Chapter 78 Love Fantasy (8)
"The person who can design this game has extremely high IQ, control, and management skills. If he executes this killing, there will be no accidents. Su Qi performed perfectly in the abuse and killing of women, but she had an accident , Mr. Writer."

Everyone was silent, Yan Su's point of view was too unbelievable for everyone to fully believe.Only Reed's mind was spinning fast, keeping up with the rhythm of the words: "The mysterious person who designed this game taught Su Qi all the steps like a teacher. Su Qi implemented it step by step according to the lessons learned from the 'teacher'. tortured and killed these people."

"Yes." Yan Su continued, "Because she is an obedient student and copied all the content taught by the teacher, so she has almost no connection with our portrait."

After hearing this, Lopez frowned suspiciously: "SA, you mean that we met someone who is extremely smart, extremely perverted, and may never be caught."

"I admire Mr. Yan's brain for such a clever and perverted idea." Rice's tone was weird, "It seems that you and that person have exactly the same idea in their mind."

Yan Su ignored what Rice meant: "Now we must find Su Qi immediately, only through her can we find the mysterious person behind her."

Rice didn't let go: "The mysterious person sitting behind the scenes giving instructions but not doing anything? Mr. Yan, can you explain why such a powerful agent Su Qi obediently listens to the mysterious person and does these things?"

Yan Su was silent for a second: "I can guess, but I can't say."

Les snorted coldly.

Zhen Ai didn't know why Yan Su refused to say it, but she guessed that he was being stupid again, thinking that there were some things he couldn't say, so it didn't matter if everyone doubted him even more.She lowered her head, feeling a little hurt in her heart.

After everyone discussed for a while, there was no final conclusion.Yan Su said something happened, so he took Zhen Ai and left first.

Les watched him leave and narrowed his eyes: "Don't you realize that our analysis has been led away by him?"

The others were silent and didn't make a sound.

Rice said: "He said that the mysterious man and the 'murderer' Su Qi are teachers and students. But do you remember how Mr. Yan introduced the lady next to him when he first came here? He said that she is his student."

At three o'clock in the morning, Zhen Ai finished her work, tidied up her experimental equipment, and prepared to rest in the laboratory as usual.She took off her white coat and fumbled in her pocket, where the key Yan Su gave her lay cool.

The key to his house seemed to give her a magical sense of belonging. She pinched the small iron piece and thought for a while, then put on her coat and went out.

I want to go back to Yansu's castle, so that I can have breakfast with him tomorrow morning.

Zhen Ai came out from the ground and walked through this abandoned community in the forest.

Under the moonlight, the dilapidated buildings glowed with a gloomy white light, which was a bit scary.She has long been used to it.

She walked in the forest with deep fallen leaves and looked up at the sky. The starry sky in summer was very bright, like a quiet and lofty dream.The early morning wind was also cool, and there was still a car parked next to her car beside the dark trees in front of her.

It's Owen.She told him that she would work until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so that he didn't have to watch.Going out now is a temporary idea, I didn't expect him to wait outside all the time.Zhen Ai felt a little guilty, ran to the side of the car, knocked on the glass: "Owen."

The car window was down, and Owen's face was quiet, showing no signs of fatigue.

She bent over: "Didn't I tell you not to guard me?"

Owen smiled: "Look, don't you suddenly want to go out?"

"To the castle?" he asked.

Zhen Ai blushed slightly, lowered her head and said "um", stroked her hair and walked to the co-pilot.

The two of them didn't talk along the way.

Unknowingly, Owen's words became less and less day by day.She was the one who was silent before, but now she is cheerful, but he doesn't speak anymore, it's like the two of them have lost sight of each other.As the car drove away from the forest and onto the highway in the dark, Zhen Ai had nothing to say: "Did Su Qi get caught?"

"No." It's not Irving's job, but he's paying attention.

Zhen Ai let out a sigh: "The incident happened in less than two days, not so fast."

Owen looked at the light cast by the headlights, squinting slightly: "She has been an agent for ten years, and she knows the CIA's way of doing things best. It won't be so easy to get caught."

"Owen, based on your experience, will Su Qi continue to kill people?"

"Usually, yes." He saw her frowning in the rearview mirror, "Ai, are you worried?"

"No."

"Worried about SA? He'll be fine, someone is watching over him."

Zhen Ai was taken aback, guard?Yan Su was under surveillance. "Are they suspicious of SA?"

"I don't know," Owen said. "Whether you suspect it or not, SA cannot be behind the murder. This is a country that speaks evidence, so you don't have to worry."

Indeed, doubt says nothing.Zhen Ai remembered Zhao He's case back then, and felt more at ease, and looked at Owen's resolute and steady profile, always upright and loyal, no matter to her or to this country.

She turned her head to look at the black field outside the window, and said nothing.

Half an hour later, I arrived at the castle, where the night lights were dimly lit.

There is a street lamp in front of the door, and small summer mosquitoes are flying in the beam.

Owen sent her to the door, she took out the key of Yan Su's house from her pocket to open the door in embarrassment, he didn't say anything, Zhen Ai was a little embarrassed, and invited: "Owen, it's too late, do you live here?" In other words, the hostess' attitude is more obvious.

Owen declined, saying that he would be relieved to send it here.

She entered the house and looked around before closing the door. She couldn't see that someone was watching, maybe she couldn't see it.

Zhen Ai went up to the second floor lightly, and Isaac buried her little head in a feather and fell asleep. She smiled slightly and walked along the long corridor to Yansu's room.I thought about how he was sleeping peacefully, but halfway I saw the lights on in the study on the second floor.

Haven't slept yet?Zhen Ai went over and gently opened the study door, wanting to peek at him, but unexpectedly there was no one there.

There are 5 photos on the desk, which are the extinguished candle, the hourglass on the wooden frame, the withered iris, the four-color globe, and the leftover red wine.

Zhen Ai recalled what Su Qi said, the family of the kindergarten teacher and the writer found the hourglass and the globe that did not belong to them, it seems that these other things were left in other victims' homes.

After picking up the photo, the study door was pushed open.

The next second, Yan Su appeared at the door, wrapped in a nightgown, carrying a tray with a small plate of sandwiches, a cup of oatmeal, and a small bowl of fruit.It turned out to be for supper.

After going back and forth, there was another Zhen Ai in the study, Yan Su smiled: "Aren't you tired coming here so late?"

Zhen Ai shook her head, feeling for the key of Yan Su's house in her pocket, feeling very energetic in her heart.He handed it to her when he left the police station the day before yesterday.That way, she wouldn't have to have Marie to answer the door anytime she entered his house.

Just like at this moment, in the middle of the night, she came whenever she wanted, like returning to her own home.

In the early morning night, the lights in the study room are warm and bright.

"You have time today and don't have to work?" He put the plate on the desk.

"No, I'll leave in the morning." After Zhen Ai finished speaking, she felt a little embarrassed, but it was dawn in a few hours, and she even came to see him specially, really...

Yan Su went around behind the table and pulled her to sit on his lap.Zhen Ai had never been hugged by him before, she felt like a child being hugged.She was a little shy, but felt more intimate, and leaned into his arms.

With this leaning, he inadvertently rubbed off his nightgown, and the skin of his arm was pressed against his bare and slightly hot chest.Her heart was trembling slightly, but she pretended not to notice, turned her face away and pointed to the photo on the table: "Why are you still looking at this, does it have other meanings?"

Yan Su put his arms around her waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder: "It might be the serial number."

"Serial number?" She became interested and picked up the photo.

The sequence is arranged.Su Yan stretched his hands, took the oatmeal, put a spoonful of it to her mouth, she swallowed it, and muttered, "Could the candle be the number 1?"

Yan Su said: "I also think it is 1."

Zhen Ai raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Really? The rest, um, there are two pieces of the hourglass, which is 2; 3 petals of the dry iris flower; the 4-color theorem used by the globe; red wine..."

He handed the blueberry to her mouth: "It's 5 milliliters by visual inspection."

Zhen Ai opened her mouth and bit her teeth, and the tip of her teeth lightly brushed against his fingers: "Will there be 6, 7, 8, 9 next?"

Yan Su didn't answer, he glanced down at the pipa and nautilus in the drawer, and closed the drawer quietly.

Ai, no, the last one is the number 7.Everything, he has understood.

The Dutch painter Umatis Naijou once painted a vanity still life painting without a name, and everyone used to call it: Pipa and Nautilus.There are not only lutes and nautiluses in the painting, but also hourglasses, globes, red wine, candles, dried flowers, skeletons...

The interesting thing about vanity still life paintings is that each object has a specific meaning, most of which represent the passing of time, the emptiness of life, and the arrival of death.

The pipa Yan Su received means: die young.A small plus sign is engraved on the back, which is not a symbol, but an ancient Chinese counting method, the number 7.He had expected that he was the target of the mysterious person.When he saw the hourglass and globe in the photos provided by Su Qi, he knew the seriousness of the matter.

As for Zhen Ai's nautilus, it represents rare perfection and eternity.

7 is the perfection of the unity of man and nature in religion, and the cross is a sacrificial ceremony.The five deceased who died before were all sacrifices.Yan Su is the seventh sacrifice in this case.

Kill him, and the mysterious man will welcome back the Nautilus, which represents perfection and eternity in his heart.

Everything is to get Zhen Ai, to get the perfection and eternity in his heart.

Who is the sixth person who will die?

Yan Su lowered his eyes, feeling that a big battle was coming, but no matter what, he would protect her and never let go.

Zhen Ai Anxin ate the cherries, thinking of Owen's words, wondered if Yan Su had noticed that someone was watching him.

"SA, Les and the others are suspicious of you." She put her arms around his neck and buried her head in his neck, "Do you feel wronged and sad?"

"No." He was a little dazed, laughing at her sudden childishness, "Ai, I'm fine. Besides, Police Officer Rice's suspicion is necessary and justified. In their job, you can't act emotionally. When other people believe me, he Doubt me based on objective clues, which I consider to be rigor and integrity."

Zhen Ai didn't speak, I have never seen a man like him.He was relieved that others suspected him of being a sexually perverted serial killer and a sadist.Fool!She was not worried that he would be arrested because of this, but worried about his reputation and mood.But now it seems that she is really worrying unnecessarily. He is so open-minded, why would he care?
Yan Su remembered the business and asked, "How long are you going to work today?" Glancing at the alarm clock on the table, "It's 4 in the morning, the next time I see you won't be tomorrow morning, will it?"

Zhen Ai shook her head: "I don't know. Is there something wrong?"

"I want to have dinner with you." His voice softened, making her ears warm.We've been doing various things with each other recently, and it's been a long time since we had a good dinner together.

She nodded: "Well, good."

Yan Su glanced at her, the little red cherry stuck to her lips, it was indescribably charming.He hugged her tightly and smiled slightly, life should be like this.Don't worry about gains and losses, just cherish the present.

Without any prelude, he suddenly asked: "Ai, do you want to have sex with me?"

Zhen Ai made a stalk, and swallowed a big cherry directly.

The subject changed too much... She turned her head and looked at him in surprise.

The English that Yan Su just said is not ambiguous make love, not ordinary have sex, not ordinary do, not colloquial hook, not vulgar fuck, nor obscene take, but used Very academic intercourse sex.It really fits his style.

He put his hand on her leg, rubbed his thumb lightly, and reminded: "Ai, in the interval of your reaction, the light has escaped from us out of the solar system."

Zhen Ai put down the small glass bowl and looked away: "Why do you ask so suddenly?"

Yan Su is very sincere: "Our spirits are already highly integrated with each other, why don't our bodies be closely integrated and keep up with the rhythm of our spirits?" Not professional or academic.

Zhen Ai blinked her eyes, and actually felt that what he said was quite reasonable.She reacted for a few more seconds before dispelling the feeling of washing up in a daze and crawling on his bed to lie down.

She lowered her head and pinched her fingers: "It's fine if you want it or not. I don't know."

"I used to be sexually alienated, but I've done serious research recently, and the science shows that moderate sex can improve your mood, improve your health, adjust your state of mind, and improve your reaction speed," he added, " You need these."

Zhen Ai was ashamed: "Your spirit of sacrificing yourself to serve me is really great."

"That's not my point. The point is that if sex has so many benefits, why don't we enjoy it?"

Zhen Ai: "..." Mr. Ascetic Logician, is it really appropriate for you to say this?

Perhaps in order to express the meaning of universal celebration, he did not know how to turn his mind, and came up with an ungrammatical enjoy happy sentence.Not only enjoy, but also happily.

"SA, your word expression is wrong, enjoy means happy. You repeated."

Yan Su was in a daze, but she was mistaken.But his mind turned very fast: "It's two people, of course we need double happiness."

This man is really...

Zhen Ai wanted to tease him, so she pursed her lips and smiled: "But I think we should transcend ordinary desires. I don't care about physical enjoyment and pleasure, and communicating with you spiritually, I think it is enough joy and shock."

After hearing her finish, Yan Su was stunned for a few seconds, then said "oh" for a while, and after a few seconds, nodded his head as if he had realized something, his face was as clean as if he had been saved.He hugged her tightly: "Ai, I respect your idea. PS I like you so much."

This hug comes from the heart, this sentence has nothing to do with lust.

Zhen Ai was shocked again, but after the shock, she was left in a daze for a long time.

She just said casually, he really failed?
Now she figured it out.He loves her heart far more than her body. She seems to have proposed a model of spiritual love just now, but he accepts it with pleasure.

Would he really talk to her about a lifetime of spiritual love, and never want to touch her again?
What's the matter with this feeling of helplessness and frustration?She can't jump on her own initiative!
Zhen Ai leaned softly in his arms and closed her eyes sadly.

Zhen Ai nestled in Yan Su's bed and embrace, and slept peacefully for three hours.Woke up with him in the morning and had breakfast together as he wished.

He fried eggs, she toasted bread, he made sandwiches, she heated milk.

Breakfast was spent in a gentle atmosphere, after giving each other a good morning kiss, Zhen Ai went out.

Yan Su sent her to the door, and Marie was receiving the courier with Yan Su's signature. The courier moved things into the house, a dozen huge rectangular boxes.

Zhen Ai was surprised: "What?"

Yan Su didn't change his expression: "The bookshelves need to be replaced in the room on the third floor."

Zhen Ai didn't think much about it, she tiptoed to peck him on the cheek again, and went out.

After leaving the castle and walking down the hill, Zhen Ai got into Owen's car, took out a crisper box containing sandwiches and fruits from her bag, and gave it to him.Owen took it and said thank you.Different from the usual shy and cautious, this time he ate while driving, he was really hungry.

Zhen Ai whispered: "Owen, I will come back at six o'clock tonight. During this period, I will not run around. You can go back to rest first, and I promise not to come out halfway."

"Well, I know." He answered briefly, but obviously he would not listen to her.

But when he was about to arrive at the destination, Owen received a call. According to his answer, he probably had something to ask him from above, but he insisted that at least two agents should come to take over before leaving.

Zhen Ai frowned as she listened, wondering if it was a misunderstanding, Owen seemed a lot more nervous these days than before.

But she didn't ask, and left Owen to wait for the handover, and went to the laboratory first.

At 1 p.m., Yan Su basically arranged the rooms on the third floor, all in pure white.
