Sun Suhe turned over, hugged a sofa cushion, adjusted his posture, and found the most comfortable angle to lie on his back on the sofa. The magic circle under him continued to bring warm coolness, quietly relaxing his body.
of discomfort.
Sun Suhe closed his eyes, remembering the feeling of lying on the grass and rolling on the grass when he went for an outing in the spring. The drizzle in the sky was as thin as silk, and it seemed like it was not there. On the ground, large grass seedlings stubbornly broke through the soil, vying to emerge; in the air
, the fragrance of green grass warmly brushed the nose, and the whole person was immersed in a sense of vitality and joy.
It's a pity that the other feelings are completely the same, except that the smell of grass is missing, which can only be filled by memories. Just as Sun Suhe was thinking this, a wisp of elegant and mellow tea fragrance suddenly blurred the boundary between reality and memory, and hit him inexplicably.
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Alice handing him a cup of hot tea.
"Be careful when drinking. It's a bit hot. This will help you recover faster." Alice warned.
"Um."
Sun Suhe took the wide-mouthed glass cup and held it with both hands, feeling the aroma of tea continue to spread with the heat. Although there was no grass aroma, this wisp of tea aroma was enough to comfort him.
Alice sat down next to Sun Suhe and said solemnly: "At 23:23 on the evening of August 14th, although I am not 100% sure that you are the murderer's next target, at present,
The possibility of showing up is something we have to take seriously. What do you think?"
Sun Suhe took a sip of hot tea and sorted out his thoughts, "It's the morning of August 10th, and it's 23:23 on August 14th. There are only about four days left before that time.
A little. However, this time is the time of death. No matter what the purpose is, since the murderer has a precise idea of the time of death,
It is an accurate requirement, so in order to ensure this, he must prepare in advance. Moreover, in the previous cases, he has seamlessly faked them into events that have nothing to do with him. This is definitely not something that can be done in a short time.
.In other words, we should assume that right now, the murderer has begun to prepare for me."
"Indeed, we should be lenient when we predict the enemy. We should think about countermeasures based on this assumption." Alice nodded in agreement. She casually flipped up a few strands of hair hanging from her shoulders. While organizing her thoughts, she analyzed: "And it's also
One thing, I think the murderer is likely to be two people or even more. Anyway, there is at least one outsider with extraordinary abilities and a layman who is extremely familiar with the police's handling of cases."
"Why do you say that? Couldn't the murderer be an outsider who is familiar with the way the police handle cases? I remember watching a criminal investigation documentary, in which a policeman said: Premeditated criminal behavior with the purpose of killing,
The vast majority of crimes are committed by a single person. After all, it is murder. Taking another person's life also means risking your own life. In this case, it is difficult for the murderer to establish mutual trust with another person and achieve cooperation.
"
"What you said makes sense, but the problem is that both you and the patrol officer have the same misunderstanding about magic. You have a mature worldview, which makes you not believe in magic at all. But once
After you accept the existence of magic, it is easy to overestimate the power of magic. Magic is not omnipotent. Those who have this ability
People are definitely not omnipotent. I would never have imagined many details of this serial murder case, including Zhao Huainan and others, if not for the veteran police officer You who personally explained them. Looking at their expressions at the time, I knew that they were the same. In these details
It's not something you can do with magic. So, I think the murderer is very likely to be the combination I guessed."
"Yes, when you say that, it's true." Sun Suhe thought about it carefully and agreed. He held the cup, gently rubbed the cup wall with his fingers, and sighed while drinking tea: "In the final analysis, information is still not enough.
Symmetry, I know too little. Hey, wait a minute, if you think about it from your perspective, it means that they also know nothing about you and your magic, then we also have an information advantage."
"You just found out." Alice said with a proud smile: "I planted the seeds in Zhao Huainan and the others, and they didn't notice it at all."
"Hey, when was it planted? When it was at Officer You's house?" Sun Suhe was very curious.
"No, it's part of the trap in the subway station. In fact, Du Fuxian's reaction made me guess. As expected, people in this world are completely unfamiliar with many of my methods, so naturally they can't talk about it.
Be careful, although we are also in love with each other. Do you think I worked so hard to decorate those things in that abandoned subway station just to play with them? "
Sun Suhe couldn't help but complain: "I really thought so. I feel like you are someone who does such boring things."
Alice pinched Sun Suhe's face and said, "Idiot, I am you."
"I really don't understand how I could become as boring as you." Sun Suhe said with a smile.
"This shows that you are still not sincere to yourself. I died once, and I have long since given up attachment. I have realized it. I have realized it."
As soon as this topic was mentioned, Sun Suhe suddenly felt heavy, "Ah, I didn't mean that. I meant..."
"Haha, I don't mind." Alice waved her hand calmly, "Come back, we thought before that I, eh, no, it was you, and that you might die because you were accidentally involved in an incident.
But now it seems that the so-called accident is probably inevitable, and the murderer has most likely noticed you or even me. In this way, our prophetic advantage will not be so obvious.
In four days, our previous idea of finding the murderer first seems to be unrealistic. We might as well communicate with Officer You more, maybe it will be easier for him to find a breakthrough. I think
, we should change our thinking, why not just wait and see, I will find a way to prepare, well, at least try first to see if I can deal with your resentment."
"Yes, although this resentment has not had any impact so far, when I think about it, I still feel..." Sun Suhe thought of Zhao Huainan's terrifying faces and shrill wails reflected in the flames, and unconsciously clenched his hands tightly.
After a few minutes, however, the palm of the hand suddenly became empty, and then Alice heard a low cry.
He looked down and saw that the cup in his hand was somehow broken at the waist. The upper half was still held in his hand, and the lower half was floating in the air with the remaining tea. It was obviously Alice's reaction.
Hurry up and save the day.
"What happened?" Sun Suhe took the upper half of the cup in front of his eyes and took a closer look. The cut was flat and smooth. It didn't look like it was cracked by heat or force. It looked like it was cut in half diagonally by some magic weapon.
.
Alice manipulated the airflow to dispose of the remaining tea. She picked up the lower half of the cup and looked at it carefully for a long time, but she couldn't see any clue at all.
