Due to the overdose of psychiatric drugs injected by Barbra Clark before, Shen Lu's endocrine system and nervous system are still in a relatively disordered state for the time being. The doctor advised him to stay in the hospital for a few days to recuperate. He brought his tablet to the hospital, and when he has nothing to do, he can sit on the hospital bed and do some effortless work.

After regaining access to electronic equipment, Shen Lu discovered that the headquarters of the investigation bureau had sent him an email. He had failed to apply to become an agent many times and finally passed the review this time.Fortunately, the Bureau of Investigation told him to prepare to report within a month, otherwise he would not receive the admission letter during the two days he was tied up, and if he missed the registration time, he would have no place to cry.

When Qin Qiu felt that the time was right, he came to the hospital to visit Shen Lu with fruit, and saw Shen Lu sitting on the hospital bed and beating on the tablet. Then it was melted into snow water by the heating in the house, and slid down the window drop by drop.

Sensing someone entering the room, Shen Lu raised his head from the screen. When he found out that the person was his roommate, his brows twisted for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal: "Ah, thank you for coming to see me."

"Caring about my roommate is what I should do," Qin Qiu showed a gentle smile, he put the fruit basket in his hand on the bedside table, and then sat down on the nursing chair beside the hospital bed, "What are you doing?"

"I was talking to the publisher about publishing the paper," Shen Lu turned his gaze back to the tablet again, "I have finished writing the paper on the analysis of abnormal behavior of the unemployed, and it was reviewed by peers on an academic website some time ago. , so a publisher sent an email asking if I would like to publish it in a criminology journal."

Qin Qiu immediately recalled the day when he and Shen Lu bar first met, the other party brought up all kinds of excuses to delay time, Qin Qiu was half-believing in those words at the time, but he didn't expect that Shen Lu was really writing a thesis later, Now it is going to be published to make the whole society pay attention to the situation of the unemployed.

Qin Qiu, who was even more sure that he saw the right person, watched Shen Lu closely, his eyes were fiery: "So you have always remembered this matter."

"Of course I remember that my original purpose of going to the bar was to observe the social activities of those people, so although I didn't go there later, I have been sorting out various materials for writing this thesis."

Qin Qiu curled his lips reservedly, and he watched Shen Lu preparing his thesis through surveillance: "Well, I know."

Qin Qiu borrowed a fruit knife from the nurse to help Shen Lu peel the apples to pass the time, and the bright red fruit swirled smoothly like a small ball in Qin Qiu's hands.

Shen Lu silently watched the man peeling fruit, and suddenly said in a calm tone after a long while: "Qin Qiu, you were the one who came to save me first, right?"

Qin Qiu raised his eyebrows in surprise, and replied in a calm tone: "Why do you think so?"

"You know, after I was kidnapped, the woman only allowed me to drink water and take sleeping pills. I was hungry and cold. At that time, I just felt that the time was very difficult. I was completely awake almost no time. I thought I would definitely have to I fell, but soon I vaguely heard your voice from the next room."

The skin as thin as cicada's wings under the fruit knife fell perfectly into the trash can in a long strip, Qin Qiu then shaved off the core with a delicate knife technique, and only handed the apple pulp to Shen Lu: "You didn't Sober, maybe it's just your illusion."

Shen Lu shook his head, showing a self-deprecating subtle smile: "At first I really thought it was an illusion, after all, your voice is very soft, and the only thing I can hear clearly is that woman's yelling, but Then the gunshots woke me up, and it was then that I realized it wasn't an illusion."

"Since you must say that, please allow me to ask a small question." Qin Qiu folded his fair and slender hands, "I heard that you were injected with anesthesia, and you yourself said that the kidnappers I gave you sleeping pills, so I want to know how you can break out of the lethargic state under such circumstances?"

"It's a stimulant," Shen Lu revealed the answer unreservedly, "I expected that I would be attacked, so I took the stimulant in advance to prevent it, but I thought the kidnappers would use guns to hurt me. I used stimulants because I was able to stay awake even when I had a gunshot wound. I didn’t expect her to use anesthesia. My influence is not as heavy as I imagined."

Qin Qiu lowered his eyes knowingly, and his slender eyelashes swayed mischievously with his movements.

When he saw the agents search out the stimulant from Shen Lu's room on the surveillance, he had guessed that the stimulant might be used in this kind of place, and now he has personally confirmed it with Shen Lu, even though he had Even though he had expected it, he still couldn't help but sigh: "Sean, you are amazing."

After such a long showdown, only the man praised him, Shen Lu pursed his lips unwillingly: "You don't have anything else to say?"

"What do you want me to say?" Qin Qiu frowned, "Do you want me to simply admit these things, so that you can use the recording to convict me?"

Oops, found out!

Shen Lu's eyes wavered for a moment, then he locked the screen of the tablet as if nothing had happened, and refused to admit it: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Qin Qiu was not angry either, but just chuckled indifferently: "Then pretend you don't know."

Only then did Qin Qiu realize that his tolerance for Shen Lu had already exceeded his own imagination.

If other people play tricks like this in front of him, although he won't show any anger on the surface, he will only feel extremely bored in his heart, but when Shen Lu did this, he didn't feel a trace of impatience, and even Feel a little bit of fun.

"So now you firmly believe that what you heard when you were unconscious is true, and you also believe that I killed the person." Qin Qiu leaned back in the chair, narrowing his eyes somewhat comfortably, "I have to say your guess Very bold, but Sean, do you have any evidence other than the voice you heard?"

The man's words immediately dealt a painful blow to Shen Lu. As the other party said, he does not have any evidence in hand now, even if he rushed to the police station and yelled that he heard the sound of Qin Qiu shooting, it was useless, because he heard When the gunshots were fired, he was in an abnormal state of ingesting psychotropic drugs. From the perspective of forensics, this was not enough for the police to file a case. If the incident spread, it might even become a joke in the judicial circle.

Shen Lu felt a little discouraged for a while, but he couldn't help but think bitterly, even though he had made things so open, this man didn't mean to be angry at all, and he didn't show that he wanted to kill himself The intention of destroying witnesses, does this mean that he still has a chance to persuade him to behave?

So he hesitated for a while, but finally persuaded him: "Please surrender yourself, Qin Qiu."

Qin Qiu didn't answer when he heard the words, and after a long time finally couldn't hold back a low laugh.

Shen Lu: "..."

His face flushed immediately, and he felt that the man's attitude was really shocking: "What's so funny?"

"No, it's not funny," Qin Qiu comforted the young man with a smile on his face, "I know, you are very serious."

Shen Lu scratched his head in annoyance, he always felt that he was underestimated by this man!

"Then let's go back to the question just now." At this moment, Qin Qiu took the lead to bring the topic back on track, "You want me to surrender, but you don't have enough evidence to prove that I did it, so I'm sorry. Curious what made you have such a naive idea?"

In fact, Shen Lu was also very curious about what gave him the confidence to say such thoughtless words as "I beg you to surrender" in front of a murderer without fear.

He lowered his eyes and thought carefully, and finally wrinkled his nose suddenly after a long while, thinking it was probably out of guilt.

Shen Lu is not a fool. After Jiang Chen told him the tortuous process of the agents rescuing him, it was not difficult for him to connect Qin Qiu with the incident where he was kidnapped. In this way, it is very likely that Qin Qiu He learned that BarbraClark had kidnapped him through some channels, and found BarbraClark in order to save himself, and then brutally killed him in the dispute.

Shen Lu felt very worried about the fact that his roommate killed someone, but as long as he thought that the other party did it to save his own life, as a direct beneficiary of the murder, Shen Lu really couldn't act like a white-eyed wolf because of this. The matter became hostile to Qin Qiu.

Not only was he unable to generate hostility, but he even blamed himself a little. He couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't chosen to take the risky move and fell into such a dangerous situation, would Qin Qiu not have chosen to kill Barbra Clark?

Naturally, Shen Lu didn't know that his entanglement at the moment was the result of Qin Qiu's careful calculations. He only knew that he couldn't emotionally break up with Qin Qiu over the murder case, but he couldn't help but watch the other party make a mistake. Wrong again.

Since the other party was unwilling to admit the fact that he had killed someone, Shen Lu rolled his eyes, changed the subject and tapped sideways: "To be honest, the day I first met you, I thought you were a bit morally extremist. We discussed the case of child abusers being killed together, and I also felt that you seemed to have a particularly deep hostility towards those criminals, but not so much hostility towards those who killed child abusers."

Qin Qiu was too cunning, Shen Lu couldn't tell what the other party had done and what he hadn't done, but he could confirm that Qin Qiu's views on criminals were very extreme.

Just like the case of Barbra Clark being killed, assuming that Qin Qiu approached Barbra Clark to save Shen Lu from the woman, he could have chosen to subdue the woman and threaten her to let Shen Lu go, but he did not choose this Instead of using a relatively peaceful method, he chose a more cruel method to directly take the woman's life.

Qin Qiu didn't say anything to refute, but expressed his own feelings straightforwardly: "Only the criminals disappear from the world can make the world a better place, so I support these people to execute criminals, is there any problem? "

"But Qin Qiu," Shen Lu pursed his lips with compassion in his eyes, "You are a smart person, so you must also understand that child abusers who kill children are guilty of homicide, and so are those who kill child abusers. Committed homicide, although the purpose of the two seems to be different, but what they did is wrong, so there is no difference in essence between the two."

Qin Qiu's eyes suddenly darkened a little, and Shen Lu couldn't help feeling a little panic when he saw this, he always felt that his roommate was angry because of what he said.

"You know Sean, I just like this about you. You can always look at the world with extreme moral standards." After a long while, Qin Qiu suddenly sneered, "You are right, these two kinds of people are actually not the same. no difference."

Hearing this, Shen Lu couldn't help shivering, he felt that the other party's extremely indifferent voice was not saying "I just like this about you", but "I just hate this about you".

"I won't change my opinion." Having said this, Qin Qiu's indifferent tone suddenly turned a corner, "Only killing criminals directly is the quickest way to clean up the world."

"It is impossible to kill all criminals, because this society has a fixed mode of operation, and there will always be people who will continue to become new criminals under the bad influence of society. If you want to change all this, you must start from the root of society, otherwise it will be nothing It doesn't matter how many people die," Shen Lu explained to the man anxiously with a bitter face, "so the existence of the correction system is the most reasonable, as long as the method is used properly, those who have done bad things will be Those who can be educated to become good people, think about it, in this way, the proportion of good people in the world will become more!"

"Then you can prove it to me."

"..." Shen Lu was still trapped in the anger of persuading Qin Qiu, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he heard the words, "What?"

"Prove to me that all criminals can become good people," Qin Qiu resumed his previous deceptively gentle expression, "Let's make a bet, as long as you can win the whole bet, I will How about following your advice and surrendering yourself?"

The other party's playful tone made Shen Lu feel a little bad, but he really couldn't resist the temptation of the condition "Qin Qiu will surrender himself", so he lowered his head and squeezed his chin: "How do you bet?"

"Three cases, the cases are selected by us in turn, and two out of three rounds are adopted. If you can find the criminals behind these cases faster than me, and persuade them to surrender within five days after finding the criminals, then I will count you win."

Shen Lu nodded to show that he understood the rules of the game, but there are winners and losers in the game. Since the rewards for winning are so generous, the punishment for losing is probably unimaginably severe: "Then if I Lost?"

Qin Qiu smiled inexplicably: "If you lose, then I will execute all the criminals in the way I expect."

At this moment, Shen Lu's heart beat rapidly, and he couldn't help swallowing: "No, we can't use other people's lives as bargaining chips."

Qin Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why, you just don't have the confidence to win against me?"

Seeing that Shen Lu was unwilling to accept this gamble no matter what, Qin Qiu could only sigh helplessly: "Well, let's change the gamble, if I win, then you can sleep with me once, Shen Lu .”
