criminal profiling

In the dark and quiet underground world, there is only the sound of Zhuang Sheng's own breathing.Suddenly, a switch was activated somewhere, and the screen hung on the wall automatically lit up. After a flash of unstable signal, a clear picture was displayed.

Zhuang Sheng turned his head to look at the screen, and couldn't help but hold his breath.

The picture is silent, but even more thrilling.

The three people were locked in the glass of the revolving door. At the beginning, they kept knocking on the glass, looking for a way out.There was no panic on the face, it seemed a little confused.Afterwards, I didn't know what I heard, and I became overwhelmed. One of them accidentally pushed the door, and the revolving door turned, almost pushing the other two unprepared people down.

Suddenly, one of them didn't know what he saw, and desperately pushed the door in front of him, turned around half a circle, and stopped still.The other two didn't know why, and kept asking what, but the man just squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, and blocked the door with his body to prevent it from turning.

Not long after, the other two people finally understood why the first person pushed the door, and Zhuang Sheng also saw it.

——There is a large glass box on the side against the wall. One end of the glass box is facing the opening under the revolving door, and the things in the box can climb into the revolving door through the opening.

I don't know whether it was disturbed by the breath of a living person or the noisy sound, the things in the box slowly crawled out - they were black, white, or colorful snakes.

In order not to be bitten by the snake, everyone pushed the revolving door desperately, trying to isolate their position from the passageway for the snake to enter and exit.However, no matter how the revolving door turns, someone will be exposed to the Shekou.If you want to avoid being bitten, you can only let the door stop when you deviate from that position.

So, as soon as I left that position, I didn't want to move, and tried my best to keep the revolving door still.But the person who turned to the position with the opening tried his best to push the door open.

Under such circumstances, the three of them had to keep turning with the revolving door, and at the same time be alert when the snake crawled over from that opening.

Finally, the snake crawled over, and a person was bitten, but he didn't die from the poison immediately.Driven by fear, he ran faster, burst out with great strength, and escaped from that position.

Then, the second person, the third person.They're in a trance, don't even know they've been bitten, or completely forget why they're running around the revolving door.

Finally, the three were exhausted, the venom spread, their movements became slower and slower, and finally they fell to the ground and did not move anymore.

The picture freezes, three corpses fall silently to the ground, and several snakes that escaped hide under the warm human body.If it weren't for the occasional piece of snake scales sliding and moving under the clothes, it would make people think that the picture was paused.

There was a burst of electric current, the screen trembled, and when it resumed, the screen had changed.

The snow-white gown did not show the head, only the chest.The man sat at the table with a plate in front of him, holding the knife and fork with his clean and slender fingers, cutting the steak on the plate bit by bit.The steak is cooked in one layer at most, and the blood streaks on it can be seen.

The strength and interval of each knife did not change, and the diced beef cut out seemed to be printed on a mold, square and equal in size.Every time a grain was cut, the man would use a fork to move aside and arrange them neatly—from the background behind, it was shot in this room, and even in the corner, the revolving glass door could be seen .

"It's a pity that we couldn't meet each other. I wanted to wait for a while, but then I thought, it's better to save the chance to meet at the end, so that you and I can keep our expectations until the end." The voice from the screen was distorted , but the owner who can still hear the voice is very leisurely, as if chatting with an old friend, calm and calm.

In the background sound, there seemed to be someone's wailing.

"Actually, these three people don't have to all die, at least two of them can survive. It's a pity that no one is willing to be the only one who sacrificed, so they all died." The tone seemed regretful, and ten pieces of beef were cut out. The man stopped cutting, inserted a diced beef into his mouth.

"If I were to choose, I don't know who is more damned, so I have to leave the choice to them. In fact, the decision to choose three people is not easy. Although they came to me at different times, they should Basically everything I said has been told to me—although the crimes are different, they have all reached the level of being 'cleared'." The knife and fork pointed back, and the tone was casual.

"Here, I found out that there was something wrong with the factory machine, but I didn't bother to report it because it wasn't my job. In the end, the accident happened, the property loss was tens of millions, and the number of victims reached nine people. No one knew that he was aware of it in advance, because he didn't tell anyone. So there is no need to bear any responsibility.

"He confessed to me, said he hoped to make amends, and I told him: You can die, but he dare not—oh, die."

The man turned his head and continued to eat the steak while talking slowly.

"There is another one. His wife was about to give birth, and she urged him to go to the hospital and always said 'wait for it'. As a result, his wife had dystocia and died on the way to the hospital, killing two people.

"As for the last one, you definitely can't think of it. He passed by and saw a traffic accident. Four injured people were lying on the ground, and there was no one around. He said that because he didn't bring a mobile phone, he couldn't call for help, so he continued to walk slowly. .I didn’t call the emergency until I saw a public phone booth—however, the injured were already dead. When I came to consult, I asked him if it was the four people if you ran faster or called for help. It is possible to save it, and then he replied—" The man stopped eating, although he couldn't see his head, he could feel that he was staring at the camera.

"Run and do something, it may not be able to save the life, I have already called for help, what else do I need?"

"Oh, what should I 'do' him? I didn't let him do anything. He didn't run at that time, so let him run more now. He could have run for other people's lives, but now let him run for his own. Run with your life and see how fair I am."

The steak on the plate was eaten clean, and even the vegetables were cut into equal sizes and eaten.The man neatly placed the knife and fork on both sides of the dinner plate, and the used napkins were also folded into their original shape and placed on the table.Those slender and clean hands were lightly placed flat on the table, posing for a formal conversation, looking straight ahead, with a more solemn tone.

"I'm telling you so much because I hope you can understand me. After all, if you only have one person's faith, you will inevitably feel lonely. As for what I do, even if others don't understand it, I believe you can understand it."

"Right, Team Leader Meng Yan."

The picture returned to darkness, and the surroundings fell into silence again, a terrible silence.

The isolated figure in the room seemed to be about to be crushed by gravity at that moment, bending its back.The thin back, as long as there is a little bit of external force, it will fall off.

Zhuang Sheng suddenly gasped for breath, he held onto his chest tightly, as if he couldn't breathe, the blood on his face faded away in an instant.

In the isolated underground world, except for the dim light, there are only three pale corpses, making people feel like they are in hell—as if a ghost will crawl out of the ground in the next moment, dragging him into the abyss together.

The strength of his whole body was lost, he staggered two steps, his body fell backwards, but he didn't fall on the cold ground, but fell into a warm and broad embrace.

"Shengsheng, don't be afraid, I'm here, it's okay, it's okay." The gentle comfort over and over again made Zhuang Sheng's body warm up, and his drifting consciousness gradually returned.

He didn't look back to see who was holding him behind him. With such a familiar aura, he could still distinguish it even after many years.

"I'm not afraid." After a while, Zhuang Sheng didn't know whether to refute or persuade himself, pursed his lips, and said something.Pause for a moment, and then repeat it again with a stronger tone.

"I'm not afraid."

Behind him, Meng Yan had complicated eyes.His gaze scanned every corner of the room, and finally landed on the slightly pale face of the person in his arms, sighing silently.He pulled the young man's shoulders and made him face himself, his tone can be described as earnest.

"Shengsheng, be obedient and don't get involved in such incidents. If you really like investigating cases, I'll help you open a detective agency and investigate as you want, okay?" The last tone has already been used With a coaxing tone, Zhuang Sheng just lowered his eyes and remained silent, but he didn't break free from his embrace.

Both of them seem to have forgotten their posture at this time, or they are too used to this posture so that no one moves, only one of them is trying hard to achieve a good communication.

Seeing that the young man kept his head down and did not look at him, nor responded to his words, the sigh in Meng Yan's eyes became stronger.He touched the top of Zhuang Sheng's head with his palm, and rubbed it lightly. Zhuang Sheng's eyes trembled slightly, and his fingers curled up to hold it.

"Shengsheng, there are many dark corners in this world, which cannot be dispelled by any light. Once people are assimilated, they can only fall into the abyss. So, don't try to get close to it, let alone touch it, promise me, okay? ?”

The man's pleading tone finally made the young man in his arms react. He looked up, saw the pain in the man's eyes flashed away, and his expression was dazed.

"Did you choose to retire because you were afraid?"

As soon as Zhuang Sheng's words came out, Meng Yan was stunned, staring blankly at his crystal clear eyes - these dark and bright eyes were as clean and pure as before, nothing could pollute them at all.

Many years ago, these same eyes looked at him, full of trust, believing that he could defeat all monsters in the world.

But now, looking at him with these eyes, the owner of the eyes asked: Are you afraid?

The man didn't answer, Zhuang Sheng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his eyes to stare at him again, his eyes had become firm.

"You can, you can, and so can I."

"Shengsheng." Meng Yan's hand trembled slightly, and gently caressed his face.The child who was so young back then, now that he has grown up, still looks so small, his face is not as big as his palm, and he spread his palm to cover half of his face.

Zhuang Sheng did not refuse such an intimate gesture, he even unconsciously rubbed the man's palm lightly, with a contented and vulnerable expression on his face.

Looking at Zhuang Sheng who was so attached to him, Meng Yan couldn't help but make his movements more gently, for fear of hurting the young man's fair face like tender tofu - just that rubbing seemed to reach the bottom of his heart, itchy, and there was a slight tingle. Ripples of pain.He couldn't help but want to hug the young man even tighter, kneading him into his flesh and blood and never separating him again.
