please don't believe me

At ten o'clock in the morning, it had been more than twelve hours since the shooting occurred.

Du Bai got into the car sent by the Shen family and went to the Shen residence again.The morning mist has dissipated, the sun shines on the body through the car window, and the street market begins to be lively.

However, as the car drove into the high-end residential area, this excitement gradually faded away.Compared with other quiet residences, Shen's house has a very different atmosphere.The car stopped at the door, only then did Du Bai realize that there were young men walking back and forth in the courtyard.They wore ordinary civilian clothes, but they looked and behaved like soldiers.Guessing from the way they passed by the iron fence, Shen Ximing probably arranged for a shift of soldiers to patrol back and forth along the inner wall of Shen's courtyard.

Does Shen Ximing think that the threat comes from outside?

If Shen Ximing really thought so, it would be a good thing, but Du Bai didn't think the young colonel would be so easy to deceive.In fact, Du Bai had roughly guessed the situation he would face later.

Shen Yuyao must have woken up.Du Bai inadvertently glanced at the sun shining on the ground, passing through the vestibule of Shen's house.

Facts have proved that Du Bai is correct.He was taken directly into a reception room, which was already full of people, and he looked around and saw everyone he knew—Shen Ximing, his adjutant, Sergeant Zhang, the orderly smoking together, Zhou Chunli and Shen Yuyao from the Arc de Triomphe.

Shen Yuyao looked quite restless.She only sat on half a chair, with her back straight, her arms resting on her legs as if she wanted to straighten, and she held two fists in her hands.

When she saw Du Bai enter the door, her eyes were clearly shining with hope.

However, Du Bai is doomed not to be able to say the words to save her.Facing this scene of group confrontation, Du Bai sneered from the bottom of his heart, and gave an appropriate puzzled expression to everyone's eyes, even though he was very clear about what had happened and what was about to happen.

"You're here." Colonel Shen pointed to the specially added stool opposite, "Sit."

Du Bai obeyed and sat down.This is a soft stool without a backrest, and it may also be used as a footrest sometimes.Without a place to lean on, you can only straighten your waist all the time, not only tired, but also insecure.There is a tea table in the middle, facing Du Bai is Shen Ximing who occupies the couch exclusively, and his adjutant is standing behind the sofa; Shen Yuyao is sitting on the single sofa to the left of the table, and opposite her is another woman, Zhou Chunli.Du Bai was closer to Shen Yuyao, Sergeant Zhang and the orderly stood between him and Zhou Chunli, only a step back from where Du Bai was sitting.

"From now on, everyone is here." Colonel Shen glanced at Shen Yuyao, "Let's talk."

Shen Yuyao seemed to have been asked this question many times, and she looked at Shen Xiuyuan full of dissatisfaction.She took a deep breath, exhaling longer than inhaling, her tone was irritated and aggrieved: "I don't know why I shot, I don't remember it at all!"

She frowned and glanced at Zhou Chunli: "I remember hearing someone announce that Zhou Chunli was going to play. I remember seeing the band in suits, and then I opened my eyes. It was morning. Before today, I didn't remember seeing Miss Zhou herself."

She just said the first sentence, Du Bai's eyes suddenly widened.The more she talked, the more surprised and confused Du Bai became, and several times he even opened his mouth to interrupt such absurd speech.After Shen Yuyao stopped speaking, Du Bai quickly glanced at other people's reactions, which is a common action to seek a sense of approval.

Others were of course also very surprised, but they had heard it once or even several times before, and it can be said that they were shocked to the point of numbness, and now they are only full of doubts.

"Du Bai." Shen Xiuyuan called his name, "What do you think?"

Du Bai looked at the sharp-eyed Colonel Shen, then at Shen Yuyao, frowned and said, "When Miss Zhou came on stage, you turned your head and told me 'she's here', don't you remember?"

Shen Yuyao thought about it for a while, then shook her head.

"What about me talking to you about her song?"

Shen Yuyao still shook her head.

"Shall I go out to smoke?"

"I really don't know!" Shen Yuyao turned to Du Bai and said angrily, "I remember that band after I told you, and it's this morning! I don't know why it happened!"

Shen Xiuyuan seemed to be watching a play, and casually stopped him: "Calm down first."

"I can't calm down!" Shen Yuyao was irritated, "Everyone thinks I want to kill you, brother! But I don't!"

Before Shen Xiuyuan replied, Shen Yuyao jumped up and stared at him: "Even you think so, my dear brother. You called so many people here just to prove that I am a criminal!"

The adjutant walked over quickly and tried to stop her, but she bypassed Du Bai, Sergeant Zhang and others from the other side, and rushed out the door.The adjutant chased him out, and came back after a while, whispering to Shen Xiuyuan, "She went upstairs to her room."

Shen Xiuyuan replied: "Take care of her."

The adjutant nodded: "I have already ordered."

Shen Xiuyuan looked at Du Bai, the young man seemed to be stunned by the sudden confrontation, and he said after a while, "I'm sorry."

"If you are talking about stimulating her just now, then there is no need." Shen Xiuyuan said, "However, Shen Yuyao said that you wanted to see the gun, so she carried it with her. I wonder what you think about this matter?"

Shen Xiuyuan's way of changing the topic is very directional and aggressive, but Du Bai will not follow his way easily.

"I can't deny this. I really want to see her gun, because I'm interested in it." This question can be told truthfully, and Du Bai has no reason to hesitate. "I can also tell you that I also have a gun. at home."

"Why do you need a gun?"

"Is this strange? Colonel, you can regard this as a social need." Du Bai said, "Many of us have guns, but enjoyment is more important than use, and bullets are not always loaded in the guns. Even if you want to go to the shooting range, Guns and bullets are also loaded separately."

Shen Xiuyuan probably could have guessed that it was these bastards messing around that reminded Shen Yuyao that she had a gun, but: "You mean, you usually don't equip guns with live ammunition?"

"Of course not! It's very dangerous, and for us, bullets are not easy to buy and can't be wasted at will." Du Bai gave him a strange look, "I only found out last night that Shen Yuyao's gun can be fired at any time. Dare to touch it."

Shen Xiuyuan asked a weird question: "Is Henry Zhang's gun equipped with live ammunition?"

Du Bai didn’t seem to expect to hear Henry Zhang’s name at this moment, he froze for a moment as if confirming the question, and then replied: “I don’t know.”

Shen Xiuyuan temporarily accepted this answer, and then turned the topic back: "You were the last person before Shen Yuyao raised his gun, and the first person to meet her after that, what do you think of her words?"

"My opinion may be very unfavorable to her, Colonel." Du Bai turned to Shen Xiuyuan, "The questions I just raised all actually happened. She discussed Miss Zhou with me, and this point was discussed last night... Oh, this morning, I already told you."

"You think she's lying?"

"My memory tells me, yes," Du Bai replied, "she stayed sober until I left to smoke."

Shen Xiuyuan asked again: "Why did you choose to smoke while Miss Zhou was singing?"

Du Bai suddenly remembered what Zhou Chunli said earlier that a song was specially sung for him, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the woman on the right, then turned his gaze back to the opposite side: "I'm addicted to cigarettes."

"But Miss Zhou said that you have an appointment, and you want to hear her sing."

really.Du Bai showed a helpless expression: "Is it necessary to say this so clearly in front of the lady, Colonel? You don't want to say that because I didn't listen to Zhou Chunli sing, Miss Shen..."

The adjutant shouted, "Du Bai!"

Combining Shen Yuyao with a singing girl, the young man's language is actually somewhat offensive.

"I'm sorry, I didn't choose my words." Of course the young man knew that this absurd speech was inappropriate, but he did it on purpose, "It's just Colonel Shen, respect is mutual. I have told you many things just now in the early morning, and now Ask again, I don’t know why.”

Du Bai pointed to Sergeant Zhang and the orderly beside him: "If they have any statement that is inconsistent with me, you can confront me directly. Guide me one sentence at a time, don't tell me you already think that I have a problem and want me to reveal it?" flaw?"

Shen Xiuyuan stared at him.He was the one who encouraged him to bring the gun, and he was the last person he saw, so he was indeed the most suspicious.However, Shen Xiuyuan did not have any evidence that Du Bai was behind it.The statements of Sergeant Zhang and the orderly are not contrary to him, and even the adjutant can prove his statement.Because when Shen Xiuyuan asked the adjutant to look for Shen Yuyao, it happened to be the time when Zhou Chunli came to power.The adjutant not only asked the non-commissioned officers and orderlies, but also quietly opened the door to see the situation in the box. At that time, Shen Yuyao and Du Bai seemed to be talking with their heads turned.

In the short communication between Shen Yuyao and Du Bai just now, Shen Xiuyuan couldn't see the sign that they were on the same side.Shen Yuyao's hunch was correct, all the evidence contradicted her words, she was the one who killed it.

There is only one point, her motivation.

Once the motive is found, the mastermind can be found.But according to what Shen Yuyao said now, she didn't know what she did, let alone why she did it.What's even more incredible is that Shen Xiuyuan felt that she wasn't lying.

The so-called "not lying" does not mean that Shen Yuyao did not do it, but that Shen Yuyao's emotions are true.Shen Xiuyuan has seen all kinds of people since he was a child, and he has been in a high position for many years, so his ability to know people must be top-notch.Shen Yuyao, a little girl who doesn't know much about the world, of course can't escape his eyes.

If Shen Xiuyuan had to objectively evaluate Shen Yuyao's performance just now, there was only one conclusion - she was telling the truth.

It's not impossible to have done it and not remember it.Shen Xiuyuan didn't understand how this happened, he hated this helplessness.He suspected Du Bai, but he had no clue about the method.

Du Bai finally gave an opinion: "I am a law student, and I have practiced some cases... Is it possible that this is a temporary amnesia? Some people will not remember the details clearly when they are stimulated."

Shen Xiuyuan was actually thinking in this direction, but Du Bai actually proposed it on his own initiative, which was somewhat unexpected: "It seems that you have an idea?"

"If you want Miss Shen to relive the situation at that time, I mean..." Du Bai looked at Zhou Chunli, "Restore the scene?"
