Pendulum Rider

On the first day I collected evidence with Shang Luoke, I met a strange woman on the subway line 11 of my male god. She approached us and said that she would help us investigate the prince.

I don't know her at all, but she pretended to know me. In fact, she recognized me at a glance, so she came to talk to me. She said that her dear family asked her to help us, but I really I can't think of anyone else who knows about this, it can't be loofah and watermelon, and it's even more impossible to be Lilith.Suddenly flashed the figure of a raging man who claimed to be a straight man in my mind, and for some reason I felt a little suffocated.

I didn't have the courage to ask her who her family's darling was, but I only asked how to call her.

"Please call me Your Majesty the Queen." As she spoke, she forced herself to sit between me and Upper Locke.

"Why do I call you that in broad daylight? It's a shame."

"It's okay, I'm not ashamed."

"But I'm ashamed."

"Beauty, I know who you are." Shang Luoke suddenly interjected, "You are the female star who always plays a small supporting role?"

"Oh? You know me?" The other party cast an appreciative look at Locke.

"You are so beautiful, but you didn't become popular, probably because you didn't accept the unspoken rules, but that's just one of the reasons." Shang Locke paused for a second, and said bluntly, "Another reason is because you are too You want to express yourself so acting is too exaggerated, you are not suitable for idol dramas."

"Then what do you think I am suitable for acting?" Shang Luoke's words were spoken in her heart.

"Playing the villain in a suspense drama must look like a coquettish murderer. Do you know the black lizard written by Edogawa Ranpo? I think you are so similar to her, so I will call you black lizard from now on. "Shang Locke resolved her appellation without authorization, and agreed to collect evidence with her without asking any further questions.

Along the way, Black Lizard always talked to me. From the eyes of others, she looked like a best friend. In fact, I just met her not long ago. Although she may have acted in some idol dramas, I don’t have much impression of her. I don’t know much about domestic entertainment I don't have much impression in the circle, I only know a few popular stars, and my focus is mainly on Two-dimensional Tanmei.

"What constellation do you think is most compatible with Scorpio?" Black Lizard asked suddenly.

"Although I don't know much about constellations, I still know my own constellation, Pisces, but this kind of thing is just a reference." For some reason, I thought of Xiong Xiong again. He seemed to be Pisces. Cheeks are hot.I don't deserve him at all, the horoscope is just a reference, I said to myself in my heart.

"You think so, too. I also think that Scorpio and Pisces should be together, and Libra should be together with Gemini."

"Why are Libra and Gemini involved?"

"Because the prince and Lin Jiayi are twins and Libras?"

After hearing Lin Jiayi's name, I once again had doubts about this woman's true purpose.

"What good is it to you to help us investigate the prince?"

"My darling will reward me."

I still didn't have the courage to ask her who the dear she said was. I was afraid that I would hear Xiong Xiong's name. Although Xiong Xiong and I were just ordinary friends, and he was also the object of my attempt to break up, but apart from Xiong Xiong, I would never think of it. It is not clear who else is in the know.

"I think the two of us can become good best friends, because you are also a Scorpio, and my zodiac sign is the best match. To be honest, I didn't have many true friends around me since I was a child, or because my family has money to play with me , In fact, in private, they are saying that I am too creative, how can I not act, they despise me and come to play with me, they are going too far."

And my mind is full of her first words, I am relieved, at least I know that her dear is not Xiong Xiong, other than that, I have not noticed other information contained in her words for the time being.

"Okay, beauties, we've arrived." Shang Luke stood up first and walked towards the subway entrance.

After the black lizard got out of the station, his eyes seemed to be shining when he looked around, as if he had come to a place with a pleasant scenery, and he almost took out his mobile phone to take a picture.I don't know if she was excited about coming to a strange place or what, but the scenery after exiting the station was a familiar everyday street scene to me.

After I followed Shang Locke far away, she also chased after her, and asked excitedly as if a primary school student was about to go on an outing, "Where are you going next?"

"The car company that the prince's brother-in-law works for, when you were chatting on the subway just now, I have already ordered a taxi, and the car should be waiting at the bus stop." Shang Locke replied.

"Really, then you guys go, I'm going to act alone, I'll see you on the subway later." After the black lizard finished speaking, he turned and wanted to leave.

"Wait, where are you going? Didn't you say you want to help us?" I stopped her.

"I don't need three people to collect evidence, right? I'll investigate the others." Black Lizard asked back. What she said made sense.Maybe she just came here to investigate something, but just happened to meet us on the subway.She ran away from us and walked straight ahead.I went to the nearby bus station with Locke and got into a taxi. The road was not congested, so we came to the car company soon.

To my surprise, a man in overalls was standing at the door, seemingly waiting for us.

After a few exchanges, I found that he was actually called out by Shang Locke. When Black Lizard and I were chatting on the subway just now, Shang Locke was probably preparing for the next evidence collection operation. Do something with your phone.

"What do you want to ask?" The man didn't seem to welcome our visit.

Shang Luoke took out his small notebook and said, "Then I'll ask straight to the point, the prince will occasionally visit you at your house, right? What do you usually do?"

"It's nothing, just chat, watch TV, and play games."

"Where are you talking about? The living room? Or your room?"

"Watch TV and chat in the living room, play games and go to my room."

"Has he ever been alone in your room?"

"When I go to the bathroom."

"Then will he rummage through your things? Like wardrobe or something?"

"He doesn't rummage through other people's things."

"Then have you found that your work clothes are missing or have any abnormalities?"

"I don't think there's anything wrong, what exactly do you want to ask?"

"So has the prince ever visited your company? Or do other people in your company know the prince?"

"He has never been to our company, and my colleagues don't know him. It's really baffling if you've finished asking."

"Can outsiders enter your company? Do you need to register?"

"If you are a German citizen, someone will bring them in. Generally, the family members of the employees will not come in. However, I heard that a long time ago, in winter, some female employees would bring their children to the company's big bathhouse to take a bath because it is warmer. , The conditions at home have improved recently, and I usually turn on the heating at home to wash."

"If employees don't wear work clothes, can they enter? Can the security guard recognize so many people?"

"Mainly by card."

"Really, maybe I guessed wrong, the key is not the work clothes but the card." Shang Locke muttered.

"what are you saying?"

"No, it's nothing, that is to say, as long as the card can be entered, the security guard doesn't care if the person is the card holder himself or not?"

"Let's put it this way, the security guards don't have time to check one by one."

"Can the card record be checked?"

"What record?"

"A few months, a few days, a few hours, a few minutes, a few seconds, I entered the company's gate."

"I can't seem to find it."

Shang Locke raised his head, glanced at the nearby cameras, and suddenly realized something: "It's really not the card problem, the key is still the work clothes."

"You've been emphasizing work clothes since just now, what happened to work clothes?"

"In July this year, Li Yan of your company died in the workshop. He left the company after get off work on Friday. The body was found in the early morning of the first day of the following working day. On the day of the incident, a man was wandering around the door. Leave without doing anything.”

"The police say that man is the murderer, and there are fingerprints of that man at the scene of the crime, so why are you investigating the prince?"

"That man is not the real murderer, he is just a decoy. The prince used him to attract everyone's attention, and he escaped the security guards and cameras and sneaked into the company through the wall. Because he was wearing work clothes, he did not attract the attention of others. He first hid A hidden place, waited until late at night, Li Yan appeared on the stage by himself, the two met in the workshop, the prince killed each other in a cruel way when he disagreed, first crushed the part of Li Yan alive with a machine, Li Yan Yan wanted to break free, so he touched the machine with his hands without thinking about anything, but accidentally broke his arms. As for the fingerprints at the scene were also forged, there was another problem with Li Yan's mobile phone left at the scene , Li Yan’s last contact was Lin Jiayi, but it wasn’t actually Lin Jiayi, it’s just that the prince’s contact with Li Yan’s record was deleted, and the telecommunications company couldn’t find the key call record, and the prince, who is a professional killer, is fully capable of erasing the call Record."

"What nonsense are you talking about? What novel and movie are you talking about?"

"The above is just my conjecture. If you can hand over all the work clothes to do a luminol luminescence test, the truth will come to light. There must be blood on one of the work clothes. The prince used your work clothes to commit crimes, and then return the physical evidence. The original owner, if you firmly believe that the prince is not the murderer, hand over your overalls."

"Then are you going to frame him with blood on it?"

"Framed? The owner of the blood can also be found out. It is Li Yan's blood. I will not casually frame others."

"Then I gave you all the work clothes, what else should I wear?"

"Aren't you one of the executives? You don't have to wear work clothes. The main purpose of wearing work clothes is to keep your clothes from getting dirty, and you don't have to do dirty work."

"Come to my house to get it after I get off work." The man compromised.

"Get one of the physical evidence. I have finished all my questions. Thank you for your cooperation. This beauty will go to your house to pick up the work clothes around [-]:[-] pm. Next, we have to go to Huangpu District, so I won't disturb your work." .”

I feel that my role is to collect physical evidence tonight, but if the prince finds out that I am going to collect physical evidence, will he come and kill me?

I suddenly felt a chill behind me, as if I was being targeted by some ferocious beast.

And Shang Locke seemed to have noticed my thoughts at the moment, so he said: "Even if the prince finds out, he won't do anything to you. Killing the people around Lin Jiayi is undoubtedly a stupid act that irritates the upper body. A possible move is to steal the physical evidence back, as long as you lock the doors and windows, there will be no problem."

When we returned to the subway station, we found that the black lizard was drinking coffee and eating dessert in the Costa coffee shop at the subway entrance. It seemed that she had finished her investigation.Looking into the store through the glass, I feel a little hungry too.

Shang Luoke glanced at me and said: "You go to the store to look for her. I will investigate alone in the afternoon, and you don't have to follow. We will go to Tachibana together tomorrow morning to collect evidence. You will follow me now and come back It is also very tiring to collect physical evidence.”

"Then where are you going to investigate this afternoon?"

"Pudong New Area."

"Is the Pudong New Area related to this matter?"

"I want to investigate that woman, she is very suspicious." Shang Luoke stared straight at the black lizard sitting by the window of the shop, and lowered his voice, "I want to know her purpose."

"It's really suspicious. Is it dangerous for me to be alone with her?"

"No, don't worry."

"Then you should also be careful."

"Understood, then goodbye, tomorrow is old time."

After watching Shang Locke enter the subway station, I walked towards the Costa coffee shop, ordered a cake at random, and came to the seat by the window.

"He's gone?" Black Lizard raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Then it's girlfriend time? What should we talk about?"

"I don't remember when we became best friends." I sat down on the seat opposite the black lizard.

The harmless appearance of her now makes people feel horrible.

"Don't be so vigilant, indeed, I look suspicious to you, but I won't do anything to you." The black lizard smiled at me, trying to dispel my doubts.

"What did you go to investigate just now?" I asked, taking a bite of cake with a fork and sending it to my mouth.

"I walked around the prince's house for a while, and the window in his room was fake. Then I went to meet my future mother-in-law."

"Your future mother-in-law lives in this area?"

"Yeah, she really likes me." Black Lizard continued after taking a sip of coffee, "By the way, shall we talk about men? I heard you are a rotten girl?"

"What's wrong with the rotten girl? Do you have any objections?" I said in a sullen tone.

"Although I'm not very interested in Tanmei, it's all about men's topics. You can come and say whatever you want."

"If it's a topic of this kind, um... Yes, recently I saw two courier guys who often come to our neighborhood, hugging each other in the courier car."

"How good-looking are the two of you?" Black Lizard's eyes lit up.

"Ordinary."

"What?" Black Lizard lost interest all of a sudden, "Let me tell you about my family, my dear is Solo, he is a mixed race, I only met him in February this year, I am 90 years old Yes, he was in 91. Before I met him, I thought I only liked men older than me, because I thought boys of the same age were too naive, let alone younger than me. In the end, I fell in love with him at first sight, mainly because of his good looks It's a question, after actual contact, he is much more mature than I imagined, and he is a bit cold..."

Before she continued, I interrupted, "Wait a minute, let me clear my mind."

The black lizard tilted her head, and then looked at me with a smile on her chin. Her cute gestures may be tempting to men, but they can't improve my affection for me. Maybe it's just her habitual action.

I began to sort out the information provided by the black lizard's words in my mind.

A mixed-race Scorpio in 91, named Solo, very mature and aloof, this kind of person asked her to help me investigate, she seemed to know me, they met in February this year, but the Scorpio man I knew in 91 was already in this year Passed away in January, and not of mixed race.

I patted my aching temples with both hands. No matter how I think about it, this person does not exist. Could it be her fantasy boyfriend?

"Can you show me a picture of your boyfriend?"

"He doesn't like taking pictures, so there are no pictures."

"Are you sure he's not your fantasy?"

The black lizard laughed out loud: "Although Pisces does like to fantasize, my dear is real."

"Can you prove it?"

"I gave it to him for the first time, are you going to the women's room to see the proof now?"

"No need, you just said his name is Solo, is that his real name?"

"It's not my real name, it's a nickname. I won't tell you my real name."

"Then can you describe his characteristics?"

"What attracts me the most is his pupils, which are gray and very distinctive."

I don't remember knowing anyone with gray pupils, could it be that he was my former alumni?

I was thinking about it, and the black lizard continued on his own: "He is 1.8 meters tall, although this is a common feature, have you guessed who it is?"

"I can't guess, and you won't tell me anyway. Instead of teasing me like this, it's better to talk about something serious."

"Is it about the prince?"

"Yes, how much do you know about this matter?"

"He just killed people for his own love. Why don't you think highly of him? I think he and Lin Jiayi should be together." Black Lizard said lightly.

"Which side are you on? If you help us, you must find evidence and send the prince to prison. If you choose to help him, don't contact us."

"I listen to solo." As soon as he saw the smiling face of Hei Lizard, he wanted to hit her a little bit.

After talking enough, Black Lizard first got up and left the coffee shop, and walked towards the subway entrance. I don't know if she will follow us to collect evidence tomorrow.

That night, I arrived at the door of the prince’s brother-in-law on time. He stuffed all the work clothes in a big bag and handed them to me. I returned home with the bulging bag. Fortunately, my parents didn’t ask much after seeing it. What.

After I took a shower, I returned to my room. The phone rang coincidentally. I didn’t need to look at it to know that it should be Shanglock. I came to the bedside table unhurriedly, picked up the vibrating phone, and pressed Press the answer key.

"Good evening." On the other end of the phone was Shang Locke's voice.

"Good evening, what did you find this afternoon?"

"I was originally investigating the matter of the black lizard, but I got unexpected results." Shang Luoke deliberately teased me, "Let me tell you about the black lizard first. The black lizard is a killer like the prince, and its code name is Little Teddy, just became a killer at the end of last year. Because I knew from the beginning that she was a third-rate actress living in Pudong New Area, so I went to Pudong New Area to investigate, and I came across the loofah and watermelon you mentioned before. I asked Something happened to them. In June this year, when they were in Jiading District, they were eating at McDonald’s. A few children around the first grade of junior high school were sitting in the seats near them, chatting loudly while eating. The content of the chat was as follows: Mentioned 'I met a lot of perverts today, those two men are disgusting, and there is even a sneak shot'."

"Sneak shot? Isn't that the prince?"

"That's right, I'll look for the information of those junior high school students again tonight. Now I have not only physical evidence, but also witnesses."

"By the way, how is your brother's clues going?"

Only listening to the other end of the phone, Shang Luoke sighed slightly: "I haven't found it yet, but you don't have to worry about this for me."

"I hope you can find him soon." What I said was not polite, but from the bottom of my heart.

"Thank you."

We said good night to each other and hung up the phone.

The next day, the black lizard did not appear in front of us.
