"Then you stopped contacting each other?" Mo Yunwan couldn't believe it, and even wanted to expel Lu Yao from the "shameless" ranks. To have such a big reaction over such a small thing, and to alienate a very close friend of his, is really something that even Mo Yunwan finds puzzling.
Of course, she doesn't actually have any close friends. At least in her own opinion, they are just acquaintances at most - which is actually quite surprising by such standards.
Lu Yao was dejected.
Of course, this is not a breakup caused by elementary school students just because of one sentence, but a gradual process. After receiving a huge shock, Lu Yao took the car back home in despair. Later, he would think of this embarrassing scene every time he was dragged to play games.
She didn't really like a single game too much. She played a lot during that period because she wanted to help Yu Xuanyi and other teammates "chasing stars in disguise". It turned out that she had reported to Yu Xuanyi that she might be a star after the game. Play some recently released new console games - those parts that you have to give up in order to practice the pain.
Yu Xuanyi also expressed her understanding a long time ago, so in the days after the competition, she kindly did not call Lu Yao during the lineup. However, a week later, the team happened to be short of a top laner. Yu Xuanyi figured that the days were about the same, so he called her up again.
But it can't last long.
Relationships on the Internet are always illusory. If a person cannot be contacted once, he will be unable to be contacted a second time. As time goes by, there is rarely any contact again. First, Lu Yao gradually only came online when called, and then Yu Xuanyi's studies and life suddenly became busy. The two of them were superimposed, and the contact between the two decreased to no longer.
There is no overly exciting scene - perhaps the most colorful thing is the fluctuations in Lu Yao's inner world, which is as colorful as a palette.
Until now the reunion.
Just thinking back, Lu Yao still vaguely felt that this development of events was not natural. Maybe she really had an alienated attitude involuntarily because of the shock of having deceived a friend and being exposed outright - but exactly what it was, even she couldn't tell clearly.
If you keep cutting and sorting things out, it will still become messy. Maybe there is no need to make some things too clear.
"Then why do you think that Yu Xuanyi is not Liming?"
Liang An asked the most important question.
As a police officer, Lu Yao never really had such suspicions from beginning to end, but he did not show any impulses accompanying sentimental emotions, but he also did not provide all the results truthfully as usual. In other words, she had a steelyard in her mind to convince herself of this conclusion, but the "standard weight" for reaching this conclusion could not be easily explained to others - according to the previous inference, it was unreliable evidence.
"What the boss said is right. I'm not completely sure, but I'm very confident... How should I put it..." Lu Yao was struggling with the way of expression, so he frowned, "I discussed it with Yu Xuanyi at that time. Related incidents. She didn’t know that I was a police academy student, but she knew that I was interested in these things. She would often chat with me about these things in the dead of night.”
The word she used was often.
Mo Yunwan raised an eyebrow: "It's late at night?"
"Sister, you don't understand." Lu Yao shook his head, "We were playing games when we were chatting. We all have classes during the day, so it's common for the time to not match up. I have more time at night, and I lose energy after playing for a long time. I’m not too focused on the game, so it’s normal to chat when I’m bored.”
She changed the topic again: "In short, you should also be able to hear that from my perspective, she is indeed very smart and likes to think. I originally only listened to the case about Liming just to join in the fun. Most of the details were inferred for the first time. I heard her tell it all. Later, when I received a similar case, when I investigated, I found that many of the situations were similar to the results she inferred based on the information on the Internet. Because the conclusions were largely consistent, even so The police conclusion is slightly different from hers, but my personal feeling is that her conclusion is more in line with the situation at the scene."
"So, you mean that Yu Xuanyi is very concerned about information about Liming? If she is the murderer herself, talking so much about the case she committed with a strange netizen, and tossing in half-truths and half-falsies, it is really disturbing It's unimaginable." Mo Yunwan started her usual conspiracy theory again, licking her lips excitedly, "Of course, if all this is her conspiracy, she actually knows that Lu Yao is a top student in the police academy, and she expected that Xiao Lu I’ll testify to myself in a few years…that would be even more fun.”
"Of course, it's not just that." Lu Yao ignored Mo Yunwan's divergent thinking and continued, "The most important thing is the few days of offline competition I mentioned. I remember it very clearly, there were two days in total, and the first That night, news of dawn killings happened to be announced. We just finished eating hot pot at that time - the kind to celebrate victory. After she saw it, she came to me to discuss it alone..."
Liang An thought she was going to talk about some important discussion with her head lowered in meditation, but then she heard Lu Yao said aggrievedly
"I reviewed it several times later and felt that that was the most likely time for me to be exposed. After all, I said several words at that time and stayed in the same room with Yu Xuanyi, so it was indeed very possible for me to be exposed."
She's still brooding about it.
"What's the point?" Mo Yunwan knocked on the table.
"Then I later checked the time of the case, and it was about five days before that game. In the afternoons and evenings of those days, I accompanied the guys who had taken chicken blood to play simulation training games with friends. It started with that The presumed death times of the cases are quite similar." Lu Yao said decisively, "That's why I concluded that there is no possibility that Yu Xuanyi actually committed the crime. She is a conductor who needs to have her microphone on all the time, and her voice and operation are difficult to fake - but accordingly , I also lack relevant game records, and cannot rule out the possibility of forgery by practical means. Although the case at that time had an inference that the murderer was not found but existed, but I looked at the information at the scene and believed that there should be no forgery in the time of death. possible."
Obviously, after having his first intuition, Lu Yao himself conducted some investigation and research without informing his companions. However, because it could not be used as "conclusive evidence", I chose to conclude that there is no need to say more in this situation.
Lu Yao revealed an idea - Yu Xuanyi is not Ming Ming, but she does show a certain degree of connection with Ming Ming. In this way, can the double corpse case and the theater case that are close in time and place be connected together? Since the first case The other murderer may have had other sightings of Liming, or it may be because of this incident that he mistook Yiwei for Liming, which led to the theater case. In other words, Yu Xuanyi and Liming have a certain degree of commonality that allows the murderer to connect the two. According to Lu Yao's irresponsible inference, the wording of the notice letter and the move of arranging the position of the police officer next to "Ling Ming" mean that the murderer actually does not want the Liming in his mind to be framed for groundless charges and leave an alibi. There is room for this, but the design of the case time also means that the murderer hopes that his grasp of the criminal suspect will remain with Xuanyi. These two designs are somewhat contradictory, but they make sense. They mean that the prisoner wants the police officer to investigate this unfounded Dawn, but does not want her to bear unnecessary guilt. This attitude is contradictory and reasonable - because the murderer holds a considerable degree of sympathy and fanaticism for Dawn, but to a certain extent hopes that she will stumble into jail.
Liang An agreed with this conclusion and at the same time asked Lu Yao about his inner barriers. Exposing Liang Jiang's other purpose of splitting up and allowing Liang An to personally solve Lu Yao's psychological barrier.
After talking, Lu Yao asked Yu Xuanyi if there had been any other abnormal events recently. Yu Xuanyi felt strange and asked Lu Yao teasingly if she thought she had a troubled constitution. But after I put down the phone, I remembered my strange dream again, and I couldn't figure it out.
At this point, the double corpse case and the theater case came to an end. Multiple lines of investigation and remaining doubts emerged.
"That's your latest inference. How did you come up with it?"
This is the most critical question.
Appearance - this is Lu Yao's personal answer.
Liming may have similar looks to Yu Xuanyi, so that she was mistaken as the murderer of a series of cases and was put on the table.
"I admit that many of Yu Xuanyi's characteristics are similar to those shown in Liming." Lu Yao squinted his eyes, "This is a very unexpected discovery for me, because I didn't understand it from a perceptual perspective from the beginning. I feel that the person who was keen to discuss Lai Lai's case with me was Lai Lai himself. On that basis, I feel that these similarities are not coincidental."
When all "impossible" options are eliminated, what remains may seem more exaggerated, but compared to "impossible", it will still become the last exaggerated answer.
They have similar looks, similar temperaments, and even their natural "skill points" are very similar.
"Kindness."
Liang An answered for her, feeling a little emotional at the same time.
But as someone who never lets himself be unprepared, Lu Yao didn't stop there.
"Yu Xuanyi has an indifferent nature. She only has one roommate who lives with her, but she doesn't like to talk to others or show her emotions. Her normal personality can even be called withdrawn, and according to the data, she is an only child. But such a person, He can actively organize teams in the game and has certain social skills. After thinking about it carefully, I found that this is somewhat unreasonable."
A person likes to be alone, but is very good at socializing. What a strange combination is this?
She is still different.
"I investigated Yu Xuanyi's background, spent some time researching some online information about her hometown, and found a documented certification document. She is a child from an orphanage."
