Before Selma finished speaking, the door of the lounge, which was originally closed, was kicked open.

"Agent Rhett!" An agent in a suit broke in, raised his hand and shot Thelma in the shoulder, and shouted, "Let go of the agent in your hand immediately, Dr. Thelma, or I will use coercion! No one wants to see bloodshed."

There were also a few policemen who broke in after him, and their guns were pointed at Selma.

Thelma's gun and dagger were taken away, and she only had the handkerchief with the anesthetic on her body. She narrowed her eyes, restrained Rhett, and said coldly, "What do you mean?"

The agent first looked at Reed, and when he heard Selma's words, he took out a recording pen and pressed it down. After a few rustles, Selma's voice came clearly from inside, "Since the black queen is dead , Now it's your turn, Black King. '

"Are you familiar, you said it yourself, the remnants of chess, I order you to hand over the hostage immediately." The agent put away the recording pen and added.

"You'd better stay away from me, agent." Selma grabbed Rhett's neck and said viciously, "Since you put a bug here in advance, I guess you should also know what I did before, I could break his neck anytime."

Selma said with a slight force on her palm, and Rhett, who was in a semi-conscious state, groaned and blushed.

However, to Selma's surprise, the agent didn't confront her. He didn't even say a word, and shot Rhett's shoulder without hesitation.

The distance was very close, and the bullet was very powerful. After penetrating Rhett's shoulder, it directly penetrated into Selma's body. When Selma was in a daze, the agent strode over and shot two shots in succession. It hit Thelma's exposed body, and the blood splashed on the white wall behind her, making bloody flowers one after another.

Selma subconsciously wanted to strangle Rhett to death, but her injured arm couldn't exert strength at all. She watched the agent rush over, drag Rhett away, and put the gun on her forehead.

"Who are you?" Thelma covered her wound and asked softly, "Who are you?"

"A low-level agent, you high-ranking scientific researchers can hardly see me." The agent groped in her arms for a moment, took out a black knight, and he tossed it up and down twice, "Come with us, Se Dr. Erma."

Thelma moved her eyes back and forth with the chess piece, and finally her eyes stopped on the agent's brand new white gloves.

"You are more interesting than I thought." Thelma tilted her head and said in a soft voice, blood slipped from her fingers, formed a string, and fell to the ground drop by drop.

"This country doesn't like the death penalty, at least not in this place." Selma put on the handcuffs obediently, she giggled, as if thinking of something interesting, she leaned into the agent's ear and said, "I will come to you again Yes, in the near future, some morning or midnight, they will appear behind you, and then... win this chess game."

Her voice was very low, as if she was talking to herself, the agent ignored her and handed her directly to the policeman guarding the door.

"How is Agent Red's injury?" The agent walked over and took Red who was supported by the police.

"The wound is not serious, but the effect of anesthesia has not yet passed, so she is still not awake." The policeman said to the agent, "We will take her down, and you are responsible for him?"

"I'm not sure, he and I are not in the same department." The agent said hesitantly, "Forget it, I'll accompany him to the hospital. Agent Gordon can't leave the lounge just yet."

As he spoke, he walked out with his arms around Rhett. The policeman pondered for a moment, and recruited two policemen to accompany him to the hospital.

Gordon, who was in the lounge next door, was walking around irritably. He knocked on the door and asked, "Is there anyone outside? What happened to the gunshot just now?"

"Agent Red was attacked, sir." The policeman who heard his voice said nearby. "Agents have taken him to the hospital. You don't have to worry."

Gordon groaned, he nodded, and looked at the TV again, which was still the live broadcast of Qiu Chengke.

"Can I have my cell phone?" Gordon called to the door.

"Sorry, no sir," said the policeman.

"Okay." Gordon held the coffee cup and began to recall the whole process in his mind. The TV camera turned to the scene where the search and rescue personnel searched under the bridge.

Gordon rubbed his forehead, and after a while, he murmured softly, "I can't find it."

....................................

The effect of the anesthesia didn't last long, and Reid could feel everything around him soon. He heard a deep voice talking to other people. He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw a strange face.

"Agent Rhett, does the wound still hurt?" The agent closed the door of the ward, sat next to Rhett's bed and said, "I avoided the dangerous place when I hit it, how do you feel now?"

"Qiu Chengke?" Reid reacted for a while, then said vaguely, "You changed your face again?"

The agent took Rhett's hand and rubbed his face, rubbed against Rhett's palm, and said gently, "Do you feel sticky on your hands? I just put on makeup, and my nose and chin are a little higher. I'm here. There are things padded inside, people remember that a person will first remember the most prominent part of his face, this is what you told me."

"I mean, the distinctive place doesn't mean the higher the better." Reid looked at his aquiline nose and protruding double chin, grinned and said with difficulty, "Well, you have done enough feature."

Qiu Chengke raised his eyebrows noncommittally. He pinched Reid's arm and said apologetically, "Sorry, I'm late. The place where we monitor is a bit far from the lounge."

"Never mind your business." Reid tried to raise his arm, his face flushed, he covered his face and said, "Oh my God, I really didn't expect that I would be controlled by Selma in one fell swoop, I thought we could at least, at least be even [-]-[-] or something."

"My Rhett, how could you naively think that you can win [-]-[-] with a white chess piece." Qiu Chengke said sincerely, "Which white chess piece we have seen is easy to deal with? Even the only child, Natalie, she can She is a master of acting, including Dr. Letterman, can't tell that she is lying, they have their own strengths and unique skills."

"So... Selma's strength is that she can fight well?" Rhett asked tentatively.

"No, her specialty is making human skin masks. The fake Qiu Chengke you see wears masks that she made impromptuly. It's easy to pretend to be a complete stranger, but it's easy to turn into someone who has already It is difficult for people who exist." Qiu Chengke adjusted his chin to make it look more natural, and he continued to comfort him, "But she, like Xia Zuo, used to punch."

"You knew that before?" Rhett asked.

"No, when I confronted her just now, I touched the calluses on her hands." Qiu Chengke said, "Her joints are wide, and there are calluses on her joints. Women's muscles are not as exaggerated as men's, and Selma's figure is not as exaggerated." Very thin, but if you can touch her body, you can feel the strength in her arms."

"I didn't touch her..." Reid said disappointedly, "I was controlled by her until I couldn't even touch the corner of her clothes."

"What should you do now." Reid looked sideways at Qiu Chengke, he frowned and said uncomfortably, "It's so strange to talk to a completely unfamiliar face."

"I can be sure that no one but Viper will know about my plan. I made my death a national live broadcast. Now everyone thinks that the wanted criminal Qiu Chengke is dead." Qiu Chengke looked into Reid's eyes and rubbed at will. Holding Rhett's finger, he said seriously, "Only you know that Qiu Chengke is still alive, and detective Fu Qi is Qiu Chengke. Isn't this a very interesting thing? Only you, Spencer Reid, know who Qiu Chengke is." .”

In fact, Ruide wanted to say that Viper also knew that Fu Qi was Qiu Chengke. After all, Viper helped Qiu Chengke complete the suspended animation plan, but Reid felt that it might not be appropriate to say this at this time. He began to search quickly in his mind, and finally knocked Baba said, "Sounds really good."

"Is this the most appropriate words you can think of?" Qiu Chengke said helplessly.

"I'm not sure." Rhett touched his chest and said hesitantly, "This feels really strange."

"Are you uncomfortable?" Qiu Chengke asked with concern.

"No." Reid clenched his hospital gown tightly. He was silent for a moment, and couldn't help laughing. He propped up his body, hugged Qiu Chengke with one hand, and said briskly, "It's all right now, let's start again. This time I hope We can follow the procedure, give gifts, date, watch movies, confess, and propose marriage. Instead of just rubbing the tip of the nose to replace all dating steps, love is a very important thing, and we must always take it step by step to let my friends accept you , isn't it?"

Qiu Chengke listened quietly, not knowing what to think of, he pursed his lips and touched his nose in embarrassment.

"What did you do to me?" Reid let go of Qiu Chengke, he said suspiciously.

"It's nothing." Qiu Chengke coughed lightly, "Okay... I just stole/photographed you once or twice."

"One or two?" Rhett asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Well, there were five times. I was discovered by Gordon later, and I didn't do it again. I'm not a pervert, but I, you know that there are very few opportunities for us to meet." Qiu Chengke rarely showed a helpless expression on his face, He looked at Reid cautiously, and his voice became smaller and smaller, "Either I have a mission, or you have a case. Sometimes I really want to see you, especially when I am fighting with drug dealers at the border, so I... So a few times, there are no excessive photos, just the way you are talking or in a daze, that's all."

Reid grinned, he didn't expect the serious-looking Qiu Chengke to be such a person, "I remember when we first met, you didn't even want us to see your face. You gave people the feeling that you were a cold, heartless and silent killer. .”

"Really, was I like that before? I don't remember." Qiu Chengke coughed lightly, and immediately changed the subject, "I didn't find the note I gave you in your clothes, did you dispose of it beforehand?"

Reid recalled Qiu Chengke under the cover of smoke bombs, when he hugged him, he stuffed the note in his hand, nodded and said, "I burned it after reading it, did you hide it in the trunk of the car? "

"Yes, Dr. Letterman and Garcia are watching the surveillance. How many people are there and who is missing after the smoke clears? Dr. Letterman can see clearly." Qiu Chengke paused, and continued, "Pretending to be mine People, wearing the human skin mask I made, the escape route was planned, leaving enough time and shooting angles for the reporters to rush to the live broadcast.”

"Who is dead?"

"A traitor in Viper's mercenary team, Viper gave him the condition that he die instead of me or kill his whole family." Qiu Chengke explained, "It is he who exposed Viper's hiding place and let Viper be killed by other forces. Pursuit, in the law of mercenaries, traitors must die, as for the bugs in the lounge, I temporarily used a fake agent identity to coordinate with the police, and I have enough time to install them before you arrive at the police station."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door outside, Qiu Chengke swiped away from Rui Dela, quickly adjusted his image, walked over and asked, "Who?"

"A colleague of Agent Rhett." Xia Zuo's voice came from outside.

Qiu Chengke opened the door, and Xia Zuo, who was wearing a hospital gown and dripping, walked in slowly. He was about to reach out to Qiu Chengke, but when he saw his white gloves, he stopped and withdrew his hand and said, "Hello, Xia Zuo Roger."

Qiu Chengke replied, "Kenneth Greenton, since you have something to say, I won't delay any longer. I have other things to do. The police are on the bench not far away. Goodbye."

After Qiu Chengke finished speaking, he nodded to Reid, turned and left.

Xia Zuo didn't close the door until he was sure that Qiu Chengke had left completely. He pushed the pole on which the bottle was hung, limped to Rhett's bed, sat there without saying a word, just staring Stare at Rhett.

Reid didn't know how to ignore Xia Zuo's gaze, his eyes were as if he wanted to say something, but he would force himself to speak out only if someone asked him actively.

Time passed by, Xia Zuo began to worry that if he waited any longer, he would go to change the bottle. Seeing his awkward look, Reid asked helplessly, "What's your relationship with Selma?"

"Lover." Xia Zuo flicked the infusion tube, thought for a while and continued, "Although I don't like her, she doesn't like me either."

"Cough, um... I remember that you didn't write that much in your information." Reid tried to pick up the topic. There were many strange things about Xia Zuo, and he concealed a lot of things.

"I didn't report it. You can choose to report it or hide it. After all, it's personal privacy." Xia Zuo said calmly, "I want to say, if you lack evidence or something, I can provide it. Selma attacked me. Tell me she's a chess player, and I can find where she hides things because I know her."

"I never thought she would be a chess player, but it's not surprising. After we grew up and developed separately, she became very strange. She has a circle of her own, and she has been hiding it from me." Xia Xia Zuo lowered her head and said beggingly, "I hope you can apply to arrange a separate prison for her, otherwise she may have an accident in the prison. She hates being touched by others or living with other people. She can't do anything about it." If you don't control your emotions, it will cause her a lot of trouble."

"I can't agree." Reid said seriously, "She is a knight who has been transformed into a pawn. We don't know what she did in the process, but I can tell you clearly that every white chess player is stained with blood. Blood, no one is innocent."

"She's threatened, her mind is bound, she's not..."

"She did it willingly! A boy in North Dakota told me that even when the game is over, the evil doesn't end because it's built into the soul of the wicked. Threats make good people commit crimes and bad people have a An excuse to gain sympathy." Rhett interrupted Xia Zuo, and said loudly, "Selma used chess as an excuse to commit a crime, and her heart is now like those perverted killers. Crime makes her happy, and the death of others For her, it is the best fun activity."

"Enough!" Xia Zuo roared, his chest was heaving violently, his eyes were wide open, and he stared at Reid. After a long while, he stood up and said in a low voice, "I should change the bottle. Detective Reid, and also... I am sorry for Qiu Chengke's matter, if you want to help him reverse the case, I will do my best to cooperate."
