Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

At this moment, Professor Kang was sitting at the desk in the girl's boudoir, watching the girl vigorously opening and closing the drawer, and saying loudly, "Strange, I put it here."

There was a knock on the door, and the thin middle-aged woman came in with two cups of hot tea just now, and complained to the girl, saying that something like the student union application form could be lost, and it would only cause trouble for the teacher.

The woman looked at Professor Kang with a smiling face, and said that she would not disturb their conversation.There were only two people left in the room.

The girl is really like what Xu Minglang said, she doesn't wear makeup but she looks not like an ordinary person, her soft hair is all combed behind her head, and she shows her face openly, but she can't see any flaws in her face shape.

Contrary to her soft and delicate appearance, her eyes are calm and cold,

He looked at the girl and suddenly understood why she received special favor.

She has a different aura from others, she is very calm and resolute, she looks at him without fear, nor does she show any outward emotions. Among the people he knows, people with such eyes are generally Ranked high.

Professor Kang seldom felt embarrassed, but being in the same room with such a young and attractive girl came for an illusory story, which added drama to the current situation.He picked up the glass and blew on the white mist. Just as the hot thin tea was about to be delivered to his mouth, the girl asked suddenly.

"who are you?"

Professor Kang put down the cup, and the heat hit his glasses, making him unable to see clearly. He was suddenly a little embarrassed.

The girl handed over a tissue: "My name is Ye Jiawen."

He thanked him, dried his glasses, and replied truthfully: "My name is Kang, and I am in charge of the forensic psychological appraisal of the Rubik's Cube Killer case." what.

An indescribable shock, or rather fear, was erupting in his heart.

The two sat facing each other, but neither of them spoke.

It was Ye Jiawen who recovered first. She looked back at the door and spoke quickly: "I don't have much time, let's open the skylight and speak honestly. Professor Kang, I really hope you can trust Brother Lang, but this is the end of the matter." , everything is a foregone conclusion, I can only beg you..."

Professor Kang was still confused when Ye Jiawen suddenly stood up, moved the chair back, and then knelt down facing the empty space.

"What are you? Get up quickly..." He reached out to help, but was interrupted by Ye Jiawen.

"I beg you, don't let Brother Lang be sentenced to death. He is a good man and he didn't kill anyone." Ye Jiawen's eyes flashed with determination, "I know you have a way, even if Brother Lang is locked up in a mental hospital for a lifetime, it is better Better to be dead."

Professor Kang was completely stunned. It took him a lot of courage to keep himself from stepping back.

"Can I ask, how did you and Xu Minglang meet?"

Ye Jiawen stood up: "He told you everything, didn't he?"

Professor Kang was dizzy for a while, and fell back to his chair.

"...That's impossible. What he said is so outrageous..." Professor Kang said weakly, "I have also found other people, and they don't seem to know Xu Minglang. Yes, but why do you remember everything?"

"Because the game isn't over yet."

Professor Kang's hands were shaking like a sieve. Ye Jiawen took the cup from his hand, glanced at the door, and whispered, "Do you have any other questions? We've been here for too long, and they will get suspicious."

"Please wait a moment." Professor Kang stopped her, "Do you also think that this world is fake?"

"Since you came to me, it means you already have the answer, doesn't it?"

Ye Jiawen left this sentence and walked out of the room.

It has been a week since I left Ye Jiawen's house.

In the past seven days, Professor Kang lived like a walking dead. Even the cleaning aunt could see that he was not in the right condition, and asked him if he should take a break.

He looked at everyone who said this to him, and felt nothing but weirdness in his heart.He felt like an NPC who suddenly awakened in the game world. The character that was supposed to run according to the program suddenly had self-awareness, so he was out of tune with the world.

He regretted why he received Xu Minglang's case, and regretted why he approached Ye Jiawen.If not, his life is still as peaceful as before.Instead of recalling the past every day, flipping through photo albums, and convincing yourself that "I am real".

It will take some time for Xu Minglang's psychological appraisal results, and the Rubik's Cube killer case is being fermented on the Internet every day.The development of Internet media has given the serial murder case a new outlet, and it has also put the case handling under pressure from public opinion. The identification team dare not neglect, collecting Xu Minglang's medical records and diagnosis certificates almost every day, together with investigating his friends and colleagues. , neighbors, etc.In the end, Xu Minglang will be given auxiliary examinations, such as head CT, to ensure that their identification results will not be wrong.

All these things are beyond the control of Professor Kang alone.He had to disappoint Ye Jiawen, because he was almost certain that Xu Minglang was mentally normal.

He cannot escape the death penalty.

The time for the appraisal report to come out was getting closer and closer, and Xu Minglang was running out of days. He wanted to visit him, but he was unable to visit him due to criminal detention.

Xu Minglang seemed determined to die, and was about to take his last secret with him to a place where no one knew.

The hasty ending of the story made Professor Kang think hard day and night.

Since he couldn't get the answer from Xu Minglang, he locked himself in the study, transcribed everything he heard from beginning to end on the whiteboard, and sorted it out again and again, hoping to deduce the true ending by himself.

Assuming that the person was really killed by Xu Minglang, generally speaking, if he had the opportunity for a psychiatric appraisal, he would try his best to appear mentally abnormal to escape the death penalty.But Xu Minglang didn't do that, but told a story that sounded like a fabrication.

In other words, Xu Minglang never thought of winning a chance for himself to live.

This is the most confusing point for Professor Kang, because based on the two days of contact, he is [-]% sure that Xu Minglang did not kill him.

Doesn't Xu Minglang want to use his life to cover up the real murderer...

!!!

Professor Kang suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Ye Jiawen was simply wrong.

Of course Xu Minglang wanted to be sentenced to death!Because as he said, this world is a part of the game, as long as he dies and Zhou Xuerong starts the game again, everything will start again.In contrast, being locked up in a mental hospital and receiving treatment for a lifetime is worse than death.

Professor Kang, who has thought about this clearly, has gained something, and it is rare for him to be in a good mood.He cooked himself a big meal that night and opened a bottle of red wine to celebrate.He just drank two glasses, and when he was slightly drunk, he cried.

He had come to accept that the world he lived in was nothing more than a game.

Everything has potential, such as dream bubbles.It is like dew and electricity, so it should be viewed as such.The past 50 years of his life and all the things he has experienced are nothing but a big dream.

******

On Wednesday, three days before the results of the appraisal report came out, an unexpected visitor came to the detention center.

Xu Minglang's defense lawyer applied for a prison visit, and he was accompanied by a tall and unusually tall young man with middle-fat hair.He was carrying a big shopping bag, which was filled with cotton-padded clothes and trousers, as well as various daily necessities. After sitting down in front of the window, he was restless like a child, while the calm lawyer at the side formed a distinct Compared.

He whispered with the lawyer next to him about opening an account, and the lawyer whispered something next to his ear, making a soothing gesture, and both of them waited for the iron door inside the glass to be opened.

After a while, the door opened.

Xu Minglang was wearing a yellow vest, his hair was shaved short, and he looked thinner. When he sat on the chair, the handcuffs made a harsh clattering sound.

The lawyer picked up the phone and explained the matter of the trial to him calmly and clearly, so that he could have a good attitude and strive for probation.Xu Minglang lowered his head, intentionally ignoring the scorching gaze from the other side of the glass, and nodded perfunctorily, as if he had no interest in these words.

After explaining the business, the air suddenly became quiet.

The lawyer knocked on the dial to Zhou Xuerong who was on the side, reminding him to hurry up.

Zhou Xuerong took the phone and put his hand on the glass.The lover in front of me is obviously only separated by a window, but they are separated by thousands of miles.Thinking of this, the sour eyes couldn't bear to describe.

"Brother. I want to hear you talk."

"I'm fine, don't worry." Xu Minglang responded flatly.

Zhou Xuerong pinched his leg severely, and suppressed the sourness from his nose and mouth.

"I'm sorry...brother, I'm sorry...I'm useless, I didn't find any clues..."

Xu Minglang smiled calmly: "How many times have I said it, don't keep saying I'm sorry, like I usually abuse you."

Zhou Xuerong held back his sobs: "Brother Lang, do you know? You are a liar."

Only then did Xu Minglang look up at him with calm eyes.

Zhou Xuerong burst into tears.

"Brother, I regret it. I shouldn't have listened to you, I should have stayed...the person sitting inside should be me..."

"嗙——" The explosion was hidden behind thick glass.Xu Minglang put his palm on the glass, his eyes were sharp, and he whispered into the microphone.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Zhou Xuerong covered his eyes, in great pain.

He hated himself why he listened to Xu Minglang's words and left Binhai, and even more hated that he got nothing and couldn't bring him out of the sea of ​​suffering.

If time could be turned back, he hoped to stop Xu Minglang before he cut his wrists and bled him, or blocked his ears so as not to listen to those beautiful lies.
