No.14 Disciple: Death Puzzle

Chapter 104 The Abyss
Zhuo Qingshan pretended to look at the photo on the wall, and tried her best to hold back her tears. When her eyes accidentally caught sight of Guo Junfeng's photo, she felt another burst of heartache.

An Youlin's single-line phone rang again, and it was Luo Gang calling.I don't know if it's a bad signal, or Luo Gang is in the rain, but there is a thumping sound coming from the phone.

Luo Gang explained the results of Liu Yunhui's investigation. He speculated that after Yu Zhaodi replaced Li Miao's identity, he did not use this identity for a long time, but immediately went to the police station where Li Miao's registered permanent residence was located to apply for a name change.

"During high school, Yu Zhaodi and Li Miao lived in the same dormitory. Both of them were orphans with relatively withdrawn personalities, so no one else paid much attention to them. Yu Zhaodi knew Li Miao very well. She pretended to be Li Miao and provided the prerequisites. When Li Miao was burned to death in a car accident, Yu Zhaodi replaced Li Miao and changed her name..."

An Youlin on the phone said calmly: "After changing the name, the murderer Yu Zhaodi took the changed name and identity certificate to report to Xijing Medical University. So in the student list of that class , and there is no Li Miao’s name.”

"That's right," Luo Gang replied, "I suspect that the admission list was destroyed by the murderer, Yu Zhaodi, to make it look like it was ruined."

Luo Gang on the phone took a few breaths and continued: "Just now I found out that Li Miao's household registration was in Liulianshan Town, a subsidiary of Guangsha City. Now I'm going to the local police station to investigate Li Miao's name change records. As long as I can Find out the name Li Miao later used, and the murderer will have nowhere to hide!" Hearing this news, Zhuo Qingshan was excited, and after walking in the footsteps of the murderer for so many days, she was finally able to track down the person directly related to the murderer. The clue is gone.But looking at An Youlin again, he didn't show any more excitement or concern. Seeing that the anonymous user didn't reply, he watched the copied surveillance video again.

An Youlin didn't mean to wait for Luo Gang's investigation results, he stared carefully at Guo Junfeng on the screen.Zhuo Qingshan took a closer look. It was still the surveillance video of Guo Junfeng pretending to answer the phone and leave.

"The identity of the murderer is about to be investigated, why don't you feel a little bit relieved?" Zhuo Qingshan was at a loss for words.

"Luo Gang just went to investigate. The data of the township police station is kept..." An Youlin stared at the constantly replayed surveillance clips, shaking his head slightly, "Tsk tsk tsk, it's not as good as I imagined."

Zhuo Qingshan finally couldn't bear it anymore, she glanced at the pinhole on An Youlin's left arm: "To be honest, have you ever thought that this case might be related to the Viking Square case five years ago?"

The subtle scar on An Youlin's right eyebrow, which was hardly noticeable, trembled slightly.

"I only believe in clues and evidence. The current clues don't really point to the case back then, so there's no need to use it at all..."

"Is there no clues and evidence, or are you deliberately avoiding the Viking Plaza case?" Zhuo Qingshan's tone changed, "You don't even want to mention the Viking Plaza case, do you?"

An Youlin was stunned, his attention was no longer on the surveillance video, his eyes were loose, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Haven't you noticed a change in yourself?"

Zhuo Qingshan pressed her every step, she was not sure that she could persuade An Youlin after he spoke.

"Are you avoiding the Viking Plaza case back then? I know what happened in that case, and I am also an insider of the Viking Plaza case. I know that you lost a lot in that case..."

"You don't know!" An Youlin finally interrupted Zhuo Qingshan, "The case back then was not what you imagined, would Old Li really tell you everything because of a little wine? What's more, I'm afraid He's not really an insider either."

An Youlin's cold tone made Zhuo Qingshan feel desperate. Ever since she was ordered to assist An Youlin in his investigation, An Youlin has always been so wise and humorous. He has never been so unapproachable as he is now. "Do you still remember that the two of us went to the Normal University to rescue Sun Haiyi? You are willing to give Feng Xiaojie a second chance and let him start again, do you remember?" An Youlin was not moved.

"Why is the you I see now completely different from the you at that time? At the beginning you were willing to give up certain principles and let those who went on the wrong path start over. But when you saw Yin Liang this morning, your attitude was very cold-blooded." Zhuo Qingshan shook her head helplessly, "I understand the current situation. I know that the real culprit is not Yin Liang, but I still let him suffer as a scapegoat temporarily. This is a helpless way..."

"That's just to satisfy him, to satisfy his fantasies of revenge for Tang Ning. Maybe this is his only chance to realize his short-lived dream, let Tang Ning face him..."

"What about Feng Xiaojie?" Zhuo Qingshan immediately asked, "What's the difference between Yin Liang and Feng Xiaojie? Both of them are blinded by their emotions, doing what they think is right. Feng Xiaojie has even stepped out of the wrong path." One step, he almost killed Sun Haiyi! But what about Yin Liang? He suffered so much for Tang Ning, and he didn’t kill anyone! I know it’s helpless to temporarily detain him, but do you know what you’re missing when you treat Yin Liang? ?”

An Youlin's brows gradually relaxed, but his face was still cold and expressionless. This was the last thing Zhuo Qingshan wanted to see - An Youlin was indifferent to her words, and his indifferent attitude chilled his bones.

"Mercy! You were willing to give Feng Xiaojie who had gone the wrong way a second chance, and let him start over when he made a mistake, but you refused to show any mercy to Yin Liang, who did not commit any crimes!"

An Youlin still didn't say a word. "It's still because of the Weijin Plaza case, right? You are willing to give Feng Xiaojie a second chance because you want to forgive those irreparable mistakes. Your cold-blooded treatment of Yin Liang is actually because of your self-blame. In the Viking Plaza case you had..."

Before Zhuo Qingshan finished speaking, An Youlin turned to look at Zhuo Qingshan calmly: "You think too much. Everyone's situation is different, the situation is different, and the way of dealing with them and the attitude towards them are naturally different. different."

Zhuo Qingshan didn't want to listen to An Youlin's explanation, she knew very well that An Youlin had the ability to easily persuade others.

"You suspected that the serial murder case was related to the Viking Plaza case, but you didn't want to admit it, and you didn't even want to tell me what flashed through your mind! But some worries can't be concealed, Viking Plaza The case has had such an impact on you that you can't hide it at all." Zhuo Qingshan just wanted to spit it out, "You were even more cautious after Junfeng was killed. When you found out that Junfeng even investigated the Weijin Plaza case, you Be more cautious, your unintentional reminders to Team Luo are actually your self-torture, constantly denying the doubts in your heart!"

"Zhuo Qingshan! Stop thinking about it, you just need to remember that our only purpose now is to find the real culprit! Other things are irrelevant!"

Ever since he met Zhuo Qingshan, An Youlin only called her Xiao Zhuo, and this was the first time he called her by her full name.Zhuo Qingshan frowned and approached An Youlin, two lines of tears fell down.

"It doesn't matter? Is it really not important? Dare to let me see you silently enduring the torment caused by the pain of the year?"

Zhuo Qingshan pulled An Youlin's left arm, and her fingers just touched the pinhole on the arm, and she couldn't help but feel sore.

"Is this irrelevant? How long do you want to numb yourself? Let... that kind of thing make yourself forget the pain and blame yourself?"

An Youlin lowered his head and slowly withdrew his arms. He sighed, "It's not what you imagined. You don't need to worry about this matter."

"I've seen needles and needles in the bathroom before!" Zhuo Qingshan cried, "I'm a policeman, and I know the consequences of being contaminated with this thing!..."

An Youlin shook his head and sighed.

"Maybe I'm an idiot. Ever since I assisted you in your investigation, I've been just a female bodyguard who can fight. I can't help you at all." Zhuo Qingshan sobbed, "But I still can't help but want to dissuade you , I don’t want you to blame yourself and suffer. Because I am not a competent policeman, and I fell in love with someone I shouldn’t love when I was working..."

There is no shyness of confession, only painful despair.Zhuo Qingshan, who had fantasized about love countless times, never imagined that while she was confessing from the bottom of her heart, the idea of ​​parting would spontaneously arise in her heart.

"I still can't distinguish between public and private. I hope to solve the case as soon as possible, but I don't want to use drugs to suppress pain and self-blame to catch the real culprit." Zhuo Qingshan turned and walked to the door of the room, " I can't watch you walk into the abyss, I can't..."

Zhuo Qingshan walked towards the door. She hoped that An Youlin would show even a little insincere remorse, and admit that she was contaminated by something she shouldn't be contaminated by a moment of confusion.But An Youlin just clenched his fist and didn't make any extra movements.

"You know you showed disgust when you saw Yin Liang earlier today. You hate a man who is infatuated, a man who is so painful for love, right? Is it because you saw in Yin Liang Your own shadow? Did you ever have a woman you loved deeply?"

Zhuo Qingshan recalled the night of drunkenness, An Youlin's voice flashed in her chaotic mind, she vaguely remembered those two words - "Butterfly! After she left you, the butterfly never came again..."

Hearing Zhuo Qingshan's words, An Youlin's clenched fist gradually loosened, and he clenched his teeth and closed his eyes.An Youlin only heard Zhuo Qingshan's hurried footsteps and the sound of the door closing after she left...
