Ji Lin didn't answer right away, his gaze was still fixed on Wen Dong's body, to be precise, it was fixed on Wen Dong's earlobe that was wearing a lock ring and still dripping blood.

The right hand once again covered the metal chain wrapped around the wrist of the left hand, rubbing it up and down.

However, this time, it seems that this action is not enough to firmly restrain the mad beast in Ji Lin's heart——

After a while, Ji Yan suddenly closed his eyes, and suddenly said: "Sorry, Mr. Xiaowen, I have an unfeeling request, I wonder if it's okay, let me drive instead?"

His voice was still warm and deep, but his tone was not hard to hear an implied restraint.

Wen Dong was slightly taken aback, for a moment he didn't understand Ji Lin's sudden request.

But he still nodded subconsciously, and asked late, "Sit in my car?"

"Can I drive mine?" Ji Lin asked warmly, then pondered, "Your car...your car, I'll call you a driver, and let the driver drive back to your residence directly, do you think it's okay?"

"Okay," Wen Dong replied flatly, "I'll just ask for a substitute driver later."

It's rare that I didn't continue to be polite with Wen Dong on this kind of issue, and after waiting for Wen Dong's consent, Ji Lin withdrew his gaze, reached out and opened the driver's door, stepped out with long legs, got out of the car, and walked quickly He went around to Wen Dong's side.

Opening the car door for Wen Dong from the outside, Ji Yan raised another hand, and put the back of his hand on the upper edge of the door frame, so as not to accidentally knock Wen Dong's head when he got out of the car.

Wen Dong thanked him, and when he got off the car, he accidentally raised his eyes, and suddenly noticed that Ji Lin's fingers seemed to be trembling slightly.

But before he could take a closer look, Ji Lin took his hand back naturally.

Wen Dong had no choice but to temporarily close his eyes, went around to the driving seat, and switched places with Ji Lin.

The two sat down again, Wen Dong couldn't help but tilt his head, and then glanced at Ji Lin beside him.

Only then did he realize that Ji Lin had taken off the sharp chain around his neck again, and put it on his other wrist that was not wrapped around the chain.

There is still a little Wen Dong's blood on the chain, which just fits on Ji Lin's protruding and sharp wrist bones.

Like a touch of bright red on top of white porcelain, it is extremely eye-catching, like an extremely unique work of art.

Ji Lin lowered his eyes and stared at the bright red on the wrist bone. After a while, he suddenly said in a low voice: "Mr. Xiaowen, do you know? I lied to you last time."

Wen Dong was slightly taken aback, for a while, he didn't recall which time Ji Lin said "last time".

But before he could continue to recall, Ji Yan gave the answer slowly: "I mean, the last time your fingers were cut by fragments of a vase and blood flowed in my car, I said yours The base note of the perfume smells very good, I'm lying to you, actually I want to say, Mr. Xiao Wen, your blood smells very good."

Unexpectedly, Ji Yan would suddenly confess. Wen Dong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, and asked softly, "If I said it, I would have guessed it at the time, do you believe it, Mr. Ji?"

Ji Lin paused for a moment, then suddenly looked sideways, and the corners of his lips slowly raised up, as if answering Wen Dong's words, but also seemed to be talking to himself: "Believe it, why don't you believe it? After all, Mr. Xiaowen, Same as me..."

His murmur at the end was very soft, almost a whisper, and before Wen Dong could respond, Ji Lin suddenly raised that wrist, and brought it to his lips, with the tip of his tongue slightly probing, licking off the bright red stain on the wrist bone .

Slightly closing his eyes, as if savoring it, Ji Lin murmured in a low voice: "Sure enough, Mr. Xiaowen, it not only smells good, but also tastes delicious..."

There was a trace of blood on the corner of his lips, which contrasted sharply with the original light lip color, which made his appearance at this time look a little bit like a vampire.

Watching Ji Lin's movements and demeanor, and listening to his almost sickly words, Wen Dong seemed to suddenly understand why Ji Lin changed places with him just now and asked him to drive.

Because Wen Dong could clearly feel that the heart in his chest was beating extremely vigorously at this moment, as if the blood in his whole body was crazily rushing to his brain, his hands and feet were cold, but his brain was boiling to the point of exploding.

In such a state, it is really difficult to drive.

Wen Dong couldn't take his eyes off Ji Lin like this at all.

But Ji Yan had already put down his hands, and started winding the chains again and again for himself.

This time, Wen Dong confirmed that he was not mistaken, Ji Lin's fingers were really trembling uncontrollably.

It was probably a reaction that originated from the extreme psychological excitement and was naturally projected on the body.

Sensing his gaze, Ji Lin didn't look up, but slightly hooked the corners of his lips, his tone was still extremely gentle, but his words became more and more morbid: "Mr. Xiaowen, if you keep looking at me like this, I really mean it." It's hard to lock yourself properly. If you don't lock it well, it may affect your driving safety... Although I don't mind, I will die with Mr. Xiaowen in this second, but I think Mr. Xiaowen probably doesn't want to die Yes, at least not yet, after all, Shen Xi's case has not been solved yet, are you right?"

It wasn't until he heard Ji Lin's last words that Wen Dong felt that he had finally regained two points of sobriety. He closed his eyes and took another deep breath. His heartbeat gradually calmed down, and the blood slowly returned to his limbs.

After a while, Wen Dong returned to the same state as usual. He took out a napkin from the storage compartment at hand, wiped off the blood on the earlobe, started the car, turned on the navigation, and drove towards the city bureau.

Yashen Conservatory of Music is not far from the Municipal Bureau, it only takes about 10 minutes by car.

Along the way, neither of them spoke again, and the car was filled with only the mechanical female voice of the navigation.

Wen Dong focused on driving, while Ji Lin focused on winding chains...

He seemed to be entangled so slowly and tightly before, as if the invisible mad beast in his heart was too fierce, and he needed a lot of strength to be able to stand up to it and restrain it.

However, when the car stopped at the gate of the Municipal Bureau, Ji Lin had indeed returned to his usual indifferent appearance. The sleeves of his windbreaker covered the chains on both sides like shackles, and there was only a smear of pale red blood on the side of his neck, like Showing the madness that happened.

After getting off the car, the two entered the City Bureau building side by side, took the elevator to the floor of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, briefly greeted the little policemen who were having dinner together, and Ji Lin took Wen Dong directly to his personal office.

Sitting on the single sofa in Ji Lin's office, seeing Ji Lin locked the door behind him, Wen Dong came back to his senses, raised his brows slightly, and asked doubtfully, "Aren't we going to find Officer Tang?"

"Wait a minute," Ji Lin responded warmly, walked to the desk, took out a pack of disinfectant wipes and a box of alcohol swabs from the locker below, "Your earlobe needs to be dealt with, be careful inflamed."

Wen Dong realized later that he was really crazy at the time, and he hadn't thought about this kind of problem at all.

Ji Lin took out a disinfectant wipe, and slowly wiped off his slender fingers one by one, then opened the alcohol pad, took two of them, and walked to Wen Dong's side.

He stood in front of Wen Dong, bent down, and took off the metal lock ring on Wen Dong's earlobe with one hand. The movement was light and slow, as if he was precious in every possible way. After that, he used one of the alcohol pads to carefully lock the lock ring. After wiping the hook on the back of the ring twice, he pinched another piece of clean alcohol cotton with the thumb and forefinger of one hand, and covered Wen Dong's earlobe.

Obviously the alcohol cotton sheet is cold, but it is probably because it is too thin, so thin that it can't stop it at all. The temperature on Ji Lin's fingertips is transmitted to Wen Dong's earlobe.

Wen Dong's ears are actually very sensitive.

The moment Ji Lin's fingertips came up, Wen Dong's ear tips trembled as if instinctively reacting, but it was hidden under the hair, so Ji Lin didn't notice it.

The wonderful tactile sensation of the coexistence of coldness and warmth immediately burst into a tingling sensation on Wen Dong's earlobes, and this tingling sensation was like an electric current, which immediately went straight to the bottom of his heart.

After wiping it gently, Ji Lin lightly shook the lock ring in his hand, and asked in a low voice as if asking for advice: "Mr. Xiaowen, do you still want to wear this?"

Wen Dong couldn't bear this feeling of being controlled, so he swallowed the sentence "Of course I have to wear it" on his lips. After a pause, Wen Dong raised his head, looked straight into Ji Lin's eyes, and provoked With one brow brow, he asked with a chuckle, "Mr. Ji, do you want me to wear it?"

Looking at each other for two seconds, Ji Lin sighed as if admitting defeat, did not answer, but responded directly with actions——

He moved more seriously and carefully, put the cleaned metal lock ring on Wen Dong's earlobe again, as if marking a mark for Wen Dong.

The pointed hook is cleverly turned into a bend behind the earlobe, avoiding the risk of the lock ring falling off.

Just after putting it on, there was a knock on the office door, and Tang Chu's loud voice came in: "Mr. Ji, I heard that you and Mr. Xiaowen are back? Then why don't you come to me?"

Ji Lin straightened up, walked over and opened the door, greeted Tang Chu, and said in a natural tone: "We are going to find you."

Just as Tang Chu opened his mouth, he suddenly realized something. He looked puzzled and said, "No, did you lock the door just now? It's just the two of you inside, why are you locking the door..."

Ji Lin's expression was as usual, and he answered "By the way" lightly, and was about to change the subject, but Tang Chu's eyes fell on his neck, and his attention was immediately drawn away. He was shocked and said, "I said, Teacher Ji, what are you talking about today?" What happened? Why did you go out and come back, and there was another bloodstain!"

In the morning it was the forearm, now it is the side of the neck.

Tang Chu really didn't understand.

After hesitating for a second, Tang Chu clapped his hands in a sudden realization, thinking he had seen through the truth, and said loudly, "I see! You said this morning, to tease the cat, you purposely smeared the blood here to tease the cat, right? "

The corners of Ji Lin's lips twitched, he turned his head to look at Wen Dong who was sitting on the single sofa pretending to be a transparent person, raised his hand and gently touched the bloodstain left by Wen Dong on the side of his neck, and said slowly Said: "No, it's not my blood, it's that cat's."

Wenmao: "?" Can you tell me again?

Ji Lin is well versed in the principle of getting along with people as soon as they get along, so before Tang Chu asked any questions, he brought up the business in a calm tone: "Mr. Xiaowen came here today, not only to sign up for the plan. Agreement, he said there was a discovery at school."

As soon as the case was brought up, Tang Chu immediately forgot all the cats and dogs, and asked seriously, "What did you find? Tell me!"

Wen Dong stood up from the sofa, and replied concisely: "A girl."

Tang Chu nags: "Girl?"

Ji Lin also turned his head to look at him, waiting for him to finish.

"Yes," Wen Dong explained clearly and simply, "I went to the Music House this morning, but I didn't enter Shenxi's piano room. At that time, she was standing facing Shenxi's piano room. I don't know how long she had been standing there, but after I saw her, she turned around and walked forward after about half a minute. , into Qian Shu's office."

Wen Dong is not too surprised that the special ability appeared twice this morning and afternoon respectively. He has no time to think about this sudden change for the time being. The reason why the feeling of relief is a taste is impossible to say anyway. Therefore, if you want Ji Lin, Tang Chu, and the rest of the police force to pay attention to this girl, you have to give a reason that sounds logical. reason for speaking.

After thinking for a moment, Wen Dong continued: "I personally think that this girl standing at the door of Shenxi's piano room is not just passing by. After all, if she is really just passing by, then she shouldn't have stopped and turned around. , standing right in front of Shenxi's piano room."

Ji Lin nodded slightly, not in a hurry to express his thoughts, but asked calmly: "So, in Mr. Xiaowen's opinion, what is the most likely reason why this girl will appear at the door of Shenxi's piano room?"

Recalling the complex scent of hatred and relief that he smelled at that time, Wen Dong pondered, pursed his lips, and whispered his guess: "I think it's a review."

As if hearing a two-point fresh expression, Ji Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, and repeated: "Review?"

"That's right, looking back," Wen Dong said again, and the thoughts in his mind gradually became clearer, and he continued to explain, "From the perspective of art, if I personally created a painting, it would be fine." I am satisfied with the work, then in the follow-up time, I may review this work from time to time. The reason for the review is uncertain. It may be to find inspiration for new works, or it may be that I just want to experience it again. The feeling I got when I created this work.”

Tang Chu couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed his arms vigorously twice.

He really wanted to give the two gods in front of him a thumbs up. Mr. Xiaowen really can compare crime to painting every time!

The key is that there is a special supporter next to him.

Ji Lin nodded again, affirming Wen Dong's thoughts with great interest: "Little Wen painter, your angle is very novel, but it is undeniable that it is actually very accurate, because a large number of cases over the years have indeed shown that there are quite a few Some murderers, especially serial murderers, will return to the place where they committed the crime more than once when they are lucky enough not to be arrested. As for the reason..."

Having said that, after a short pause, Ji Yan's fingers unconsciously covered the skull on the desk, and gently stroked it. He closed his eyes slightly, and then continued slowly: "The reason for returning to the crime site, It’s also very much like what you said, maybe it’s to find inspiration or experience for the next crime, or maybe it’s just to re-experience the feeling that I got when I committed the crime.”

There are not a few such cases, and Tang Chu knew about them, but when he heard Ji Lin say it in such a gentle and quiet tone, he still couldn't help his scalp numb, and couldn't help sighing: "This kind of criminal is really special. What a pervert..."

Ji Lin looked at Tang Chu, suddenly smiled, and asked softly, "Do you think it's unreasonable?"

"Of course!" Tang Chu replied without hesitation, and then asked Wen Dong, "Mr. Xiao Wen, don't you think this is abnormal and difficult to understand?"

As soon as the voice fell, Tang Chu regretted it. He forgot that this abnormal theory was first proposed by Wen Dong.

Sure enough, Wen Dong seemed to hesitate for a second, he pursed his thin lips slightly, but still said frankly: "Actually, I can roughly understand... because apart from the things that are forced to do, there are also things that are purely for money. , and the rest, most human behaviors, including crimes... I think behind this, they are still driven by emotions."

Since the crime was motivated by emotion at the time, it is not difficult to understand that after committing the crime, returning to the crime scene at that time to relive that emotion.

Tang Chu was completely awake, and he wisely stopped talking about criminal psychology with Wen Dong and Ji Lin, and turned the topic to what he was good at and understood: "Then according to your inference, this girl is the murderer Very likely?"

Ji Lin shook his head, and said rigorously: "There is too little known information at present, so I can only say that this possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, standing outside the murder scene to watch, this behavior is indeed suspicious, but it is not ruled out. She may just be I simply miss Shen Xi."

Wen Dong rushed to say "impossible", because the smell of hatred he smelled was too strong at that time, and he didn't smell the slightest smell of nostalgia at all, but before he opened his mouth, Wen Dong immediately bit the tip of his tongue, and said this The three words were swallowed back intact.

Can't say yet, because he can't give a reason that sounds reasonable.

However, Tang Chu did not give up on this, he said seriously: "As long as it is suspicious, we have to investigate."

After saying this, Tang Chu looked at Wen Dong again, and asked him, "Mr. Xiao Wen, did you see what that girl looked like?"

Wen Dong cautiously said: "If it comes to the facial features, it's not very clear, because I was not too close at the time, and she was standing sideways to me, but the basic characteristics are clear, that is to say, if she appears, I can recognize it."

"It's enough to recognize it!" Tang Chu clenched his fist and said immediately, "I'll let Xiao Ruan send over all the images of the people who appeared in the surveillance on the night of Shen Xi's murder, and see if there is the one you mentioned. girl!"

Although they compared Ji Lin's preliminary profile before and basically eliminated all the people in the surveillance, but now that there are new clues, if they look back, they may find new ideas.

Ji Lin didn't raise any objection, Tang Chu strode to the door, opened the door and shouted: "Xiao Ruan, hurry up, send all the images of the characters in the surveillance on the night of the incident to your idol!"

Ruan Tian's loud response came from outside the door: "Understood! Send it now!"

Ji Lin turned on the laptop, and Wen Dong accidentally glanced at it. Ji Lin's computer power-on password is also 0528, which is the same as the password on the mobile phone.

Noticing these four numbers again, Wen Dong felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart in an instant.

But before he could think about it any further, the computer made a "ding" sound, Ruan Tian moved quickly and sent an email.

Wen Dong instantly put aside the sense of familiarity that he didn't know for a moment, and stared at the computer screen seriously, waiting to see the image of the character.

Because a preliminary investigation has been done before, all the images of people that have appeared in the monitoring that match the time period have been classified according to age and gender.

Ji Lin clicked the mouse, and directly opened the category of female students at school. He stood aside again, and politely opened the seat in front of the table for Wen Dong. The gentleman said: "Mr. Xiaowen, please sit down."

Wen Dong was not polite to him, but said "thank you", and sat down on Ji Lin's office chair, carefully browsing the images on the computer screen.

Both Ji Lin and Tang Chu stood aside, and no one disturbed him.

About 2 minutes later, Wen Dong's constantly sliding mouse stopped suddenly, and he quickly said, "Yes! It's this girl!"

Both Ji Lin and Tang Chu lowered their eyes to look, only to see a frame intercepted from the surveillance on the computer screen. In the picture, a tall girl with long hair was walking on the stairs at the main entrance of the Music House. He should be talking to the people around him, with his head turned sideways, which happened to be very similar to the angle Wen Dong saw in the morning.

Tang Chu stared at the girl in the picture for two seconds, recalled something, and said in astonishment: "It turned out to be her...?"

Wen Dong was taken aback for a moment, Ji Lin didn't know why, and looked at Tang Chu.

Tang Chu explained: "During the investigation before, Xiao Ruan and I mentioned this girl, because according to Teacher Ji's profile at that time, this girl is actually one of the characters who appeared in the monitoring within the corresponding time period, and the profile of Teacher Ji The one with the highest degree of conformity, some of the teachers and students who visited the school at that time, basically gave this girl the evaluation of: handsome appearance, excellent character and learning, calm personality, and relatively high self-demand."

This is what Ji Lin mentioned in his profile at the time: easy to gain the trust of others, an absolute goal-oriented person, more rational than emotional, calm and calm, maybe perfectionist or cleanliness-comprehensive comparison, there is indeed a high degree of agreement .

"However," Tang Chu turned around, "Unfortunately, according to the course information provided by the school, this girl does not belong to Shen Xi's name, and all the courses taught by Shen Xi, whether professional courses or public courses, are included in the student list. , and this girl has never appeared before..."

Pausing for a while, meeting Wen Dong's hesitant eyes, Tang Chu continued to add: "I know, I know, Mr. Xiao Wen, you want to say that many of the students who are looting classes are not on the list, right? But the problem is Here, among all the students interviewed at that time, whether it was the girl's companion or the students under Shen Xi's own name, they all basically confirmed that this girl had never attended Shen Xi's class, let alone went to Shen Xi's piano room to find her. But generally speaking, no one has ever seen these two people in the same frame, so in many ways, it can be said that the two of them have nothing to do with each other at all."

This is the reason why the girl was excluded at that time, because compared to the profile of the suspect himself, Tang Chu did not forget the emotional connection that Ji Lin had always emphasized.

Obviously, two strangers who have basically no intersection should not have any emotional connection no matter how they look at it.

However, Ji Lin stared at the computer screen for a long time, and suddenly asked: "What's the name of this girl? Do you think she looks familiar?"

As an art student, Wen Dong is very talented in recognizing faces, but his focus has always been that this girl is the same person he saw in the morning, but now Jing Jilin asked, Wen Dong immediately reacted: "Han Yang! Isn't it? Look carefully, the two of them are actually very similar in bone appearance!"

Tang Chu said "I rely on", and immediately went to the records he had made in his mobile phone.

Two minutes later, he slapped the table and said loudly, "Her name is Han An! These two have the same surname!"

Hastily copying the mouse on Ji Lin's desk, Tang Chu quickly logged into his internal system and entered the two words "Han An".

In the next second, the guesses of the three people were confirmed. There were three columns of family relations, and on the last column, another familiar name was displayed——

Han Yang, relationship: brother and sister.

-

In the early morning of the next day, as a temporary substitute teacher, Wen Dong entered Class One (2) of the Piano Department of Yashen Conservatory of Music, and took the first piano music theory class.

Perhaps he deliberately introduced himself as Shenxi's friend, and the whole class had a weird atmosphere.

On the one hand, it can be seen that the students are trying their best to cooperate with him intellectually, but at the same time, on the other hand, almost every student's face can't hide their depression.

Obviously, they all still miss Shen Xi very much.

On a new day, Wen Dong's special ability has not yet appeared, but the depression and sadness of the students are written on their faces, which can be easily felt without smelling.

When get out of class was over, everyone was still sitting in their seats, no one was chatting, and no one came to talk to Wen Dong.

This is naturally because Wen Dong is Shen Xi's friend. Even though the students are curious about Wen Dong in every possible way, and pay more attention to his overly outstanding appearance, they don't know what kind of attitude to face Wen Dong. Should I say "sorry" first?

However, one of them is an exception.

This person was none other than Han Yang who had been ruled out of suspicion due to the perfect alibi, but last night, was unexpectedly mentioned by Wen Dong and the others.

The tall and slender boy who could be called a school grass-level came to the podium, bowed to look at Wen Dong, stretched out his right hand towards Wen Dong, and smiled politely: "Hello, Teacher Wen, my name is Han Yang, I used to be Shen Teacher's graduate student, is it going to be transferred to your name in the future? The student is dull, and I hope that Teacher Wen can give me more advice in the future."
