Decided to live by pretending to be a cat after being unemployed

On the way to Xinli Community, Ge Ziming was in charge of driving, and Lang Yi briefly told the case to several people sitting in the carriage, mainly to Guan Lin, and the others came to make up the numbers.

He talked about the investigation of the case by the Special Investigation Bureau, and their previous experience of fighting the fake Guanyin at Chen Ping's house.

"What we have found out so far is that the fake Guanyin should be attached to objects in the shape of Guanyin to commit crimes. Chen Ping's family is a portrait of Guanyin, and the previous twelve murders were statues, pendants, jade plaques and the like. Come and go freely among these Avalokitesvara artifacts."

"Is this fake Guanyin very strong?" Guan Lin asked.

Lang Yi nodded: "It has a wishful wheel dharma tool. It is said in the Buddhist scriptures: 'The wheel has the meaning of destroying, and it can summon all troubles and evil karma ghosts and gods in the silent palm of the source, and destroy them instantly'. The wind can cut through it, so it’s hard to deal with.”

Ge Ziming, who was driving the car, also added after hearing the words: "And it itself, it doesn't know how to disguise itself, and the breath around it is the same as the real Guanyin. Anything like that is useless to it. Moreover, I feel that there seems to be some protective energy around it, and my talisman sword did not hurt the opponent at all, but my hands were numb from the shock."

"Wow, the defensive power and offensive power sound very powerful..." Lang Er worried: "Can you handle it?"

He was asking about Guan Rin. Both Ge Ziming and Lang Yi had already fought against the fake Guanyin, and they were both defeated. Their only hope this time around was Guan Rin.

"How do I know?" Guan Rin replied.

How strong this fake Guanyin is, he has never seen it with his own eyes, so how can he judge which one is strong and which one is weak.But... the wind is an invisible weapon, and its sharpness is not inferior to any peerless sword. This Ruyi Wheel can cut off the wind, and perhaps it is indeed a formidable enemy.

Guan Lin didn't give a precise answer to this sentence, but Chen Ping heard that he had no idea. He had already quietly accepted the fate of going back to that room, but he struggled again and wanted to open the car door: "You guys Don’t go if you can’t handle it! Let me out of the car!”

"Have you figured it out? You get out of the car alone?" Ge Ziming didn't try to persuade him anymore. He learned something from Lang Yi, so he said this coolly.

Sure enough, it's useless to be soft on Chen Ping, you have to use this trick to make him honest.

Chen Ping thought of Lang Yi's implied threat before, and retracted his hand on the car door in desperation.

Xinli Community is also in the outskirts of the city, not far from the Household Registration Department. This is one of the reasons why Ge Ziming drove directly to the Household Registration Department to find Luo Bo yesterday instead of returning to the Special Investigation Bureau. After all, Lang Yi's injury at the time could not be delayed, and the Special Investigation Bureau It is too far from Xinli District.

The Xinli Community is only about five kilometers away from the Household Registration Department, and it can be reached in half an hour if there is no traffic jam.

In the community, after Chen Ping's house went downstairs, Ge Ziming got out of the car first, then went around to the rear compartment, and assigned tasks to the people in the car: "Lang Yi, take them downstairs and wait, Guan Lin and I will go up first to have a look, yesterday I burned the portrait, but I'm not sure if it was completely burned or if there was any danger in the house."

This allocation is relatively safe, Lang Yi and Guan Rin both agreed, Guan Rin jumped out of the car lightly, and before going upstairs with Ge Ziming, Gu Huaishan warned behind him: "Be careful not to get hurt."

Guan Rin didn't look back, but he shook his ears and raised his tail happily, but only said a cold "hmm".

Chen Ping's house is in Room 403 on the fourth floor. Ge Ziming has the key to Chen Ping's house. Before opening the door, he exchanged glances with Guan Lin and asked silently, are you ready?

Guan Lin nodded, and the sharp claws were half hidden in the pads.

Ge Ziming held the key in one hand and the folded talisman paper in his pocket with the other. He carefully unlocked the door, and then he took the lead in the front. After entering the room, he carefully observed the surroundings and moved forward slowly.

Guan Rin subconsciously relaxed his hands and feet when he was leading him, but he soon realized that there was nothing in the room, so he walked casually.

He passed Ge Ziming and went to the living room to have a look, only to see the mess all over the floor and the black scraps of paper after burning on the ground.

Guan Lin stretched out his paws and said to the nervous Ge Ziming, "Call them up, they're all dusty, there's no danger."

Ge Ziming didn't do so immediately, but walked around the room again to make sure that there was nothing unusual in the room and that the furnishings were the same as when he left yesterday, before he called Lang Yi.

Lang Yi and his team quickly went upstairs, with Lang Erchong at the front. It was his first time to attend such a formal case, and it was such a big case. He was very excited.

Chen Ping shrank back at the end. If Lang Yi hadn't dragged him halfway, he would have tied himself to the car and never got off in his life.

Gu Huaishan was the calmest. All the way here, he was quiet and didn't say a word, giving people the impression that he was just like his appearance, gentle and harmless, like small flowers and grass on the side of the road, unobtrusive.

But under Chen Ping's comparison, he seemed a bit unusual, because he didn't have the taboo or fear of ordinary people about such evil things.

In fact, Lang Yi can understand this situation, it's nothing more than the fearlessness of those who don't know.In the process of going upstairs, he suddenly said: "You shouldn't come."

Gu Huaishan was startled, realizing that Lang Yi was talking to himself, he smiled apologetically: "It's the first time I've experienced this kind of thing, I'm curious, I'm causing you trouble."

"It's not a question of causing trouble." Lang Yi shook his head: "We don't know the law of the fake Guanyin's target selection at present, but for you, no matter whether you conform to its original law or not, you are likely to be targeted by the other party .”

"Guan Rin will protect you, and we will protect you too, but no one can guarantee that there will be no omissions. He has no choice but to come." Lang Yi pointed to Chen Ping, who was being dragged by his hand, He said again: "You are different, you haven't entered the other party's field of vision, there is no need to take risks for nothing, if you want to leave now, there is still time."

Gu Huaishan smiled gently, but he was unmoved by the answer: "It's all here, let's have a look before leaving."

Lang Yi took a fixed look at Gu Huaishan, and finally said: "People are always responsible for their actions, whether it is life or death, you have to think about it."

Gu Huaishan laughed, and said softly: "You're right, people are always responsible for their actions."

The two stopped talking, and only quickened their pace to catch up with Lang Er who was running in the front.

After a group of people entered the room, they joined Ge Ziming Guan Lin who had gone upstairs earlier, and everyone gathered together to discuss the next step.

Ge Ziming cleared his throat and spoke first: "The painting has been completely destroyed, and the fake Guanyin should not be able to come back through this painting."

Without waiting for Chen Ping to heave a sigh of relief, he immediately said: "So in order to let the other party reappear, our current plan is to take back a Guanyin product from the previous victim's relics, and then use Chen Ping to lure the other party again. "

Chen Ping shouted in horror, "Why are you using me again?"

"I can only blame you for being so fond of the fake Guanyin, and it has recognized you." Ge Ziming spread his hands: "Actually, we didn't have much hope that it would come yesterday, but in the end it did. It seems that you are not attractive. Small."

Chen Pingping has lived an ordinary life for 25 years. He is the least conspicuous one in work and school. He has never been in a relationship at all, and he has never been praised for his charm. But this time the praise did not make him happy.He clenched his fingers for a while, then suddenly pointed at Gu Huaishan and said, "Can't he?"

He didn't fully understand the conversation between Lang Yi and Gu Huaishan just now, but he probably realized that Gu Huaishan's physique is quite special, and he is easy to attract these evil things.

After saying that, before the others could respond, Gu Huaishan, who was pointed at, smiled first: "Okay, let me lead you."

"No!" Guan Lin said immediately.

He bared his teeth at Chen Ping, who proposed such a bad idea, and retracted Chen Ping's finger pointing at Gu Huaishan in fright, then turned his head and looked at Gu Huaishan with that ferocious cat face: "What did you promise?"

"I'm sorry..." Gu Huaishan lowered his eyes and said in a low tone, "I just want to help..."

Guan Lin wanted to continue to be fierce, but seeing Gu Huaishan's appearance, he couldn't continue to be fierce, so he could only keep a straight face and not speak.

"Hey, don't try to let others lead you. Let me tell you this. We haven't figured out the origin of the fake Guanyin. It's not certain whether it is interested in Gu Huaishan. You are the only one who can be sure. The person who attracted the fake Avalokitesvara is also the only survivor in these thirteen cases, you are duty-bound to do this, and you cannot avoid it." Ge Ziming patted Chen Ping on the shoulder and said.

Chen Ping still didn't want to be the bait himself. After yesterday's experience, he was still shocked. He accused: "Then you can't work hard to figure out the origin of that fake Guanyin, and figure out what kind of thing it likes." Prey? Find out and find someone who can replace me, you civil servants, why do you always push me, an ordinary person, into danger?"

The reasoning is the same. In principle, the Special Investigation Bureau should not put ordinary people in danger.

but……

"It's a special situation." Ge Ziming said helplessly: "Well, let's make two-handed preparations. In fact, we have gained a little new information from yesterday's fight. The Guanyin product I sent to the Physical Evidence Department this morning is still on the way. I guess It can only be sent here at [-] o'clock in the evening. During this period, we will study the case from the beginning again, find out the origin of this Guanyin, or find out the rules of its prey selection. As long as we can replace you, we will let you go immediately, how about it?"

Chen Ping reluctantly agreed.

Ge Ziming greeted Lang Er and asked him to go downstairs to the car to get the case files. Lang Er ran fast, and 3 minutes later he had already run back upstairs with the information bag in his mouth.

Ge Ziming swept down the cups and paper towels on the coffee table that had been rolled up during the previous fight, then spread a thick stack of printing paper on the table, and gestured: "The twelve cases are all here, you should look at them first." Look, let's talk about it after reading it, and see if we can find something we haven't found."

The few people beside the sofa, except Lang Yi who had already read the case files, each took a stack of materials and started to read. Chen Ping put the materials back after reading a few pages, because the materials contained not only written descriptions, but also There are also on-site pictures, and it is the kind without coding.The separated corpses and the bloody scene made him unable to restrain himself from thinking about the end he might face.

Lang Er felt a little uncomfortable looking at these unencoded photos. It is one thing to hear about it, but another thing to see it with his own eyes. But thinking that he is a member of the Special Investigation Bureau, he will experience this sooner or later, so he still bears it. Read on with discomfort.

Guan Lin and Gu Huaishan didn't have any obvious discomfort. Guan Lin had seen a lot, and Gu Huaishan... had seen a lot.He flipped through these bloody case files, with a calm expression on his face, as if he was sitting on the balcony and flipping through books on a sunny afternoon.

He read page by page carefully, while Guan Rin read it hastily, and found that the case was similar to what he knew before, and he didn't see anything new.

"Is this random?" he asked.

Ge Ziming thought about it and said: "In these cases, including Chen Ping, there are thirteen victims. There are successful entrepreneurs, lawyers, street gangsters, alcoholics and gamblers, and ordinary office workers like Chen Ping. They are from all walks of life. Irrelevant, either random, or there is some hidden commonality that we haven't discovered."

Unable to find clues in the file, Guan Lin thought about it, and changed his mind: "You just said that there is no evil spirit in that fake Guanyin?"

"Yes, it looks like the Purdue of Compassion, and there is no trace of evil. If it wasn't for killing people, I wouldn't even suspect that it is a fake Guanyin." Ge Ziming said.

"Why? Avalokitesvara's dharma body has supernatural power, so it shouldn't be counterfeited." Guan Lin pondered: "What kind of thing can pretend to be Avalokitesvara, and can pretend to be so similar?"

Guan Lin got to the point, Ge Ziming and Lang Yi looked at each other, and Lang Yi said: "We analyzed once this morning that it is impossible for ordinary monsters to have the ability to imitate Guanyin. If there is an exception, it can only be This evil thing itself is very strong, not inferior to the strength of Avalokitesvara Dharma Body, and it probably has a certain connection with Avalokitesvara, or it is attached to objects related to Avalokitesvara, so it can imitate the image of Avalokitesvara, and it can be freely used in Avalokitesvara products. come and go."

"But there is also a problem," Ge Ziming added: "Even if it is strong enough to imitate Guanyin's dharma body, the compassionate temperament in it should not be imitated. The evil thing that does a lot of evil may be able to hide itself. evil spirit, but it cannot cover the power of karma, karma, reincarnation of evil debts, this is the judgment of God, and it must not be tampered with."

This was a question that Ge Ziming and Lang Yi hadn't figured out all morning. Now that it was put in front of Guan Rin, he couldn't figure it out either.

The room fell into a brief silence. Chen Ping and Lang Er listened in a daze, while Guan Lin, Ge Ziming and Lang Yi were all thinking hard.

For a while, only the sound of Gu Huaishan flipping the pages was heard, and after reading the last case file, Gu Huaishan said slowly in a casually thoughtful tone, "Then it could be that it didn't do any evil?"

"How is it possible?" Ge Ziming retorted subconsciously: "Twelve people have already died. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a heinous crime. How can it be said that it has not committed any evil?"

Gu Huaishan smiled embarrassedly, and apologized for his outrageous guess: "I said it casually."

Outrageous is outrageous, but... this sentence gave Guan Rin an inspiration, he suddenly said: "Killing is evil, but it may not be evil, it depends on who is killing."

As soon as this sentence came out, several people present were stunned for a moment. Chen Ping and Lang Er were still puzzled, but Ge Ziming and Lang Yi were both thoughtful.

"I remember that among the twelve victims, there were alcoholic domestic violence gamblers who sold their sons to gamble, and street gangsters who lived on robbery and theft without education, but... Lang Yi looked at Ge Ziming: "There are also a few successful people with clean backgrounds. The information we have seen so far is like this."

"I'll ask someone to investigate now." Ge Ziming immediately took out his mobile phone and arranged with the subordinates in the bureau.

"If these people are all people who have done evil themselves, then eliminating evil is considered a substitute, without causality, and it makes sense that the fake Guanyin can imitate so much." Guan Lin said and turned his gaze Chen Ping.

Chen Ping didn't react, but when several people in the room, including the slowest Lang Er, turned their eyes to him, he finally realized that he almost jumped up and retorted: "I haven't done anything bad! Don't wrong the good people! "

Ge Ziming coughed, came out to smooth things over and said, "I haven't found out yet, maybe this guess is wrong, let's talk about it later."

Several other people temporarily looked away when they heard the words, but Ge Ziming said so, and when he sent a message to his subordinates, he added a message: "Check out Chen Ping's past experiences."

It took some time to check so many people. A group of people waited in the living room. After about four hours, at six o'clock in the evening, Ge Ziming finally received a reply from his subordinates.

The time was too short, and there was no absolute evidence to be found, but they did learn from some speculative rumors that the seemingly innocent people among the victims did not have a clean background.

For example, the well-known lawyer with a bright career and a great reputation, as long as he gives money, he will help defend and exonerate any heinous defendant.

Another example is that well-known entrepreneur in the city. He looks like a human being, but he is a hungry ghost in private. He likes to play with pure and beautiful female students. Others were forced to jump off buildings by him.

Where there is no wind, there is no wave, combined with their current guesses about the law of killing the fake Guanyin, everything is almost confirmed.

"Tell me." Ge Ziming dragged a chair and sat down in front of Chen Ping: "What have you done?"

Several other people also surrounded Chen Ping with eye-catching eyes.

"No! I'm an ordinary citizen. I haven't killed a chicken since I was a child. What can I do!" Chen Ping yelled.

"Twelve people, all of them have done evil, robbing and stealing, domestic violence and gambling, confounding black and white, and raping students." Ge Ziming shook his phone and showed Chen Ping the investigation results sent by his subordinates: " Fake Avalokitesvara kills without cause and effect, because it is judging and acting as a substitute, you are No. 13, do you think you will be an exception?"

Chen Ping was hoarse for a while. He himself felt that Ge Ziming's statement was very reliable, but then he shouted again: "I really haven't done it! If you don't believe me, go check it out!"

Ge Ziming has already checked, and indeed nothing can be found. Chen Ping has been an ordinary person throughout his life. Apart from his appearance and family background, his grades in school are also the most unobtrusive middle-level level. He usually looks quite honest. It's just a little timid and selfish, and it seems that it has nothing to do with the word murder.

However, the police file is innocent, but the person himself is not necessarily innocent.

There are unsolved cases or cases that have not been discovered at all, and the murderer has always been at large.

"You have two choices now." Ge Ziming's tone became tougher. Originally, Chen Ping was an ordinary person, so of course he had to treat him well, but now he found out that this guy might be a murderer who had been on the run for many years. Naturally, his attitude was not the same as before. .

"One, tell the truth and cooperate obediently. Afterwards, you should go to court or go to jail. You will get the trial you deserve, not the lynching trial of this fake Guanyin."

"Second, if you refuse to explain, we will use some special means to investigate the truth."

"What, what special means?" Chen Ping trembled, but still refused to say.

Ge Ziming smiled, and took out a talisman from the bottom of the box from his pocket: "This talisman is rather out of the way. Actually, I seldom use it, but I will use it for you today."

As he said that, he wanted to stick the talisman paper on Chen Ping's forehead.

Chen Ping didn't know what it was, but he was scared and immediately hid back.

He failed to hide, because at the same time as Ge Ziming moved, Lang Yi had already pressed Chen Ping's shoulder with his uninjured hand, making Chen Ping sit in place and cannot move.

After the talisman paper was attached, he stretched out his hand to tear it off, but he couldn't tear it off. It was obviously a fragile yellow paper, but at this moment it showed a trace of the tenacity of cloth, and it couldn't be pulled off.

Ge Ziming said to Chen Ping who was trying to tear off the talisman paper: "Don't waste your efforts, I won't be able to tear off my talisman unless I explain it to you."

"And don't try to lie, this is a heart talisman, I can feel what you are thinking in your heart, and I know what you are telling the truth." Ge Ziming took out another piece of the same talisman and put it on himself. stick.

After finishing the matter, he turned to Lang Yi and said, "You can ask later."

Lang Yi and Ge Ziming cooperated tacitly. Before Ge Ziming finished speaking, he stood beside the other party and watched Ge Ziming close his eyes and make seals on his hands.

Guan Lin and Lang Er had never seen this kind of talisman before, and they were watching quietly and attentively, observing Chen Ping's reaction.

Gu Huaishan's gaze stayed on Ge Ziming's heart symbol for a few seconds, showing some interest.This kind of talisman does not really know what the other person is thinking, but can only vaguely perceive the other person's emotions, so as to judge the authenticity of the words.

But even if the effect is not so magical, this kind of talisman is still difficult to draw. It is an extremely rare and difficult category. Speaking of it, the most famous monks who are good at talisman seem to be the Qishan Ge family, the Ge family... Gu Huaishan Looking at Ge Ziming, with such a family heritage, and his talent is not bad, no wonder he was able to become the director of the Special Investigation Bureau at a young age.

After watching for a few seconds, he quickly withdrew his gaze, and together with the others, focused on Chen Ping.

"Okay." After Ge Ziming finished speaking, everything was ready, and Lang Yi asked, "What have you done? Murder? Rob? Steal? Rape?"

Chen Ping was trembling with so many people staring at him for interrogation, but he still insisted and said: "No! I haven't done it!"

"Really." Ge Ziming said with his eyes closed.

There are too many crimes that can be counted as evil, and it is unrealistic to list them all. Lang Yi was silent for a second, and asked another way: "When did that happen? Elementary school? Middle school? University? Or after graduation?"

"It never happened at all!" Chen Ping said.

"Really...wait a minute," Ge Ziming frowned, and suddenly changed his words: "It's middle school. When it came to middle school, he felt guilty."

A trace of panic and fear suddenly appeared on Chen Ping's desperately denying face. Lang Yi slapped the armrest of the chair heavily, and said coldly, "Is it junior high school? Or high school?"

"No, no!".

"It's high school." Ge Ziming said

"Senior year? Senior year? Senior year?"

"No……"

Chen Ping didn't finish his denial, so Ge ​​Ziming said, "It's the third year of high school."

"What happened in the third year of high school?" Lang Yi asked questions almost non-stop.

Chen Ping collapsed when asked, and shouted: "I don't know!"

"Fake, he knows." Ge Ziming opened his eyes.

He loosened Jieyin's hand, picked up the mobile phone, spoke to Chen Ping, and also to the subordinate on the other side of the mobile phone: "Check his experience in the third year of high school, not only check him, check his surroundings, school, family, Everything is different, or the case."

After the confession, he looked at Chen Ping again and asked forcefully: "Although we are not normal police, we are still law enforcement agencies. If you take the initiative to confess here, we also count as you to confess. The crime may be mitigated. If you continue Resist stubbornly, and don't regret it when we find out by ourselves."

"I didn't do it at all! I have nothing to regret!" Chen Ping yelled, but his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his eyes couldn't help avoiding it.

While Ge Ziming was waiting for his subordinates' investigation and reply, he was restless, his hands clenched like twists.

Half an hour later, Chen Ping's investigation information was sent to Ge Ziming's mobile phone. Ge Ziming and Lang Yi met each other's eyes. The photo on the phone said: "Do you know this girl?"

"I don't know!" Chen Ping almost yelled in horror.

"Fake, he knows." Ge Ziming said.

"This is your classmate at the same school, Luo Anxuan. She committed suicide after being gang-raped in her third year of high school. Because she took a shower many times after being gang-raped, she didn't keep any evidence. She herself It didn't take long before he broke down emotionally and chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building, so the real culprit of this gang-rape case has been at large." Lang Yi said every word: "Are you involved?"

"I didn't! I didn't!! I didn't!!!" Chen Ping yelled three times in a row, each one getting louder.

"Fake, he participated." Ge Ziming's tone became cold.

Lang Er, who had been listening quietly all this time, couldn't help baring his teeth when he heard this, and was so angry that he wanted to bite Chen Ping: "Scumbag!"

Guan Rin didn't show any good looks, and the already fierce cat face became a little more fierce.

"Are you the main criminal? Who are the rest?" Lang Yi asked again.

Chen Ping stood up directly from the sofa, and his always timid and timid character showed a hint of fierceness. But when he saw Lang Yi's tall stature, and the only remaining strong arm that could probably hang him At that time, the arrogance shrank back: "I said I didn't, I didn't..."

"It's like this now and you still don't explain? Are you really planning not to cry when you see the coffin?" Ge Ziming said coldly.

"I, I..." Chen Ping murmured a few times, and fell back on the sofa in a daze. He covered his face with his hands: "I really didn't..."

"I'm just... just..." Chen Ping's thoughts went back to the supposedly ordinary time many years ago, after the evening self-study in the third year of high school.

At ten o'clock in the evening, after the evening self-study, he was walking home as usual. His house was not far away, and he would pass an alley when he returned, with no lights.

Chen Ping was rather timid. Every time he walked through this unlit alley, he would quicken his pace, lest there be some terrible ghosts hidden in the darkness.But what is scary is not necessarily ghosts, what Chen Ping bumps into is people.

It was the boy named Wang Hong in the class, not only him, but also a few of his cronies. This group of people is quite famous in the grade. It seems that the family has some background. They fight and bully their classmates on weekdays, and the teacher dare not control them. The students dare not provoke them.

Naturally, Chen Ping didn't dare. Seeing this group of people in the alley, he lowered his head and quickened his pace and wanted to leave, but he suddenly stopped when he heard a choked sob with a crying voice.

He looked over in the dim light and saw a girl sandwiched between these boys. The girl's hands were restrained and her mouth was covered. The boy who was holding her cursed angrily, and the strength in his hands increased again, so hard that bruises appeared.

Chen Ping was stunned. Before he realized what happened, Wang Hong came over and put his arms around his shoulders, and said with a smile, "You are from No. [-] Middle School, right?"

"Hmm..." Chen Ping was still in a daze, like a log.

"Oh, so are we, and so is she." Wang Hong pointed to the girl behind with a smile, and said, "After studying all day, I asked her out to play in the evening, to relax and combine work and rest."

"You don't know how to tell people about such trivial things, do you?" Wang Hong still smiled, but the hand on Chen Ping's shoulder exerted force.

Chen Ping shivered from the pain and shook his head quickly.

"Oh, it's getting late, classmate, hurry home." Wang Hong smiled kindly.

Chen Ping nodded quickly again, and strode away at a pace that was only a little slower than running.

He kept walking and walking without looking back.

"That's it?" After listening to Chen Ping's narration, Guan Lin couldn't believe it.

Not to mention that Guan Rin didn't believe it, no one present believed him.After all, Chen Ping seems to be a passing character in this matter, so what does it have to do with the word evil?

"What I said is true!" Chen Ping said.

Still no one believed it, but Ge Ziming frowned, and said with a complicated expression: "Really, he didn't lie."

As soon as the words fell, several people present were stunned.

"Isn't it referring to this matter?" Lang Yi asked.

"No," Ge Ziming shook his head: "Probably not anymore. When you asked him just now, he only felt guilty about this matter."

"Then he is innocent, has he never done any evil? Then why was he targeted by the fake Guanyin?" Guan Lin looked at Chen Ping suspiciously.

"How do I know!" Chen Ping really felt that he was wronged: "I didn't realize what happened at the time. It was Luo Anxuan who jumped off the building and died a few days later. I just realized what happened that night."

"Since you realized it, why didn't you call the police afterwards?" Lang Yi asked again.

"This..." Chen Ping hesitated: "Those people have big backgrounds. I heard that they are the sons of the director. How dare I provoke them."

This answer is quite in line with Chen Ping's timid and selfish character. The truth of this gang rape case is probably the same, but if Chen Ping hadn't done any evil, why on earth would he be targeted by the fake Guanyin?

The case reached a stalemate again, and everyone was thinking about it, and the room was silent.

In the silence, Gu Huaishan focused his gaze on Chen Ping. He looked at Chen Ping's timid and cowering appearance, thoughtfully, and suddenly opened his mouth.

"You really don't know?" His tone was gentle, but he went straight to the crux of the matter, like a knife that hit the vital point: "That night, did you really not know what would happen?"

"Of course I don't know! I didn't look back!" Chen Ping seemed confident.

But Ge Ziming, who hadn't untied the heart talisman yet, said, "Fake, he's lying."

The corners of Gu Huaishan's lips curled up slightly, showing a sneer, a sarcasm, and more surety of victory: "But you heard it."

Chen Ping wanted to refute, but... the moment Gu Huaishan pointed out this point, he seemed to have returned to that night, the alley without lights.

He kept walking straight ahead, not daring to look back, not daring to find out what would happen, but the sound of the girl crying, still in the silent night, penetrated into his ears, and he vaguely heard it, it was two words .

"help me!"

"You heard it," Gu Huaishan said slowly, "but you didn't do anything."

"You didn't do anything in the face of a female classmate who was about to be raped and raped for help." His tone was still unhurried, and both his voice and his expression were softer than the cold faces of Lang Yi and Ge Ziming before. .

But these words fell into Chen Ping's ears, and they were sharper than any previous questioning.

"What can I do?" He tried to argue: "There are so many of them, how can I beat them all by myself?"

"Even if I made a move at that time, I was just beaten up by them. That girl would still be raped. I can't change anything! Yes, I can't change anything!" The more he said, the more he felt that he made sense, and his words changed. I have to feel confident.

"You can't beat them head-on, but you can call the police after you leave the alley, you can call others for help, and you can testify against them as the only witness after the incident," Gu Huaishan repeated for the third time: "But you didn't do anything."

"I..." Chen Ping still wanted to argue, but he couldn't give a reason. He suddenly knelt down, scratched his hair in pain and said, "So what? I didn't do anything, I It's cowardice, it's selfishness, so what?"

"Then why did the fake Guanyin follow me? I have never done anything bad, but I just didn't dare to stand up for this matter. Could this be...is this considered evil...?"

"Forget it." Gu Huaishan narrowed his eyes and said softly, "This is a mediocre evil."
