criminal profiling

The hour hand reached nine o'clock, and this was the third bar Zhuang Sheng stayed at tonight. During this period, he rejected wave after wave of men who approached him.Those people, Zhuang Sheng, can be sure that they are not the murderer just by looking at them, so he spent most of his time on how to reject these people.

The more times this happened, even Zhuang Sheng, who was so patient, could hardly bear it, thinking that he had come up with a stupid idea.

He originally analyzed the killer's behavior pattern, screened out several bars that were most likely to be chosen by the killer, and then prepared to sit on the sidelines.Except that every time Zhuang Sheng went to a bar, after observing for a period of time, he left and changed to another bar if he didn't find any suspects.

Of course, Meng Yan wanted to follow Zhuang Sheng, but Zhuang Sheng was afraid that he would be too recognizable, and the murderer might recognize him and not show up, so he asked Meng Yan to stay in the car and not enter the bar.

Of course Meng Yan is not happy, not to mention that being a bait is dangerous in itself, just thinking about the fact that her sweetheart is going to seduce another man, even for work, will make her feel uncomfortable-although this kind of temptation is only far away. There will be no physical contact.

In the end, Zhuang Sheng exchanged Meng Yan's agreement with the price of wearing a bug on his body and having to be pushed on the car seat for a passionate kiss every time he came out of a bar.

Zhuang Sheng deliberately chose a location with a better viewing angle, where he could see most of the bar.He was sitting on the sofa with the juice that Meng Yan specially ordered by his hand.Thinking of Meng Yan, Zhuang Sheng's hand unconsciously stroked his upper lip, which seemed to be still slightly hot.

Afraid of leaving traces, when Meng Yan kissed his lips hard, Zhuang Sheng raised his hand to resist slightly.

"I'm going to work." Zhuang Sheng said seriously, staring into Meng Yan's eyes.

Meng Yan grabbed his hand and put it on his lips and kissed, "Shengsheng, have you ever been to a bar? If you go like this, anyone with a discerning eye will know that you are not the one who should appear there."

Zhuang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his casual clothes, it's normal, is there something wrong?

Seeing the confusion in the young man's eyes, Meng Yan couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed his eyes, then pecked on his lips again, "If you look at it like this, you are a good boy, no one else will do anything to you, you need to change Next image." As he said, he kissed down, bit the top button of the young man and slowly unbuttoned it with his teeth, licked the skin of his neck, and bit the second button until his collarbone was exposed.

The person in his arms was panting, the corners of his eyes were reddish, and there was water vapor in his eyes.

Meng Yan stopped abruptly, fearing that the two of them would not be able to get out of the car tonight if they continued.

"Yes, is it okay?" Zhuang Sheng half-opened his eyes and asked very modestly.He has always been very serious about learning things that he doesn't understand.

Although this kind of thing was done to Meng Yan last time, it was when he was drunk, not to mention the specific situation was different from now.So when Meng Yan said that his attire was not suitable for the bar environment, he cooperated with him and allowed him to "transform".

What a crime.

Meng Yan looked at Zhuang Sheng's appearance in his arms at this time, and suddenly felt like lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot.Originally, he was afraid that the young man's obedient appearance would easily lead to covetousness, and he wanted to stamp his mark on him-but now that he looked at it, this appearance was even more intriguing.

"Shengsheng, if you confirm the murderer, just call me, you know?"

In the end, Meng Yan, who was reluctant and worried in every way, told Zhuang Sheng over and over again before letting Zhuang Sheng go.

-

Another half an hour passed, and when Zhuang Sheng suspected that his deduction was wrong, that the murderer would not appear in the few bars he selected and wanted to leave, suddenly a person sat down beside him.

"This is your first time here, are you waiting for someone?"

The man was wearing a white shirt and black suit pants, which was an extremely serious match, but he wore it with a sense of abstinence.The man is obviously a master in love, and he knows how to show his charm. When sitting next to Zhuang Sheng, he chose the right distance - neither too close to give people a feeling of oppression and frivolity, nor too far away to express intimacy.

However, what he did was tantamount to winking to the blind, because at this moment only one thought flashed through Zhuang Sheng's mind:

It's him, it's him!

Almost every cell in Zhuang Sheng was on guard. The man took his reaction as a normal defense against strangers, smiled at him, and automatically distanced himself a little.

"Don't be nervous, I just see you sitting alone and want to chat with you."

Zhuang Sheng slowly let himself relax. He was afraid that Meng Yan would come in immediately if he noticed, so he didn't say anything, but just stared at the man, sizing him up quietly.His eyes stayed on the man's fingers for a moment, and then moved away as if nothing had happened.

The fingers are coated, and the skin on the left thumb is abnormal, obviously wearing something.

Zhuang Sheng lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Do you like playing games?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted and asked with a smile, "Why, do you like playing games? What kind of games do you like?"

Zhuang Sheng stared straight into his eyes, "Werewolf."

The man's eyes were blank for a moment, but he quickly laughed, "I can't tell, you would like this type of game. Although I don't play it, it sounds very interesting. Can you tell me about it?" While talking, the man approached Zhuang Sheng with a very natural movement, and put his hand on it.

Before his hand landed on the back of the sofa behind Zhuang Sheng, an arm crossed from the side and grabbed the man's collar, lifting him up.Squeeze your hand down your arm, pinch your wrist and turn it around, you can see that the thumb's fake leather-like film is stained with white crystalline powder.

Meng Yan's eyes darkened slightly, he twisted his arms and turned back, and heard a crisp sound.The man was also stubborn, and he carried it hard without making a sound. Then Meng Yan switched to the other hand and removed his arm as well.

Confirming that this person would no longer have the strength to resist, Meng Yan kicked him before stepping back and pulling Zhuang Sheng up from the sofa.

Zhuang Sheng pursed his lips, and wisely kept silent at this time.

Two other plainclothes squatting at the bar ran over, took out their IDs and sent the bar attendant away, they first looked down at the man on the ground who was sweating in pain, then turned their heads to block Zhuang Sheng from showing him, and Meng Yan, whose face was slightly gloomy, didn't know how to speak for a while.

——This looks like a scene of catching rape. Are they interfering, or are they not interfering?

"..." Although Zhuang Sheng didn't know what the two plainclothes men had imagined, he thought it was strange that everyone was silent like this, especially when there was a newly caught killer lying on the ground.Then he coughed and said:

"Since the murderer has been caught, take him back."

Two plain clothes: "..."

Didn't it turn out to be a jealous fight?

The three killers were all dealt with, but Zhuang Sheng didn't show a relaxed expression on his face.Sitting in the car, he frowned slightly, lowered his head in thought, and didn't even notice that Meng Yan had fastened his seat belt on him.

"They don't seem to know that they are a card in the game. How did that person do it? He said this is the first round, so it's over now. Is there a second round?"

Unconsciously, he said what he was thinking, and suddenly his face was lightly touched. Zhuang Sheng regained his senses and looked up.Meng Yan was staring at him with helplessness in his eyes.

"Shengsheng, do you know what is the most important thing in fighting such a criminal?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Sheng sat up straight and put on a very serious expression, "What is it?"

"Keep at your own pace."

Zhuang Sheng was slightly stunned, showing a blank expression, "My own pace? Why?"

Meng Yan pinched his nose, "Because once you are led by the nose, you will not be far from falling into their trap."

Zhuang Sheng thought for a while, nodded his head very receptively, and looked at Meng Yan with admiration and gratitude in his eyes, "Brother Yan, you are right, so I want to go back and study his past experience carefully, before he makes a move Predict his next move in advance so that he won't be too passive, right?"

Meng Yan: "..."

I just want him to get out of the case, not to be so tense all the time, otherwise it will be too much sooner or later.But looking at the bright eyes of the other party's implied expectation, I can't say anything negative.

Meng Yan paused, then simply leaned over and kissed his lips.

"Yes, in times like this, you can actually take the initiative.

-

Meng Yan's plan to let Zhuang Sheng relax and take a good rest tonight was quickly shattered.Because just when they had just returned to the game, the player who played the game reconnected with them through the computer Meng Yan retrieved and sent a video.

"It's a pity that they were all wiped out on the third night. Although you don't follow the rules that much, but seeing how dedicated each of you is, I don't care about some people's occasional cheating.

"The first round was lost, so let's start the second round. In order to make the game more interesting, I decided to change the identities of both of us. That is to say, dear friend, the one who got the werewolf card this time, It's you."

The video ended here, Zhuang Sheng frowned.

Shi Ke was a little dazed, "What do you mean by changing your identity?"

Xu Jie scratched his head and guessed uncertainly: "He said that the werewolf card is in our hands this time, which means that we are killers, is he a villager? Let us kill him?"

Shi Ke: "We have always wanted to get rid of him, okay? If this is the case, is there any need to make a game?"

"It's not that simple." Zhuang Sheng said slowly, he looked at Meng Yan, and saw the same seriousness in Meng Yan's eyes.

"What does that mean?" Shi Ke and Xu Jie asked in unison.

Zhuang Sheng paused, not knowing whether it was because of uncertainty or other reasons, he seemed a little hesitant.On the contrary, Meng Yan quickly regained his composure after the initial fluctuating expression, and asked a question.

"Do you still remember the 6.11 incident?"

Xu Jie was still at a loss, but Shi Ke slowly came to his senses, his face changed a little bit, "He doesn't want to play that kind of game again, he chooses to sacrifice the minority or sacrifice the majority?"

Meng Yan raised his head and looked out, his expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see any expression. He said two words in the same calm and emotionless voice.

"perhaps."

Zhuang Sheng and the others quickly got a definite answer as to what the man's real intentions were.

Early the next morning, an advertisement appeared on the homepage of the world's largest live streaming platform:

Live broadcast the most exciting "Werewolf Killing" for you.

There are many game anchors on this platform, and the fans are comparable to stars, so after this advertisement was posted, it immediately attracted many people.Netizens clicked on the link and found that the anchor didn't have a single historical record, and it looked like a new account just applied for.

—and this is indeed the number of the new application.After the person in charge of the platform discovered that there were inexplicably extra advertisements on the homepage, he immediately asked the technicians to delete them, but it turned out that they could not be deleted.

Zhuang Sheng received a link, clicked on it and found that it was a live broadcast URL.The live broadcast has not yet started, and the screen is frozen on a poker card of the heart K suit.

"Xu Jie, immediately contact the person in charge of this platform and ask him to remove this live broadcast." Shi Ke ordered with a dark face.

Xu Jie looked puzzled, "Team Shi, this is a foreign platform, and I'm afraid they won't agree to our request."

After hearing this, Shi Ke's face turned darker. Before he could say anything else, Meng Yan, who had been holding his mobile phone for a while now and didn't know what he was doing, put down his mobile phone and said something expressionless.

"It can't be undone."

As soon as he finished speaking, the frozen picture changed, and the playing card of King of Hearts turned into a poker mask of the same suit.

"It's my first live broadcast, so I'm a little nervous. Well, let's get straight to the point and introduce the two sides of the game first. As for me, this time I got a good card. Let's see how many villagers we have this time." The screen changes, It turns into four grids, each grid has a chair, and there is a person sitting on each chair: a man, a woman, an old man, and a child.

All four of them were tied to chairs and their mouths were tied with cloth strips.They all had a card on their bodies, a villager card, and their serial numbers were marked on the bottom.

"This time is a trial game, because the friend who got the werewolf card is still a killer for the first time, and he may not be proficient in business. In order to let him get familiar with it first, I have this trial game, which can be regarded as a simple tutorial."

"That killer friend, please pay attention, now I say 'please close your eyes when it's dark', 'please open your eyes', you just open your eyes, and then designate which one of the four will be killed by you, that is, decide which one of the four will be killed by you today. Who will die later."

The brisk and sloppy tone has already caused a lot of scolding, and the comments scrolling on the screen are all:

"Are you kidding? Is this considered a live game?"

"What a mess, the anchor can die."

"Which family's stupid and rich son came out to show off his IQ? Is that how Werewolf Killing is played? Don't insult this classic game, okay?"

"The anchor is still wearing a stupid mask, oh my god, anyone can post ads on the homepage now? How much money did rich dad donate to it?"

"I'm the only one who thinks, does that four-frame video look real?"

Compared with the relaxed atmosphere of abuse or ridicule on the Internet, the atmosphere of Danteng City Bureau is a bit dignified.Because only they know, that man, his joke, was never a real joke.

Judging from the background of the video, the four people were locked in the same place.Judging from everyone's mental state, they should not have just been arrested, and have been locked up for at least a day or two.

So, in fact, that person has been planning this so-called game for a long time, so how many tricks has he prepared?

There is a pervert who doesn't take human life seriously and will take anyone as a hostage. Whoever meets him is really unlucky.And when that pervert goes after a certain person and doesn't let go, that person will suffer eight lifetimes of bad luck.

This is the unanimous voice of Shi Ke and others after watching the video at this time.

After saying those words, a big number "10" jumped out of the live broadcast screen, and the countdown began.Seeing this, Shi Ke couldn't help but swear aloud.

At this time, all eyes were on Zhuang Sheng.

Zhuang Sheng pinched the phone, and the screen of the phone was displaying a website link sent in the form of a text message.

Everyone around had ugly faces and was filled with righteous indignation, but it seemed that Zhuang Sheng, the client, was very calm.Equally calm, there was also Meng Yan, who reached out and grabbed Zhuang Sheng's phone, about to take it over and send it for him.

Zhuang Sheng refused.

Seeing that the number had jumped to "3", Zhuang Sheng pressed twice on the phone screen, which showed that the sending was successful.

The countdown number jumped to "2" and then to "1", and then I saw that the four people who were tied to the chair suddenly shook their bodies, and each of them had an arrow in front of them—the arrow that shot into the child's body. The arrow even passed through the body.

When seeing this scene, the comments went blank for a moment.

"Isn't it already chosen? Why do you want to kill?!" Shi Ke suddenly became furious, and smashed his fist on the table, so angry that the veins on his forehead burst out.

Zhuang Sheng's mind also went blank for a moment, and he subconsciously glanced at his phone, wondering if it hadn't been sent.The phone was still on the screen where the text message was successfully sent, and that single serial number seemed like a mockery at this moment.

After a short period of silence, the comments on the live broadcast exploded in an instant.

"Hold the grass, hold the grass, anchor 666, was that a special effect just now? How did you do it? It looks so real."

"It can't be a real murder, right? The child's painful expression and the blood on his body look very real."

"So is this a real killing game? Hahaha, the host is so creative."

Among the various comments, Mr. anchor sounded an insincere voice as soon as he heard it:

"Ah, I'm sorry, I just saw it. The signal is not good and delayed, so you can't blame me."

The poker mask moved, and the man seemed to look up at the camera, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

"Today's trial game is over here. It will officially start soon, so stay tuned."

"I was a little excited when I got the good man card. Because—" he said slowly with a drawn out tone.

"I still have a dream, which is to be a good person again."
