Chapter 210 Lu Xiangdong Turns His Face

Cheng Feng chased Lu Xiangdong away, and only Jiayi and Bi Xia were left in the ward. Jiayi was completely confused by Lu Xiangdong's inexplicable appearance and departure just now, but Bi Xia seemed to understand something. He got up and lay down on the hospital bed in a slumped manner.

Jiayi saw his emotional changes. Because of his personality, although the teacher and student could not be called close, at least they got along well. From Jiayi's observation, Lu Xiangdong was so awkward and cold. Even though he was a human being, he was able to accept Bi Xia's doctoral application and took him with him wherever he went on weekdays, which proved that Bi Xia was still valued in Lu Xiangdong's heart, but now Lu Xiangdong turned his face and turned into an indifferent , and even the state of cold eyes facing each other made Jiayi feel very strange. There seemed to be an undercurrent between these two people, but it was a bit confusing for others.

"What happened between you and Lu Xiangdong?" Jiayi brought the topic back to the topic before Lu Xiangdong broke in.

"We're fine, Mr. Liu, leave it alone!" Bi Xia turned her head away: "It's getting late, and it's time to visit. You should go back with Officer Cheng! With him by your side, there must be no problem in terms of safety." questionable."

Seeing his appearance, Jiayi didn't want to force him, so he could only make a compromise: "Okay then, since this is the case, you should rest well, and we will come see you tomorrow!"

"No, don't come tomorrow!" Bi Xia sat up from the bed as if he had been electrocuted: "I will be discharged from the hospital in a day or two. I have no health problems, so don't come!"

If Jiayi still couldn't see anything wrong with his reaction, then she would be too stupid, so when Bi Xia spoke, she also took back the steps she had already taken.

"What's going on?" Jia Yi frowned sullenly: "What's wrong with you two? Are you avoiding me?"

"No." Bi Xia lowered his eyelids and refused to look at Jia Yi: "I just don't think it's necessary."

"Are you blaming me for hurting you?"

Jiayi's deliberate provocation had an effect, Bi Xia suddenly raised his face, stared at Jiayi, with dissatisfaction and grievance in his tone: "Mr. Liu, in your eyes, am I such a small-hearted, resentful person?"

"If not, what are you avoiding?"

"What do you want me to say?" Bi Xia had a troubled expression on his face, and struggled in his eyes: "Ms. Lu is my mentor. I have spent so much effort to study for a doctorate. I can't just fall short like this. I don't want him." You have misunderstood me even more."

"What do you mean?" Jia Yi looked at Bi Xia suspiciously: "What did he misunderstand you? What does this have to do with me coming to see you?"

Bi Xia was silent, and Jia Yi didn't urge them. The two of them confronted each other silently for a while, before Bi Xia sighed and said to Jia Yi: "Why are you doing this? You and Teacher Lu are working together... "

"Just tell me what you want!" Jiayi was a little annoyed, his patience was exhausted, and his tone was unavoidably high.

"Mr. Lu misunderstood that I had other thoughts about you."

As soon as Bi Xia's words came out, Jia Yi became embarrassed and his face turned red.

Bi Xia looked at Jiayi with complicated eyes: "Since I started, let me just say it frankly. I admit that I have a crush on you, and I really wanted to pursue you before, but I can also see that you I didn't mean that to me, so I retreated in spite of the difficulties, but Mr. Lu seemed to think that I approached you with ulterior motives. He had hinted at me many times before. It may be that I have dealt with you and Officer Cheng together. The serial murder case is too interesting, and I have discussed it with you more times, so..."

"So he warned you again?" Jiayi felt inexplicable. She did feel a little embarrassed by Bi Xia's previous advances, but since he stopped those actions, she didn't have any troubles because of it, let alone feel Bi Xia. What kind of intentions does Xia have?When Bi Xia said this, she immediately thought of the dispute between Lu Xiangdong and Bi Xia at the bottom of the library stairs that day, and now she was finally sure that the "she" they were talking about was really herself.

The two of them suddenly fell silent again, no one knew what to say, especially Jia Yi, facing Bi Xia who suddenly admitted that he had a crush on him, made her not know how to react, and Lu Xiangdong's attitude It made her feel even more inexplicable.

"By the way, Teacher Liu, I just heard you talking to Police Officer Cheng. Are you on vacation?" Bi Xia spoke again, as if he hadn't talked about the topic before, and chatted with Jiayi in a relaxed tone.

"Oh, yes," Jiayi also recovered from his contemplation: "I haven't been feeling particularly well recently, so I applied for a vacation from the academy, and I can investigate the case with Cheng Feng and the others."

"Don't work too hard, your body is important!" Bi Xia told Jiayi with concern, and asked casually, "Is there any progress on the case?"

"Not yet, another corpse was found today, and the modus operandi is very similar to the previous three cases." Jiayi briefly talked about Chen Rong's situation.

After listening to her carefully, Bi Xia said with certainty: "The person who killed Chen Rong must not be the same as the previous three!"

"We think so too, what's your reason?" Jiayi was curious about his determination.

"The motive of committing the crime! The motive of this case is obviously different from the previous three cases," Bi Xia thought for a while, and said cautiously: "Chen Rong is based on the missing parts of her body, or the fact that she has been sexually assaulted. Look, the murderer did it for the purpose of satisfying his selfish desires. The lack of bilateral breasts is a typical sexual perversion. I think the murderer must have taken it away as a souvenir after the crime! And the first three cases, I personally think , when the murderer committed the crime, he was trying to convey an intention to us."

"What intention?"

"In the three homicide cases, the deceased had a pentagram symbol on their bodies. For this symbol, I specifically checked the information. There used to be a relatively mysterious religion in the West, which has long since disappeared. They believed in killing evil people. Draw the pentagram symbol with your own dirty blood, which means that the souls of these people will be thrown into hell and handed over to Satan. So I was thinking, the pentagram symbol painted on the three dead people, would Doesn’t it happen to represent such a meaning?” Bi Xia asked Jiayi uncertainly: “Do these three dead people have any bad records?”

"No, if there is any flaw, it is in terms of private life, the three women are not very disciplined."

"Maybe that's the reason! In Western religions, lasciviousness itself is a great original sin!"

After listening to Bi Xia's analysis, Jiayi only felt angry: "Even if the three of them are a bit casual in this respect and are not worth learning from others, it's not a big crime. Why should the murderer just because of such inexplicable crimes?" The reasons for disregarding human life! Except for the law, no one has the right to decide the life and death of others!"

"You are right, no one has the right to decide the life and death of others!" Bi Xia pondered.

The visiting time was over, and the nurse came to ask Jiayi to leave the ward. Jiayi told Bi Xia to take a good rest and leave the ward. Cheng Feng could not be seen anywhere in the corridor, so he had to look for it in the public corridor outside the ward gate. The gate happened to see Cheng Feng and Lu Xiangdong standing face to face not far away, Cheng Feng turned his back to him, while Lu Xiangdong stood facing him with a sullen expression, talking to Cheng Feng, because of the distance, Jiayi only listened to him. to his last few words.

"...Don't act like an idiot!"

"Lu Xiangdong, did you take the wrong medicine today?" Before Cheng Feng could say anything, Jia Yi rushed over: "What's wrong with you? Why are you biting everywhere like a mad dog?"

Lu Xiangdong glared at her and ignored her.

"Jiayi!" Cheng Feng knew that Jiayi was arguing for him, so he took her hand, pulled her to his side, patted her on the back, and comforted the angry little woman.

Just now he asked Lu Xiangdong for a long time, but Lu Xiangdong kept avoiding him. He talked about him from left to right, and finally changed the topic and asked about the case. He had no way of knowing the reason, but based on his intuition and trust in Lu Xiangdong, he felt that there must be some reason why Lu Xiangdong was inconvenient to speak.

"I said he was stupid, do you think he was wronged?" Lu Xiangdong let out a cold snort from his nose, and glanced at Jiayi: "Three people have already died, and there is a lot of noise outside, what can the wise and mighty Police Officer Cheng gain? Is there any clue? Has the case been solved?!"

"He's not Superman! How can you be so mean!" Jia Yi was enraged by Lu Xiangdong's words: "Cheng Feng hasn't been able to eat or sleep well during this time, and he's been preoccupied with investigating the case. He's already stressed enough , if you are not only sarcastic, if you think you are smarter than him, then tell me where to find the clues and who the murderer is!"

"I'm sure my IQ is higher than your Cheng Feng's, but I'm sorry, there is a division of responsibilities, and you can't push your responsibilities onto others just because you are stupid!" Lu Xiangdong turned his attention to Cheng Feng: "If I were you, I would mobilize my brain cells and analyze the situation clearly. Don't make me feel that I overestimated your intelligence before!"

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but Jia Yi grabbed his arm after only two steps.

"What are you doing?" Lu Xiangdong turned around and stared at Jia Yi's hand holding his arm.

"What's the matter with you? Bixia was injured because he sent me home, and now he's lying in the hospital, don't you have any sympathy? Do you have to think so badly of people?" Jiayi thought Bi Xia's words just now made me feel a little uncomfortable.

"Whatever you say." After hearing her words, Lu Xiangdong immediately changed his face, pulled back his arms forcefully, and strode away without looking back.

The moment he withdrew his hand, Jiayi saw a flash of white flashing in front of his eyes.
