Please don't stick to Officer Qi [criminal investigation]

Fortunately, there was a handrail next to the stairs, and Qi Lin leaned on the handrail to avoid the consequences of rolling down the steps.

"Young man, what's the matter with you?"

"I haven't rested well these days, my legs are a little weak."

It sounds perfunctory.

The old man didn't pay much attention, but Qi Lin said: "Mr. Police, I think you have to go to the abandoned subway construction site opposite, it seems that someone is fighting."

Qi Lin stood up straight and looked across the block.There did seem to be two people fighting there.However, because the surrounding area was covered with blue iron sheets, Qi Lin couldn't see clearly, and could only vaguely see two figures.

Fighting in the city is out of his control.But since I saw it, there was no reason to ignore it.

He picked up the gas pipe from the waste pile on the side of the road and walked slowly to the construction site.

One of them was wearing a black tracksuit and ran away when he saw a third party coming.While the other person turned his head slowly, a pair of pale blue eyes were slightly surprised.

It was none other than Shile.

"Senior? Why did you come here?"

"I still want to ask you. Who was that just now?"

"Oh, it's okay, it's just a robber. He tried to rob my mobile phone, but he failed."

"Why didn't you chase him? Just let him run like that?" Qi Lin raised his eyebrows.

"..."

"This is not like your style, why is it so strange today?"

"..."

"How about I help you chase?"

Until then, Shi Le finally spoke.

"No, I have more important things to do."

Paused.

"Senior, don't go."

Qi Lin's doubts welled up in his heart.Shi Le's mood has been weird these days, and her attitude towards herself is completely opposite to before.

Did you see what you did that night?Qi Lin shook his head.If he really saw his crime, Shi Le shouldn't have this attitude.

This attitude seems to be angry, and there is a little compassion in the eyes.

With his hands in his trouser pockets, Qi Lin quietly watched Shi Le walk to the corner of the abandoned construction site.

Bend down, dig the dirt, and pick up a dirt-covered box from Geography.Take it clean and pass it to Qi Lin.

Qi Lin opened it and saw that it was a coil of fishing line, which was the same thickness as the wound on his hand, and there were blood spots on it.

He suddenly thought of Shi Lexu's closed door and unchanging clothes last night. It seemed that Shi Le had discovered the secret he wanted to keep.

Now, there are two choices before him, appease or perfunctory.

Either tell Shi Le that what he thinks is not true, or apologize to Shi Le, all this is not what Qi Lin wants to see.

After hesitating, he still chose the latter.Now that the signs have already happened, it's better to tell Shi Le that what he thinks is right.

Qi Lin didn't want to hide Shi Le, especially for such a major mistake.Bilu has already taken the first step, and he doesn't want every step after that to be a heartache.

"Shile, I..."

"Shh."

Shi Le put her fingers against Qi Lin's lips, and with the other hand, she fumbled to unbutton Qi Lin's chest.

Pull it apart with force, and the scar on the collarbone is clearly visible.

It was a long and narrow knife wound, tightly stitched with needles and threads.It's more like...a navy blue rose than a scar.

"Sure enough, the rose tattoo." Shi Le's index finger twirled on Qi Lin's collarbone.Cold fingertips across the scar, Qi Lin grabbed Shi Le's hand.

"You asked the old man one step ahead, didn't you?"

Shi Le did not answer Qi Lin's question directly.He grabbed Qi Lin's wrist and dragged him all the way home, closed all the curtains and sat on the head of the bed.

Qi Lin also sat beside him.

Both of them were silent for a long time.Shi Le sat on the side near the bed, quietly thinking about what to do, while Qi Lin was like a child who did something wrong, all his words were in vain before he thought of a remedy.

What's more, I concealed Shi Le.He didn't know how to face Shi Le, as if every extra word would make the atmosphere more awkward.

After a long time, Shi Le finally became the first person to break the silence.

He stretched out his hand, put it in Qi Lin's pocket, took out a crumpled cigarette and put it in his mouth.

"If I don't find out, what is the senior going to do?"

Qi Lin shook his head with a wry smile, "What can I do? Find out the source of the matter. If it really happened because of me, I will surrender myself."

Shi Le did not judge Qi Lin's actions.He touched Qi Lin's other pocket and asked, "Is there a fire?"

Qi Lin quickly took out the Marlboro lighter he had been using from his pants pocket, and handed it to Shi Le.Open the lid, but the flames did not come out.

"This lighter is too old," Qi Lin said to himself: "The cotton wick is already yellow, and there is no way to restore it to the way it used to be."

Shi Le was stunned.

Things have already happened, and no matter how they are remedied, there will be cracks in the middle.

No matter how much water is poured back, it will not be a full bucket.

……

"No, it's not too late." Shi Le snatched the lighter from Qi Lin, lit the cigarette between his lips, "Trust me."

Speaking of this, the eyes of the two met through the thick smoke.

The smoke was separated between the two, forming a flowing barrier.Qi Lin looked at Shi Le, and his heart was slightly moist.

"Shi Le, I..." He said again, and was interrupted by Shi Le again.

Shi Le hooked Qi Lin's shoulder.Thin lips reflected on each other, gently knocked on the door, and the sea of ​​clouds flowed between the two.

The faint aroma of tobacco enveloped the two of them together, Qi Lin only felt that the whole person would be melted by this gentle trap.

He unconsciously wanted to pull Shi Le's collar, but Shi Le's cough brought him back to reality.

Qi Lin let go of his hand quickly, and Shi Le fell on the bed.

He was panting heavily, and the undispelled smoke was still lingering around the corners of his lips.The Adam's apple rises and falls with the chest, accompanied by the slight trembling of the wrist.

"The first time you smoke, you have to be handsome." Qi Lin couldn't bear it, and rubbed Shi Le's belly, "If you don't know how to smoke, then don't smoke, make things difficult for yourself."

Shi Le hummed, and turned her head slightly to look at Qi Lin, "I just want to tell seniors that I can do things for seniors that I have never done before. The same is true for bomb disposal, and the same is true for smoking. I hope to be able to rely on seniors , and hope that seniors can trust me."

Sit up.

"Senior, tell me, whatever happens to you will do."

Qi Lin hummed.

……

He told Shi Le a lot, including his own discoveries and memories, as well as Xie Yan's diagnosis of himself.

"Thank you? Is it the counselor you met at the wax museum last time?"

"Yes, that's him. He did a series of tests on me. And he came to the conclusion I told you before. He said that my secondary personality has the possibility of killing people."

Shi Le's eyes drifted away for a moment, but quickly returned to the right track.

"Why do psychological counselors have these professional equipment? They are only available in hospitals."

"specialized."

"Maybe." Shi Le shrugged noncommittally, "Then we will start to investigate from the testimony of the old man. He didn't see the picture of you committing the crime, it is not enough to prove that you really did those things. As long as we can find out The real murderer can prove your innocence."

Shi Le's words exceeded Qi Lin's expectations.He thought that what Shi Le wanted to investigate with him was the Rose serial case, but he didn't expect that Shi Le was talking about his innocence.

"The location of the old man is at the entrance of the alley. Anyone who enters or exits will be seen. And as the words of thanks have already said, my sub-personality is extremely unstable. In that case, all clues point to me—— Or another me."

In his mind, the Rose serial case is his heart disease.He once thought that even if he was really going to go to prison, he would have to catch the black hand behind the scenes.

As for my own affairs, it's not that important anymore.

Qi Lin wanted to persuade Shi Le to give up this idea, but Shi Le's eyes were extremely firm.

"No, that's definitely not you." Shi Le said, "I don't believe that your other half will be cold and evil. Even if it is another you, you will never do that kind of thing. Senior, you are very gentle, Very just, the other personality must also be gentle and just."

"But," Qi Lin swallowed, "They all said that the secondary personality and the main personality will be completely opposite."

"That's them, not you." Shi Le supported Qi Lin's face, "Senior, follow me, okay?"

He closed his eyes and kissed Qi Lin's lips.

Qi Lin hid what he wanted to say in the gap between his lips and teeth.

The sunlight overflowing from the gaps in the curtains was diluted on the white sheets, covering the eyes with a bit of brightness.In Qi Lin's eyes, Shi Le is like a messenger brought by the sun, her fair skin is shining, and even the corners of her eyes are shining with a few crystal stars.

For the first time, he felt that he wanted to possess Shile so much.He wanted to hide this well-behaved and sensible brother deeply in his life, hide it well, and then carve a strong stroke in the long years.

"senior."

"Ok?"

Shi Le hooked Qi Lin's neck and lifted it back, and Qi Lin fell on Shi Le with his force.

He felt that he was embedded in the bed, just like Shi Le was embedded in himself.

"Senior..." Shi Le gritted her teeth and pushed Qi Lin away a little, "Answer my question first."

Qi Lin didn't want to answer.All words will become pale and powerless at this moment.

He leaned slightly.Fingers across Shi Le's side face, hoping to let this replace his answer.

But Shi Le was still unyielding.Although he was already breathing in pain, he continued to ask Qi Lin: "Senior, hiss—you promise me first, you must not give up on yourself."

Qi Lin sighed.

"I never said that I would give up on myself." He bent over Shi Le's ear, blowing the thin fluff in his ear, "As long as you are by my side, I will not give up on myself. But you have to promise me, You can't let yourself get into a dangerous situation, you know?"

"understood."

Shi Le's voice was very low, so low that it was about to sink into the ground, and then it was wrapped in a soft sheet.
