dear archimedes

Chapter 9 Archimedes' Fairy Tale (9)
The seemingly nonsensical words made Zhen Ai feel a lot of warmth in his heart, and he naturally remembered his inexplicable "pathological analysis" about his fear of the cold that night.

She smiled: "I see."

Going around to the main entrance, a red sports car was parked at the entrance.Zhen Ai felt familiar. Isn't this the first witness Sidney Taylor?
"How did he come?"

Yan Su: "I asked Jasmine to find out the purchase record of the ring."

After entering the door, Taylor sat and waited in the living room, his face was neither bad nor bad, and his eyes were lowered in thought.

Yan Su sat in the chair opposite him, and without opening his mouth, he motioned for Marie to pour water, and then... drank by himself.

The two sat without speaking.

Zhen Ai watched from the side.Taylor and Yan Su are actually about the same age, but have completely different temperaments.

Yan Su was arrogant and desolate, although not as cold as an iceberg, but it also gave people a strong sense of alienation, his eyes were full of Ling Ran's wisdom.

And Taylor is sunny and handsome, with a gentle and bright smile, plus his status as a basketball player, he is the prince charming in the school.

The two were more patient than anyone else, and of course Taylor was defeated first: "I bought her that ring in order to reconcile and win back her heart."

Yan Su rested his arms on the back of the chair, crossed his hands leisurely, and said leisurely, "I know."

Taylor was surprised.

"The ring was bought on the morning of the incident. It was not a holiday, not a birthday, and it was not your anniversary. Don't look at me with a surprised face. On the calendar of the deceased, circle all the important days with red pens and mark them. , the 29th is blank. So the ring is not a commemoration."

Tyler was dumbfounded.

Yan Su said lightly, "I have eyes."

Taylor came back to her senses, her voice showing endless sadness: "Yes. I love her. We were good before, she was simple, cute and caring. I have never loved a woman like this. I don't know why she suddenly changed .”

Yan Su crossed his fingers and tapped the back of his hand, with an impatient expression on his face, as if he was listening to something extremely boring.

The more Taylor said, the more sad she became: "She doesn't have much money, but recently she has so many valuable things, which she said were given by other men. Sometimes when we quarrel, she blames me for only sending flowers and chocolates, and the surprises for her are worthless. I I thought it was my parents’ money, and it’s too impure to use it to express my love. This time I got the first salary of my internship, so I bought her a ring. But she still ignored me.”

After all, she was someone she knew, Zhen Ai was a little moved.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Yan Su said in a nonchalant manner: "Very well, after you finish talking a lot of nonsense, let's get to the point of discussing how you killed her."

Taylor was shocked and almost jumped up from the sofa: "I didn't kill her! How could I kill her!"

Yan Su said with a cold face, "Really? Then why did you pull out the newly worn ring, lest others find out that it is a pair with the one in her stomach?"

Taylor was stunned by this question, and Zhen Ai also felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his words at the moment.

Taylor was shocked: "Stomach? What do you mean?"

Yan Su was unusually aggressive: "The forensic doctor found the ring you gave her in the deceased's stomach. Could you please explain why the ring was swallowed by her, but the ring box disappeared? I believe the jury will be able to answer this question." Very interested."

Taylor's face was pale, and he said in a hurry: "I didn't kill her. I went to her dormitory that day. I had an appointment for dinner but she didn't come, so I went up to find her. She ignored me the first time I went. I put the ring on the table and left; after that, I was unwilling and wanted to make it clear to her face to face, so I returned for the second time. But..."

His lips trembled violently, his eyes were full of horror,

"When I went again... I was very scared. I wanted to call the police but saw the ring box dropped by the door and the ring disappeared. I was afraid that the police would suspect me, so I picked up the box and ran away."

The living room was deathly quiet, Zhen Ai frowned deeply.

She passively participated in the investigation of the case, and could already imagine the tragedy that she missed at that time.She didn't know how he should bear such a tragic and shocking truth.

Ke Yansu's tone became harsher: "Why do you think she ignores you?"

"She used to be like this. Whenever she got angry with me, she locked herself in the bathroom and ignored her no matter how coaxed she was."

"You spent the night in the dead man's dormitory?"

"Yes." Taylor blushed slightly, "She said that her roommates don't live in the dormitory, so sometimes..."

"Okay." Yan Su interrupted, "When I went back for the second time, was there anything else on the ground besides blood?"

"what?"

"It's shiny."

"No."

"You can go." Yan Su yelled at people directly, got up and thought of another sentence: "Oh, by the way, I know you didn't kill her."

Taylor was startled: "What?"

"You don't cooperate very much, you talk too much nonsense, you can't find the point when you answer a question, and there are a lot of twists and turns." Yan Su was very blunt, "Sure enough, it would be easier to scare you."

Taylor's face was ashen with astonishment, and Zhen Ai helplessly supported her forehead.

Yan Su's eyes were cold, and his tone was cold: "I'm sorry, I don't allow any inefficient people to waste my time."

Zhen Ai wanted to remind that this was too blunt, but she didn't say anything, instead she silently brought a glass of water to Taylor, and silently glanced at Yan Su.

In retrospective analysis, her first action was to encourage and appease Taylor; the second action was to protest and dissatisfy herself.He frowned and thought for a while, feeling a little strangely uncomfortable in his heart.

Zhen Ai is cooking lasagne for lunch today.

When it was brought in front of the two of them, Owen looked weird, but he didn't say anything; Yan Su frowned: "What is this big lump of mud?"

"Italian Lasagne."

"Lasagne will commit suicide after listening to your words. Its shape is rectangular and layered. It's not like that..." He stared at the weird thing on the plate, and searched for an adjective for a long time, but finally failed. Pointing to the little lump, "It's like a bunch of colored tomatoes that have been beaten up right now."

Zhen Ai also knew that what she had done was a failure, so she coaxed him: "I tried it, and although it doesn't look good, it tastes good. Just feel wronged."

Yan Su said with a straight face, "Why do you want me to be wronged because of your poor cooking skills?"

"..." Zhen Ai had a little thought of killing this unlucky child, he would die if he didn't speak so straightforwardly.

Owen was very cooperative, took a spoon and put it into his mouth, he was stunned: "It's delicious, SA is really delicious."

"How could it be delicious?" Yan Su looked expressionlessly at a pile of hill-shaped mud on the plate, and then at Owen, "You are a liar."

Zhen Ai walked over, picked up Yan Su's spoon, scooped up a small lump, and brought it to his mouth: "It doesn't look good, but it tastes really good. Just try it, just take one bite."

Yan Su lowered his eyes and stared at the unknown object next to his mouth, silently turned his head away, and said a word very mighty and unyielding: "No."

"Why? Just try it. If I lie to you, I'm a puppy."

He still turned his head: "Your sentence is invalid, and there is no guarantee. Even if you lied to me, you can't change from a primate to a canine. There is no logical liar."

Zhen Ai raised her eyebrows: "How do you know I lied to you?"

Yan Su looked back at her: "Theoretically speaking, your lasagna didn't take into account a series of factors such as the order of cooking time and shape, so it can't be good..."

Zhen Ai directly stuffed the spoonful of lasagna into his mouth, Yan Su froze, blinked her eyes, and said nothing while holding the spoon.

Zhen Ai let go of her hand: "What, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Yan Su savored it carefully, the small lump of fragrant and slippery mud that melted in the mouth was really good.He took another spoonful and put it in his mouth with a strange expression.

Zhen Ai was proud: "Now admit that the lasagna I made is delicious?"

A trace of awkwardness flashed across Yan Su's face, and it disappeared in a flash.

He shook his head, expressionless: "The one you made is not lasagna at all, but lasagna. So, I only admit that the lasagna you made tastes good."

After lunch, Zhen Ai went to the library to find Yan Su.

He was sitting on the sofa, looking at the void, he would be in a daze whenever he had nothing to do, and his mind was running at a high speed with things that outsiders didn't know, Zhen Ai had only known him for a few days, but she was already used to his state.

She asked, "You already know how the prisoner left the crime scene?"

Retrospectively speaking quickly: "Yes."

"That……"

"I want to drink."

Zhen Ai got up to pour water for him, looked at the mobile phone in his hand: "You are waiting for lunch break..."

"Yes." He took the glass in her hand.

Zhen Ai hadn't finished asking, so there was no need to ask.But there was another question in my mind, "Have you found the evidence?"

"Ah."

Zhen Ai was surprised.

At the scene of the crime, apart from the deceased, her boyfriend, and Zhen Ai's daily residual fingerprints and a small amount of hair, there was no other key evidence.There were no fingerprints on the bathroom table or fruit knife in connection with the case.The ground was also wiped off the shoe prints.

Currently, Zhen Ai still can't see who the murderer is.
The second witness Wen Bo and Jiang Xin had a drug dispute?The third witness, Zhao He, went to steal something?Witness No. [-], Yang Zhen, is jealous?
As if feeling her gaze, he turned his head slowly, his eyes behind the light were quiet, and said, "Do you have any opinions on me?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Then why do you keep looking at me?"

"..."

Even though she had looked at him for several seconds just now, Zhen Ai did not blush, but this blunt question made her a little embarrassed.

Zhen Ai was angry at him for speaking directly, and simply said: "Because you are good-looking."

I thought he would be at a loss, and if he was lucky, he might blush, but he blinked blankly and turned his head away: "Then you should take a closer look."

"..."

Yan Su held the phone, his fingers deftly fluttered, and the phone turned extremely fast in his palm.She was dazzled by the sight, but she didn't expect the movement of the mobile phone to stop abruptly, and she came to her in one go.

Zhen Ai was taken aback.With a calm expression on his face, he raised the black phone in his hand: "You're so engrossed in watching it, do you want to play by yourself?"

Zhen Ai hesitated for a moment, and when she was about to take it, he took it back all of a sudden, and smiled faintly: "It never fails."

"try what?"

"You know that you have many synapses, and the nerve reflex arc is long."

"..."

"Too boring." He stood up suddenly, "Do you want to restore the scene?"

Zhen Ai and Jiang Xin's dormitory was still cordoned off, and the furnishings inside were the same as before. The blood stains faded a lot after cleaning, and Jiang Xin's figure when he died was drawn with a white line in the center of the floor.

The desk calendar on the desk always stays in February.Zhen Ai looked at it carefully this time, there was a note written on it, but not on the 2th.

She looked towards the bathroom, thinking that maybe Taylor was standing in this position on the day of the crime, he looked into the quiet bathroom and didn't go in.Once you go out again, it's a farewell.

She turned her head to look at Yan Su: "Taylor must be very sad if he knows that he missed it."

Yan Su quietly thought for a while, and the corners of his lips curled up suddenly.

"Let's play it again." He suddenly took a big step and approached her.

Seeing him approaching imposingly, Zhen Ai hid back reflexively, but couldn't bear the length of his arms, and grabbed her by the shoulders, her eyes dimmed, "You didn't know beforehand that I was here to kill you, why did you hide?" ?”

Zhen Ai was stunned, recovered, and immediately entered Jiang Xin's state: "Well, I opened the door for you, but I don't know what will happen next, so I didn't shout or struggle."

No yelling, no struggle.

Yan Su's face froze slightly, and the words came out of her mouth calmly, with a kind of calm and seductive.

Her face was against the light, illusory and white.He withdrew his thoughts, looked at her deeply, and said in a low voice, "you are beautiful today, where are you going later?"

Zhen Ai's heart skipped a beat, she stared blankly at his handsome features, but then realized that he was talking about Jiang Xin that day.

He is so serious about acting, of course she can't hold back, she lowered her head and turned away casually: "Taylor invited me to dinner, and he bought me an expensive gift!"

Speaking of this, Zhen Ai was taken aback, the murderer was not Taylor.Jiang Xin dressed up and planned to reconcile with him.Taylor would be an idiot to put a ring in her mouth after killing someone.

Yan Su paced over, leaned on the desk, looked at her standing in front of the dressing table, his eyes were lonely, and his words were sad: "So you don't care about me?"

Zhen Ai saw his slumped expression in the mirror, her heart trembled again, her face was cold, she decided to go to the bathroom: "I want to wash my face and put on makeup, you can go."

She turned on the faucet to turn on the water, touched the table with her hands, feeling refreshingly cold.In the mirror, Yan Su approached her from behind, stood still step by step, and pressed against her back, Zhen Ai's feet were cold.

This time, the face of the person in the mirror was cold, and he lowered his head slightly to hypnotize: "You mean we will never see each other again?"
