So close, close enough to hear his heartbeat from his chest.

The heartbeat, like its owner, maintained a certain annoying calmness and restraint, but as the contact between the two deepened, it also became slightly faster.

Could it be that he also—

As soon as Du Ruoying's heart moved, her thoughts were overwhelmed by overwhelming waves, unable to proceed normally: "Um..."

"Promise me, don't think." His voice came from beside her ear, entwining her like a soft weed. It seemed harmless, but it actually contained a paralyzing poisonous sting, quickly dragging her into the abyss of consciousness.

Across the layers of water waves, the sunlight above the head became distorted and blurred in the shaking, getting further and further away.

Ahh, strange...

Am I... drowning?

No, no, this is different from the feeling of drowning, this is a very comfortable submersion, just like a stranded fish is finally wrapped up by the sea water, with an inescapable sense of security, she is willingly imprisoned in the the bottom of the sea.

A strange idea seduced her, and then captured her, and persuaded her to simply sink down like this, without thinking about anything else.

Yes, thinking about something is indeed the most troublesome.The state of not thinking is the most comfortable.If I give up thinking even further, it will definitely be more comfortable...

but--

In the distance, someone's footsteps came from the shore, stirring up a vague uneasiness in the water waves.The footsteps reminded her that if she didn't wake up again, something important would definitely be taken away.

No, it may have been taken away or maybe...

Thinking of this, Du Ruoying couldn't help but tremble, and her sanity, which was drowning in the water, broke free from the aquatic plants and surfaced again.The blurry glare above his head suddenly became clear. It wasn't sunlight, but the lights of the hotel.

I almost forgot that I still have important things to do!

Du Ruoying took a deep breath, and began to exert strength with her hands, trying to push William away.

William noticed something, and a strong impulse surged into his heart in an instant—wanted to confine her further, restrain her, drown her in the sea of ​​his own consciousness forever, wanted her to show a comfortable expression like just now, wanted to There was only him reflected in her eyes forever.But he still suppressed the heart-gnawing aggressiveness, and let her go with a calm expression.

Behind him, Du Ruoxian just walked over, "Xiaoying, how are you doing, are you okay?"

"It's okay." She raised her eyes and glanced furtively at Du Ruoxian, seeing him let out a long sigh of relief, knowing that he must have seen nothing, but she didn't know that Du Ruoxian's hands behind his back had long been clenched into fists.

Hurry up, I'm about to rescue her, I have to hold back...

Just as the three of them looked at each other, a figure stumbled towards them, it was Yue Yin!

Her face was ferocious, her lips were purple, and white foam emerged from the corners of her mouth. Death's carving knife carved out terrible veins on her temples, obviously poisoned.Tears burst out of her eyes, and she reached out to grab Du Ruoying, but Du Ruoxian blocked her, and staggered onto his arm.

She looked at Du Ruoying with her eyes, but shook Du Ruoxian with difficulty with her hands, her eyes were distracted, and she seemed a little delirious, "Officer Du, help me...help..."

Before Du Ruoxian recovered from the shock, she began to twitch all over her body. Immediately afterwards, her limbs seemed to be bent forcibly by invisible giant hands, and they were reversely twisted into an exaggerated angle. In an instant, she suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't breathe anymore.

"The muscles of the face and neck of the deceased were stiff, the pupils constricted and then dilated, the limbs twitched, and the whole body showed opisthotonos after death. It should be poisoned by pan, wood, and turtle." After the autopsy, Du Ruoying quickly judged.

"Pan. wood. strychnine? It's such a memorable name." William thought thoughtfully, "This kind of poison usually takes effect within ten to twenty minutes after oral administration, and the lethal dose is only 10 mg—that's enough. It is one-fifth of a drop of water. According to the partial fall of her lipstick, it can be judged that she probably only smoked cigarettes during this period, and the probability of her hands being exposed to poison is very high. Officer Du just came into contact with her hands , be careful."

"Thank you for your concern." Du Ruoxian said coldly and politely.

"What happened?" Officer Zhou and others rushed over, and were stunned by the scene in front of them, "How could it be!"

But he quickly calmed down, took out the handcuffs, and handcuffed the driver next to him, Zhu Weiping: "But this way, the matter is quite simple."

"Hey, what do you mean?" Zhu Weiping protested dissatisfied.

"Now you are the only suspect left alive, what do you mean by me?" Officer Zhou sneered.

"Wait, that's not the case!" Du Ruoying reached out to touch her pocket, but was surprised to find that the evidence was gone.

"What's that like?" Officer Zhou raised his eyebrows.

"Yes--"

"You don't have to explain it for him," Police Officer Zhou waved his hand, "We found out that the first victim's order call was from room 8214, so we checked what happened in room 8214 before, and found that There used to be a girl named Tian Tian who lived here. She had a conflict with the victim Wu Chi when she was playing here, and she was accidentally buried in the sea. When the body was fished ashore, her legs were wrapped in a lot of water plants, which looked like a mermaid's. For this, Wu Chi only paid a sum of so-called humanitarian compensation, and then left without any legal sanctions. This matter was made a fuss by the news media back then. And this driver is Tian Tian's father, formerly named Tian Yi, changed his identity and name after his daughter's death and became Zhu Weiping. A few years later, he became Wu Chi's driver, probably for today's sake."

"You mean, I killed all three people, right?" Zhu Weiping asked, "But from the time Mr. Wu was killed to the time Xiao Lu's body was found, I have been staying in the corridor and never left. All can see."

"That's true," whispered one of the constables.

Police Officer Zhou suddenly became irritable. He pretended to clear his throat, and tried to find a step down: "Well... so what... Du Ruoying, is that the name? Didn't you just say that you had other discoveries? Let's hear it." ?”

"The three of them left the scene a long time ago." The policeman next to him reminded in a low voice.

"...?!!"

the other side.

After arriving in a secluded place, Du Ruoying stopped in her tracks. She let go of William and reached out to him.

William looked blank: "Huh?"

"Give me back the evidence."

"What evidence?"

"Don't be stupid, you pretended to care about me just now, and you stuck so close to me, isn't it just to take away the evidence I finally found?" Without saying a word, she went forward and searched him, from He searched all the way from his cuffs to his trouser legs, and searched carefully for a long time, but he found nothing. Just when she was puzzled, Du Ruoxian put his hand into his trouser pocket calmly, and put the things that William had just handed over to him Stuck in pocket.

"Student Xiaoying speculated about me so maliciously, I'm going to be sad." William was still pretending to be innocent.

"Hmph, you shouldn't have any good illusions about a person like you, and I'm hopelessly stupid to believe that you really care about me," Du Ruoying said angrily, "Even At the scene of the first crime, the reason why you covered my eyes for the first time is probably to cover the murderer's small actions."

William shrugged, neither admitting nor denying, which made Du Ruoying feel even more furious.

Yes, he is always like this, quietly weaving a huge net, luring her to fall and sink again and again, but she can only realize it in vain.

She suddenly darkened her face: "Will, what on earth do you want to do? Fighting against the law, trampling on justice, and playing with people's hearts, does that make you feel funny?"

"Contrary to what you said, I don't want to trample on justice," William put away his fake and naive expression, "Legal justice is just a kind of justice. You are so smart, you should be able to see that there are still many people in this world. There are other options."

"Your sympathy really likes to be placed in strange places. No matter what the reason is, the pollution of people's hearts by killing is uncontrollable. Didn't Ah Cheng's case prove this to us before at Keya's house? To allow killing and cover up crimes out of sympathy is like turning a blind eye to cigarette butts thrown into the forest, and it will only make things more out of control."

"'When the law fails to bring justice to the parties involved, private revenge is justified and even noble from this moment.[1]'Mr. Holmes once said this." William paused, "I think Officer Du must also agree with the That’s why you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, isn’t it?”

Du Ruoxian was silent.

Du Ruoying suddenly felt something was wrong: "Brother, why don't you talk? Tell me, you don't think so, tell me!"

Her eyes shuttled back and forth on the faces of the two men in front of her, trying to see through them, but she still had no clue.Strange, it's all really weird...

"Will, did you say something to my brother behind my back?"

William didn't answer her question directly, but looked down at Du Ruoxian condescendingly: "It's okay to tell her, she should know sooner or later."

Du Ruoxian raised his head with difficulty: "I made a deal with the professor. If I obediently admit defeat in this reasoning competition, he will agree to stop disturbing your life from now on."

Du Ruoying noticed that his words were cautious, and his eyes turned to William from time to time—the eyes of the subordinates asking the boss's face.She was suddenly angry: "Are you stupid? How can you trust him? "

William looked at her indifferently, with a provocative smile on his lips.

"That's right, just resent me helplessly like this, remember that I am a villain that should be guarded against, don't trust and approach me easily..."

"Don't be too happy, Will, I won't do what you want!" Du Ruoying said, then turned her head and left.
