9:35 p.m., Miller's study.

Amor walked to the desk and stopped: "Father."

Miller, who was sitting behind the desk, was browsing the news without looking up: "Go to bed early."

"I'm here to say goodbye to you." After saying this, Miller was finally willing to look up.

"I asked you for leave from the university. You don't have to go back in a hurry. Stay at home for a while this time."

"No, I have something else to do." Amor flatly refused.

"Anything else?" Miller turned off the news projection, frowning slightly, "What else?"

"Don't bother you."

"Are you going to collect your lover's body?" Miller said, leaning back on the chair, although he was looking up at Amor, but he was full of contempt and disdain, "Amor, how did you become the person you are now? Look? You used to be very obedient."

"I'm fine now."

"You are still too young. When you really grow up, you will realize how stupid you are to be blinded by love." Miller tapped the table with his index finger, "Give up your social status for a mere pariah, I'm ashamed of you."

"Who is it to lose face?" The flat tone finally became turbulent, Amor frowned and looked at Miller, and poked it mercilessly, "Is it yours?"

"The whole family will lose face because of you!" Miller raised his voice angrily. "You were born with a golden spoon in your mouth, and many people would not envy you. And you? Not only are you not grateful, but you also feel that the existing social system There is a problem, do you know that you are a white-eyed wolf?"

"I haven't compiled my theories into a book, and I've been very restrained."

"You still want to publish a book? A joke." The corner of Miller's mouth was full of sarcasm. "I warn you, Amor. Do whatever you are in. Don't let me teach you such a simple truth."

"I came to say goodbye to you today because I don't want that position anymore. You don't need to teach me the truth, I know it myself."

"Are you going to sever ties with your family?" Miller's cheek muscles trembled slightly due to anger, and his eyes sank. "For the so-called freedom and love? It's ridiculous! If you dare to have anything to do with civilians—"

But at this point, Miller suddenly calmed down, and said after thinking: "Wait, you reminded me. Now that the Magos are in a crisis of public opinion, it would be a good idea to marry a commoner."

Amor frowned slightly.

"Well, don't you want to marry a commoner? I'll let you go." Miller regained his usual calmness, "Captain Shen is a good candidate, he's a hundred times more respectable than that monster hunter."

"...decent?" His hanging hands gradually clenched into fists.

"This matter is settled like this. As a member of this family, you have to take responsibility."

"I just said," the voice extruded from the corner of his mouth trembled a little, "I want to leave."

"What are you going to do? Do you think you have the ability to go to the ruins to collect the body of your wild man?" Miller said impatiently, "If you dare to go, I will send someone to chop up his body and feed it to the dogs."

His fingertips sank into the flesh, as if he was about to pinch blood.The fist clenched tightly, and finally loosened again. Amor said calmly, "Take care, father."

"You still have to go, don't you? You stop for me, do you hear me?!"

"..."

Amor folded the silver-rimmed glasses and put them in the inner pocket of the suit jacket, then put his hands into the pockets of his trousers, and calmly said to Wei Shen: "It's your intention to ask Rita to call me back." ?"

"Yes." Wei Shen said.

"How do you know it was me?"

At first, Captain Shen Si was unwilling to believe it. Even when he set up the trap, he silently hoped that Amor would not show up.But at this moment, he also had to accept this fact.

"When inquiring about the entry and exit records of the entrance and exit passages, Kleite found a suspicious person." Shen Siwei was referring to the stranger whose resume was blank. "His entry and exit time is very strange. He entered the top floor twice, respectively. Before Miller died, and at Miller's funeral."

"What does this have to do with me?" Amor asked.

"It really doesn't matter much from this point of view, so let me put it another way." Shen Siwei said, "He entered the top floor twice, after you left twice. The first time was after you said goodbye to Miller, and the second time was you After attending the funeral."

Amor raised his eyebrows slightly.

"That is to say, every time you leave the top floor, this person appears, how can there be such a coincidence?"

"It may really be such a coincidence."

"You guys are coming in and out so close together I think anyone would be surprised."

"Do you suspect me because you feel strange?" Amor smiled, "Isn't this a bit sloppy?"

"No, there is a reason for suspecting you." Shen Siwei exhaled heavily, and continued, "When you went to the bottom floor, you concealed your identity. If I guessed correctly, you bought it in Z City, West District assumed a false identity."

It is impossible for Amor to wander around with Li in his real identity.No matter how the action team finally found the traces of the two, what is certain is that Amor will never be so stupid as to let the military track his location.

Therefore, Amor probably has a double identity, one is himself, and the other is the fake identity he bought.

Amor didn't answer the conversation, which seemed to be acquiescence to Shen Siwei's statement.

"Looking at the timeline between you and that suspicious person, when you left, he appeared, and when he left, you appeared. If this suspicious person is you, then you have actually stayed on the top floor from beginning to end."

Amor first left the top floor after saying goodbye to Miller.

Judging from the entry and exit records, Miller was no longer on the top floor when he was killed, so naturally he cannot be the murderer.

But if he returned to the top floor with a false identity, all his alibi would be self-defeating.

Since Amor had to come back with his real identity because he was going to attend the funeral the next day, he had to leave with a false identity and then change back to his real identity.

After attending the funeral, he left again, put on a false identity and returned to the top floor, and Adolf was killed after that.

The reason why Wei Shen asked Rita to pretend to be sick and asked Amor to come back to visit was because Amor was staying on the top floor at this time, and he had to "in and out" to exchange identities again, and it was at this time that Wei Shen arrested stopped him.

"At first I doubted Adolf, because he reacted when he dealt with the unexpected situation, as if he knew that Miller would die." Shen Siwei said, "If I guessed correctly, you informed Adolf in advance that you were going to kill him. Miller."

Amor quietly listened to Wei Shen's speculation, without any intention of refuting.

"Then let me guess again. The reason why you told Adolf is because you need his help."

Adolf once entered Wei Shen's room unimpeded, threatening that the top floor was his territory, and there was no place he could not go.If Amor's fake identity wants to gain access to the top floor, Shen Siwei estimates that Amor, who has not been on the top floor all year round, can't do it, so he can only ask Adolf to help.

Including getting guns, it must be through Adolf.

"That's right." Amor smiled lightly and said proactively, "He supported me very much and suggested that I fake suicide."

Seeing Amor admit so readily, Shen Siwei inevitably sank: "That suicide note was your idea."

"He should feel sorry." Amor said.

"What about Adolf?" Wei Shen asked, "You killed him also for Li?"

In fact, there is one point that Shen Siwei has never figured out.

Amor killed Miller just to avenge Li.Although Maureen was the one who directly caused Li's death, in the end, Miller was the culprit.

But Adolf is at most a marginal figure, if Adolf was to be eliminated, then Rita should be implicated as well.

"Or," Shen Siwei guessed, "Adolf wants to expose you?"

Amor chuckled: "Do you think it's possible?"

It is indeed unlikely.The two are grasshoppers on the same rope. If Adolf exposes Amor, it is tantamount to exposing himself.

"So it's still for Li?" Shen Siwei said.

"You are wrong, Captain Shen." Amor said, "Your other guesses are basically correct, but I didn't do this for Li from the beginning to the end."

Could it be to help Nightingale?

Shen Siwei couldn't help flashing this ridiculous idea in his mind.

"It's not for anyone." Amor's next words instantly dispelled Wei Shen's thoughts, "I'm just for myself."

Wei Shen frowned slightly, waiting for Amor's next words.

"Do you remember what you said to me in the basement of Mo Lin's house? 'Why don't you vent your hatred'. I want to thank you, Captain Shen, for waking me up."

Shen Siwei suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"You probably don't know that my father wanted me to marry you at the beginning, and his actions have wiped out the only remaining feelings I have for him. I don't care anymore, I want to vent my anger, and I want to let everyone Everyone feels my anger."

When he said this, Amor's tone was very calm, but Wei Shen felt inexplicably terrified.

"I have come up with the perfect revenge plan, but to make it happen, I have to stay on the top floor as an invisible man, so I can only ask my dear brother for help.

"I told him that I would kill my father and ask him to help me gain access to the top floor with my false identity, and he readily agreed. You know, that old man tried his best to prolong his life, and Adolf had long been looking forward to his death for business reasons. up.

"It's just that what Adolf doesn't know is that my real purpose is not to kill my father, but to gain identity authority. In this way, I can stay on the top floor unobtrusively to complete my plan. So killing my father is just me making a fuss. It's just a blindfold.

"Later Adolf realized that the defeat was doomed, and asked me to go back and discuss the countermeasures with him. At that time, he accidentally discovered that after I left the funeral, I returned to the top floor with a fake identity-this was different from our original agreement. After Miller, I probably won't come back. So he asked me why I had already achieved my goal and stayed on the top floor under a false identity.

"Of course I won't let him affect me, so I just got rid of him." At this point, Amor stopped, "This is the whole story, Captain Shen."

The more Shen Siwei listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked, "What is your plan?"

He always thought that Amor killed Miller to avenge Li, but in the end, obtaining identity authority was Amor's real purpose, and he even killed his own father to justify this matter.

"You'll know soon." Amor said as he took out a small bottle of bronchial spray from his trousers pocket. "There's one more thing you probably didn't guess right, Captain Shen."

He calmly shook the spray, the writing on the bottle was blocked by his slender fingers, making it difficult to see clearly.

"The reason why I show up now is not to change my real identity and go back to visit Rita." He stopped shaking the spray, quickly operated the microcomputer with his fingers, and pressed a command button, "The plan has been completed, I should Go down and accompany my Li."

As soon as Amor finished speaking, the surroundings were suddenly plunged into darkness. Except for the searchlight of the aircraft, all the street lights, landscape lights, and all the lights in the villa were turned off at the same time. From a distance, the entire top floor was shrouded in deadly darkness.

The guards looked at each other in blank dismay. Some said there was a power outage, and some said that the internet was disconnected. This was the first time for everyone to face such a situation—the core energy station was not operating normally.

Shen Siwei thought of the voltage instability in the previous meeting with Lai Zhe, but he didn't have time to think deeply at this time, because after Amor said "everyone, take care", he suddenly inhaled the spray and fell down .

Shen Siwei hurried forward to catch Amor's body, and found that the spray that fell beside him turned out to be a euthanasia drug.

"Call the doctor!" he yelled at the guard.

The communication was cut off, and the guards had no choice but to fly back to the villa to call someone.

Crater came to Shen Siwei's side and began to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Amor: "He was planning to commit suicide."

This is an obvious fact. Shen Siwei looked at the unresponsive Amor and frowned: "But what is his plan?"

"I don't know." Kleite casually said, "Did everyone be buried with them?"

"That's you." Captain Shen Si didn't feel like joking with Kleite right now.

However, when the aircraft carrying the family doctor returned to the entrance and exit passage, another aircraft suddenly flew in the distance.

The pilot's technique seems to be not very good. He lowered the altitude a bit later and lowered the tires a bit too late, causing the aircraft to rush straight towards the entrance and exit passage, almost missing other aircraft parked here.

The cockpit door opened, and a chunky figure stepped out.

"It's not good, it's not good!"

The man was wearing a white coat and glasses. It was Dr. Chen who had been missing for two days.

"It's not good, Captain Shen!" Dr. Chen rushed to Shen Siwei and Kreiter panting, and said to everyone present, "The tree of life is about to collapse, hurry up and get on the aircraft!"

Shen Siwei: "What?"

"Amor is crazy, he is going to destroy the tree of life, run for your life!"

Lieutenant Shen Si looked at Amor who was lying on the ground in disbelief, but he didn't expect that Kreiter's words would come true.
