The villain is trapped in the system and begs me to let him out [Moriarty who worries about the coun

Opposite the gate of Beiyu University, a bus had just entered the station, and a row of red letters was lit up on the front of the bus - "Go to the train station".

At the station, the girl was carrying a small lavender suitcase. Just as she was about to get on the train, she was grabbed by the wrist by someone behind her. When she looked back, it was Du Ruoying.

"Sister Ruoying, what's the matter?" Li Ruiqing put down the suitcase and watched the bus drive away.

"It's nothing serious," Du Ruoying smiled politely, "Sorry for delaying your train, but you seem to have missed something."

"what?"

"This pen——I picked it up in the dressing room last night. It looks very expensive. It's your pen, right? It was used to draw lots for everyone."

"It's mine, that's right, thank you senior sister for making a special trip to send it here." Li Ruiqing took the pen and frowned sadly, "The pen itself is not expensive, but it is really important to me because it is my sister's birthday gift A gift. I thought I had already taken it away last night, but I didn’t expect it to be left there.”

"It probably fell out of my pocket later. I picked it up on the ground." Du Ruoying explained, "Since it is a precious thing, you should take care to put it away."

"Ah."

"By the way, where did you go when everyone split up last night?" Du Ruoying suddenly changed the topic.

"I... I went to the bathroom at that time, and then I got separated from Senior Liao Jun and the others." Li Ruiqing lowered her head guiltily, "The phone was dead at the time, so I couldn't contact everyone."

"You didn't go to the medical laboratory building?"

"No," Li Ruiqing looked at Du Ruoying innocently, "Why do you ask?"

"That's weird."

"Where... is it strange?"

"Because this pen was actually found in the basement of the medical laboratory building."

"How come?" Li Ruiqing suddenly widened her eyes angrily, "Didn't you say you picked it up in the dressing room?"

"Sorry, I lied." Du Ruoying said so, but there was no apology on her face, but her eyes became sharper.

The corners of Li Ruiqing's mouth twitched slightly, and then a treacherous smile appeared: "Senior sister, such clumsy clichés can't fool people. If the pen was really found in the basement, you would have handed it over to the police long ago, and I won't either." There is a chance to catch the train with peace of mind."

"Ah, you saw through it," Du Ruoying shrugged helplessly, "That's right, I didn't pick up the pen in the basement."

Li Ruiqing breathed a sigh of relief.

"But it wasn't in the dressing room. It was picked up by Liao Jun during his separate operations last night. He wanted to return it to you, but he couldn't find you. Then he remembered that all the girls in Jianyuan lived in the same building. dormitory, so please let me return the pen to you."

"So that's the case." Li Ruiqing nodded, "Then why did senior sister tell me such a clumsy lie?"

"This lie is indeed clumsy, but isn't your answer not much better?" Du Ruoying said, "The fifth person who was hiding at the scene was actually you, right?"

"Senior sister, I can't understand what you are talking about." Li Ruiqing unconsciously took half a step back.

"As the fifth person at the scene, although the knife was cut on brother Xian's arm, it undoubtedly caused Teacher Xu's inevitable death. It stands to reason that this is also a crime of intentional homicide."

Li Ruiqing's expression froze, and her lips began to turn pale: "Senior sister's conjecture is really interesting...it's a pity not to use it to write a script."

"You think this is just conjecture?"

"Without evidence, of course it can only be called conjecture."

"Well, let me guess a little further—William encouraged you to do it, didn't you?"

Li Ruiqing was stunned.

"Sister, wake up, don't be used by him..."

"It has nothing to do with him!" Li Ruiqing suddenly raised her voice, her eyes turned red, "Senior sister, you are so smart, why don't you want to change your position and think about it? If it were you, you would hide in a corner of the basement, staring blankly. Watching Officer Du being gutted and put into a glass jar, how did you feel when he became the murderer's wicked toy? Finally, you waited for the murderer's chance to punish you, but saw him use strong acid to destroy the evidence of your crime. Your elder brother has been corrupted to the point where there is only a pool of black water left. From now on, he can continue to be his Professor Xu and be loved by the students, while you will live in helpless resentment and pain for the rest of your life."

Li Ruiqing paused, and raised the corners of her mouth weakly, "Now you finally have the opportunity to punish him instead of the law. This opportunity is only once in a lifetime. If you miss it, you will never meet again. What do you do? It is useful. Was someone instigated?"

Du Ruoying was at a loss for words.

The next bus bound for the train station came, and Li Ruiqing went straight up: "After all, why can one person accuse and persuade another person so calmly? I didn't understand the reason before, but now I finally Got it—because everyone else is just an outsider except myself, that’s why I stand in the right place and say the right thing.”

"That's not the case," Du Ruoying's gaze was still clear through the translucent car window, "After listening to what you said, I do understand your mood better. If I was the one who went through all this, I'm afraid I would make peace with you." Same decision as you."

Recalling the scar on Du Ruoxian's wrist again in her mind, Du Ruoying suddenly understood that Li Ruiqing at this moment is actually the same as herself back then.

"But after this, I will choose to surrender." Du Ruoying said.

Li Ruiqing's pupils suddenly moved.

"In the interrogation room, I will be honest about what I saw in the basement, and in front of the world, I will expose Mr. Xu's crimes, instead of becoming a person who evades the law like him."

The car started slowly and then drove away.At the seat that Du Ruoying couldn't see, Li Ruiqing was already sobbing.

At noon, William returned to the teacher's apartment with a tired face.

"Are you back?" Du Ruoying deliberately pretended to be busy arranging dishes at the table, keeping a distance from him, her tone was cold, and she didn't lift her eyelids.

"Well, the police suddenly gave up investigating my suspicion." William sat on the sofa, with a hint of displeasure in his indifferent expression, "because classmate Li Ruiqing turned himself in."

Du Ruoying paused for a while, "That...that's pretty good, congratulations."

"Student Xiaoying did all of this, right?"

Du Ruoying was silent for a moment, then calmly said, "I'm right."

"Why did you do such a cruel thing?"

"I believe that she herself does not want to be a deserter for the rest of her life, and her testimony can completely confirm the crime of Teacher Xu."

"This kind of person is not worth losing the precious lives of five girls, let alone calling him a 'teacher'." William corrected calmly.

"For the first four people, I really have nothing to say, but for the fifth person, you are also responsible, dear Professor Moriarty?" Du Ruoying deliberately bit the word "professor" very hard, "said After all, isn’t this exactly how you designed it?”

"I didn't design it like this. If you don't meddle in your own business, Xu Fu will fall down by himself. Li Ruiqing would not have been involved, let alone do such a stupid thing as surrender under your persuasion." William said coldly He said coldly, "Student Xiaoying, you are really an unpleasant and unstable factor. Taking the life of one classmate after another and playing your childish detective game, doesn't it make you feel very interesting?"

"Don't try to throw the pot away—"

"I've seen her academic performance. She is excellent. She could have become an excellent architect, replacing her sister, and witnessing her future life. But now, you personally dragged her into the life trajectory of a murderer." William crossed his fingers, touched his chin lightly, and looked at Du Ruoying's trembling back, "Have you ever thought about how she will spend the next few decades? That Xu's life is worth her Pay such a high price?"

The light words, like a small stone, suddenly broke through the window paper covering Du Ruoying's heart, then fell into the water and disappeared, leaving only the pain in her heart spreading slowly like ripples.

"Surrender is her own choice." Du Ruoying stopped trembling, and her back regained her strength. "You should pray for yourself first, and pray that she won't confess you."

"What confession? I haven't discussed anything with her beforehand." William leaned on the sofa, his body slowly relaxed, "You are wrong, Xiaoying, this kind of thing does not need to be instigated by others. No matter who it is, stand When I get to her position, I can only do that. What I have done is just paving the way for her."

"However, if you hadn't discussed it with her in advance, how could she have gone there then?"

"At that time, even you could tell that drawing lots and splitting up were clumsy lies. Why couldn't she? As long as she followed us secretly, it would not be difficult to enter the basement."

"Okay, even if you didn't instigate her, let me ask you—what are you going to do if Junior Li Ruiqing pleads not guilty? After all, you were the one who dropped the gas, and all the traces of the fight at the scene point to you. Are you going to do it for me? I have suffered, let myself be stigmatized? The Napoleon of the criminal world is so kind, there is such a good thing in the world, why have I never heard of it?"

She was sure that, as the chess player behind the scenes, he must feel uncomfortable seeing the pieces in his hand end up like this.No matter what his abacus was, it is now in vain.Now, she wants to ask his real intention, even if he doesn't ask, the question itself can hurt him severely.

Maybe this is the way the two of them are destined to get along with each other, using the cruelest words to step on each other's defenses.

"In your eyes," William suddenly lowered his eyelashes, and his voice became lower, "The name Moriarty is already a stigma, isn't it?"

Um?What's with this deflated answer?

"I... I didn't say that!" Du Ruoying said guiltily, and suddenly felt a sense of guilt for bullying the weak.

"Anyway, I'm already the stigma itself," William continued, "If you recite one more, what's the difference..." His voice was very soft, and soon weakened until it disappeared.

Du Ruoying turned around suspiciously, only to see his eyes slowly closing, his whole body was tilted to one side, his breathing became steady and slow——

actually fell asleep.

"Hey, at least have a meal before going to sleep." She pushed him, but he didn't move at all, "What are you doing? Don't make it look like the police station abused you, okay? After an interrogation, you're sleepy like this? "

Strange, still can't wake up.

If she hadn't seen the same situation in the library last time, she would have wondered if he suddenly fell ill.

Du Ruoying sighed helplessly, and brought a thin blanket to cover him, only to see his lips move slightly, suddenly pursed into a nice line.

Um?This is……

Have a reaction?

Looking at his golden eyelashes trembling unconsciously, and his innocent and quiet sleeping face like a child, she couldn't help but feel a little fascinated.Although she didn't know what happened, this situation was really precious. Only when he fell into this abnormal sleep state, could she see him so defenseless and harmless.

Harmless to humans and animals...?

This reminded Du Ruoying suddenly of last night - facing her misunderstanding, his first reaction was to double the provocation, and he also said something like "If you don't like me, try to punish me" , aggravated her suspicion even more.

In fact, he just wanted to take all the suspicion on himself, right?

If Du Ruoxian hadn't put forward a new idea about the number of people present at that time, she might really have believed——

It is believed that the person who killed Xu Fu was William.

Why do you want to do this?

What good would it do him?

Du Ruoying suddenly found that even though she had already learned about his life through "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes", even though they had been together for so long, she still couldn't understand him at all.

Although this guy always belittles the law and laughs at justice, there is a misplaced sense of justice faintly emanating from him.

Just like myself back then...

"Why do you always pretend to be a prickly hedgehog, Will?" Du Ruoying murmured unconsciously.

She obviously just wanted to help Li Ruiqing, even at the risk of betting her own life and reputation.Why does such a person always put on a heinous posture towards her?

On the other side, in the police station.

"Ruoxian, good news or bad news, which one do you want to hear?" Officer Lu walked in, holding a stack of documents high in his hand.

"Bad news." Du Ruoxian said casually.

"Ahhh," Police Officer Lu moved closer to his computer, "why are you writing an inspection again? Looks like Team Lu and Team Yuan are the same breed... Forget it, let me tell you the good news first, to make you happy. The person on your arm has just surrendered! It's the girl in charge of screenwriting in your drama club——Li Ruiqing, she admitted that she wanted to kill Xu Fu on purpose."

Hearing this, Du Ruoxian was stunned for a moment: "What about the bad news?"

"Didn't we follow the clue of the illegal trade to investigate Xu Fu's murder of the four female students? That clue is broken."

"broken?"

"We found the supplier, but we were one step too late. The person had already been silenced, and the scene was turned into a mess. The computer and transaction ledger were gone, so this chain of evidence may not be able to go on." Officer Lu said. , "But we found this—"

He handed the document to Du Ruoxian, and when he flipped through it, he saw that it was a piece of burnt paper fragments, and a number 6 in Gothic font was impressively printed on the paper.

"Mansion No. 6?"

"That's right," Officer Lu nodded. "The information was burned in the early morning. It should be done by the victim himself. I guess he wanted to destroy things and run away. He failed. He was killed around five in the morning and found by the police at ten o'clock." The only clue found at the scene pointed to Mansion No. 6, so I am applying for a joint case of 6 illegal drug smuggling and murder related to Mansion No. 621."

"Is it a coincidence?" Du Ruoxian pondered.

"what?"

"As soon as we were about to find the door, he failed to escape and was killed." Du Ruoxian frowned, "It's almost like—"

"Someone heard something from the police in advance."
