riddle

"Then what should we do now? Do we have to wait for him to come to us?" Song Zhiyue bit her lips, and then glanced at Gu Ci who was sitting on the bed with a calm face.

I couldn't help being irritable, and I didn't know what this Jin Zihe wanted to do. She herself said that Gu Ci was a good person, but now she was also one of the people who didn't want to make Gu Ci feel better?

Gu Ci didn't seem to care about Jin Zihe at all, and he wasn't worried about Qin Zi's situation, so Han Nuoshang could tell that Gu Ci wasn't calm at all.

Gu Ci's hand was tightly held by Han Nuoshang. This man's hand lost its usual temperature, and also lost its color. It was icy cold, and it seemed that it could not be warmed up at all, and its pulse was also constant. Beating regularly.

"We can do something else now." Han Nuoshang kept his eyes on Gu Ci, but he still did not miss the point, "Dig out Jin Ke's bottom, and what happened to him all the time, Hongxue helped analyze his psychology."

Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood.

Lin Chenyi retrieved all of Jin Ke's biography, and sent those materials to everyone's mobile phones, along with a family photo of Jin Ke's family.

When Gu Ci saw the family portrait, his fingers tightened suddenly. Han Nuoshang had been holding his hand all the time, but he still didn't say a word when he pinched it so painfully.

Enduring the pain in his hands, he followed Gu Ci's line of sight and looked over. The man in the photo was the one in the puzzle that Gu Ci made in the police station, the one who dragged the ten-year-old Gu Ci into the abyss , A person who was driven into his bones by him and wanted to take revenge.

Han Nuoshang's face turned cold involuntarily, wishing he could find that person out immediately and shoot him dead.

It's just that the eyes of the person in the family photo are clear and gentle, but the eyes of the person in the jigsaw puzzle made by Gu Ci are resentful. Is it because Gu Ci gave him the corners of his eyes because of his illusion or did he commit murder? Is this what it looked like when you were there?

Han Nuoshang breathed out, and shook Gu Ci's hand back, hoping to bring him some strength in this way.

"I think Jin Ke's mental journey is very strange." Ying Hongxue said while flipping through the information, "His family had an accident 13 years ago in the spring, but why did he take revenge until the next summer?"

"Maybe...he hasn't found the murderer before." Song Zhiyue guessed, "But he found it in the second year."

"But this is also a problem. He is a down-and-out professor with no money and no power. How did he find out?" Ying Hongxue continued, "According to the previous records, that student is just one of the suspects. The case is still under investigation, how did he identify him among so many suspects?"

Everyone couldn't help frowning, it really didn't make sense, it couldn't be the murderer who ran to tell him.

"Even if he really happened to discover the evidence of that student's crime, why didn't he hand it over to the police to kill that student's family in such a ritualistic way?" Ying Hongxue couldn't help but frowned, "And then he started committing crimes one after another , killed so many innocent people."

Ying Hongxue tapped lightly on the table, and everyone didn't disturb her thinking, and each looked at the information in her mobile phone.

After a long time, Ying Hongxue finally said: "I always feel that there is a person behind him who is around him, helping him and of course controlling him."

"Not only him, but also Qi Zhao." Han Nuoshang continued, "Qi Zhao can't do so many things by himself. Someone is definitely helping him."

And it started more than ten years ago. At that time, Qi Zhao had already cooperated with Jin Ke. The two of them did five cases, but they stopped committing crimes at the same time because of Gu Ci. But who led them? Where did they live after they stopped committing crimes?

"Jin Ke's mood looks normal, but it's actually very unstable." Ying Hongxue frowned, "I always feel that he has been psychologically induced."

The person behind the scenes watched him in the dark, pulling him deeper into the abyss step by step until he couldn't get up anymore.

"Jin Ke's wife's name is Hu Zihe, who is also a professor at Tongda University. It is said that she is kind and has never quarreled with anyone. She is like a good wife and mother." Lin Chenyi transferred Hu Zihe's information, "Hu Zihe is very I love children and get along well with them.”

After Jin Ke changed his name, he used his wife's name and has survived under her name until now.

"Perhaps the reason Jin Ke hasn't been discovered by us is not because he is a professor in the acting department, and his acting is so realistic." Ying Hongxue rested her chin on her hands and said leisurely.

Chu Han was a little puzzled: "Why is that?"

"Because he made himself look like Hu Zihe." Ying Hongxue said, "He loves his wife very much, and misses her very much. As time goes by, he can only accommodate his wife in his life, not even himself. , he himself may feel that he really likes those children!"

"Since you like it, why do you still do it?" Hua Xiaolu said she couldn't understand.

"Because he is still Jin Ke and not Hu Zihe." Ying Hongxue pointed to the two people in the photo, "They are different after all, even if they have deceived themselves and others, they are still different."

"Five years ago, Jin Ke went abroad for sex reassignment surgery." Lin Chenyi said again, "This is the information I found in a hospital in country M. His temporary residence at that time was XXXX"

Gu Ci's expression changed, and he wanted to raise his hand subconsciously, but found that Han Nuoshang was holding his hand tightly. That hand was very warm, as if he wanted to warm himself.

He looked at the slender hand and remained silent...

"What's the matter?" Han Nuoshang clearly felt Gu Ci's mood swings, and scratched his wrist.

"That place is only two streets away from my school in country M." Gu Ci's tone was very flat, "I thought, if I hadn't returned to China, there wouldn't be so much going on! Now it seems... ..."

Han Nuoshang grasped his hand tightly, and his heart also tightened.

"Heh..." Gu Ci laughed, "Even if I didn't return to the country, I still couldn't escape. If I didn't come back, I might have died there."

"Gu Ci!" Han Nuoshang frowned, and called his name as a warning. He didn't want to hear Gu Ci talking about himself like this.

Gu Ci glanced at him, his eyes flickering.

"The staff of the orphanage are all recruited through the Internet. After they pass the preliminary examination, they have to pass the interview before they can come in to work." Gu Ci thought for a while and continued, "Later, I also found someone to investigate their identities. I checked everyone's identities and resumes, and only those who are sure that there is no problem can stay. I didn't expect that even if this is the case, it will still be..."

Han Nuoshang looked at him, feeling sour in his heart, not because of Jin Ke but because of Gu Ci's caution.

Maybe he was not such a cautious person, but life forced him into what he is now.

Now he is wary of everyone, and he is unwilling to trust others. The most important thing is that he always does not take his own life seriously...

"The colleague who went to Jin Ke's house replied to us." Lin Chenyi changed hands and sent the photos there to everyone's mobile phones. kind, so my colleagues there in the past didn’t find anything.”

"Did he already know what's going to happen?" Song Zhiyue frowned, "Then why didn't he start doing it until now? There are obviously many opportunities!"

"Maybe it's also because of the person behind him!" Ying Hongxue sighed, "That person treats everything as a game of chess, and everyone involved is a chess piece on the board. Qi Zhao is, Jin Ke is the same, even..."

Ying Hongxue shut up suddenly, Gu Ci looked at her, knew what she wanted to say, and gave a wry smile in his heart.

Everyone who is dragged in is a piece on the chessboard, and Gu Ci is no exception. What's more, he is the most special one on the entire chessboard, and the person behind the scenes must also be very interested in him , that's why Qi Zhao and Jin Ke appeared beside him one after another.

So next, shouldn't that person himself appear?

"The most important thing for us right now is to find Qin Zi, and we'll talk about other things later." Han Nuoshang looked at Gu Ci, and his voice sank, "The most important thing now is about Jin Ke."

"For Jin Ke, the happiest thing in his life is the memory of his family, and the most painful is also the memory of his family." Ying Hongxue paused, looked up at Gu Ci, "I think if If he really wants to find a deputy team... he can try to start from this aspect."

But this is not easy for Gu Ci, it can even be said to be difficult.

Also lost the person he loves most, Gu Ci can understand the pain, and he is not a villain himself, can he really do things that expose people's scars?Even if - that person is a heinous devil.

"I understand!" Gu Ci raised a smile, "Don't forget, he is the real murderer who killed my family. I don't mind letting him taste the pain I have experienced again."

Everyone felt suffocated and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Get ready first!" Han Nuoshang waved at the crowd, attracting their attention, "Be ready to act at any time, let the snipers also prepare for the mission, and find some people to guard the hospital, it's still safe." Some are better."

Han Nuoshang had a feeling that this time he needed the help of a sniper, and even if he didn't need it in the end, he had to make preparations in advance.

Gu Ci doesn't care about his own safety, and is not afraid of anything... But Han Nuoshang can't rest assured that the danger is hidden by his side, and he can't watch him so desperately.

Han Nuoshang: "Okay, let's all go back and rest for a while, and then it's time to enter the state of preparation."

Everyone nodded and dispersed...

In the evening, Han Nuoshang came back with dinner, while Gu Ci was on the balcony, watching the outside environment.

In fact, it was Han Nuoshang who carried him over, and he said to take a look at the scenery outside.

"Are you hungry?" Han Nuoshang walked over and put the dinner on the table in front of him. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw something hidden in Gu Ci's right hand.

He squatted down halfway, raised his head to meet Gu Ci's gaze, stretched out his hand and pulled out his right hand, a silver butterfly wing knife slipped from his hand.

Han Nuoshang's eyes dimmed instantly, his heart sank, and his voice was a little cold: "Where did you come from?"

Gu Ci looked away and didn't speak.

"I asked where you came from?" Han Nuoshang growled.

At this time, he was already on the verge of rage, and the low pressure hit Gu Ci instantly.

"Ask Dr. You what he wants during his ward rounds."

Han Nuoshang's voice recovered a bit, although it was still cold: "What are you going to do with it?"

"No reason, I just want to play!" Gu Ci felt guilty inexplicably, but Han Nuoshang didn't see his guilty conscience.

"Since you want to play, why are you hiding?" Han Nuoshang squeezed his chin, and leaned towards him suddenly, and the breaths of the two became mixed together, "Gu Ci, is it interesting to lie to me? "

"I'm just..." Gu Ci's lips were blocked by Han Nuoshang before he could finish his argument.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to do when you look at this knife?" Han Nuoshang's gaze was extremely aggressive, as if he wanted to look into his heart.

"I..." Gu Ci blinked, closed his eyes at last, and was defeated. "I want to see it cut my wrist open and blood flow out. I want to feel the pain!"

So when he was holding the knife just now, was he actually looking for a suitable angle to attack?

"The things you said to Hongxue today are actually just to make her feel at ease, right?" Han Nuoshang put his hand on his chest, "Actually, you can't do it so easily, can you?"

So I felt very uncomfortable, so I once again had the idea of ​​wanting to hurt myself.

"I really want Jin Ke to feel my pain." Gu Ci opened his eyes and looked at Han Nuoshang, saying, "But when I exposed his scars, I was also uncovering my own scars with my own hands. That feeling ... very uncomfortable."

"Even so, you can't hurt your own body!"

Gu Ci lowered his eyes: "I didn't do anything, and even if I did, it's okay if I don't feel pain."

But if Han Nuoshang came back later, maybe he would make a move.

"You don't hurt, I hurt." Han Nuoshang put his hand on his heart, "Do you feel it? It's like being cut here, it's very painful."

Feeling Han Nuoshang's strong heartbeat, Gu Ci's fingers curled up unconsciously.

Gu Ci raised his head and smiled at him: "Sorry, it's my fault!"

Han Nuoshang sighed, buried his head on Gu Ci's neck and rubbed it: "Since I met you, you have been very used to facing us with a smile."

"Um!"

"But I don't like seeing you smile."

Gu Ci opened his eyes slightly, turned his head in surprise, and looked at this person.

"Do you know?" Han Nuoshang raised his head and cupped Gu Ci's face, "I've seen your smile so many times, but I haven't seen your smile reach your eyes many times, maybe you I didn't feel it at all, such a smile is very cold, and it has no temperature."

Gu Ci was stunned for a moment, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm used to it."

"I know, I know, I don't blame you." Han Nuoshang sighed and kissed him on the cheek, "I just hope you can smile a few more times, it's real smiles, not those copious smiles , or sneer."

"I have no idea."

"You have a lot of pain in your heart, I can understand!" Han Nuoshang continued, "But we are already together, can you share some of the pain with me, don't hold everything by yourself."

"I don't know how to share it with others." Gu Ci took his hand and pressed his forehead against his. "No one has ever taught me how to do it. What my parents told me is too long ago." , I forgot everything, I can’t remember clearly..."

"It's okay, I can teach you." Han Nuoshang opened the dinner and set it out for him, "If you are unhappy, just tell me that I can be a sandbag, but don't think about hurting yourself to vent your anger okay?"

Gu Ci nodded.

"Let's eat." Han Nuoshang gathered up all the emotions just now, "Happy birthday, Gu Ci!"

"Um!"

But it was a really bad birthday!
