When Lin Huai returned to the vicinity of his home, it was almost eight o'clock. He took a look at the steamed bun shop next to his house, did some calculations, and went to the shop to buy ten steamed buns. Huai had made plans for the instructor who was complained to talk to him today, but Director Rong didn't talk to him today, as if he hadn't received any complaints.

When Director Rong saw him, he was surprised and asked, "Xiao Lin, why did you buy so many steamed buns?"

The reason is naturally that Ye Na left in a hurry after eating halfway through her meal. Before she left, she hadn't paid for the meal. After he paid for the meal, he found that he would be able to survive until he was paid after eating steamed buns for about ten days. I haven't tried this before, but Lin Huai thinks the steamed buns are not unpalatable, and it shouldn't be a problem if I persist for ten days.

"Bought it to eat." Lin Huai felt that he was talking nonsense, but he was also embarrassed to say that he had no money.

"I know, but what do you buy so much for? You don't plan to eat it for three meals a day, do you?"

It is true that he planned this way, but he always felt that it was a bit weird to admit it. Lin Huai said, "I think steamed buns are quite delicious recently."

"It's delicious but you can't eat three meals a day. Xiaolin, you have to learn to take care of yourself when you are outside alone." Instructor Rong said, he seemed to really care about him.

Lin Huai nodded, and the doubts in his heart deepened.

After bidding farewell to Director Rong, he returned to the residence. When he opened the door, Chen Shen was using the computer and human voice. When he saw him come back, he smiled and said you are back.

Lin Huai nodded, twisted the steamed bun and sat on the sofa. He was full of doubts and didn't want to move at all.

"Who's here?" The voice on the other end of the computer was Fangshuze.

"It's Lin Huai, it's okay, just keep talking."

"Okay..." Fang Shu sounded dissatisfied, because he didn't like Lin Huaizai very much, and he obviously didn't want to continue, "This suspect is very suspicious, I think I caught a serial killer, and I suspect that it has something to do with the case you are interested in at the university, but it was not convenient to send your information when I was away from home, so I will send it to you now when I come back, you can take a look."

"You mean you have caught the murderer now?" Chen Shen asked while reading the information sent by Fang Shuze.

"It's not so much that he was caught, it's better to say that he brought it to his door," Fang Shu said, "He collided with someone else on the main road, and his own person passed out. The body rolled out of the trunk of the car and was caught A passer-by called the police. First, he said that he fainted suddenly because he was framed by drugs. Later, we caught evidence of his body being dismembered. Then we changed the story and said that we played too much when we were playing with sexual suffocation. We accidentally killed someone. We were afraid of taking responsibility. Divide the corpse."

"With all due respect, this sounds reasonable," Chen Shen asked, "Do you think something is wrong, that he is a serial killer?"

"Can't you read the dossier before discussing it with me?" Fang Shu said impatiently.

"Isn't this trusting your ability to extract information? I'll watch it while you talk, saving time." Chen Shen said with a smile.

Fang Shu had nothing to do with him, and continued to explain: "It is true that no drugs were found in the victim's body, and according to the traces of struggle, it seemed that he was bound voluntarily, but he handled the corpse so calmly that he didn't seem like the first Ciqian, after being arrested, did not panic at all, even when he saw the picture of the dead body, he did not have any emotion of compassion or fear, he was so calm that he did not have the emotions of a normal person at all."

"But it's just your speculation. Generally speaking, his statement can still be said to be reasonable."

"No, listen to me, this person's identity is also a fake," Fang Shu continued, "With his fake identity, after the visit, it was found that several women he knew around him were missing, and this ratio is too high Yes, but these are not the point. When we searched his house, we found some very old newspaper clippings. From new to old, they were all related to another serial murder case that had been solved. The murderer killed his wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, In the process of escaping, the door of a family was also destroyed. The case happened in the 70s, and these old reports are not easy to collect, which shows that the suspect is very obsessed with this vicious murder."

Hearing this, Chen Shen seemed to be interested: "And then?"

"When I asked him about this case, he was visibly flustered, which was very strange. There is no need to panic after collecting briefings on the murder case, so I checked the situation of the murderer in this old case and found that he still had A son, who was only one or two years old at the time, was sent away after the accident. He was about the same age as the suspect, and he was also in his 50s—”

"But you have no evidence for any of this."

"No, but I think this person is a born perverted killer. You remember what we discussed in college. The brain structure of a congenital pervert is different from that of a normal person, and this type of gene is inherited. The Hoss case in the United States The murderer was adopted from a young age and grew up in a healthy environment. After discovering that his father was a serial murderer, he said that the moment he knew about it, he understood his destiny and his long-standing impulse. Before the murder, he also frantically collected The behavior of my father's briefing is exactly the same as this."

The more Fang Shu said, the more excited he became: "This person's target is also a woman from a wealthy family. Although the method of disposing of the corpse is slightly different, but—"

"It's not a question of whether to deal with the corpse. The murderer in that case pursued perfection extremely, and his victims were all carefully selected, and these victims can all be said to be flawed and imperfect," Chen Shen said, " And the suspects in your case are not so refined. Apart from sex, money is also an important purpose in choosing women from wealthy families. The murderer I traced was purely enjoying the pleasure of killing. Although the suspects in this case He is thorough in his work, but has a very casual personality, like someone who swindles money and murders, if you want to convict him, you still need to start with the disappearance of people around him, and don't investigate too far."

"However..." Chen Shen teased, "He is still in his 50s and can deceive so many women. Is this suspect good-looking or good at speaking?"

"There are photos at the end," Fang Shu said, his tone a little disappointed, "Do you think it's okay?"

"I don't think so, but I think you speculate that the suspect is a serial killer..." Chen Shen pulled down the file, and suddenly, he stopped. Lin Huai noticed that Chen Shen's pupils shrank, even though he There was no change in expression.

"What's wrong?" Although he didn't see Chen Shen, Fang Shu also noticed Chen Shen's pause.

"The guess is correct," Chen Shen's expression returned to normal, and he called Fang Shuze, "Old Fang."

"what happened?"

"Thank you. According to the rules, you shouldn't have shown me."

"Thank you, don't disgust me here," Fang Shu said, "It's dead, my master and I have to find a way to talk to the suspect."

Chen Shen hung up the phone, but the matter was not over yet. He looked at Lin Huai staring at him, and was about to open his mouth to say something, but the pile of steamed buns in Lin Huai's arms made him forget for a moment what he was going to say.

"Why did you buy so many steamed buns?" Chen Shen blurted out.

"..." Is it so conspicuous? Lin Huai thought for a while and decided to tell the truth, "Because I paid the bill, I have no money."

"So, did she forget to give it? I'll help you get back her part of the money."

"No need." Lin Huai shook his head. Apart from feeling that it was not suitable for him, he also thought that eating steamed buns for ten days was quite interesting.

"Then I can lend you money."

"No need, I just want to eat steamed buns." Lin Huai said, he was still thinking about something.

"You seem to have something on your mind, does it have something to do with me?" Chen Shen said.

Lin Huai looked at him silently, and he was right, he did have a lot of problems, but now besides Chen Shen, he was thinking about another thing.

"Mantou made me discover something. Director Rong seems to care about me."

"Ok?"

"Although there is nothing particularly strange, it just reminded me that I brought a few bottles of almond milk for you before, and he looked at me holding almond milk with a strange expression. You know I am allergic to almonds. At that time, I thought He was surprised that I drank the drink, now that I think about it, he knew I was allergic to almonds, and I was probably complained this time, but he didn't talk to me..." Lin Huai said, at this level, Chen Shen should also understand.

"Do you think he has something to do with your elder brother?" Chen Shen asked.

Lin Huai nodded, and he apologized: "I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?"

"Because the whole thing now looks like wishful thinking on my part. In fact, even my elder brother didn't completely ignore me..." Lin Huai hugged the steamed bun tightly, and became more determined to eat the steamed bun for ten days. He must never tell others help.

Chen Shen laughed out loud, making Lin Huai's face puzzled.

"You are too cute, don't you think the life of the poor is too miserable? Even if you have no money, you can still eat without money. It doesn't mean that you eat steamed buns every day. Look at how well I live."

Lin Huai's ears turned red. I don't know if it was because he was called "cute" or because he was "ridiculed" by Chen Shen, but when it comes to how good this is, Chen Shen himself said that he is poor, so poor that he abuses others to make money The corner of Lin Huai's mouth twitched.

"You live well without money, and you asked Ye Na to introduce you to business?"

"Nana already told you?"

Lin Huai nodded and asked, "Is what she said true?"

"What did she say? I wouldn't admit it if I sold myself for glory." Lin Huai originally thought that according to Chen Shen's character, he would admit it readily, but who knew that he said this without changing his face.

Hearing Chen Shen's words, Lin Huai almost choked on his own saliva, so what else should he say, Lin Huai hesitated: "That's... you planned to make money by abusing people?"

"Ah, this, that's right." Chen Shen's expression was very natural, as if admitting that he had worked part-time during college, although it was indeed part-time study to some extent.

"..." Lin Huai looked at Chen Shen, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Pfft," Chen Shen laughed out loud first, "Are you wondering why I want to learn this?"

"You can't say that you are curious. You always have your reasons. I just didn't think of it for a while." Lin Huai said, he also thought about it clearly. Since there is no sex trade involved, then it is considered to rely on handicrafts and psychology to make money?Nothing.

"Well," Chen Shen touched his lips, "I just met Nana at that time, this industry is actually very difficult to enter, especially the relationship between people, I think the opportunity is rare, but I still feel—"

"You hurt your wrists from beating someone?" Lin Huai interrupted abruptly.

Chen Shen blinked and asked, "Did she tell you?"

"Didn't you say that, the wrists are sore from beating people, and I feel that this line of work is too much strain on a single part. I want to do part-time jobs such as waiters and convenience store clerks that can exercise in all directions." What is a single part? , full of complaints, if I hadn't been so angry at the time, I would have complained. I don't know, but I thought he was being a duck!At that time, Ye Na said while complaining.

"That's right, she is still very angry." Chen Shen said.

"Angry is very angry. She even suspected at first that you were just using her to handle some kind of case..." According to Ye Na, in addition to skills, connections are also very important in this business. The introduction went out, and everyone knew that she had taken in an apprentice, but then the other party ran away, which made people frantic.

During that time, Ye Na had various hypotheses about being used, and even thought that the other party would steal her guests, but Chen Shen has since disappeared from this circle, and all her suspicions were groundless.

"It's only natural for her to be angry. I saw that she was indeed used, and her efforts were wasted." Chen Shen nodded.

"How should I put it, since it is a master-student relationship, it is not uncommon for the apprentice to learn to run away." Lin Huai said, he hesitated for a while, and then said, "Actually, you still really care about her, right?"

Chen Shen was stunned, without affirmation or denial, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"You took a photo with her, even though you were wearing a mask, don't you really dislike taking pictures, but you took a photo with her..." Lin Huai said tentatively, but he didn't tell Ye Na about this, and he didn't know why. I don't really want to say.

Chen Shen didn't answer directly, he just blinked: "How do you know I don't like taking pictures?"

This time it was Lin Huai's turn to be stunned. Of course, after Chen Shen disappeared, he went to collect Chen Shen's information, but found that Chen Shen had no photos except his ID photo, and the photo of his ID card was not like a thief. It's really weird. The most important thing is that Chen Shen has also participated in the drama club. Chen Shen's qualifications must be the leading actor. He thought that there were at least a lot of stills taken by passers-by. But when he asked, Chen Shen didn't do anything else in the drama club. However, only the background boards such as big trees and human-shaped playing cards are played, and the props are worn on the body, and the mother does not recognize it.

At that time, he was quite sad looking at the big tree on the background board in the stills. In the photo, all the characters have different expressions and are very vivid, but the people who play the background board are also like the existence on the stage, and no one knows it at all. , Thinking about it now, my mood at that time was really funny...

But the most important thing now is that you can't tell Chen Shen about this, otherwise you will look too much like a stalker for collecting his information everywhere. Thinking of this, Lin Huai felt very guilty, but fortunately, he quickly thought of an idea.

"It was my sister who told me that you don't like taking pictures together."

"So that's how it is." Luckily, Chen Shen didn't doubt it, "I thought it was exposed that I didn't take a single photo of me in college."

"??? You really didn't take a picture?!" Lin Huai was surprised. He thought it was just too few, so he couldn't find it.

Chen Shen nodded.

"Why?" Lin Huai was confused.

"When the camera was first invented, many people were afraid of the camera because they believed that the camera could suck away people's souls," Chen Shen said. inner fear."

"So you also...?" Lin Huai was surprised, he didn't expect Chen Shen to have such a quirk.

"No, I just don't like taking pictures." Chen Shen said with a smile.

"..." Chen Shen's mouth was the same as before. Lin Huai was silent for a while, and there was still something on his mind. It wasn't Chen Shen who could get over it, "Actually, I still think you really like Ye Nalai , do you really not consider reconciling with her?" He was actually meddling in his own business, but he felt uncomfortable if he didn't say it.

"Her character will not give me a chance to reconcile. I always feel that she has said other bad things about me to you," Chen Shen said, "Besides, I like you quite a lot."

Chen Shen said the last sentence lightly, but Lin Huai suspected that his face was red and his heart was beating fast. No one had dared to tease him like this before. In addition, Chen Shen was so proficient in this aspect that his meager immunity was completely useless. effect.

"Enough, I'm going to take a shower first." Lin Huai said hurriedly.

Lin Huai hurriedly washed his face with water, and his heartbeat didn't calm down for a while. Chen Shen's mouth was terrible, so he shook his head.

But...he seemed to know some secrets, and asked a lot of questions, but in the end it seemed that he didn't get any useful information, Lin Huai was stunned.
