When the bearded man got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, he saw a light in the room.

Lin Jianqiu didn't know if he had woken up or if he hadn't slept all this time, he was lying on the side of the bay window writing something furiously.

Only a small lamp next to it was on.

The bearded man knocked on the door: "Why are you up so late?"

Lin Jianqiu turned his head to look at him, but his face was not exhausted: "I'm writing an outline."

The bearded man froze for a moment: "Write a novel?"

Lin Jianqiu nodded.

The bearded man stroked the beard on his chin, and then he remembered that Lin Jianqiu had said that he wanted to be a writer.

There were too many messy things during the period,? He almost forgot all of them.

What about writers? Inspiration always comes from strange places and time periods, and it’s not unusual to wake up halfway through a dream in the middle of the night and work.

The bearded man didn't think too much, and just asked, "Are you going out tomorrow morning?"

Lin Jianqiu said "hmm": "So I still have to trouble you to see Lele tomorrow morning? If there is no accident, I will go there early to take over."

The bearded man had nothing to do in the morning,? Besides, Lin Jianqiu took him in for free? He should do a little favor, so he agreed without any objection.

"Then you should rest early."

"Okay." Lin Jianqiu looked at the bearded man yawning and turned to go out before turning back to look at the notebook in front of him.

This interruption,? If I pick up my pen again, I can't write any more.

Previously, he just woke up from a dream, feeling uneasy, so he simply got up and took out the notebook, and continued to write the outline of the story that he hadn't finished before.

A little half of the original world has been written, and the main line of characters and events has been completed, but it is difficult to continue after picking it up again.

Deleted and changed again,? In the end, only the first few sentences remained.

"Snapped."

Lin Jianqiu closed the notebook and fell back on the bed.

Still can't help but think about Xu Ying.

The influence of the distorted family is obvious, but his behavior is definitely not guided by the family.

No matter how snobbish, cowardly, and indifferent his family members are, they will never instill in him the idea that murder is innocent, or even interesting.

Xu Ying is still a middle school student who has not yet graduated. He spends most of his life on campus. He hardly skips class, and he has no chance to directly contact those dark things in society.

There must be some opportunity.

This is the job of the police, but it may not be possible to dig deeper. Lin Jianqiu has no choice but to care about it, so before he left, he actively applied to know the whole picture of the case.

As an important "witness", this is not a big problem.

They made an appointment to meet again the next morning.

There are not a few hours left.

Lin Jianqiu glanced at the time on the phone.

With a soft "ding", a local news feed popped up on the screen, and the headline was about the imitation crime.

Some media got wind of it and worked overtime all night, breaking out about juvenile delinquency.

Related posts also appeared on the local forums. The administrators are still resting, no one supervises, some people fish in troubled waters.

Someone took the opportunity to expose Xu Ying's name.

Including schools, classes, neighborhoods, and building numbers, as long as you have the heart, you can easily meet real people.

Lin Jianqiu couldn't help frowning.

Few people would go to this point deliberately for a murder case that has nothing to do with them. Most of them are night owls themselves, or have been addicted to the Internet for a long time, so it is inevitable that some words are extreme.

This kind of scum doesn't deserve to live at all.

Why is there no one to speak for □□?

Curse his whole family to be hit and killed by a car when they go out.

Since the death penalty cannot be imposed, it would be fine if he could be assassinated with crowdfunding, and it would be a disaster to keep it.

……

Of course, most of them are just talking, and there is nothing wrong with venting their dissatisfaction in this way.

Lin Jianqiu didn't pay too much attention to it, glanced at it a few times, and sent a message to Police Officer Gao to remind him. Seeing that there was no new progress, he put down his phone.

I hope there will be no new surprises.

Before closing his eyes, Lin Jianqiu couldn't help but reached out and touched the beating eyelids.

In the morning, Kaiyun Community.

In the second half of the night, there was another heavy rain, which ended the continuous drizzle, and stopped when the sun rose in the morning.

The sun penetrated the branches and leaves, and the raindrops accumulated on the leaves glistened and rolled to the ground.

Lin Jianqiu crossed the path and walked towards the center of the community.

There is a distance from the building where the crime happened. If you want to go through another door, this is a closer path.

Beside the path, under the branches and leaves, there are several large green boxes hidden among them. At first glance, it looks like a row of small houses.

Lin Jianqiu peeled off the branches and leaves in front of him, and vaguely saw a few words——

"Used Clothes Recycling Bin"

Xu Ying, who was in handcuffs, was pressed down by the police, stood in front of the boxes, raised his fingers, and pointed to one of them to be put into the entrance.

"When I left that day, I put it in here."

"Some people like to play pranks and put rubbish in it, and the sorters usually see rubbish in the bag and throw it away."

The police have called the property, and after opening the box, they found a black bag from it.

It was bulging, and at first glance it looked like a garbage bag.

Putting on gloves and opening it, it looked like toilet waste, bloody paper towels and used sanitary napkins, and the smell was a bit pungent.

The property next to him couldn't help but frown, showing a somewhat disgusted expression.

No one likes to rummage through toilet garbage, and no one thinks that there will be old clothes that can be recycled in it. Even if the people who are sorted see it, they will probably just pinch their noses and throw it away.

Spring shirts are very thin, and they won't be too conspicuous if they are torn and rubbed into the waste paper pile.

Black trousers are pressed underneath.

He took off the jacket after entering the door, but it was not stained with much blood, and he stuffed it into another box.

He planned it long ago, and when he went downstairs, he deliberately put on gloves and new clothes, and lowered the vigilance of Dai's father and daughter as a neighbor.

Xu Ying came to the door, saying that he had quarreled with his mother, so he wanted to talk to Mr. Dai.

Mr. Dai has always been helpful and knew that he had good grades, so he was happy to see him and let him play with his daughter and teach her homework.

No one would have thought that the seemingly well-behaved and sensible neighbor would have murderous intentions.

So until Xu Ying took the kitchen knife, covered Dai Li'an's mouth, pointed the knife point at her neck, and ordered him to kneel down, Mr. Dai still couldn't believe it, thinking it was a joke.

But blood was already seen on his daughter's neck, so he didn't dare to resist, so he could only follow through.

Mr. Dai is not a bloody person, it would be better to say that he is too naive. Until he completely lost the ability to resist and his daughter lost his voice, he was still persuading Xu Ying.

Xu Ying was unmoved.

He was very lucky that day, no one knocked on the door of Dai's house all night, and he had enough time to slowly arrange the scene.

When he dragged the bag containing Dai Lian's body downstairs, he was not seen by any of the neighbors.

He knew that that time period was the least traffic in the building.

As for why Mr. Dai and his daughter were killed——

"There's no reason, I just think he's a bit of an eyesore."

"Generally speaking, there must not be such a selfless person. Even though his wife and daughter have abandoned him, there are still so many people praising him as a good person. I really can't understand it. He is obviously a hypocrite."

"That kid, I didn't intend to kill her at first, but she was too noisy, and she happened to be there. I can't give up what I want to do for her, can I?"

The surrounding policemen frowned tightly and stared at Xu Ying with incomprehensible eyes.

After a night of interrogation, Xu Ying finally did not hide the facts of his crime.

He told the whole story, but it didn't make the police happy.

Xu Ying's attitude was too natural.

Without the slightest fear, annoyance, or regret, even a trace of regret can't be seen. He has no compassion for the victim, and it seems to be just two worthless dead things when he mentions it again.

Instead, blame the innocent little girl for interrupting his game.

Indifferent to creepy.

Someone wanted to punch Xu Ying's face full of "boring".

But they couldn't, so they could only grit their teeth and continue to ask questions about the details of the case stiffly.

Lin Jianqiu stood not far away, looking at Xu Ying's casual profile.

Probably noticing his long gaze, Xu Ying turned his head suddenly at a certain moment, and met Lin Jianqiu's gaze.

He bent his lips and grinned at Lin Jianqiu.

Undoubtedly provocative.

As if he had won some kind of victory, he was very proud of it and showed it off to Lin Jianqiu silently.

What if you caught me?

He was so angry that he couldn't even punch me.

In a way, the law is "protecting" him.

What an ironic reality.

Lin Jianqiu was just a bystander at this moment, he didn't say anything.

Xu Ying honestly explained the detailed process of committing the crime, and all the evidence hidden by him has been found, and the rest is to return to the bureau for further interrogation and comparison.

When passing by Lin Jianqiu, Xu Ying stopped, as if he had something to say.

"Thanks to you, I actually had a good time."

"It's also quite interesting to look unwilling and powerless."

"Do you hate me to death now?"

Xu Ying raised one eyebrow, his expression was full of satisfaction, as if he was satisfied with Lin Jianqiu's win.

Lin Jianqiu just raised his eyelids: "I only saw a child who yelled because he couldn't get candy, and he was so jealous of the child who had candy that he was mad—are you lacking in love?"

Xu Ying's face darkened slightly.

Lin Jianqiu curled up his lips, but didn't see much smile: "Do you think life in prison will be very interesting?"

Xu Ying turned his head away, not ready to answer the question.

But Lin Jianqiu's voice still carried the wind into his ears.

"For you, the best result is 20 years. Even if you perform well, you can advance to 15 years. How old will you be in 15 years? 32 years old, at most 40 years old."

"Do you feel that you are still young? Many people start their careers at this age, and you are not missing, right?"

"But do you know how long 20 years is?"

"Longer than any life you've ever lived."

"15 years, excluding the part you have not remembered, is your entire life so far."

"Even if it's only ten years, ten years from now your peers will be graduating from college, working, getting married, having kids, even people who aren't as smart as you should be making their mark and gaining fame and status. Your younger brother should be going to college and taking over your father's business And you, without academic qualifications, no work experience, and unable to keep up with the pace of social development, your family may squander all their property, may be unable to withstand the blow, and die of illness. No one wants to be a friend of a murderer, no People will remember you—”

"When you come out, you may have nothing but an ID card."

"You are at best smarter than ordinary people. You don't deserve the title of 'genius'."

"If you don't commit crimes, you also need to work hard to be a human being."

"You sinned, and that's all you have in your life."

……

Xu Ying pursed his lips and got into the police car, and the policeman next to him was also silent for a long time.

Everyone felt that the death of a person like Xu Ying was not a pity.

Some people felt that it would be too cheap for him to just let him die happily.

Xu Ying himself wanted to live, so he felt complacent about his right to avoid death.

But just living, and living well, are completely different concepts——

The homeless and dirty beggars under the bridge are as alive as the glamorous and highly sought-after elites.

Xu Ying is too young to realize the difference, or he doesn't even bother to think about those worldly things.

He saw only short-term victories.

When someone compulsively cast his gaze into the distance, he only realized it later.

Maybe he didn't care about those worldly burdens at the moment, but it still shook his mind to some extent.

He stopped provoking words and remained silent throughout.

For other people, these words are a kind of aggrieved self-comfort.

At best, he can only vent his anger for a while, but the things that are blocked in his heart are still difficult to truly erase.No matter how tragic Xu Ying's fate is, even if he is crushed, it is impossible for the person killed by him to be resurrected.

Seventeen years old is just right, why not ten years old.

The 30s are also the age when you are vigorous enough to start a new career.

Lin Jianqiu followed Officer Gao into the next car.

At the moment, he was not in the mood for small talk, so Officer Gao asked him directly: "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride if I drop by."

Lin Jianqiu replied, "Go to Sister Chengxin's house to see the dog."

Officer Gao: "Where is Qiyun Road?"

Lin Jianqiu: "It's two streets away."

Officer Gao: "Anyway, they are all in the west of the city—I want to go back to the west of the city, but I will go to the east of the city to get the report later. If you are not in a hurry, I can take you with me."

The free driver is not in vain, and Lin Jianqiu didn't refuse.

They followed behind the car carrying Xu Ying.

But no one wanted to take another look at Xu Ying.

Lin Jianqiu looked down at his phone while subconsciously rubbing his eyes.

Since he woke up in the morning, his eyelids have been twitching non-stop.

It may be that you are overtired and always feel restless.

Turning on the phone, another bunch of messy news feeds popped up.

After everyone started working during the day, the rumors on the Internet have subsided a bit, and the police and cooperative newspapers have released the latest progress of the case.

With the evidence in hand and the fact that I have pleaded guilty, the published name became the "criminal suspect Xu" coded.

However, Xu Ying's name had been circulated privately in the second half of the night, and this announcement could be regarded as confirming part of the rumors.

There was constant criticism on the Internet, but it did not affect the police's handling of the case.

Watching too much will only make you more upset.

Lin Jianqiu glanced at it twice, then backed out again.

Officer Gao noticed that Lin Jianqiu's reaction was a little impetuous, and thought he was impatient to wait.

"We're at the sub-bureau ahead, and it won't be long before we get our stuff and report and we can leave—are you waiting in the car, or go with me?"

"I'll wait for you here." Lin Jianqiu rubbed his eyes.

Follow the past, if you accidentally say something, you will have to wait a lot of time.

Now that the case has been solved, he has nothing more to say to the unfamiliar policeman.

Officer Gao glanced at him, and waited for a while before the next sentence——

Lin Jianqiu didn't remind him of the bonus.

It seems really tired.

The exhausted kind.

"You'd better take some time to rest for a while, your face is really ugly."

Lin Jianqiu let out a casual "hmm".

The gate of the police station can be seen not far ahead. The car in front drove past first, and Officer Gao then slowed down and turned on the turn signal.

Xu Ying got out of the car with the police in front, but didn't go in immediately, but had a dispute with the police.

"What happened again?"

Officer Gao's attention was shifted for a moment.

Lin Jianqiu rubbed his eyes again, and when he raised his eyes, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the rearview mirror outside, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"parking!"

Officer Gao subconsciously slammed on the brakes.

The large truck behind suddenly accelerated, deviated from its original track, and slammed into the side of the road.

The author has something to say: I was temporarily dragged out this afternoon to attend a wedding, and it was almost ten o'clock when I came back (kneeling

There is still one more to go to bed after writing, and I will make up what is missing tomorrow. Don’t wait too late at night, go to bed early, and you can watch it tomorrow morning, okay?
