mask personality

After a moment of hesitation, Wen Dong pursed his lower lip, and handed the phone directly to Ji Lin.

Ji Lin lowered his eyes and glanced, raised his brows slightly, and when he looked up again, he showed two points of doubt just right: "This is?"

"The perpetrator." Wen Dong answered concisely.

After the words fell, he tightly grabbed Ji Lin's eyes, trying to find some clues from these shallow eyes that have always shown no emotion.

But not surprisingly, this time, Wen Dong still failed to catch the slightest clue——

Facing the familiar mask tattoo on the screen, Ji Lin's expression remained unchanged, he just raised his eyebrows again, and asked softly, "How did you die?"

The photo on the screen is only a close-up of the ankle. From the skin condition, it can be easily seen that this is a corpse, but it is difficult to determine the cause of death.

But Ji Lin is a gentleman again, without Wen Dong's permission, he would never flip through the photos in Wen Dong's phone back and forth.

Wen Dong didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "Can you guess?"

Ji Lin glanced sideways, met Wen Dong's eyes for a moment, the corners of his lips curled up, and said slowly: "It was also a car accident, wasn't it?"

Wen Dong was noncommittal, and then said: "There are still photos ahead, you can look through them yourself."

Ji Lin nodded, but he had just touched the screen with his slender index finger and before he could slide forward, Tang Chu's call came in.

Ji Lin's fingers paused, and his eyes fell again.

"You pick it up," Wen Dong raised his chin slightly, "Officer Tang told me to call him as soon as you woke up."

Ji Lin understood the hint in Wen Dong's words, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he swiped to answer.

"Deputy Team Tang," Ji Lin said first, "It's me."

The other end of the phone was silent for two seconds before Tang Chu's loud voice of surprise and excitement came out, and he said in a repeated voice: "Mr. Ji, you are awake! How are you? Are you uncomfortable? Have you seen a doctor? Is there any problem?"

Ji Lin naturally took over the fact that he had actually been awake for a while, and replied one by one in a leisurely manner: "I just woke up, the call from Deputy Team Tang coincidentally, everything is fine, and the doctor has seen it, there is nothing wrong You can leave the hospital tomorrow."

Hearing his last sentence, Wen Dong suddenly raised his eyes and looked over, his brows raised high.

The doctor clearly said to observe for one more day and leave the hospital the day after tomorrow. Why did Ji Lin say "tomorrow" in his mouth?

Receiving Wen Dong's gaze, Ji Lin turned his head to look over, and instantly understood what Wen Dong was thinking.

"Sorry," he said with slightly curved eyes, mouthing to Wen Dong, "I remember the wrong time."

Wen Dong snorted lightly and ignored him.

Remember the wrong time?

Ji Lin's brain may have misremembered this basic information?Lie ghost.

"I'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow?!" Tang Chu didn't doubt that he was there, and a pleasant voice came out, "That's great, thank God, Teacher Ji, you're all right!"

"I'm worried about Officer Tang," Ji Lin replied warmly, and then asked the main question, "I heard that the perpetrator who hit our car died? What's the specific situation?"

"Yes, I was hit to death by a car," Tang Chu said briefly, "I'm at the scene now, and I just sent Mr. Xiaowen a photo of the scene, Mr. Ji, have you seen it?"

Ji Lin replied truthfully: "I haven't had time to watch it yet."

"Then should you take a look first and call me?" Tang Chu asked.

"No need," Ji Lin turned on the speakerphone, and turned his head to signal Wen Dong to watch with him, "We'll talk while watching."

"Look at the last one first," Tang Chu hurriedly said, "Forensic Doctor Wan preliminarily judged that the tattoo on the deceased's ankle is consistent with the situation of Fu Yan and Yun Xing before, and there is no life reaction."

In other words, this tattoo was also tattooed after death.

Ji Lin said "hmm" and didn't say much for the time being. Instead, he flipped forward through the photos and listened to Tang Chu's basic situation: "The accident happened at the entrance of the urban area of ​​the Yashen Expressway. The vehicle the perpetrator was driving at that time It was the black Toyota that you asked me to check for you, Mr. Ji, with the same license plate number. There was only the perpetrator in the car at the time. The other car that collided with him was also a large truck, and the model was the same as the perpetrator. The car that hit you was the same as the one you were driving. The truck driver and the perpetrator died on the spot together. Wan’s forensic doctor did a preliminary test on the truck driver to temporarily rule out the possibility of drunk driving and drug-driving. The traffic police brothers simply judged from the scene It was classified as an accident, and the cause was the fatigue of the driver of the large truck, and the vehicle driven by the perpetrator suddenly turned from a side curve, which failed to give the driver of the large truck enough time to react."

After talking for a long time like this, Tang Chu took a long breath, and turned around: "But I don't believe this, there are too many coincidences, there is no such a coincidence as an "accident". "

However, it is rare for Ji Lin not to answer immediately.

Wen Dong had been listening to Tang Chu's speech just now, while paying attention to Ji Lin's reaction, so he keenly noticed that a certain word or phrase in Tang Chu's long passage seemed to poke Ji Lin, even Let Ji Lin's face, which has always been gentle and indifferent without extra emotion, show a gloomy expression in an instant.

Wen Dong is not very sure, after all, the paragraph Tang Chu just said is too long, he can only vaguely guess that the word that poked Ji Lin may be "accident".

After a while, Ji Lin suddenly closed his eyes, and finally spoke, affirming in a concise tone: "It was not an accident."

After a short pause, he continued to speak in a deep voice: "They...I mean the mask organization. They disguise a planned murder by car as an accident. This is their usual method."

After Ji Lin finished speaking, Wen Dong was startled.

Because he reacted in a blink of an eye. In fact, the accident he and Ji Lin encountered before, if Ji Lin had not had a very human mentality, very human judgment and very human speed at that moment, then in the end The result is likely to be consistent with Tang Chu's statement just now, that is——

Ji Lin will die together with the perpetrator.

And then contacting the situation of the large truck driving over at that time and the road section they were on at that time, it would probably be considered an "accident" by the traffic police.

So in other words, the person who wants to put Ji Lin to death is the person with the mask?

The moment this idea hit Wen Dong's mind, Wen Dong had more questions in an instant. He felt like a ball of wool was wrapped in his head, and the more he stroked it, the more it became messy——

What kind of unknown relationship exists between Ji Lin and the mask?Why did the masked man want to kill Ji Lin?

But if the masked person wanted to kill Ji Lin, why was the actor killed and left with a tattoo on his ankle?

Although Tang Chu did not experience the accident with Wen Dong and Ji Lin, he is a criminal policeman who has been on the front line for many years. At this time, he has an instinct close to instinct. After Ji Lin finished speaking, the other end of the phone was quiet. It took two seconds before there was a sound, and Tang Chu's tone was full of consideration: "Mr. Ji, I want to ask, do you think the perpetrator may be someone with a mask?"

After a short pause, Tang Chu hastily added: "Now the identities of the two deceased have been confirmed, but there is nothing unusual about the superficial information. According to the known information, the perpetrator who wanted to hit you and another The drivers of large trucks are truck drivers, and we have also checked with the freight company provided in the information to prove that these two people are indeed employees of the freight company."

On the surface, it seems that the car accident that Ji Lin encountered, and the car accident where Tang Chu is now at the scene, are all caused by the fatigue driving of two truck drivers.

But whether it is Ji Lin himself, Wen Dong or Tang Chu, they all know that the truth of the matter is far more complicated than what they see on the surface.

"The case of Shenxi gave me experience before," Tang Chu continued without hearing Ji Lin's answer, "The people behind the mask don't say they have hands and eyes, but they are indeed capable. They have tampered with personal information. It really makes it impossible for people with my authority to find out."

One of the biggest difficulties in cracking the Shenxi case before was that even Ji Lin didn't expect Han Yang to have a twin brother in the early stage.

Of course, they also checked Han An's personal information early on. At that time, Tang Chu used his own identity to log into the internal system, but they only found the information of Han An and Han Yang's siblings.

Obviously, the mask had been prepared long ago and tampered with and concealed this important information.

"It's not necessarily tampering this time," Ji Lin's thin lips moved slightly, and he finally spoke, still in his usual indifferent tone, "The identity of the truck driver should be real, and we should focus on checking the family backgrounds of these two people, and For the recent transaction flow, don’t just check their own, check their family’s as well.”

This sentence is actually equivalent to acquiescing to Tang Chu's question just now——

It is possible, or indeed it is, that the one who wants to kill me is the person in the mask.

"Understood, I'll let Xiao Ruan investigate," Tang Chu first responded, and then he paused for two seconds before asking, "Mr. Ji, what do you have against the person who wants to kill you?" Do you have an idea?"

Hearing Tang Chu's question, Wen Dong fixed his eyes on Ji Lin's face again, and he was also very curious about Ji Lin's answer.

However, Ji Yan remained calm as usual. He didn't see any panic that might be caused by this question on his face. He even smiled lowly and said in a relaxed tone: "Officer Tang, do you think too highly of me with this question? I Think about Shen Xi, Fu Yan and Yun Xing, they didn't have a clue about this until they died."

The implication is that, like them, I am now an innocent victim related to the mask, how would I know who wanted my life?

Tang Chu was stunned for a moment, and then felt that Ji Lin's words made sense, he sighed and said: "Yes, if you have a clue, you won't be lying in the hospital now, and the person who wanted to kill you was killed instead, this you Got an idea?"

Ji Lin groaned, and said softly: "We have come to the conclusion before that the meaning of leaving a mask tattoo on the ankle represents "punishment". In this sense, the person who wanted to kill me was killed, that is I was punished, as for the reason for the punishment... maybe because I didn't die and his mission was not completed? "

"It's possible!" Tang Chu immediately said, "There's only so much known information for the time being, and the body will be brought back to the bureau for autopsy. Teacher Ji, please rest well first, and I will tell you as soon as I have any new information here. connect."

Ji Lin responded, and said a few more polite words to Tang Chu, and finally said that he would report to the bureau on time at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Lin locked the phone screen and prepared to return it to Wen Dong, but when he tilted his head, he met Wen Dong's probing eyes.

Ji Lin's words sound logical at first glance, and for a brief moment, Wen Dong will be led by him just like Tang Chu.

However, the sensitivity in nature and the careful observation of different people around him over the years allowed Wen Dong to discover the loopholes.

It is true that Ji Lin is indeed an innocent victim, but he is fundamentally different from Shen Xi, Fu Yan and Yun Xing.

Han Yang and Han An, the murderers who killed Shen Xi, accepted the inducement of the mask, but they did not belong to the mask organization. Regardless of the mask, the case of Shen Xi can be characterized as an acquaintance.

As for Fu Yan and Yun Xing, although the real culprit has not yet been caught, their scope of investigation has not deviated from the category of acquaintances committing crimes, especially Yun Xing, who died in her own home, and the lock on the security door of her house was not even locked. Damaged, this is a very typical sign of acquaintances committing crimes.

Wen Dong had a vague premonition that the outcome of this case would be the same as Shen Xi's case, the murderer would be related to the mask, but not affiliated with the mask.

But Ji Lin encountered a different situation.

The person who wanted to kill Ji Lin had nothing to do with Ji Lin before, and Ji Lin himself acquiesced that the perpetrator was probably one of the masks.

This is very intuitive, the relationship between indirect and direct.

So if we continue to think about it from this perspective, the perpetrators are punished by masks, and there is a new possibility of interpretation.

Wen Dong did not deny the interpretation Ji Lin just gave—Ji Lin was not dead, and the perpetrator was punished for failing to complete the task.

But at the same time, Wen Dong had another completely different guess——

"Ji Lin," Wen Dong suddenly approached Ji Lin, rubbed his lips against Ji Lin's ear, and asked something that had nothing to do with "ambiguity" in such an extremely ambiguous gesture, "Perhaps the person who wanted to kill you was killed." Punishment is not because he failed to kill you, but because he shouldn't kill you, what do you think?"

Compared with "killing Ji Lin" as the task of the mask, Wen Dong's intuition is more inclined, "killing Ji Lin" is the task of one or some people in the mask, and this task violates the higher power control in the mask The intention of the author, so the person who carried out this task was punished.

After Wen Dong finished speaking, he took a step back and distanced himself from Ji Lin in an instant, but he still held Ji Lin's eyes tightly, not letting go of any slight changes that Ji Lin might have.

Ji Lin didn't answer right away, he and Wen Dong looked at each other, their gazes neither dodging nor avoiding.

The air in the ward seemed to stand still at this moment, and a silent confrontation rose up, as if all the charm and heartbeat they had before the phone call in the early Tang Dynasty disappeared in an instant.

But in the next second, Ji Yan opened his mouth, and said something that was completely beyond Wen Dong's expectations——

"What do I think..." He first repeated these four words slowly as if chewing carefully, then the corners of his lips suddenly curled up, the more he picked it up, and then he gave Wen Dong a new title, and said calmly, "My little Rose, if you would give me a kiss first, I think I'd be glad to tell you what I think."
