The Way To Escape the Scum

When I went back, it was about six o'clock in the evening, the sun was gradually sinking, and the sunset was magnificent and gentle. When Cheng Xingguang saw people coming and going on the street, Ling Xiao alone held an umbrella to shade the sun, and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

"Okay, now I don't need an umbrella, it won't hurt."

Ling Xiao: "Is the vision of these passers-by important to you? Shut up and stay under the umbrella."

"Oh, too." Cheng Xingguang was scolded, but he was quite happy.

She was a little nervous at the thought of having a face-to-face battle with the person who killed her at night, and somehow she was looking forward to it.

"I practiced Taekwondo for two years when I was a child. Master Ling, your force value is also very high? We can directly subdue that scumbag."

Ling Xiao said strangely: "I use your body, how can the force value be high? Who else told you that we are going to be tough?"

Cheng Xingguang:…

"Wait, what do you mean?" She hesitated, "Didn't you say you want to fight a tough battle?"

Ling Xiao: "First, I prefer to do sneak attacks from behind rather than face-to-face confrontation. Second, I don't do it, this kind of work is done by professional people."

It is quite reasonable for her to say this.

As soon as he went upstairs, Cheng Xingguang saw two people blocking his door, both wearing sunglasses and masks.

Ling Xiao opened the door, but didn't throw away her slippers: "I've been busy with sadness these days, and the house is in chaos, so just put on your shoes and go in."

Cheng Xingguang: I'm so sorry.

One of them is Sun Sisi.

She took off the disguise on her face and introduced coldly: "This is my friend, the current police detective in the city, the champion of Sanda in the team. She is on vacation today."

There are not many who can be called friends by this sister. Ling Xiao took a look, hey, the woman next to her happened to be the policewoman who received her report that day, surnamed Wang.

"I asked you to bring a reliable bodyguard, I didn't expect it to be an acquaintance, but it's a coincidence," Ling Xiao stepped forward and shook hands, "Hello, Officer Wang."

The corners of Sun Sisi's mouth also raised a little radian.

"When someone made verbal threats to me, I directly called the police, which was the case she was in charge of."

Officer Wang smiled gently, then said straight to the point: "In this way, let's take a look at the current situation first."

"Ms. Cheng's case, unfortunately we have not been able to locate the suspect for the time being, and the technicians are still doing their best to investigate. The other party's deep forgery technology is very good, and there is some tracking information in the virtual world. It’s difficult, but it should come to fruition soon.”

"The man in your company named Liu Siye is very likely the suspect who posted the fake picture, and he may attack you tonight, isn't he?"

This is what Ling Xiao told Sun Sisi in a text message.

Ling Xiao nodded: "Yes, I am 100% sure that it is him. But unfortunately, there is no substantial legal evidence at present."

So she concealed some unspeakable content and told two people her speculation. Officer Wang pondered for a while, and then pondered: "There is indeed insufficient evidence. We cannot apply for a search warrant or summon him, let alone conduct investigations in private."

"So what I'm going to say next, I'm speaking as an ordinary friend, not a detective—"

"We divide our work at night. If this Liu Siye doesn't show up or has no criminal intent, then this matter is just a little secret between friends. If I can catch it, I will naturally be truthful. In the reporting bureau, follow-up interrogation and arrest will be conducted in accordance with the procedures."

Talking to smart people is refreshing. After a few people reached a consensus, Ling Xiao smiled and said, "It's exactly what I want, I'll trouble Officer Wang and Sisi."

"Then let's start working on a plan—"

Cheng Xingguang: Although I didn't quite understand it, I still actively participated in the study!

The "Love Hotel, ten o'clock in the evening" that Ling Xiao said to Liu Siye before is not a random nonsense, but a carefully arranged time and place. If it's too late, it will look unnatural. After nine o'clock in the evening, there were fewer people on the road, so he could relax his vigilance and just have time to go home to prepare for crime.

As for the "Love Hotel", it is an excellent place for him to commit crimes. From Cheng Xingguang's home to that hotel, there was very little traffic on the road. The most ingenious thing is that there will be a deserted small park in the middle, where the vegetation is lush and hidden, and there are rocks blocking the view, which is very suitable for action.

Of course, these advantages are also the advantages that Ling Xiao values, and she even sees more than Liu Siye.

"For a while, please ask Officer Wang to wait behind the largest rock in the park, and Sisi uses a telescope upstairs to confirm the distance between him and me. Once the range is reduced to within three meters, please call immediately. I will lead him to the vicinity of the stone and ask Officer Wang to subdue him when he starts a criminal operation."

Ling Xiao emphasized the word "start" again. This means that she will not allow such a scumbag to have his sentence reduced on the grounds that he is "just in a state of criminal readiness". At the same time, it also means that she will take some life-threatening risks.

Sun Sisi agrees, thinking that this is the most efficient and effective. Officer Wang hesitated for a while, but finally did not object. As a woman, she understands the power of insulting photos and remarks, and at the same time, as a person with a sense of justice, she also wants the perpetrators to be punished accordingly.

"My skill is not bad, even if the other party has a knife, it is ok at this distance."

Ling Xiao: "He probably used sulfuric acid. In the photo he took secretly, my face was completely torn, but it was not scratched with a pen or a knife. And Liu Si Ye Wei is cowardly and has low self-esteem, with a thin physique and probably not very confident in his own body. In this case, chemicals are a very convenient tool."

In the original timeline, he did just that. I am afraid that after being provoked by Ling Xiao, he will not change other crime tools in a hurry.

Sun Sisi coldly took out a set of acid-proof work clothes from the bag, which has been cut and modified into the style of ordinary going out, but at the same time, it can also ensure that it is not harmed by danger.

"You asked me to buy it from a labor protection equipment store. I have just changed the lower waist and added some patterns. It is not ugly to wear it out."

Ling Xiao took it and immediately put on: "Thank you, please have dinner."

Officer Wang sighed helplessly: "Be careful in everything."

A former client and a current client, both of them are very worried.

However, that's fine, albeit a little dangerous.

If Officer Wang knew, the real victim floating in the air at the moment is cheering excitedly…

Well, luckily she didn't know.

————

At 9:30 p.m., cicadas chirped on the big tree by the roadside, the sultry heat during the day had completely subsided, and the breeze brought a hint of coolness. Pedestrians on the street became sparse, and the evening courtesans swayed out the door.

Sun Sisi is worthy of being a business star. She suddenly changed the gray labor insurance clothing into a new summer haute couture. Ling Xiao dutifully wrapped a bright red trench coat outside. As a target victim, it is very conspicuous.

Occasionally passers-by recognized this as the heroine of the latest scandal and whispered. When Ling Xiao met the scrutinizing eyes, he waved his hand gracefully.

"It's okay to look at it, but refuse to take pictures. Please don't post false remarks, and add fuel to the reckless behavior on the Internet."

"Ah, of course, if it's for me, then thank you all here."

No one saw her, she was wearing a pair of sneakers that didn't quite fit her dress.

But at night, who cares about other people's shoes?

Liu Siye was wearing a concealed black sweater, and followed the woman in front lightly, not too far or too close, neither lost the target nor attracted the attention of the other party.

Cheng Xingguang is really good at pretending. He stared straight at the beautiful woman in front of him, and his thoughts kept going up and down.

A few hours ago, Liu Siye rushed home as soon as he got off work.

This little nest used to be his paradise, and the entire wall was covered with photos of Cheng Xingguang, including the photos he quietly went to the studio to take, and the silhouette of her eating at a dinner party.

How did you notice her in the first place?

Oh yes. Because of his gloomy and taciturn personality, he has been rejected by the people around him since he was a child. Some people even maliciously grafted his ID photo onto the nude/body of a women's magazine, posted it on the school's bulletin wall, and was pointed and abused by countless people. laugh at.

The same goes for college and work later. He obviously didn't do anything, and he was going to suffer endless pain.

Over the years, Cheng Xingguang is the purest girl he has ever seen, she is lively and cheerful, and treats the people around her equally - including himself.

So this girl is destined to be a born star, illuminating the ugly world, and must not be defiled or possessed by anyone.

It's a pity that she ignored her persuasion and wanted to fall into mortal love. Today, every frown and smile in the photo on the wall is mocking his own stupidity to treat such a rambunctious woman as a treasure he wants to protect.

At this moment, Liu Siye put his hand into his pocket and kept rubbing the bottle.

It's not enough to let her experience the pain that she was once pointed out by thousands of people and couldn't argue. When the liquid in this bottle touches her, that beautiful face will no longer make her addicted and hated.

Soon to that park, it's all over.

His body began to tremble with excitement.

…

As A Piao, the distance between Cheng Xingguang and Ling Xiao cannot exceed three meters. She can only hide from the sun under the umbrella during the day, but it doesn't matter at night. The three-meter distance just made her float in front of Liu Siye.

Yes, when Liu Siye was closely following Ling Xiao, Cheng Xingguang was actually following him. But obviously Liu Siye didn't realize that the real victim was right in front of him.

Cheng Xingguang looked at Ling Xiao and analyzed Liu Siye's micro-expressions, but unfortunately found nothing. However, she got into the bottle in the pocket and saw it clearly - it said highly concentrated sulfuric acid.

So the murderer who let himself die so ugly in countless curses and cheers is indeed this person.

But he doesn't look any different from other people, he just doesn't like to talk. Why in the end?

Cheng Xingguang couldn't say anything in his heart. It's not so much resentment, it's better to say... There is a trace of sadness in my heart.

Maybe there are many ordinary people like her who just want to live a good life, but are destroyed unknowingly.

If this is the case, then what is wrong with those who do wrong? Their motives may be completely different, but wrong is wrong, and the damage that has been done can no longer be repaired.

Not everyone can be like her and have a chance to come back.

Cheng Xingguang floated back to Ling Xiao, and said what he found, and suggested to prepare immediately. Before she knew it, she stopped feeling self-pity and became calm and decisive, making problem solving a priority.

Ling Xiao made a "hmm" and tightened her protective cap.

Soon, I passed the deserted little park.

The air became stagnant and silent. The phone rang suddenly, breaking the breathless concentration at this moment.

The breath of the stalker behind him instantly turned vigilant and did not act rashly. Ling Xiao slowed down and walked quietly into the park.

"Hello? Honey, I'll be there soon. What, you'll pick me up at the park in a while, and let's go to dinner? Mmmm, I know~"

Her voice was sticky, and she didn't seem to realize that the crisis was coming.

"Okay, I'll wait for you for ten minutes next to a big rock." Ling Xiao blew a kiss to the phone.

Sun Sisi in the residential building diagonally above put down the telescope and said indifferently: "Well, dear, be careful yourself."

Liu Siye hung up the phone as if she saw the woman in front of her coquettishly.

She looks like this when no one is there.

So what is the behavior that I cherished so much in the past?

No, don't think about it, it's time to act!

Only ten minutes, he must solve it right here!

A little scared, but more of an uncontrollable excitement. He imagined the scene he was about to see, and the tragic appearance might coincide with the torn face in the photo.

She would scream, cry, repent, die ugly, and atone for her sins.

Liu Siye took a deep breath, stepped forward, and walked towards the woman who knew nothing about her destiny.

Messy branches and leaves grow wildly. The aroma of hibiscus flowers growing freely in the distance is so refreshing on a summer night.

There are only two of them in the park at the moment, and she is leaning on the boulder, playing with her phone with her head down, completely unaware of her approach.

Liu Siye trembled, and finally opened the bottle firmly.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the leaves shook violently, making a rustling sound.

Liu Siye stood a meter away, took out the bottle, and poured it on Ling Xiao!

A sudden change! A moment of life and death!

At this critical moment, Ling Xiao, who had been pretending to be playing with his mobile phone, but was actually paying careful attention to the changes in the breath around him, quickly wrapped his protective clothing and hat.

She tilted her body lightly, then rolled over to hide behind the boulder.

The violently corrosive liquid was splashed on the leaves and soil, and white smoke suddenly appeared in the dark night.

Missed!

Liu Siye never imagined that the other party was so flexible and agile. When he saw Ling Xiao hid behind the stone, he also hurriedly followed.

How come? !

"Meet again, it's actually you." She even greeted politely.

Why was she able to dodge?

Wait, how does she know that the liquid in her hand needs to be avoided immediately!

She…knows her plans for tonight? !

Liu Siye was furious and anxious for a while, and before she could fully react, her body started to move again.

He has no way out, he can only continue!

"Bang-"

The air was pierced by a rush of air. Liu Siye tried to attack again, but the stone from behind hit his shoulder blade with precision.

It hurts! Liu Siye let go of his hand subconsciously.

With this action, the remaining liquid poured on the ground, splashed on his shoes, and burned the holes. The bottle also fell on the dirt, without making any noise, as if to declare that his plans for the night had failed.

"Who?"

A figure quickly approached from behind.

Liu Siye wanted to resist, but found that the opponent had a very professional fighting stance. He didn't even have the strength to fight, and his hands were twisted in an instant!

"Police. Don't move!"

Cuffed his hands. That icy cold chill immediately spread to the bottom of his heart.

This is a well-planned… trap!

Ling Xiao clapped the dust on her hands, walked over, and came close to his ear.

"I said, I'm here waiting for someone."

As in the daytime, she is clearly doing frivolous actions, but her eyes are calm and indifferent.

Facing such unfamiliar eyes, Liu Siye felt a little stunned.

He slowly raised his eyes and squeezed out a self-deprecating smile.

"You already knew it was me and said those words on purpose, didn't you?"

Ling Xiao nodded.

"You're trying to ruin me—or, you've trampled my life."

"I want to ask you, don't you have anything to say to me now?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Siye replied slowly: "It turned out to be a lie to me. You lied to me again."

He didn't know what he was thinking, and murmured these two sentences.

"It's a shame, only a little."

He sneered.

After that, he showed obvious resistance and only responded with silence.

Officer Wang frowned and said, "I won't say it now, but I will say it when I arrive at the bureau. Besides, you have already been arrested, are there any other crimes? Let's confess and be lenient."

"Let me have a try, there are some questions I want to clarify." Ling Xiao requested.

She simply jumped onto the stone and looked down at him condescendingly.

"Say, what did I lie to you? What do you want?"

"Why do you treat me like this, have I ever done anything to hurt you?"

Liu Siye was unmoved, turned her head in disgust, and closed it tightly.

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and decided to change the question as the entry point.

"Why are those fake photos posted online?"

"You are a man, you should know what it means to be daring." She asked slowly, word by word, "Or, you did this on purpose to get my attention and let me I pay attention to a poor **** like you?"

Hearing the word "poor", Liu Siye's expression changed and his body trembled.

Inferiority, sensitivity. What does this person usually care about most?

No, not an emotional fantasy, but a fragmented self-esteem that is still difficult to piece together after a long time.

"Unfortunately you chose the wrong method, I will never forgive scumbags like you. If I can, I would love to try to make your photos public on the Internet so that everyone can Look at your gloomy and uninteresting appearance."

Ling Xiao carefully observed the other party's expression changes, and quickly analyzed it, attacking the weakest part of his heart.

She also once thought, why did Liu Siye choose the specific and complicated method of "uploading and publicly forging photos"?

There are many options for destroying a person. In the end, the perpetrator must choose the one that pleases him the most and feels the joy of revenge.

"Do you know what you will experience? As a personal experiencer, I can tell you clearly. There are so many people on the Internet, countless people who know and don't know, they are in their spare time. Yu and Fun will spit at your photos when they pass by."

"Maybe say, 'Look, this is this disgusting man, he's a shameless criminal, I've seen him look like he can get dirty with just a single word...'"

"You know very well that I'm not scaring you, right? Because you planned my disaster."

"But what's even more ridiculous is that you yourself have been a victim of this situation."

The words entered Liu Siye's ears with the wind, like a sharp knife stabbing into his chest.

"No, no..."

It was a whispered rebuttal at first.

"Stop talking! It's not me, it's not me!"

"I didn't do anything, why are you all making fun of me, why?!"

Liu Siye was tightly restrained, and the violent movement made his bones creak.

But he still tried to turn his head to look at Ling Xiao, just like a lunatic.

"Cheng Xingguang, you betrayed me, so I want you to taste the pain I have suffered, what's wrong with this?"

"I clearly warned you not to let yourself down, but you turned a deaf ear... You deceived me, so I punished you, what's wrong with this?"

He has no logic.

Ling Xiao's original intention was to make him admit the fact that the photos were faked. By the way, I would like to ask Liu Siye if he has any hidden difficulties, or if there is anything that needs to be known to Cheng Xingguang Kindness, even if it is buried in deep mud.

But unfortunately, it is just a story of a victim who has become a perpetrator.

Poor? He used to be really poor. But can that be a reason to point the knife at someone else?

He just concentrated all his beautiful fantasies on Cheng Xingguang and deified them.

Once there is the slightest dissatisfaction, he can justly inflict his pain on the other party and make up for the hurt himself in a despicable way.

Even they just passed by and had a slightly better relationship than strangers.

The so-called reasons and difficulties are not valid. He has no right to hurt others in this way. In other words, no one has such a right.

Ling Xiao was unmoved.

"I have nothing to do with you. I have never had an in-depth conversation with you, and I don't seem to have given you any hints. Illness in the brain needs to be treated in time, rather than fantasizing about the long night Story, forcibly come to me to add drama."

"I don't care what you've been through, how your mood has changed. All I know is that I'm the unfortunate one who won the lottery and was seen by you. You stole my home address, took candid photos, interfered with me My personal life and posting false photos without authorization have caused me serious personal and reputational insults."

"Even, you want to kill me in the name of "purification"."

Ling Xiao bluntly pointed out his crazy actions one by one, disgusting the authentic:

"Look at what you've done, nothing can beautify. I think it's you who needs to be purified and destroyed."

Liu Siye laughed and roared sadly.

"No, why don't you understand..."

"I used to love you so much and worship you like a god. It's all your fault, it's their fault!"

"Yes, I'm not wrong, it's the world that's wrong!"

Ling Xiao: ...Well, she really can't keep up with the perverted brain circuit.

Cheng Xingguang, who was hiding beside Ling Xiao just now, did not say a word.

But when she heard the words that the teacher and friend used to comfort her and became a ridiculous excuse for the criminal, the anger that had been hidden for a long time was completely ignited, and it burned instantly stand up.

She was so angry that she wanted to say something and do something.

No, that's not it. She was indeed harmed innocently, but what qualification does a criminal like him have to accuse countless conscientious people?

Cheng Xingguang rushed in front of him. Although this lunatic can't see himself at all, and can't hear her.

"Speaking so much, you are just for your own selfish desires!" She said angrily.

"What kind of so-called purity, what kind of person I am is not your turn to define! I live happily, where is it that hinders you?"

"What a **** love, what made me go through the same pain as you. I sympathize with what you have been through, but I don't forgive, because it's just an excuse to vent!"

"It's not in the photo, it's not you who was scolded, it's not you who died in pain, so you enjoy the pleasure of playing with other people's lives!"

"Can the pain of death be imagined by the living? Do you know better than me the unwillingness of leaving the world with despair? I am fortunate to change my fate, but not everyone is like me , there is still a chance to come back!"

"You're just a criminal. Those neurotic comments are reserved for the prison to speak to the wall!"

Cheng Xingguang finished scolding for a while, and felt that most of the grievances and pains of the past few days had dissipated, and he was very relieved.

Do it again, knowing that life and time are precious. Since he has already subverted the Fa, why waste time reasoning with scumbags?

Sorry, she doesn't listen to the voice of the villain.

Ling Xiao almost didn't hold back his expression and almost didn't laugh out loud.

"Um- that's right, you can say these words to the public prosecutor."

"I'm busy, busy living my life."

Speaking of which, Liu Siye and Cheng Xingguang have both experienced being hurt by words.

But unfortunately, at the fork in life, they embarked on different paths because of their different personalities, encounters, and determinations.

"Then wish you a good time in prison in advance."

"At the same time I sincerely hope that you will still have a chance to repent."

The faint sound of sirens came from a distance.

Ling Xiao left here without looking back.

"Let's go."

The piercing shouts behind him gradually moved away.

Such a person will never appear in Cheng Xingguang's life again.

Not far away, Sun Sisi sat in another police car and waved to her.

"It's great that you didn't die." She said lightly.

Cheng Xingguang landed on Sun Sisi's shoulder and made a small "huh".

"I seem to be able to discern genuine concern."

Although it may sound a little cold, but this is a real friend, right?

Cheng Xingguang floated to Ling Xiao's ear and said something.

Ling Xiao listened with a smile, and relayed to Sun Sisi word by word.

It seems that among friends, there is always a need for someone who is more honest.

"Well, thanks for your concern, I'm back."
