"Damn. What." If it wasn't for the seat belt, Chu Yi would have jumped up from the seat.The fine grains filled the mouth, and there was a numb feeling in the mouth, and the saliva flowed down the corner of the mouth. Chu Yi hurriedly found a paper towel to wipe it, crumpled it up and threw it towards Qin Yao.

"court death."

Qin Yao blocked the ball of paper and said with a smile, "Did you sleep comfortably? It's almost there."

Chu Yi rubbed his eyes and glanced back. Qin Rui was still closing his eyes, not sure if he was awake or not.Chu Guangjing's pneumonia relapsed, and the Qin family arranged for this flight to send them back in advance.Regarding what Qin Rui said that night, Chu Yi didn't express his opinion, and he couldn't give any attitude. Looking back, the conflict between them was actually quite sharp.Not only him, but Qin Rui and anyone who wants to maintain a relationship with him has a difficult problem that may never be close.This cannot be erased in a sentence or two.

Silence is the most direct rejection, and Chu Yi's refusal to express his position means to some extent that he has made a decision.

Qin Rui was very awake. He just closed his eyes on purpose when Chu Yi woke up. He could see all of Qin Yao's small movements, but he didn't have any intention to stop him. He opened and closed his eyes.He has a lot of doubts in his heart, it seems that getting Chu Yi's approval and liking is not such a profound thing, at least for Qin Yao.

Throughout the two people's acquaintance, most of the time they can't escape the quarrel, and there are more times when they disagree. If there is no overlap of interests, there is no concession and dedication.Such a relationship is more harmonious than that between him and Chu Yi.But he will never be able to treat the relationship between two people like Qin Yao. The deeper the relationship, the more complicated it will be, followed by the differences between individuals that he has to face. Such differences will inevitably lead to various problems. Such a contradiction.

The conflicts between most people are reconcilable, but the problem lies in himself. His flaws and his particularity may bring the conflict between him and Chu Yi to the point of irreconcilability.This was something Qin Rui couldn't tolerate.

He can no longer force Chu Yi to make changes for him, or force him to stay by his side. Based on love, such behavior is not recognized.And from his heart, he is not willing to do anything to force Chu Yi.

This means that he must unilaterally ensure that the conflicts between them will always be in a state of reconciliation.This means that he must make a unilateral sacrifice, because it is him, not Chu Yi, who makes the conflict irreconcilable.Sacrificing the most formed concepts, values, ways of thinking and behaviors, these things have gradually stabilized with age, and the perseverance required to break the reset is unprecedentedly strong.

Fortunately, through that conversation, he had a further positioning of the relationship between the two people. At least Chu Yi still liked him, and things were not so bad that they could not be undone.But Qin Rui's worries were far more than that. Any ideological thing would be a moan for a fragile life. Without life as a carrier, any feelings and thoughts would be meaningless.

The photo that Mo Lingdong carried with him when he died evokes too many possible consequences.It was like an invisible hand, pinching Qin Rui's neck tightly, which might suffocate him at any time.Although he has never flaunted his relationship with Chu Yi, he also has not avoided it, and the complicated internal and external relationships of the Qin family will inevitably make this relationship fall into some invisible dangers.

He suddenly felt terrified of his own presumptuous behavior all the time.

That photo is undoubtedly the most straightforward provocation and hint.

Qin Rui also has a lot of doubts about the cases in Z City. Apart from the evidence, although the characteristics of the crimes in the previous and subsequent cases are not the same, from complicated to simple, from delicate to rough, the core labels have hardly changed: Homosexual, male, the crime scene is neat and clean, the perpetrators are organized and very purposeful.

Assuming that the later crime was not an imitation crime, then there is a contradiction between the two. What caused the murderer to change the crime pattern?Unless there is a major change, it is difficult for serial crimes to change these characteristics at will.And major changes also mean that there must be traces to follow.

Where is this trace?The only homicide case that is not characterized by a serial murder case, Tao Yuan's case coincides with this trace in terms of time.That is, since then, these cases seem to be getting closer to Chu Yi.

Standing in Qin Rui's position, he sees things differently from the police, and he doesn't need evidence.What he needs is analysis and speculation, so the direction he considers is much more complicated than that of the police.When the details of the murder case began to lean towards Chu Yi, there were still a few baseless rumors surrounding Chu Yi, such as homosexuality and murder suspects.These rumors are instructive and provocative. At first he thought it was caused by competition in the market, but what if it is also related to the perpetrator?

The purpose of the other party is obvious, using group psychology and panic to create huge pressure, guide and disrupt the direction of the police investigation.But mere disturbance is meaningless to the murderer. What this disturbing serial murder needs is an accountable result. Even if there is not enough evidence, the pressure from the group, blindness and arbitrariness will inevitably Ask for a reassuring answer.

Death is the most reassuring answer.

Death is also the only way for the murderer to escape from this deep pit.After committing a series of crimes, if there is no death as the ending, there will be no end, and there will be no escape from the pursuit of the police and the sight of the masses.With death, even if the cases are still full of doubts and lack of evidence, these cases will eventually gradually fade out of the sight of the police and the public.

Chu Yi seems to be a good candidate.

This inference gradually took shape in Qin Rui's mind, and the more he thought it was feasible, the more chills he felt.As for the photo that was left on purpose, it stimulated him even more intensely. The hint that it was never left appeared on Mo Lingdong. Naturally, it was the murderer who injected even greater power into this unprecedented crazy killing game. with stimulating weights.

Even Qin Rui became a plaything in the eyes of the murderer.

He is never the only one who is lawless and on the brink of destruction.However, he couldn't find the slightest resonance from such behavior, what he had was almost mechanical coldness.He couldn't bear the other party's arrogant and naked provocations, let alone the other party's taking Chu Yi as the prey under many traps.

When they arrived in Z City, Qin Yao proposed to go with Chu Yi to see Chu Guangjing, and Chu Yi agreed.Qin Rui just watched the three people get into the car from a distance, he thought he was a little envious of Qin Yao.

A few military vehicles drove over soon, and as soon as Qin Rui sat in them, the people next to him threw over a pile of documents that had been re-pasted with transparent tape.

"Old man Qin threw it to me. What do you want to say?"

Qin Rui flipped through it casually, "I don't have anything to say. You are all people who have sat in high positions for so long. No matter what I say, you have your own opinions. Besides, these documents are of no use."

Fu Ming gave Qin Rui a reproachful look and said, "Did you kill Mo Lingdong? I'm just a little strange. You didn't do it two years ago. Why wait until now? No chance? It doesn't look like it."

Qin Rui smiled, "Are you explaining for me? Mr. Qin is old, and he can't see things correctly. I didn't kill him, and I don't bother to do it."

"What about the other cases in City Z?" Fu Ming paused, "Qin Yinglie feels that your state is a little abnormal, and he is very anxious, afraid that you will not be able to control the Qin family."

"Of course he's afraid that I won't be able to control the Qin family. It's not a matter of a day or two. The Qin family is his lifeblood. He doesn't trust anyone who touches his lifeblood and endangers his lifeblood. You can I understand, if I spend my entire life on the giant Qin family, I will also not be able to let go." Qin Rui sighed, for Qin Yinglie, the only thing left between them was understanding.

"As for the cases in Z City, if old man Qin can find solid evidence, then he will definitely drag me down even if he tries to hurt the Qin family's vitality. But he didn't, he can only use the things in C country to set it off What he wants. What does he want?"

"Marriage. With your little nephew."

Qin Rui raised his eyebrows, "He is really worried about me. But I think the more important reason is that I really can't give the Qin family a future. At least I can't do it for children. People like me, One less, one better. Obviously, he has taken this into consideration early on. Sooner or later, I will have to choose the future leader of the Qin family from among the other younger generations. It has been decided, on the one hand, I can use me to stabilize the follow-up forces, on the other hand, once I am out, the Qin family's power structure can still remain stable. This is what Old Master Qin wants to see."

Fu Ming's face darkened, "Qin Rui, did something happen to you?"

"Me? What can happen to me."

"At least I agree with old man Qin on one point. You are indeed a bit abnormal. When Qin Gang was fighting with you, I never saw you take such a light on the rights of the Qin family."

"I have always paid little attention to it. How much of this right can bring some fun and comfort. But now I need to consider other aspects, probably because I have a goal in life, and this thing is even less important. "

"Do you think the marriage is appropriate?"

"I don't want to interfere, and I have no objections. This can be regarded as my concession to Qin Yinglie."

"You're relenting."

"Maybe, I'm just a little touched by his feelings that can't let go until death. Our surname is Qin, and his blood is always flowing in my body. Even if the directions are different, maybe the ending will be the same. He counts He succeeded. He single-handedly created the Qin family and pushed it to the peak. When he died, he saw glory instead of decline. I don’t know if I can do what he did. Not everything can be like the creation of the Qin family. Do everything you can.

He taught me what he wanted to teach me, and what he didn't want to teach me. I really don't know much about anything.I just hope it's not too late to start learning now. "

Fu Ming was silent for a moment, and suddenly burst into a hearty laugh: "It's never too late to learn. You see, I'm old, and I have to study the new policies issued by the central government every week. It's difficult. Looking at those square characters, my head is getting bigger." Qin Rui, your mother didn't dare to take medicine when she was pregnant with you, and her condition worsened after giving birth to you. But she told me one thing every time she woke up, because she was afraid that I wouldn't I know. She said she never regretted having you, never regretted it. You are all her hope."
