Pendulum Rider

When the subway stopped at Nanxiang Station, before the door opened, I saw the figure of Shang Luoke outside the door. Before I set off, he asked me for my carriage number, and then we met on the subway.

Next we will go to Huangpu District to collect evidence from the pediatrician Yukito Tachibana. Yukito Tachibana is a university alumnus of the prince and Lin Jiayi. Shang Locke said that he will investigate the situation of the prince during the summer vacation in 2015. According to the testimony of the princess, the prince and Yukito Tachibana seem to be the same I met at that time.

"Tachibana Yukito is a doctor, so wouldn't it be good to bother him now? After all, it's still important for children to see a doctor."

"It's okay. He's the dean. I called him last night and asked him to spare some time."

"Is it necessary to collect evidence face-to-face? It seems that you can also ask him questions over the phone." I remembered that when Li Yan died this year, the police asked me questions over the phone.

"Face to face, you can look at the expression. Subtle expressions can tell whether a person is lying or not. I am a walking polygraph." Shang Locke boasted solemnly, as if he was just telling the truth calmly.

"The black lizard didn't show up today. Fortunately, she also said that she would help us investigate, so she won't go to another film crew to play tricks."

"It doesn't matter if she comes or not, and I don't need her help."

After that, there was silence between us. I stared at Shang Locke and found that he was doing something on the phone again. A picture of a boy and some basic information, the boys seem to be at most junior high school age.Could it be that these boys are the witnesses that Locke mentioned last night who witnessed the prince's candid photos?

My eyes moved up to Locke again, he was still staring at the phone screen with full concentration, I suddenly saw a small black spot on his left helix, at first I thought it was something dirty, but it looked like a bug, fixed my eyes At first glance, the little black dot does not move, and it is slightly raised on the helix. It should be just a mole.

After noticing the mole on his left ear, I thought it looked familiar, but I couldn’t think of anything at the moment. I thought about it repeatedly on the road, the subway door opened and closed, closed and opened again, until we arrived at the destination station, I finally thought I've seen pictures of people with moles on their ears.

That happened when I went on a blind date with Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang was the rich uncle who was so ugly that he couldn’t bear to look at him. He once married my roommate Qian Jinjin, and was sent back to China because Qian Jinjin stole something from Japan. It made Uncle Wang feel ashamed so he divorced her.

During the blind date, Uncle Wang said that he fell in love with a high school student. At that time, he also showed me a photo of the boy’s side face. The uncle said he thought the mole on the boy’s ear was very sexy, so he secretly took it.Although my memory is a little fuzzy now of the face in the photo I saw last year, I remember the mole on the helix in the same position as on the Upper Locke ear.

So, after getting off the subway, I asked, "Does your missing brother have the same mole on his ear?"

Shang Locke was not surprised by my question, he smiled at me and said, "Did you find out?"

"What do you mean being discovered by me?" It was me who was surprised.

"After my brother disappeared, I investigated his 'boyfriend'. His 'boyfriend' had a blind date with a girl. When I saw you, I knew that girl was you. Let's not talk about that, go now Obtain evidence from the Children's Hospital."

After walking out of the subway station, I followed Shang Locke for about a quarter of an hour and came to the gate of a pediatric hospital. After we entered the hospital, we avoided the crowds who came for medical treatment and walked straight to the dean's office.

The door of the office was ajar, and Shang Locke knocked on the door symbolically, and then pushed in. It looked a bit small as the dean's office, but such a small space could still accommodate Shang Locke and me. Guest's.

There are two chairs in front of the Dean’s desk, and we sat down facing them. There are also two cans of coffee in front of our seats, which should have been bought from the vending machines in the hospital. Generally speaking, guests should make their own coffee. Make tea or coffee?This is too easy, right?But I didn't say what was on my mind.

"I don't like this brand of coffee." After Shang Locke took his seat, he picked up the coffee in front of him and looked left and right.

"There are so many demands. At one time, he said he wanted an interview, at another time he said he wanted to drink canned coffee, and now he said he didn't like this brand." Dean Tachibana Yukito's Chinese is almost at the level of his mother tongue.

"However, there doesn't seem to be any traces of injection." Shang Locke said, opened the coffee and took a sip, and opened my can by the way.

"Why would I inject a drug in my coffee?"

"Okay, let's get to the point. I hope you can tell us everything truthfully, and I will abide by the agreement and not reveal that you are a killer."

Eh?What did Locke say just now?This pediatrician in front of me is also a killer?Before I could react, the dean began to speak on his own.

"I met the prince in August of the previous year. I have to say that he is really qualified. I taught him my sword skills. He got the killer qualification certificate in half a month. To get the killer certificate, He must be able to speak four languages. He had already mastered four languages ​​before learning the Killer Tutorial, namely Chinese as his mother tongue, English from elementary school, Japanese and German from high school. As for what new things he has learned now The language is unknown. What do you want to ask?"

"In 2015, what exactly did the prince do during the summer vacation? Does he often run to you?"

"I don't know what he did before August. He only became a killer in August. After we met, he came to see me almost every day after work. I taught him everything that should be taught, and the rest The ones he downloaded were all self-study with reference to textbooks, and since he started his freshman year, we have not been in contact with each other."

"Did you remember anything wrong? According to my investigation, he went to the military training of the university in August."

"Anyway, his killer certificate was obtained in August, and I only had contact with him for half a month."

"You guys met in July, right? He made an excuse to go out to work, but he kept running to you."

"When did I meet him? Is it related to this unjust case?"

"I just wanted to find out what the hell he was doing in July."

"Let me give you a warning, you have been targeted by many killers, because you wrote something you shouldn't have written, and it was published."

"That was the prince's mistake. Who let him be caught by me?" Shang Locke said indifferently to the dean's threat, "The so-called killer was originally from the Blood Hunting Association, right? Those people wanted to earn more money." I chose to take orders to kill the same kind, am I wrong in writing the facts? In the eyes of uninformed readers, it is just a mystery novel set by God."

"What do you want to ask is what did the prince do during the summer vacation after the college entrance examination?"

"There is another question, the killer has not received a commission, can he kill casually?"

"This is not allowed, and the killer's license will be revoked."

"So the prince is still a killer now?"

"His ranking can still be found on the BBS. If it can't be found, it means that his killer license has been revoked."

"If the killer kills casually, how did you find out?"

"There are special people in each region to count the number of dead people every day, so as to check whether the killer has killed innocent people indiscriminately."

"But this time the prince killed Li Yan and blamed it on a teacher. Didn't this slip through the net? Or was he actually hired by someone to kill Li Yan? In fact, I also found out In July of this year, Li Yan's name appeared in the related form of the killer's success rate. You mainly use the success rate to determine the ranking promotion, right? The success rate form only has the killer's code name and the real name of the deceased, and it will not appear The name of the client. Then who is the person who hired the prince?" Kamakuro said, staring directly into Tachibana Yukito's eyes, "Please answer truthfully."

"The client is me."

"Oh? Then what did you say just now? 'He stopped seeing him after he started his freshman year'." Shang Locke's words were full of sarcasm.

"I did say that as peers, we do not communicate anymore, but did I say that there is no communication between the employer and the employed?" The corner of the dean's mouth was slightly curved, and he looked at me meaningfully He glanced at it, and turned his gaze to Upper Locke without saying anything.

"That's not what you said just now. You just added 'as a colleague' now. Can you cooperate with the investigation?"

"I don't remember when I said I wanted to cooperate with you." The dean's mouth was raised, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Very good, let's continue." Shang Luoke also responded with a half-smile smile, "How did you know each other? Why do you want to drag the prince into the world of killers?"

"We met in a foreign language bookstore. At that time, I was watching my lover who hadn't caught up yet. The prince suddenly had a sense of justice and warned me in English. If I keep staring at that person, I will be treated as a stalker and handed over to the police. , and then I chatted with him a few words in Chinese. I lied to him that the man was my assassination target and that I was a killer. He has consulted a lot, and he is the one who wants to step into this world."

"So did you take the initiative to hire him to kill Li Yan, or did he ask you to hire him in advance?"

"I took the initiative to find him."

"Why, do you have any grudge against Li Yan?" I asked in surprise from the side.

The dean turned his gaze to me, and said with a smile, "It was I who told him that Lin Jiayi and Li Yan were dating."

"Why do you know about Lin Jiayi and Li Yan?" The development of the matter exceeded my imagination.

"I have nothing to say about that."

"Presumably you've heard about the Red and Blue Gang?" I asked a few words, and then switched to Shang Locke's question, "After all, the person who created the killer system was originally separated from the Blood Hunting Association."

"What's wrong with the Red and Blue Gang in China?" The dean asked back. From his tone, it can be seen that he knew the truth.

"A person you know is the leader of the special team, right? I would like to ask you to write a letter of recommendation. We are going to obtain evidence from their upper-level personnel in the near future."

"Are you referring to S? He is not in the country now, do you want to obtain evidence from him?"

"I mainly want to see Boss Wei."

"If you want to see Boss Wei, I can go and talk to one of the boss' godsons, and I don't need to write such a big circle of recommendation letters." I interrupted.

"Is it the one you had a blind date with before? Unfortunately, according to my investigation, he is not in China now, so I came to ask Dean Ju to write a letter. But Yaxin, I think you are a bit powerful. Every blind date is VIP."

"It's necessary, no, no, it's not my business to discuss now."

"You guys chat first, I'll write the letter." The dean had already pulled out a blank sheet of paper and started writing.

Shang Locke took a sip of coffee to moisten his throat, and continued to ask the dean: "Do you have a good relationship with S? Since when did you know each other?"

"Who is the S you are talking about? Could it be Solo?" I suddenly thought of the name that came out of the mouth of the black lizard yesterday.

"Sasori," Kamiroku said.

"Scorpion in Japanese." The dean added immediately, without stopping the pen in his hand.

"But I haven't met Sasori himself, and I don't know his real name." Shang Luoke said truthfully.

"Why do I always run into scorpions recently? A stranger chatted with me about scorpio, and what kind of sasori, what does scorpion have to do with this incident?" My mind was in a mess, with all kinds of information It swept towards me like a tsunami, washing away all other information in my mind.

"You should take notes like me, so that you can organize your thoughts and discover new things." Shang Locke pointed to his densely written small notebook, "These things can be organized into a novel."

"Didn't you stop writing novels?"

"After the prince is captured, I will write a second book."

"Speaking of which, what are you going to see Boss Wei for?"

"The prince has had contact with the Red and Blue Gang."

"It seems to have happened before. He once mentioned to me about the Red and Blue Gang, and he even bought earrings in a store run by the Red and Blue Gang."

While we were chatting, the dean handed the written letter to Shang Locke for review: "Is that all right? Do you have any questions?"

Shang Luoke took a quick glance at the letter and smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you, send my regards to your lover Dabai."

"Eh? Dabai? The legendary psychiatrist who is most popular with women? A distant relative of one of my girlfriends."

I was in shock, and as Shang Locke left the dean's office, we came to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and prepared AA lunch at Matador Steakhouse.After the appetizers were served, Shang Locke ate something first, and then before the steak was served, he picked up the little book just now and read it several times with his brows furrowed.

When the waiter brought the sizzling steak to the table, Shang Locke put down his notebook.

I just asked him: "Did you find anything? I looked at the records so seriously just now."

"Who is Sasori?"

We looked at each other for a moment: "Don't you know him? How can you ask me who he is!"

"Boss Wei has no biological children, only the children picked up on the road and subordinates will call him father. According to my investigation, Sasori is born in the 90s. He was only 19 years old when he was the leader of the special team. It seems that Boss Wei thinks highly of him, so could it be Boss Wei's illegitimate son? Or the child of one of Boss Wei's most important subordinates."

"Probably."

I feel more and more that Locke's investigation is like a jigsaw puzzle. It doesn't have to start from one place and work outward. The pieces can be connected together, and then continue to put together, more and more places are connected, and finally a complete jigsaw puzzle is assembled. This jigsaw puzzle is called "The Panorama of the Event".

We chatted about our future plans while having lunch. I took five days off this time, so after today, there are only three days left. Tomorrow we will go to the witnesses of the junior high school students to inquire about the situation.

I looked at Shang Luoke on the opposite side, and suddenly remembered what happened in the morning, so I touched my ears and said, "Although I can't remember what your younger brother looks like, it seems that your younger brother doesn't look very similar to you. The location of the mole is exactly the same."

"Although I said before that family ugliness should not be publicized, but you are special, so let me tell you. You also know that Xiongxiong calls me 'Yueyue'? This is the last word in my name, my brother's name The last word is 'Xing', he was born in 1999, 6 years younger than me. That uncle once went to Xing Xing's high school to give a speech, and then fell in love with Xing Xing. At that time, I occasionally went out to work to earn some money Money, Xing Xing probably envied him after seeing it, so he begged his parents to give him more pocket money, but his parents disagreed. The money was taken away. Only I know about it. My parents don’t know about it. They have been dating for more than a year. Xing Xing disappeared in August this year. The uncle is also looking for Xing Xing’s whereabouts. We found it now. Didn't find him."

"No clue at all?"

"Not at all. If there are clues, I don't need to have such a headache. It's like he evaporated from the world, and suddenly disappeared."

"Can you show me the picture of Xing Xing again, if I see him somewhere, I will contact you."

Shang Locke hesitated for a moment, took out his phone, opened the photo album, found a relatively recent photo and handed it to me, the boy in the photo showed a green smile, and he looked a lot like Shang Locke Yes, it's just that he has a shou face, and the whole thing is a soft little meat, while Shang Luke is a beauty, no wonder I didn't think they looked alike at first.

"I will pay more attention when I go out in the future."

"3Q."

After lunch, it was still early, and today's evidence collection was over. Shang Luoke sent me home, and then went back to Nanxiang to prepare for tomorrow's evidence collection. After that, "Luo Yaxin followed a man outside all day. Run, don't even go to work" spread in the community, this word should be spread by gossip old ladies.
