Dangerous Personality

As night fell, the search team was still looking for Jie Lin's whereabouts near the outer suburbs.

"I've asked all over the place, and they all say that I haven't seen him, and I don't know who prepared the hiding place for him..."

The lights of the police car continued to rotate, and there was a sound of "diwu diwu".

The police dog lowered its head and sniffed the muddy country road, barking in a certain direction from time to time.

Inside the police station.

The masses reported one after another. Su Xiaolan answered the phone all day. Most of the callers were girls, but they seldom provided any real useful information: "I know Jielin. I chased him before, but now think about him. Something is really wrong, we learn dissection in biology class, he is not afraid at all..."

Su Xiaolan pressed her temple: "Okay, thank you, do you have any other clues?"

The girl seemed to be in disbelief: "Did he really kill someone? Did he kill someone?"

"Sorry, it's inconvenient to disclose more specific information."

Su Xiaolan hung up the phone, and asked Jiang Yu wearily: "You said, did Xie Lin kill him?"

Jiang Yu said: "Even if Consultant Xie wasn't killed, the time of death is hard to explain, it's almost the same as the time Consultant Xie entered the building in the surveillance—"

Before Su Xiaolan could sigh, she made another phone call soon: "Hello, officer, I am a clerk in a convenience store. The gentleman on TV came to our store that night."

But these are all far away from Lie Lin himself. He is only in a place with a computer and an extremely dangerous "friend".

Xie Lin took out a pack of cigarettes from the table. He seldom smokes, but he can't help it after staying in this room for a long time.

He held a cigarette between his fingertips, through the smoke he exhaled, his slightly raised eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned back the time to the night when Guo Xingchang died.That night, the surname Guo originally made an appointment with him to tell him everything that happened ten years ago.

Guo Xingchang has not had a good ten years. He lost his child, divorced his wife...and even betrayed his own belief.

Although he made an appointment to come, he soon found that he didn't have the courage to face him. The closer he got to the appointed time, the more silent he sat on the chair by the window.

Just as ten years have passed, he still doesn't have the courage to face himself ten years ago.

As long as Guo Xingchang closes his eyes, the voice of Xie Feng from more than ten years ago can be heard in his ears - the boy who was just promoted to the General Administration that year, was just, smart, and gentle, and he would call him "Brother Chang".

"This is Lao Guo, Guo Xingchang," someone brought Xie Feng in front of him, "you can ask him if you don't understand anything."

That was the first time they met.

Xie Feng called him a little embarrassedly: "Brother Chang."

They often play chess, and Xie Feng will always give him a way quietly.

"It's my skills that are inferior to others."

Xie Feng remembers his son’s birthday. Every year, Guo Xingchang will receive gifts prepared by him in advance. Sometimes it’s a toy car, and sometimes it’s a figure of a popular child character in a new movie—he’s too busy. , I don’t have time to take my children to watch movies, and I don’t have the time to care about which movies are currently showing.

The son was ecstatic when he saw the figurine: "Brother Xie Feng, how did you know I wanted this! Did you also watch the crazy party at the zoo?"

Xie Feng bent down and rubbed the child's head.

Afterwards, Guo Xingchang asked him: "You've been so busy recently, do you still have time to watch a movie?"

"I don't have time to watch it," Xie Feng said with a smile, "I just looked up some popular cartoons on the Internet some time ago."

This kid is very careful.

Only he can be so careful.

So careful... Guo Xingchang once suspected that Xie Feng had discovered it before the action that day.

He found out that the murderer had approached him, and he also discovered his abnormality during that time. This abnormality was not only because his child was also among the victims. Xie Feng might have discovered it long ago, because Xie Feng had photographed him before the action that day. Pat him on the shoulder and suddenly stopped him.

But he didn't say anything, just like when two people met for the first time, the same smile and the same address: "Brother Chang."

Guo Xingchang had no way to face Jielin, but he thought, I have to give him an explanation.

Guo Xingchang still has one or two old friends who have not lost contact over the years. The church incident has also spread among the people, and various versions have been circulated. Because he used to be a criminal policeman, he has a natural curiosity and sensitivity to such cases. .

At a dinner with old colleagues, a criminal police officer who participated in the case drank too much and said: "This case is too strange. Only one tape was found on the dead man in the church."

Guo Xingchang pinched his wine glass and asked, "A tape?"

"A nursery rhyme, find and find friends," the criminal policeman sang in imitation of the nursery rhyme, then blushed and shook his head, "Isn't it strange for you?"

Criminal boss.find friends.audio tape.

It goes without saying that Guo Xingchang was able to enter the General Administration back then because of his extraordinary ability.

Sitting at the wine table, Guo Xingchang recalled what he asked Xie Lin when Xie Lin approached him for the first time: "Who told you about this?"

At that time, Xie Lin did not answer.

Xie Lin is no longer the boy in school uniform when he was working in the police station ten years ago. This kid is taller than him, and he feels more dangerous than when he was young. Lin gave him a punch, but his eyes were still smiling, and he asked him with a smile: "Does my brother's death have anything to do with you?"

find friends……

Xie Lin suddenly came to him at this time, was it by chance?

Suicide was actually something he had thought about for a long time.

When a person has no worries and lives in self-blame and guilt every day, he naturally has no hope of being alive, but he thinks... maybe his death can do something for Jielin.

What can he do?

……

Smoky.

Xie Lin finished smoking a cigarette without changing his face. The picture in his mind stopped at the night when he arrived at Guo Xingchang's house. He opened the door, and the room was silent. Guo Xingchang was sitting on the chair by the window, quietly like It's like falling asleep.

There is an incoming call message on the phone next to it, and the caller is the director.

After confirming that Guo Xingchang was dead, Xie Lin pressed the callback button: "Guo Xingchang is dead."

The director was silent on the other side of the phone.

So a temporary plan began.

"How are you sure that 'he' will come to you?" asked the chief.

"I have a company," Xie Lin said, "If he wants to find me, he can easily find my way of cooperation."

Just as Xie Lin guessed.

On the day when the news was broadcast, people all over South China knew that he was a "suspect" who was at large. On the same day, there was an extra email in his business mailbox.

The sender is: Z.

The content of the email is very simple, only a string of numbers.

There is a recording attached, and the audio is still the nursery rhyme, but this time the nursery rhyme is sung by an adult with a hoarse voice, and he sings in a strange tone: "Look, look, look for a friend, find a good friend... ..." In the middle of singing, he laughed strangely again, and sang these words again, "Find a good friend."

He and "Z" didn't exchange a few words on the first day they connected online.

Z didn't take the initiative to send a message, Xie Lin waited for a long time, and sent a sentence: You should know who I am.

After a while.

Z replies: What about you?

Z: Can you guess who I am?

L: I think I can.

Z: Haha.

The two chatted one after another, and the other party might be afraid that Xie Lin would infer some information through his online time, so the time to find him was very random.

Sometimes it's morning, sometimes it's late at night.

The chat was more about "the guy" talking about his homicide memories.

Z: Is this your first time killing someone?

Z: How do you feel?

L: Tell the truth?

L: Nothing interesting.

Z: Do you know when I first killed someone?

L: When?

Z: When I was 13 years old.

Z: Now that I think about it, I can recall the expression on that person's face when he died. Does this count as "virgin complex"?The first person I killed is still very special in my heart.

L: 13 years old, you were in school at that time.

Z: Yes, he is my classmate, hahaha, he is so unlucky, he was assigned to a group with me during the group homework, and he even treated me as a friend. To me, this kind of person is not my friend at all .

Z: Do you know how I killed him?

Z: Choked to death.with hands.

Z: I can feel his Adam's apple trembling because of fear. He wanted to call for help, but all his words disappeared in his throat, and he couldn't make any sound. My fingers tightened little by little.His eyes gradually widened, like a fish, and then he gradually stopped moving.

L: In school?

Z: Of course.

Z: When I strangled him, the temperature of the skin in my palm was still hot, but later on his body didn’t even have any warmth. You can clearly feel a person’s life disappearing from your hands.

Z: I control the life and death of others.

To "make friends" with such a person, Xie Lin would sometimes be in a trance.

He had to really take the perspective of a "friend" to accept the other party's words, so he clearly felt that there seemed to be another Jielin talking to him deep in his heart: "You and him are the same kind of people, Jielin, you and him it's the same."

Xie Lin dreamed of this sentence countless times at midnight.

There was another voice in the dream, that voice was very cold, but it felt very intimate to him, that voice said: "You are different from him."

After Xie Lin woke up in the middle of the night that night, he didn't fall asleep for a long time.

He squeezed the ring between his fingers and opened his eyes until dawn.

At 06:30 in the morning, the computer screen lights up.

"Drip."

Z: Good morning.

Z: I want to kill someone.

Xie Lin lit another cigarette, and did not comment on this psychopath who wanted to kill someone early in the morning.

L:?

Z: You are awake.

Z: It’s nothing special, it’s just that I’ve been displeased with this person for a long time.

Z: Ah, right.I always forgot to say that I am very strict with my friends, my friends can only be friends with me.

Z: You also know this person, do you want to guess who he is?

The lighter in Xie Lin's hand was not lit, and the cigarette butt brushed past the flames and failed to ignite.

My friend, you can only be friends with me.

You know it too.

Who is he.

……

The answer does not need to think, it is ready to come out.

2 minute later.

Z sent the last sentence of today.

After posting, Z's avatar went dark, and the user's status became offline.

Z: That's weird, he didn't wear gloves when he went out today.
