mask personality

The gates of colleges and universities in the early morning are actually very lively.

There can be as many as five, six, seven or eight stalls just for breakfast stalls, and the shouts and greetings of each family are one after another, creating a hustle and bustle.

It can be heard that the small area where Dong and Ji Lin are located seems to have become a world isolated from the world.

No one can disturb them, and no one can integrate into them.

Like an invisible, indescribable undercurrent, beneath their seemingly calm surface, waves surged.

A moment later, Ji Lin gently pulled back the bloody arm with a gentle but irresistible force.

Afterwards, like a gentleman, he took half a step back, keeping a polite and decent social distance with Wen Dong, and lightly closed his eyes, finally;

Yu opened his mouth and said a sentence that seemed to have no beginning and no end: "Sorry, Mr. Xiaowen, it seems that today, I still can't return the chain to you."

At first glance, this seems to be a very common sentence, but the hidden meaning is so unusual that it is almost morbid——

I can't return the chain to you because I still need it today to lock myself up.

After all, you are so delicious and charming, you can always easily arouse my crazy thoughts and release the crazy beast in my heart.

Wen Dong was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of Ji Lin's words, and the corners of his lips raised even higher.

But before he could say anything else, a boy suddenly trotted up not far away, who seemed to be about the same age as him.

Wen Dong keenly noticed that before the boys ran to them, Ji Lin had already moved naturally, and changed the windbreaker jacket that was draped around his arms, so as to cover the blood-stained arm.

He returned to his usual indifferent appearance.

The boy stood still in front of Ji Lin, he first glanced at Wen Dong hesitantly, then turned back to look at Ji Lin, with a very respectful tone: "Mr. Ji, I...I want to ask you, I think it's still early, can I Can't, can I buy some breakfast first?"

While talking, the boy's stomach let out a cooperating cry.

The boy blushed immediately, and subconsciously pressed his stomach.

Ji Yan pondered for a while, as if hesitating for a moment, then said apologetically: "I'm very sorry, I may not be able to use you in this plan for the time being, I will contact your teacher to explain the reason, and I will let you go for nothing today, I'm sorry, but I will try my best to compensate you, such as asking your teacher for you, the credits for this field trip will still be given to you, so, do you think it's okay?"

"No, no, no," the boy hurriedly waved his hands, "I didn't really help...but..."

When the boy said this, he couldn't help but secretly glanced at Wen Dong again, pursed his lips, and asked, "But Teacher Ji, can I ask, it's me... Is it something I didn't do well?"

"No," Ji Yan shook his head, the gentle arc of the corners of his lips did not change at all, he said sincerely, "It's just that the temporary plan has changed."

The boy let out an "oh", then hesitated and said, "Then... can I go now?"

"Yes," Ji Lin nodded, took out his cell phone and said, "I'll call you a car back to school."

"No, no, Mr. Ji," the boy was overwhelmed by the flattery, and quickly put out afterimages of his hands, and hurriedly said, "I'll go buy breakfast first, and then I'll just call a car and go away after I'm done! Really, I don't need to trouble you!"

Seeing that he persisted, Ji Lin stopped persuading him, but said "Thank you" gently again.

During the simple conversation between the two, Wen Dong had already guessed the boy's identity.

He had thought before that Ji Lin should have made the same plan with him——

After all, in the face of an opponent who hides in the dark and plays tricks time and time again, it is better to follow the clues step by step and fall into the opponent's blindness time and time again, than to analyze them one by one. Put it in a dark place, and then trap it.

But Wen Dong also thought about it, Ji Lin obviously has more worries than him, a free person who bears the name of Shenxi's friend.

Leaving aside whether Ji Lin can play the piano, more importantly, Ji Lin has been exposed in front of at least three people, including Qian Shu, Han Yang, and Lu Mengting, as a police officer. If he applies for the so-called piano again Teacher, there is a possibility that the real identity will be revealed at any time. In that case, it is obvious that not only will it be difficult to trap the murderer, but it may be counterproductive, allowing the murderer to hide even deeper.

Therefore, there is this boy in front of him.

This should be Ji Lin and Tang Chu, who were selected by the police academy, who can play the piano, and are relatively capable of cooperating with the completion of this trapping plan.

However, this was all the plan before meeting Wen Dong today.

Now, as Ji Lin said, the plan has changed——

Watching the boy's back getting smaller and smaller, and gradually disappearing into the crowd of students buying breakfast, Wen Dong retracted his gaze, turned around and threw the long-burned cigarette butt into the ashtray in the car, and then looked up at Ji Lin, lips The horns were raised, and he said almost provocatively: "Mr. Ji is so straightforward, and he sent the little boy back. Are you sure that I will cooperate with you and join your plan?"

As if he was not surprised that he guessed the plan directly without any questions, Ji Lin looked as usual, only raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked: "Then, Mr. Xiaowen, won't you join?"

Obviously, Ji Lin is really determined.

Because Yashen Conservatory of Music has clearly announced that it only recruits one piano teacher to fill Shenxi's vacancy.

"After all," Ji Lin smiled. There was no trash can nearby, and he didn't propose to throw the cigarette butts into the ashtray in Wen Dong's car. He just took a napkin from his pocket and moved it gracefully. The cigarette butts were temporarily wrapped in a napkin, and he said slowly, "After all, Mr. Xiaowen knows very well that unlike your personal plan, our plan is an official business."

The implication is that the police will greet the school. The person who is finally successful in the job must be the designated candidate of the police. Of course, he will not interfere too much with the school's teaching. He will only try his best to catch him as soon as possible. The murderer, and then let the person who really meets the interview requirements officially take over Shen Xi's follow-up teaching work.

Therefore, no matter what Wen Dong's ability is, there are actually only two ways for him to go——

One is that the plan directly failed, and the other is to replace the boy who was "returned" by Ji Lin just now and join the police plan.

From this perspective, it seems that Wen Dong really has no room to refuse.

But at the same time, Wen Dong is definitely not someone who would let himself fall into a passive position.

He can join the plan, but what he wants is not absolute obedience, but mutually beneficial cooperation.

Therefore, Wen Dong nodded calmly, and smiled pointedly: "That's true, but Mr. Ji must also be very clear that compared with your original candidate, I do have an advantage."

Even putting aside ability, just because Wen Dong is Shen Xi's friend, he does have an absolute advantage.

Because they have never forgotten the first judgment on the murderer, that is——

The murderer has positive feelings towards Shen Xi.

Then, after Shen Xi's death, faced with Shen Xi's friend, who succeeded Shen Xi and also became a piano teacher, can the murderer guarantee himself that he will never show his feet?

After all, as Wen Dong has always believed, when people have emotions, they also have weaknesses.

The communication between smart people is always like this. You only need to mention the "face" in a sentence, and the rest of the "inside" can be understood naturally by the other party.

Ji Lin changed the windbreaker coat to the other arm, and his injured forearm was probably because he had been pressed and rubbed by the coat just now. At this time, the blood on the white shirt was almost mottled.

And inexplicably messy beauty.

"Mr. Xiaowen naturally has an advantage," Ji Yan said unhurriedly, and he cut to the point, "So, what are your conditions?"

"My condition is very simple." Wen Dong tilted his head towards Ji Lin, and smiled brightly. The smile seemed innocent and pure, but the words he said were completely opposite, "I can join your plan and be this bait, naturally I will also share all the clues with you, but at the same time, I also need you to keep nothing from me, let me fully participate in the investigation of this case, and update the latest developments in real time."

After a short pause, Wen Dong raised his eyes and looked into Ji Lin's eyes, his brows and eyes slightly curved, "How is it? Is it fair?"

Ji Lin stared at Wen Dong for two seconds with lowered eyes, and instead of answering his question, he stretched out his right hand and said warmly, "Then, Mr. Xiao Wen, we have a pleasant cooperation."

It was this arm that Ji Lin was injured.

Wen Dong lowered his eyes for two seconds, and stretched out his right hand, but instead of holding Ji Lin's palm, he directly held his forearm, and his fingertips stuck to the wound that was still oozing blood again. He smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Ji, happy cooperation."

But this time, without waiting for Ji Lin to withdraw his arm again, Wen Dong just held it for a short two seconds, and then politely and calmly withdrew his hand. He looked calm, as if what he just held was indeed Ji Lin's palm Same.

Ji Yan closed his eyes, and he suddenly raised the finger on the other side, and the fingertips followed the line of his wound, and gently passed over it.

It seems to be re-tasting the almost intoxicating pleasure brought by Wen Dong's fingers at the moment when they touched it.

After a while, he stopped and pulled out a piece of medical gauze from his pocket. Skillfully, he simply wrapped the gauze around the wound with one hand to prevent more blood from seeping out.

After winding, Ji Lin unfolded the windbreaker coat hanging on his arm and put it on.

From the beginning to the end, he still kept his eyebrows stretched, as if the wound was not a real wound, but just a painting on his arm.

Wen Dong watched his movements, and all kinds of mixed smells suddenly appeared on the tip of his nose. Of course, the most intense one came from Ji Lin, the aroma of plants and trees.

Obviously, this ability was not affected by the sudden appearance twice yesterday, and a new day will come again.

"It's getting late." After finishing his collar, Ji Lin turned his head towards Wen Dong, and changed his name again, "My little partner, I think, we can go in."

Wen Dong pretended not to understand the meaning of provocation or joking in Ji Lin's title, he locked the car, walked side by side with Ji Lin to the campus gate, and said in a natural tone: "Mr. Ji, since we have reached Since we have established a cooperative relationship, can you tell me the progress so far, for example, about Lu Mengting's interrogation?"

Passing by a sorting trash can, Ji Lin threw the cigarette butts wrapped in napkins by category, then turned his head to look at Wen Dong, smiled gently, and his voice was still warm, but the words he said were not How to be friendly: "Excuse me, my little partner, I think, I have to remind you that our cooperation starts after you become a member of the plan, that is to say, I can work with What you shared was the progress of the case afterwards, but the interrogation of Lu Mengting ended before that."

Simply put, this has to be "an additional price".

Wen Dong's footsteps paused slightly, and it was extremely rare that he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute all of a sudden.

However, Ji Yan said so, but he didn't wait for Wen Dong to give any response, but continued to speak in an orderly manner: "We can basically confirm that Lu Mengting, like Qian Shu, is the first one to be released. Two scapegoats. She didn't know about the mask pendant. In addition, in her pocket, she found a suicide note pleading guilty in her voice. After the handwriting expert of the Municipal Bureau identified it, it was basically certain that the suicide note was modeled after her. It's written in..."

Walking to the gate, Ji Yan showed his ID to the guard, and the two entered the campus together, before he continued: "Contact the roof of the building where Lu Mengting chose to commit suicide, the loose fence, and Lu Mengting's confession mentioned that she had previously committed suicide because of Qian Shu's problem has always been in a very bad mood, and there is nowhere to resolve it, so she posted a post to express her emotions on an anonymous forum called "Tree Hole" on the Internet, and after Shen Xi passed away, she posted on this forum again After expressing her despair and helplessness on the forum, a reply from a stranger appeared on the forum, and this stranger told her repeatedly that she did not deserve to live anymore if her life went to such a state..."

Wen Dong was slightly taken aback, he thought that Lu Mengting was the second scapegoat, but he didn't expect that there was a layer of psychological induction in it.

However, if it really has something to do with the mask, Wen Dong felt that psychological induction is the most reasonable.

Wen Dong curled his fingertips slightly, and quickly stretched them out again. Then, he asked in the usual tone: "How is it? Have you tracked down the IP address behind this inducer?"

"Unfortunately," Ji Lin shook his head, "There is a certain awareness of anti-reconnaissance over there, and the traced ones are empty."

Wen Dong was not surprised by this result, thinking of something, he asked again: "Then why does Lu Mengting always feel sorry for Shen Xi?"

"Because at noon on the day Shen Xi was killed," Ji Lin said succinctly, "Lu Mengting received an anonymous note, and the person in the note asked her to, no matter what method she uses, between seven o'clock and eleven o'clock that night. They must keep Qian Shu in the House of Music, and promise her that after this time, she can completely get rid of Qian Shu."

In the blink of an eye, a complete thread was strung together in Wen Dong's mind. He took over the conversation and said, "The purpose of the murderer's doing this is to prevent Qian Shu from having the opportunity to perfect his alibi so that he can be blamed! Lu Mengting At that time, I wanted to get rid of Qian Shu, but it was difficult to think rationally, so I really did what the note said."

"That's right," Ji Lin affirmed Wen Dong's conjecture, and said again, "But after learning of Shen Xi's death, Lu Mengting regained her sanity and realized that she was being used. The unintentional intention to get rid of Qian Shu may have become an important part of Shen Xi's murder, so I feel very guilty."

"Actually not," Wen Dong said clearly, "at best, she just facilitated the murderer's follow-up work of setting the blame, but it cannot change the fact that Shen Xi was killed."

Ji Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, and the topic suddenly went away: "My little partner, I really, really appreciate your ability."

If it were the vast majority of people, in Wen Dong's identity, even if they knew intellectually that Lu Mengting had no direct relationship with Shen Xi's death, emotionally, it would probably be difficult to be completely pertinent, and it would be hard for them to be completely pertinent. Lu Mengting has resentment and blame.

But Wen Dong is different, he is not without emotions, but his reason seems to always be able to gain the upper hand and suppress his emotions.

As if knowing what Ji Yan was thinking, Wen Dong paused for a moment, and suddenly said bluntly: "I am not always rational, at least, on the seventh floor, the moment I jumped down with you, I was irrational." It can be said."

Probably because he didn't expect Wen Dong to mention this again suddenly, Ji Lin's eyes moved slightly, and one finger subconsciously covered the other wrist, as if caressing an invisible chain.

But Wen Dong looked calm, and naturally turned the topic back to the serious matter: "That is to say, the murderer's first plan to set the blame was Qian Shu, but after discovering that Qian Shu was summoned twice by the police station, he still After returning to school unscathed, there was a second plan, which was to blame Lu Mengting. First, she did psychological induction on the Internet, and then put the mask pendant and the so-called suicide note into her pocket. At the same time, Then loosen the fence on the roof of Lu Mengting's dormitory..."

After a pause, Wen Dong sighed, and said sincerely: "If we failed to get Lu Mengting down from the rooftop yesterday, then this series of operations has indeed created a nearly perfect illusion of committing suicide in fear of guilt."

Ji Lin smiled, and didn't directly affirm Wen Dong's words, but only half-jokingly said: "Mr. Xiao Wen, I actually have the same idea as Police Officer Tang. After you graduate, do you have the intention to join the Municipal Bureau? If we can transfer our temporary I am actually very happy to have a long-term cooperative relationship.”

"Really?" Wen Dong looked back into Ji Lin's eyes, but in Ji Lin's light brown eyes, there was still no trace of what could be called a temptation. After a while, a bright smile bloomed on Wen Dong's lips, as if Seriously, "Since Mr. Ji is also very willing, then I will think about it carefully."

"No hurry, you can think about it slowly," Ji Lin answered gently and naturally, and then brought the topic back, "In the suicide note found in Lu Mengting's pocket, she also stated that the murder weapon that killed Shen Xi was also "She" put it in the back seat of Qian Shu's car, but obviously, Lu Mengting didn't know what the murder weapon was. "

It was as if the murder weapon had appeared in Qian Shu's car out of thin air. Qian Shu, Han Yang, and Lu Mengting all knew nothing about it.

Wen Dong listened carefully, but suddenly couldn't hold back and yawned.

Of course, this is not because he was bored by Ji Lin's speech, but just kept smelling the strong fragrance of grass and trees on Ji Lin's body, as if he had taken a large dose of quick-acting sleeping pills, and he couldn't restrain himself at all. Physiological response.

"Sorry." Realizing that such a reaction was impolite in a conversation, Wen Dong raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, apologized first, and then said vaguely, "I woke up too early today, I was serious Listen, you continue to talk."

Because of yawning, Wen Dong's eyes secreted a little bit of physiological tears. At this time, when he rubbed his eyes like this, some tears hung on his long eyelashes, but they still did not fall.

Ji Lin stared at the crystal clear teardrop for two seconds, and suddenly said: "I think, I have talked a lot today, theoretically speaking, this is the extra information I provided for you outside of our cooperation plan , then, my little partner, can I charge a little bit and get paid accordingly?"

In all fairness, Wen Dong also felt that just now, Ji Lin was almost unreserved, and indeed revealed a lot about the case to him.

Therefore, it is completely reasonable for Ji Lin to want to receive a certain so-called remuneration now.

Thinking of this, Wen Dong nodded, and said seriously: "Of course, what do you want?"

Wen Dong is really curious about what kind of conditions Ji Lin will put forward, but as long as it is within a reasonable range, he thinks he can accept it.

However, when Wen Dong finished speaking, Ji Yan was not in a hurry to speak.

His gaze still fell on the clear teardrop hanging on Wen Dong's eyelashes. After staring at it for two seconds, Ji Lin suddenly raised his hand, and lightly dipped the tip of his index finger into the teardrop.

After that, under Wen Dong's astonished gaze, Ji Lin slowly put his index finger to his lips, shook it lightly, and his thin lips moved slightly: "The reward I want is also very simple, but it's just like what you did yesterday. "

Eat you like you eat me.

After the words fell, Ji Lin closed his eyes slightly, as if tasting the most delicious taste in the world, slightly poked the tip of his tongue, and swept away the teardrop on Wen Dong's fingertips.

The author says:

Xiao Ji, the reward you want is really unique! 【pointing】
