When leaving the meeting room, Xiang Wan saw Meng Chi holding up the "Grey List" physical book, and when he saw Mu Ershao's signature and inscription, his indifferent expression for a long time slowly changed... as if there was a touch Light, flashed.
Then, together with his face, disappeared into the shadows.
…
"What's next?"
Walking out of the reception room, Xiang Wan looked at Bai Muchuan and blinked.
"Go back and pack your luggage." He looked serious.
"Are you going back to Kyoto?"
"Hmm!" Bai Muchuan turned his handsome face to the side, seemed to realize something, and pursed his lips, "Aren't you going with me?"
After a pause, he sighed: "Tu Liang's memorial service will be held in two days!"
"I was planning to go back to Jincheng!" Seeing that his face darkened slightly, Xiang Wan immediately continued, "However, I must attend Tu Liang's memorial service. All right, then I'll go with you Let’s go to Kyoto! Attend the memorial service first, and then return to Jincheng!”
"Are you going back to Jincheng for business?" Bai Muchuan gave her a deep look.
"Hmm! Website annual meeting." Xiang Wan breathed out, thinking of something, helplessly twitched the corners of his mouth, with a half-smile, "Hey, our temple is small, but there are a lot of bad things!"
"... Do you need me to help you with this mess?" Bai Muchuan knew what she was referring to, and gently stroked her shoulder with his palm.
"No need!" Xiang Wan smiled at him, "I can do it."
What kind of talk is it like to pull a man to block the shit between women
These days, Xiang Wan himself logged in to the author's background except when updating articles, and did not read website forums, Weibo Moments, and did not even pay attention to the book review area...
But she knew that there was no end to the bullshit and trivia.
Bai Muchuan glanced at her slightly frowning brows, and gently squeezed her shoulder.
"Really no need?"
"No need."
"Okay, I understand you!"
"… thanks!"
Xiang Wan smiled.
In her heart, nothing is more important than "understanding you".
Understanding is better than love.
…
The sky outside the detention center is another scene.
The warm light of winter, bright red like a hanging fire, wiped a glow in the sky.
Sweeping away the haze in his heart, Xiang Wan took a deep breath and raised his head, looking at the sunshine, tears were about to flow out.
"This sun is so big!"
"Are you a fool?" Bai Muchuan hugged her lightly and walked towards the parked car. Seeing this, he covered her eyes, unable to laugh or cry, "There are two things in the world that you can't look at directly, don't you know?"
"… I know!"
One is the sun.
The other is the human heart.
This is a world of people coming and going.
Bustling with traffic.
Everyone has a heart.
But no one can understand that heart.
Xiang Wan sat in the co-pilot, lightly resting her fingers on the car window, and suddenly became artistic, "Then Mr. Bai, can you look straight into your heart?"
"Yes." Bai Muchuan started the car, "However, you must wear eye masks."
"… why?"
"I'm afraid that if you read it, you will force me to write ten chapters a day!"
"… rogue!"
Cars drive on the street.
The two were silently thinking about their thoughts, and did not speak for a long time.
Suddenly, Bai Muchuan let out a sigh.
"Xiang Wan, have you thought about a question?"
"What?" Xiang Wan turned to look at him.
"The book the murderer imitated is actually not "Murder God", but "Grey List"..."
"Huh?" The turning point was too fast, and Xiang Wan didn't realize it.
"No! I'm more prepared to say that he had planned to apply the framework of "Grey List" a long time ago, and accidentally took the details and materials of "Murder God"!"
After his mention, Xiang Wan seemed to realize something suddenly, his eyes widened, and his facial expression became shocked!
"Yes! How did I realize it!"
"Because you are dumber than me!"
In the novel "Grey List", the real culprit behind the scenes was blackened because of an accidental accident that touched the evil of human nature. From then on, he made a living out of hatred and compiled a long list of those who wanted revenge. But everyone on the list must die—
Moreover, the people on that list themselves have moral defects, or are traitors, or adulterers... Although it is a crime for a murderer to kill someone, every time the truth is revealed, some people clap their hands and cheer, thinking that the deceased Damn it, the perpetrator can be forgiven instead, which has aroused various opinions and endless debates...
Therefore, Bai Muchuan named the book "Grey List".
A color between black and white.
It also means that there is a middle ground between right and wrong, good and bad...
That is the human heart that makes people unable to look directly.
In this series of cases, the crime of the murderer is also like the "Grey List". He listed the "human murderers" in the mudslide and took revenge on them.
That person is Cui Ming.
Xiang Wan frowned, "In this case, the logical chain is clearer."
Bai Muchuan glanced at her, "Tell me."
Xiang Wan: "From the recording that Meng Chi drove Lima crazy, he already knew everything that happened nineteen years ago. Meng Chi's mother and sister were also on the tour bus. Then, Meng Chi happened Family changes, mother went crazy, sister died, how similar are the cases of Zhao Jiahang and Xu Zhaodi, Sun Shangli and Tan Ziyang, and your mother..."
Bai Muchuan frowned and remained silent.
Xiang Wan cleared her throat, "In Jincheng's case, Cui Ming also took revenge on Xie Wanwan, stole the recording doll, exposed her miserable past to others, and almost committed suicide by jumping off the building... In this case It is also reasonable for Meng Chi to take revenge on Cui Ming."
"Yeah." Bai Muchuan chuckled, "It's the same as what we analyzed before."
"Yes, the West City 121 case was exploited from the very beginning. Someone used the 'temptation of the great god' to kill me, and then framed me, leading you and the No. 1 serious case, turning the police's attention to Nanmu, and completely eradicating the secret door forces. .Then, he took the opportunity to kill Cui Ming, perfectly borrowing a knife to kill someone—if this person is Meng Chi, the lack of logic in the middle is actually very easy to explain."
"Yes." Bai Muchuan nodded, completely agreeing with her analysis.
"It's a pity..." Xiang Wan sighed, "Everything is very reasonable, that's the last point. Meng Chi took away Xie Wanwan and Ye Lun, and then suddenly attacked Tu Liang, completely exposing himself to the sight of the police. , It's not reasonable at all!"
Bai Muchuan was silent.
Xiang Wan continued: "Everything he did before was already perfect. Even if Ye Luo really accused him of meeting Yu Bo, he would not be able to make him guilty. Why did he take the risk?"
"Didn't you explain, his dual personality?"
"Even so, it's a bit strange." Xiang Wan changed into a comfortable position and sighed, "No matter what kind of personality you have, you wouldn't easily let yourself risk someone to kill someone, would you? Otherwise, why is the layout so well in front? "
"..."
No one can answer this question.
And this is the only problem that cannot be reasonably explained at present.
"Don't think too deeply about it, you will drive yourself crazy." Bai Muchuan smiled at her comfortingly, "Xiao Xiangwan, there will be no truly perfect crime. Even I don't have the confidence to make the police undocumented." Check. Meng Chi is just an ordinary person! He did that, perhaps, because he was too confident and self-inflated!"
"Alas! It seems that this is the only way to explain it!"
Meng Chi himself is unwilling to vomit his mental journey.
Who can know what he is thinking
Xiang Wan sighed regretfully, thought for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"The little police officer, can I write another ending in my novel?"
Bai Muchuan stepped on the brakes and stopped at the intersection of red lights.
"What ending?"
Xiang Wan blinked, "Stay tuned!"
…
Kyoto City Funeral Home.
The cold wind in the early morning is flying with snowflakes all over the sky.
Pure white, sacred, all over the world, as if saying goodbye to that ray of vigilance.
The sound of mourning and music is like weeping.
The elegiac couplets are all together, expressing our grief.
This day is the memorial service and farewell ceremony for Tu Liang.
According to Shen Wenjing, it should be done in a low-key manner, and it is enough to notify relatives and friends, and there is no need for grand publicity.
That was not what Tu Liang wanted, nor was it what she wanted.
The title of hero... ordinary people can't bear it.
Shen Wenjing knows better than anyone else that once she becomes a "hero's wife", she will be bound by her for the rest of her life, and she may be instructed by others every step of the way.
Bai Muchuan respected her opinion, asked his superiors for instructions, and tried to keep a low profile—
But unexpectedly, many people still came to the funeral ceremony.
These people were all spontaneously organized after receiving the news.
Some were people who had been helped by Police Officer Tu, and some got news from the Internet and came here for the heroes they respect.
Holding white chrysanthemums in their hands, they stood silently outside the memorial hall, waiting quietly without interruption.
That white color!
It is integrated with the snowflakes flying in the sky and the earth.
