I'm a Villain in Rice

"He just fell into your hands this time."
"Even if it doesn't fall into your hands, it will fall into someone else's hands sooner or later!"
"That's right, right!! He is such a scumbag, he doesn't even know what to think of a girl!" Sonoko was not an idiot, but she was very smart. She quickly echoed Lin Xiu's words and slandered Katsuya Ota. Xiao Lan killed the bad guys herself and contributed to social stability.
She said, "If it wasn't for you, Xiao Lan, maybe his next target would be me..."
Saying so, Sonoko made a frightened expression.
"..." Xiaolan didn't speak, but Lin Xiu's words with Yuanzi made her heart begin to shake.
Originally, she planned to do things alone and take responsibility for herself, and accept legal sanctions, so that she could have a clear conscience.
But she found that surrendering herself would not solve the problem, and would also implicate the people around her, so naturally she would not go back and think about surrendering.
Therefore, deep in her heart, she desperately needed an excuse, a reason, to keep herself from turning herself in.
This reason must be reasonable, moral, and just enough to suppress the injustice of murder!
That's what it's called, rationalizing what's wrong, moralizing what's unjust, and deceiving yourself.
Although it may seem redundant, it is actually very necessary.
Lin Xiu looked at Xiaolan's silent expression, and knew that the explanation he gave was not rational and moral enough.
He continued: "I personally think that if you really feel guilty, Xiaolan, it would be better not to turn yourself in."
"Why do you say that?" Xiaolan's eyes flashed with a look of doubt.
Lin Xiu said: "It's very simple, if you turn yourself in, what will you face?"
"Go to jail." Xiaolan answered this question without thinking.
Lin Xiu nodded in approval, and he continued, "What is the essence of being in prison?"
"This... is punishment? And... make people change their minds?" Xiao Lan thought for a while and gave the answer.
"Yes." Lin Xiu nodded and said, "It's just that I don't think this punishment is reasonable enough."
"Everyone is already dead, even if the murderer is imprisoned, for the family of the deceased, nothing has changed at all... Right?"
Xiaolan's thoughts have been led away by Lin Xiu, she thought for a moment, agreed a little, and said, "Then how do you think the punishment should be?"
Lin Xiu said: "Everyone is dead, what's the point of locking you up? They can only let out a bad breath."
"After they have finished this bad breath, they have to face the various difficulties brought about by reality, perhaps economic problems, or work problems."
"I personally think that since you killed their son, you will naturally have to pay compensation corresponding to the family of the deceased."
"What they lack, make up for them, at least make them a little better."
Xiao Lan's heart was moved, but she couldn't convince herself just because of this. She asked, "What if they don't want money? They don't accept help? What should I do?"
"Heh." Lin Xiu sneered: "It's their business not to accept it!! Just what kind of person is their son?"
"Why don't they take responsibility when their sons go to harm other people's daughters? Beg for forgiveness?"
"Now that my son is dead, so many demands?"
Lin Xiu's words suddenly became sharp, making Xiaolan stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, she thought what was going on!
She didn't kill their son on purpose, if it wasn't for his son to do something to her, she wouldn't fight back!
Although I killed people, I am actually the victim, okay?It should be me who is wronged!
Under the guidance of Lin Xiu, Xiao Lan couldn't help but start to think so, and the guilt in her heart was gradually eliminated.
Lin Xiu saw that Xiaolan hadn't spoken yet, and thought this reason was not enough.
He continued: "And, if you really feel guilty, Xiao Lan, do more good deeds and help more people."
"Instead of being imprisoned in prison and letting your youth go to waste for ten years, you don't allow yourself to help those vulnerable groups as much as possible in these ten years!"
"In this way, even if you go to bed at night and the soul of Ota Sheng comes to you, you can pat your chest and say that although you have killed someone without going to jail, you have achieved a clear conscience!"
The last remarks accurately hit Xiao Lan's heart.
She thinks this is a good practice. Since she has escaped the punishment of the law, she can punish herself and redeem herself!
Thinking of this, Xiaolan felt that she felt much better in her heart.
Xiaolan's expression was finally not so sad and sad, and it was relieved at once.
This made Yuan Zi secretly relieved in his heart, and then looked at Lin Xiu, the look of admiration in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
Just at this moment, there was lightning and thunder outside, and a light illuminated Lin Xiu's profile. In Yuanzi's eyes, he was the most handsome in the world, and she couldn't help but be moved.
Seeing that Xiaolan didn't speak, but her expression was obviously a lot more relaxed, Lin Xiu knew that most of this happened.
It's just that Xiaolan is young and thin-skinned, so she's too embarrassed to say she can't turn herself in.
So, Lin Xiu gave Xiaolan a step down and said, "Whether it works, you go back and think about it."
"Hmm... um." Xiao Lan nodded, accepted the proposal, and left the room with Yuanzi.
There was no refusal on the spot, it was basically an agreement.
This matter is here, and it can be put to an end.
Lin Xiu took a sip from the water glass, moistened his dry throat, and said with a smile, "It's still a young man to convince... If it was Yukiko, I'm afraid she would——"
When I think of Yuxizi, she is a mother, and the world has long passed the stage of black and white after experiencing big and small things.
If it were her, I'm afraid she would be delicate and pretentious, cry for a while, and then agree without any psychological burden.
If it was Concubine Yingri, I am afraid there will be a darker case than this.
Isn't it just guilt?What a big deal.
Lin Xiu thought she would say so, and then calmly agreed.
"Oh, actually, it's a good thing to have guilt." Lin Xiu couldn't help but sigh. To be honest, he had forgotten what guilt felt like, and now he misses it quite a bit.
"Sure enough, this world is still shameless, in order to live unrestrained and unrestrained."
After sighing for a while, Lin Xiu picked up the water glass and wanted to take a few sips, but the glass was already empty.
Lin Xiu felt a little thirsty in his throat, so he got up and went downstairs and poured a glass of water.
At this time, in the living room downstairs, Chikako and Suzuki Ayako were talking about something.
But as soon as he saw Lin Xiu go downstairs, he immediately stopped talking.
Seeing this, everyone with discernment knows that something is wrong.
Chikako Ikeda stood up at this time and went upstairs.
After Lin Xiu greeted her, he went to pour water.
Suzuki Ayako came over and asked gently, "What's wrong? Ryoichi, can't you sleep?"
"No, I'm just thirsty, go downstairs and pour a glass of water." Lin Xiu filled the glass and looked at her: "Do you need me to stay with you?"
"No need, you are working so hard, go up and rest, it's good to have me here... Once there is any movement, I will call you to .. 0" Suzuki Ayako shook her head and declined Lin Xiu's kindness.
Lin Xiu nodded and said as he went upstairs, "Okay, if something goes wrong, just scream and I will come down."
"Okay." Suzuki Ayako let out a sigh of relief as she watched Lin Xiu go upstairs.
She sat in the living room thinking.
After thinking about it, she really couldn't think of a good way. She could only use routines to make the other party recognize her identity.
After coming over for a while, there was a sound of the door opening from upstairs, and I saw Chikako Ikeda coming down again.
But this time, she was very careful when she went downstairs, making almost no sound.
After Zhi Jiazi came to Ayako, she frowned and said, "I said Ayako, what exactly do you want to tell me? Are you so cautious?"
Ayako glanced at the second floor, worried that someone would come out and overhear, so she stood up and said, "There is a very important thing... It is inconvenient to talk about it here."
Having said that, Ayako pointed to the second floor, indicating that the partition wall has ears, and she whispered, "Follow me."
She said, got up and walked towards the back door.
While Chikako felt strange, her professionalism made her even more curious. She wanted to know what Ayako said to her, so she followed.
When she came to the back door, Ayako still walked forward. She took the umbrella, opened the back door, and walked out.
"What is the important thing?" Zhi Jiazi was suspicious, but she still picked up an umbrella and followed.
Ayako held an umbrella and stepped out of the back door in the heavy rain, then stopped.
The rain was so loud that she was not worried that the people in the house could hear it.
"What is the important thing in the end? Can we talk about it now?" Chikako stopped beside Ayako and said extremely confused.
Ayako opened her eyes, no longer smiling, but stared at Chikako Ikeda seriously, and said, "I didn't expect you to be one of the members!!"
"???"
one of the members?
What do you mean?
When Ikeda Chikako listened to it, several questions popped up in her head, and she didn't understand it at all.
but!who is she?
She is a screenwriter!
Storytellers!
Big brains, lots of tricks!
Thinking is very flexible!
In an instant, Chikako Ikeda realized that Ayako Suzuki seemed to have misunderstood something through the simple words of Ayako Suzuki.
This made her heart move, and realized that she could use this misunderstanding to know some secrets of Suzuki Ayako!
After thinking of this, Chikako Ikeda smiled and started to talk, "Why do you think 1.8 has to be me?"
When Suzuki Ayako heard the format of this rhetorical question, she immediately felt that nine out of ten, yes.
She snorted and said lightly, "I heard your conversation with Hongshu!"
"You were not together the whole time at all, and there were times when you were separated in the middle!"
