in all previous cases. She is not as ruthless as Li Rui, nor as far-reaching as Tang Zhaozhong. Even when she was exposed in person, she didn't think about quibbling and denial. After she was shocked, she immediately admitted that she was Yao Dai's. Netizen Fan Xiping. She pretended to be a boy to chat with Yao Dai on the Internet, and soon became a close friend because of her personality. She originally just wanted to comfort her loneliness, but she didn't expect that the police would find the Internet cafe one day. She was also a child at the time and chose to remain silent for fear of being involved in a complicated case. However, after the incident, Yao Daizhen disappeared like this.
Until the tireless investigation Yao Shuxin finally found her, the old father who was in tears and withered face made the trace of shame in her heart grow wild in an instant, and she was moved and persuaded. It is a pity that Yao Shuxin was terminally ill at that time, so he had no choice but to find his ex-wife Zhang Suyun, also known as Xiao Gu.
Zou Ruoqi's face was pale, and he asked tremblingly, "Did you doubt me at the dinner table?"
"No, it's just that I realized very early that this layout relies too much on ingenious design and reasonable timing. If there is no one inside the girls to cooperate and guide, only Xiao Gu can't complete it." They are also stuck in a lot of questions. Unable to get out, Xie Lanshan frowned slightly, "But there is one thing I have never understood, since you cooperated with Xiao Gu, why did you kill her again? What kind of mechanism did you use as a girl to be able to be strangled to death? Xiao Gu pretended to hang himself?"
"We really hid you," Zou Ruoqi's voice was soft, and although there was a smile on his face, there was no sign of victory at all, "Of course you can't crack this mechanism, because Teacher Xiao committed suicide in the first place."
Xie Lanshan couldn't believe it, his eyes widened in shock: "But the scratches on her neck, the bitten tongue, and a series of signs of struggle all prove that—"
Suddenly, Xie Lanshan understood completely. He wanted to say something, but found himself caught in the throat by this tragic and heavy maternal love, and he felt sad, moved and shocked at the same time.
It's a trap, and the bait is the life a mother is willing to give for her daughter. Before Xiao Gu committed suicide, he deliberately messed up his clothes and scratched his neck with his fingernails, creating all kinds of illusions that would make people think that she was strangled to death, in order to confuse his sight.
Without waiting for Xie Lanshan to ask questions, Zou Ruoqi gave the answer herself. She shook her head with a wry smile, and she bent softly recently, but her eyes were full of mournful tears: "Because it's too late, it's too late to punish the culprit. We all know that you will soon find out the truth about the drug accidentally dropped under the bed, so we can only gamble, we can only muddy the water and create obstacles for you to solve the case, hoping that this will create enough Chaos, let Peng Yixuan pay the price she deserves."
Xie Lanshan looked serious: "The typhoon has brought enough chaos, and God will help you."
Zou Ruoqi continued: "Also, Peng Yixuan's wild words that day that she would never be punished by the law also angered Mr. Xiao. Mr. Xiao believes that a person like Peng Yixuan who has no reverence for life , death is not scary enough for her, the pain and fear brought by the moment of death are far from enough to offset her sins. So Mr. Xiao wants to teach her a lesson at the legal level. Peng Yixuan is 18 years old this year. Her most beautiful years were imprisoned. She will be polished and forged by ten years of prison life, from a daughter who does not know hardships and awe to a criminal who can only wash her face in tears in a prison window. If she can exchange it for her repentance, that is a windfall.”
"One more thing," Xie Lanshan frowned, still doubting, "You know I'm a policeman, why did you bring me on board? You could make Lu Weiwei die of ketoacidosis, so why stay with her all night?"
Zou Ruoqi lowered his head, twisted his fingers, and did not answer the question.
The answer is so obvious, Xie Lanshan slightly raised the corner of his mouth: "It seems that you are not a seasoned criminal, or to put it simply, you are not a villain."
Zou Ruoqi tried to explain: "Mr. Xiao... Yao Dai's mother is not a villain, she just wants to know the truth of the year, just wants to seek justice for her daughter, she has too many opportunities to kill everyone on the yacht... "
Xie Lanshan nodded: "So she wants to take you out of this case, she didn't instruct you to kill Peng Yixuan in the chaos, but asked you to stimulate the frightened bird, bang, Peng Yixuan stabbed you as you wished. already."
"Mr. Xiao hopes that her 'suicide in fear of crime' will end this case, and she also hopes that I can go to Yao Dai's grave every year to perform sacrifices and live well with her unfulfilled wish..." Zou Ruoqi groaned again, almost It was a heart-wrenching cry and asked, "What am I going to do now? Will I surrender?"
The girl didn't realize that the police in front of her had no definite evidence, but she could not convict herself based on his confession. She was not afraid to confess her guilt and fall under the law, but she just thought desperately, in this way, Peng Yixuan's intentional homicide case The characterization of Xiao Gu will change in an instant, and Xiao Gu's sacrifice will become meaningless.
Of course Xie Lanshan also thought of it.
"Before I came today, someone said something to me. He said that any evil deed in the name of goodness will eventually lead to a terrible disorder because of breaking the contract." Staring at the girl's helpless eyes, Xie Lanshan After a full five minutes of silence, the corners of his mouth curled up playfully, "But, I don't agree."
Zou Ruoqi was ready to hear a missionary-like sentence, but the result was very different from her imagination.
"'No evil and no good is the body of the heart, good and evil are the movements of the mind, knowing the good and knowing the evil is conscience, and eliminating evil for the good is a matter.' The beast who sexually assaulted the young girl escaped punishment because of his power, and the bastard who abused his wife looked at it. The law can't manage family affairs. A cunning and despicable murderer will be exempt from the death penalty if he fakes a psychiatric test. Those little devils under the age of fourteen can do evil in their daytime without any restrictions... There is no order in this world. But, where did the disorder come from?" Xie Lanshan took out a DV memory card from his pocket, threw it to Zou Ruoqi on the hospital bed, and said with a meaningful smile, "I found it by accident. In Yoko's DV, there's a little... truth, I think you should be more willing to keep it yourself."
When you're done, turn around and leave.
Unbelievable about the other party's reaction, Zou Ruoqi stopped his steps and asked in shock, "Are you...are you really a police officer?"
She made eye contact with him, and immediately found that the man's eyes were flowing and changing, from the clarity full of compassion and divinity to bottomless, he seemed to be no longer the one who broke his thumb on the yacht Officer Xie, who saved people, seems to be no longer himself.
Finally, before turning his head to leave, Xie Lanshan put a finger in front of his lips and snorted softly.
