For some reason, Zhang Ke always felt that there was a hint of cunning in it, similar to Troy's, even though that smile looked so sincere.
That's right - although this child is very different from Troy in appearance and personality, the only thing that is very similar is his cunning. It is a kind of temperamental collision, and it even makes people doubt that Troy is his biological father.
.
After all, it is impossible for ordinary people to have this kind of temperament that makes people angry for no reason just by looking at him and makes him want to go forward and beat that person up.
"Then, continue with your inference." Zhang Ke knew that the more he said now, the more wrong he would be, so he simply gave up on covering up and explaining, and was ready to let Qingyang continue talking on his own to see how much he guessed.
Zhang Ke has calmed down now. Even if the other party really guesses the truth, he probably won't find it strange.
"If the hypothesis I just made is true, then there are two possibilities for the thing hidden in the door - either it is something you desperately want to get, something more precious than any treasure in the world, but you can never get it.
.Or, it is a sin that you absolutely do not want others to see or know, even if they have suspicions, and must be hidden."
"... Very beautiful reasoning, continue." Zhang Ke said in a deep voice.
"But the first assumption is not valid as far as the current situation is concerned. It is easy for a time-traveler to enter an ordinary apartment. Even if the door is locked, you can still find other ways.
Break the door or take a detour - when I came here just now, I noticed outside that even the windows of this house are open, and the floors here are not high, so it is not impossible to sneak into the window in the middle of the night."
——He actually noticed such a detail as [602’s window is open]? It’s incredible. Obviously, he couldn’t have known in advance that there was a problem with 602 before following him into the building, so he paid special attention to the condition of 602’s windows.
ah.
Or - these things were all arranged by him from the beginning, and the so-called open window was also a scene he deliberately set up. But in this way, he would definitely not just know himself now, but someone who had known him very early.
Just laying it out... This conjecture is so terrible that even Zhang Ke himself doesn't think it is credible.
"So, if there is something in this room that you must get, but you don't dare to enter this room, it only means that the room is not only heavily guarded, but also personally guarded by someone who is difficult to deal with, so that you can
No matter what, we can't succeed, we can only look for an opportunity to do it when the other party is not at home." Qingyang raised his head and looked at Zhang Ke and asked:
"In this case, isn't it too strange that you dare to talk to me in front of this door for so long without quickly pulling me away or telling me to shut up and be quiet?"
"……so what?"
"So, I guess the reason that has hindered your life and made you so concerned about the things behind this door can only be the second one - there is something inside the door that you want to destroy no matter what.
It is evidence that you have committed a major crime. As long as it exists, you will be worried about it. As long as it is discovered by others, your reputation will be completely ruined."
Qingyang's words were loud and clear, and although Zhang Ke had expected that the other party could see something, his pupils still tightened immediately after hearing the words "destroy the corpses and eliminate traces".
——This was almost made clear. Zhang Kecai didn’t believe it. It was just a metaphorical coincidence. He had already guessed it. Could it be that he still couldn’t advance to the last step?
"In addition, from the conversation you had with the fat man opposite the door just now, I heard him say that it seemed that there was a lot of noise at the door last night. If it was not a coincidence, I think you were probably there at that time - but the difference is that it is different from now.
, you should be on the inside of the door, sharing a room with the most difficult thing for you to face."
As Qingyang spoke, he came to the door and sniffed gently. His action almost ignited a crazy murderous intention in Zhang Ke's heart - let alone now, in a previous reincarnation, he and Yuan
When Mengmeng came to pretend to visit Xu Xiaoli in the morning, she smelled a faint smell of blood and corpse stench through the crack in the door.
Of course, because the time of death was still very short, and the door was locked, this strange smell was not obvious. Therefore, even if a normal person passes by the door, if he does not calm down and smell it deliberately, he will probably not smell it.
You will notice the clues immediately.
However, Qingyang's current actions are almost equivalent to seeing the corpse in the house——
"As expected." Qingyang suddenly moved his nose away from the door, with a look of understanding on his face, but did not point out those two words, and just continued, "Such a troublesome big thing is indeed not a matter of time.
It can be dealt with, even if it takes a whole day to deal with it separately, it won't be enough. I'm afraid you encountered other situations last night and you can't stay in this room any longer."
"..." Zhang Ke didn't say anything at this time. He just looked at Qingyang quietly, preparing to wait for him to pour out the last pill from the gourd.
"Each of us time-traversers only have 24 hours to deal with a major event that can hinder the progress of life. Such conditions are too cruel and harsh. Fortunately, you have not spent countless reincarnations of time.
Focus on dealing with that thing, otherwise it will be really useless. Looking for other ways to solve the problem from the side is the right direction to consider."
Qingyang seemed to have deliberately not mentioned the word "corpse", either because he didn't want to attract the attention of passers-by, or because he didn't want to stimulate Zhang Ke's nerves, which were already stretched to the limit and on the verge of breaking out:
"Well, first of all, although my father is the police chief, he has always been a person who attaches great importance to fairness and justice. He will never be partial on such a principled issue. Even though he has such a useful network,
But I am afraid that not only will he not be able to help you, he will also advise you to surrender to the Public Security Bureau immediately."
"...I understand that I have more than one police connection, but it is impossible for them to favor me on such a serious issue." Zhang Ke nodded and said.
"Secondly, since that thing already exists, no matter how you cut it, burn it, or smash it, even if every inch and every piece of it is turned into powder, it will eventually leave traces that are noticeable, not to mention that in this era of information technology
In a developed era, intelligence cannot be completely deleted. So even if you escape for a while by destroying evidence and pretending, you will still have to live in panic." Qingyang said.
"That's right, and I don't intend to destroy it - I can't do it, especially if the real culprit who caused all this is really me." Zhang Ke said this, but it was also in his heart.
Real thoughts.
Although there are not many memories about Xu Xiaoli, except for a few meetings in bars, the only one was at Bianhua Sanatorium, but Zhang Ke always felt that although the other party had secrets, he was by no means a real evil person.
If it was true that Ritsuko said it was him who killed her, then committing an act of desecration and destruction to her body would be a limit that Zhang Ke's inner conscience could not bear.
