god of reasoning

Chapter 23 "Unparalleled Love" ([-])
Although I was about to give up on this case, Lin Yun showed great interest and came to me early the next morning, asking me to accompany her to City S for more detailed investigation.

Today she is wearing a blue denim short skirt, a pair of white sneakers, and curly hair with a shawl. It is a perfect combination of lively and quiet.This kind of attire, not to mention in this small town, is absolutely eye-catching even in those big cities. The rate of turning heads along the way is the best proof.How could I refuse the invitation of such a beautiful woman.

When I arrived in City S, according to the division of labor planned on the way, I took the address I learned earlier to find Chen Wangjie, while Lin Yun went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to find her classmates to help understand the latest progress of the case.

I quickly found Chen Wangjie's work unit according to the address, which is a company that produces computer accessories.When I explained my purpose to the person on duty in the mailroom, he told me that Chen Wangjie hadn't come to work for several days.When I asked him about Chen Wangjie's home address, he asked me what was my relationship with Chen Wangjie, because I learned the lesson from last time, this time I didn't show that I was just a good writer of mystery novels, but It was a middle school classmate who pretended to be Chen Wangjie. The other party easily believed me and told me Chen Wangjie's address.

Chen Wangjie's home is in a garden-style community in the outskirts of the nearby city. It was already noon when I arrived there.Standing at the door of Chen Wangjie's house, I didn't have the courage to knock on the door, because we were not familiar with each other, and I took the liberty to come here this time, and I didn't know what to say when we met.After pondering over and over again for a long time, I finally raised my hand and rang the doorbell.

The doorbell echoed on the other side of the gate, then faded away.After a long time, no one responded, so I rang the doorbell again, but still no one responded.

"Isn't he at home? Where did he go?" After ringing the doorbell several times, I finally gave up and turned to leave Chen Wangjie's residence.

The bright sunshine at noon made it hard for me to keep my eyes open. I turned my head and saw the willow trees swaying with the wind.Only then did I realize that this community is indeed just like its name 'Yijing Garden', peaceful, calm, and so close to nature. There are few spacious roads in the community, and instead there are roads shrouded in green shade. Quiet trail.

In this way, I strolled along the path, and unknowingly came to a leisure square. The ground was paved with cement floor tiles, and there was a musical fountain in the middle, and a stream of water, high or low, was dancing with the music.The square is surrounded by a concentric ring-shaped corridor with fountains, and behind it is a landscape-like green belt composed of various lush trees and grass swaying in the wind.

This place is really nice, and for a moment I had an urge to give up Y Town and move here.

"DUDU, bring that ball back to me!" Just as I was thinking wildly, a strange yet familiar voice came from not far away. I quickly searched my memory, and quickly got the result, it was Chen Wangjie the sound of.

I looked towards the source of the sound. It was under a willow tree on the green belt. A man was sitting on the ground with his back against the tree trunk. Chen Wangjie was right.

At this time, the other party also saw me, smiled at me, and beckoned me to go over. I walked over gently and sat beside him.At this time, I saw the dog named DUDU running over with a tennis ball in its mouth, and wagging its tail at Chen Wangjie. its head.

"I guess you will come to me." Chen Wangjie said, throwing the ball in his hand to the distance again, and DUDU flew towards the direction of the ball like an arrow from the string. .

"Oh, why do you think so." I watched DUDU run farther and farther, and asked.

"It's nothing, intuition. And according to your personality, you will definitely come to me too?" Chen Wangjie answered my question lightly.

"My character? Do you know me well?" I asked again.

"Maybe, maybe I don't know, everything is just my speculation."

"how to say?"

"You're a mystery writer, aren't you?"

"En." I nodded slightly.

"Inference is a weak type in the Chinese literary world, and it has been in a trough for a long time in terms of creation, publishing, and readers. There are very few writers who specialize in reasoning creation, and there are very few publishing houses willing to publish local mystery novels. As for The market for readers is even more pitiful. Authors who can persist in reasoning creation should be because they have an extremely persistent love for reasoning." Chen Wangjie looked up at the sky, as if he was not talking to me, It was as if his thoughts had been blown to the horizon by the wind.

"That's true." To be honest, mystery novels are more difficult to write than many other literary themes, but they are the least valued and popular type of literature. Many times I want to give up writing these difficult to sell money At least they can bring me short-term economic benefits, but in the end I gave up these thoughts, and the reason is indeed what Chen Wangjie said because I He has a very persistent love for reasoning.

"So, as a professional reasoning writer, you don't need to say much about your love for reasoning. You have personally experienced such a murder case this time, and you must have thought about relying on your own reasoning to solve the case." At this moment, Chen Wangjie suddenly Turning her head to me, "And I'm your first suspect, right? "

"This... this..." To be honest, I had repeatedly deliberated on the various wordings after meeting Chen Wangjie before, but I obviously didn't think about it when faced with such a confessional question from him.After hesitating for a long time, I really couldn't think of a better answer, so I nodded.

"Hehe, don't be nervous. I'm not angry." Chen Wangjie's attitude was much friendlier than I expected.

"I'm sorry, I did doubt you at first, but..."

"But I have a full alibi, right." I was interrupted by Chen Wangjie just in the middle of my sentence.Facing his rhetorical question, I nodded again.

"Actually, the police came here before you came, and they didn't say anything, but I know their thoughts should be similar to yours." Chen Wangjie said with a wry smile, "Girlfriend was killed, But I became the biggest suspect. Fortunately, I met you and Dr. Lin by accident at that time, and helped me provide an alibi."

"You seem to be in a much better mood now."

"In the past few days, I have kept myself locked in the house, and I have not gone to work. Now I finally figured it out, the deceased has gone, no matter how much I mourn. The only hope now is that the police can find the murderer as soon as possible. Don't let Sa Sa die in vain." When Chen Wangjie said this, he let out a long sigh, "And I had prepared for this ending, but I didn't expect it to come so soon, and it was so horrible."

"What?" I was planning to leave with a few words of comfort to the other party, but I was deeply attracted by Chen Wangjie's last sentence.

"Oh, don't you know yet? I've already told the police about this." Chen Wangjie said, touching the head of DUDU who had come back and was lying next to him at some point, "Sa Sa is actually terminally ill. , even if we hadn’t encountered this incident, we probably wouldn’t survive this year.”

"Ah? What's the disease?" The answer in the dialogue obviously exceeded my expectations.

"It's a malignant tumor..." When Chen Wangjie said this, his eye circles turned red again, as if recalling the past.

Now I can't find the right words to comfort the poor man in front of me.In this way, we sat motionless under the shade of the tree, and neither spoke to each other.
