Ep4 Binding of the Beast

When Leo entered the door, there was no movement in the apartment. "Li Biqing!" He called all the way from the living room to the bedroom and kitchen, but did not find Jasmine's little boyfriend. However, due to his professional sensitivity, he found that some minor changes have taken place in the apartment. The dusty floors have become clean, the cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling have disappeared, and the dirty clothes thrown in the bathroom are washed and dried on the balcony and in the kitchen There was a faint smell of soot ... except for the sojournal Chinese boy, he didn't think anyone would sneak into his apartment to help with housework.

The question is, where did that guy go?

He returned to the porch and was planning to go out to find it. The copper handle clicked and the door opened inward. Li Biqing, dressed in casual clothes, was carrying a large bag of supermarket food at the door.

Leo stood face to face with him, only to find that the other person was taller than he remembered, about 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 meters). He was very shapely and slightly thin, probably because the eastern human body was born naturally more than white. slim. Li Biqing froze a moment when he saw him, and then smiled mildly, "Rio, when did you come back, did you eat?"

Some people joked that the first sentence of the Chinese people must be asking if they have eaten, which seems to be true. Leo couldn't help but smile and stepped back to give way. "Come in. Where's your key?"

Li Biqing pushed the food bag into the kitchen, and said, "In watching American TV shows, your spare keys are usually placed under the mat outside the door, so I went to find it, and it was hidden under a loose floor tile. Right I have always felt incredible. Isn't this a common practice afraid of being discovered by a thief? "

Leo shrugged: "There is an old saying in China that gentlemen are not guards against villains. Good people will not go to your door to pick keys. If a thief intentionally steals your house, even a row of locks will not work. Besides, many people The alarm system is installed in the home, they just don't bother to get the keys, or they often forget to bring them. "

Li Biqing smiled and took the food out of the bag just like the seasoning. "Americans are as famous as their clumsy leaves."

"Leave us some face, Chinese boy." Leo embraced his arms, leaned against the cooking table, and watched with interest his washing carrots and cutting tomatoes. Before that, he had only seen the other side and said only two words. Now talking about the sky is unexpectedly easy and natural. "How did you buy these things? Listen to Jasmine, you do n’t understand English?"

"Some simple words will still be spoken, such as supermarkets, where to buy. People on the street are very enthusiastic. When I enter the supermarket, the shopping guide will help me. Most importantly, I have US dollars and I recognize the Arabs above. Numbers. "He explained carefully.

Leo smiled again. He found that there were more laughs in these ten minutes than in the past five days combined. This innocent looking boy is actually not so innocent, even has a little humor. Maybe we can get along, he thinks, this is obviously much cuter than the first two boyfriends of Jasmine, whom he had beaten hard.

"Will you cook? Chinese food?"

Li Biqing nodded, the knife was flying, and the thin green jade-like celery fell down one by one. "It will be a little home-cooked. Today I plan to make fish-flavored eggplant pot, sweet and sour pork ribs, fried squid with celery, tomato egg soup— —Will you use chopsticks? "

"I can use the chopsticks to hold the soybeans, which my grandmother taught when I was a kid."

"I know you have a part of Chinese descent. It seems that mixed-race children are indeed handsome and pretty girls. I believe that Jasmine and I will be beautiful in the future."

Leo heard him talking about Jasmine, and asked: "When are you planning to get married?"

"The exact time has not been set. I want to go to a language school, take a certificate, find a formal job, and your sister said that she would like to return to the United States to live in the future."

Leo looked at his calm and focused face while talking while slicing, and found that it was difficult to see his inner emotions. Perhaps it was the implicit and restrained national tradition of the Orientals, which led to his failure to detect and appreciate color. However, if you are willing to travel thousands of miles away from your hometown and come to the United States to live with Jasmine, what other reasons are there besides "love each other"?

His smart, beautiful, independent, but always problematic sister, this time finally found a man who looked more reliable. Leo thought with relief.

At dinner, the home-cooked dishes of three dishes and one soup are delicious, at least much better than the outlandish Chinese food in Chinatown restaurants. The two teamed up to wipe out a small pot of rice, vegetables and soup, and Li Biqing consciously gathered up the dishes and washed them. Leo couldn't help but ask him, "When you're with Jasmine, do you do housework?"

Li Biqing nodded. "There is always a man doing housework in our hometown."

"Where is the woman?"

"Shopping, shopping, playing mahjong."

Leo sighed sincerely: "It is conceivable how happy Jasmine's wedding life is."

After dinner, Leo did not return to the office to work overtime. Rather, he sat by his desk in the bedroom and carefully browsed the huge amount of case information in the laptop. The shape of "kill the blue".

Copies of three different-looking simulated portraits, affixed to the wall behind the desk, were his last glance before going to bed, and the first glance when he woke up. They laughed, talked, and wandered in his dreams every night, repeating the hunting over and over again. In the dream, he followed the blurry shadow like an apprentice, speculating every expression, observing every movement, those flesh-and-blade swords were realistically drawn from his own hands, often making him sweat coldly Wake up.

Every case is like this ... How can he let these cold-blooded and cruel murderers, these life-threatening villains get away with impunity? In the case that he dealt with, only after the killer was shot dead or arrested and brought to justice, he could get a truly peaceful sleep.

"Don't force yourself to chase the murderer into the dark, so that you will feel that life is bright and sunny." Old partner Kenneth often said this on the shoulder. He tried this kind advice, but couldn't do it.

Darkness enveloped the murderers and shielded them coldly. How could they dispel the fog and reveal the truth behind the blood if they were not in the dark?

Leo closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened it again, his eyes were full of indestructible hardness.

After more than three hours, maybe longer, he felt that his mind was beginning to chaos, and he needed a refreshing drink. Although there was an old-fashioned coffee machine in the rented apartment, he couldn't squeeze out the time to cook, so he had to drink instant bags. Although sweet, it was better than the free coffee provided by the public.

Closing the laptop, he rubbed his face with the palm of his hand, and got up and walked out of the bedroom. The wall clock on the wall shows that it is late at night, the lamp on the round table in the living room is still on, and a curled-up figure is trapped in the shadow of the sofa. This made Leo nervous professionally. He conditioned to touch the back waist, and then reacted. Now there is already a tenant in the apartment.

"Haven't slept yet?" Leo greeted and walked over.

Li Biqing wore sky blue tops and off-white trousers. She was barefoot, curled her legs on the sofa, and opened a thick notebook pad on her knee. She held a pencil in her right hand and raised her eyes. At his time, the rubber tip at the end of the pen was still biting in his mouth. "No ... write something." He seemed to realize that his movement was a bit childish, and quickly pulled out the pen, clipped into the page that was opened, and closed the book.

Leo went to the kitchen and made a cup of instant coffee, then leaned his head out again and asked him, "Would you like coffee?"

"No, thank you, I made black tea."

"Chinese black tea?"

"Jingshan Xiaotong Tongmuguan, would you like to try?"

"Okay. Coffee doesn't seem to have worked for me lately."

Li Biqing leaned over and climbed the arm of the sofa to reach the tea table by the round table, seemingly too lazy to stretch out his feet.

Leo thinks he looks like a cat lying on the sofa, showing a casual cozy, reminiscent of a burning fireplace in the winter night, fluffy pillows after the sun, mint tea in the afternoon and Blueberry cookies ... and so on, it's a kind of warmth and warmth full of family taste.

Maybe that's what Jasmine fell in love with, Leo thought.

As he sat on the other end of the sofa with a black tea cup, he found books on the coffee table. He flipped through it. The book was in Chinese. Most of the characters were unknown, but the cover was familiar. After careful examination, he believed that he had read the English version of them.

"The whisper in front of the bed", "Broken Wings", "Dead Butterfly" and "End Wings" trilogy? Roy Lee's masterpiece, it turns out that you are a suspense detective novel lover. You know, I like this guy quite, he Not only a best-selling author, but also a self-taught criminal psychologist, these works and "The Complete Works of Hitchcock", "The Silent Lamb" and "Human Bone Puzzle" are among the office readings recommended above. . "

"Office reading? You guys really have a strong taste on it." Li Biqing opened his eyes and looked at him.

Leo smiled and didn't explain much. Instead, he asked: "I haven't figured it out. Maybe you can give a correct understanding. In" Whisper Before The Bed ", the real murderer is The elder brother of the twins or the dual personality of the younger brother? "

Li Biqing replied without hesitation: "None. There is no dual personality at all. He also fabricated the so-called elder brother. He poured sugar into the fuel tank of the neighbor's car, hanged their dog, and killed the male neighbor with golf. , Dismembering the female neighbor and burying her head under the window sill and letting her watch the scene where the little daughter was raped / violent ... everything was done by himself. From the beginning, he planned to create the illusion of twins, and he was perfect. The land plays two roles, making people think they are cohabiting brothers, and even tampering with the hospital's birth records. The neighbors saw their brothers eating at the same table from the window, but in fact they could only see one of them in front, and the other back was A tailor-made inflatable puppet. After the murder was exposed, he forged his brother's guilty absconder, and finally tricked the jury to escape the legal sanctions. "

"But what happened to my brother in the end?"

"Have you heard the old saying: Suspiciousness creates secret ghosts. Something that is ethereal and ethereal. If you believe in its existence, maybe it will come true someday, because you will try to make it come true. Twin brothers created with lies He deceived others, and finally hypnotized himself, and gave birth to a ghost in his heart-a ghost standing at the bed every day at night whispering and showing off his crime. "

Leo thought and nodded in agreement. "He escaped the legal sanctions by using clever deception, but he couldn't escape the inner ghost. A person who began to distinguish between reality and fantasy was not far from madness."

"Crazy means self-destruction." Li Biqing added.

"As you say this, I finally don't have to worry about the guy who was not brought to justice." Leo exhaled. "You don't know how much I hate the murderer's escape in movies and novels, the bridge where the police can't do anything. Paragraph, typical misleading public! "

Li Biqing laughed: "It feels like the three views are broken, right? The audience loves this set, because everyone has a beast bound by morals and law hidden in their hearts. How to find a balance between humanity and **** Is a topic that runs through everyone's life. "

Then "kill the youth", what cut off the moral and legal chains in his heart, and released the beast that was chosen by others?

Relying on the endless stream of American heroes in film and television, what Spider-Man, Batman, and Green Arrow, many people think that the killing motive of "killing the blue" is a distorted sense of justice, which makes him keen to play the role of "social police". With serial killers as the fixed target, the social harm is also much less than that of ordinary murderers. But Leo scoffed at it.

He prefers that the criminal motive of "killing youth" comes from the stress response after psychological damage-this guy was a victim of violence and homicide, which may originate from his childhood, choosing serial killers as the starting target. The actual It is a kind of revenge. This kind of mentality can still be targeted in the early days, but with the passage of time, the psychological satisfaction brought by each killing gradually superimposed, and he will soon be unable to hold back the wild beast that is more and more difficult to tame, and finally in the blood and killing Totally crazy!

Madness means self-destruction, but he must not wait until then to catch him, and the people will pay a heavy price for it!

Maybe I should go back along the time axis. BAU presumes that the "killing youth" is between 20 and 28 years old. I have to investigate from the serial blood cases in the states more than 20 years ago ... Leo was lost in thought. .

When he returned, he didn't know how long, the porcelain pot full of hot tea was already cold. He got up and rubbed his stiff shoulders, and found that Li Biqing was still lying on the sofa with her head down, and could not help urging without a stand: "Don't go to sleep? It's almost three o'clock, and often staying up late is bad for your health."

The other party remained motionless without any response.

Leo took a closer look, and he actually fell asleep with his arms and knees curled down, the lustrous chestnut hair under the lamp dropped down, covering his eyes gently, his nose long and quiet.

Fetal sleep posture is one of the signs of insecurity. Leo remembered what some psychologists were saying, and suddenly, somewhere in the corner of her heart gave birth to an inexplicable softness. He bent and hugged Li Biqing like a sleeping child, letting the other's head rest comfortably in his arms, walked into the guest's bedroom, placed him gently on the bed, and covered the quilt.

The unsuspecting Oriental boy slept very deep, Leo sat at the bed and looked at him, a glimmer of envy glanced under his eyes. Back in his bedroom, he also tiredly lay on the bed. For the first time in many days, without looking at the simulated portrait on the wall before going to bed, he turned off the lights and went to sleep.

After half an hour, Leo yanked open the quilt, strode barefoot to the bathroom, and found a small, unlabeled white pill bottle from the medicine cabinet. Hesitating for a moment, shaken out two oval pill plugs Swallowed in your mouth, then returned to bed.

With the help of the drug, an undisturbed, completely dark sleep finally came to him, and he fell asleep slowly.
