"How's it going?" Zhou Wensheng sat in the car and lit a match. The rising smoke made Zhou Wensheng let out a long sigh of relief. He did not rush to light the ignition, but leaned on the backrest and looked at Su Xiaoqing sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
"She probably didn't lie." Su Xiaoqing frowned slightly, "But... Officer Zhou is unusual for this girl."
"Let's get down to business!" Zhou Wensheng exhaled a puff of smoke, glared at Su Xiaoqing with feigned anger, and then threw the document bag on the passenger side to Su Xiaoqing, "Take a look."
Su Xiaoqing opened the document bag and dropped a stack of photos into her arms. With just one glance, Su Xiaoqing's face became solemn.
A dark room, five will-o'-the-wisp candles, a huge inverted five-pointed star, an overwhelming number of large and small inverted five-pointed stars, and a figure huddled in the corner.
"What kind of performance art are you doing?" Su Xiaoqing frowned, "Art must be grounded, not grounded..."
"This is the photo we took yesterday afternoon when we forced open the door of Lu Xiaohan's house." After saying that, Zhou Wensheng took a deep breath, put the cigarette butt out in the ashtray, took a deep breath of thick smoke, and glanced at the rearview mirror. , "Now you know why I care about Lu Xiaohan so much."
"Why didn't you just take the photo and ask her?" Su Xiaoqing said, putting the photo back into the document bag.
"She has something to do with this matter, and she is not as simple as we seem. But there is no evidence yet, so we can't alert the snake." Zhou Wensheng looked at the time, turned on the ignition, and started the car, "Let's go Well, I promise you, I’ll treat you to something to eat after I’m done.”
It was noon and Dongyun Pavilion was crowded.
"Officer Zhou, are you going to treat me to steamed buns at noon?" Su Xiaoqing looked up and down through the car window at the crowded Dongyun Pavilion.
She knew that Dongyun Pavilion's steamed buns were delicious, but she didn't expect that there would be so many people there at noon.
"I know you girls don't eat much, but you need to have more varieties. Not only are their steamed buns delicious, but their various Chinese pastries are also good, and the portions aren't very large. You can order more and try them all." Zhou Wen Sheng said, leaning down, his eyes constantly peering in through the car window, hoping to find an empty table.
"I didn't expect you to be quite thoughtful." After hearing Zhou Wensheng's explanation, Su Xiaoqing smiled broadly, "Then let's go."
"There are a lot of people at the moment, let's wait for a while." Zhou Wensheng stopped Su Xiaoqing's hand from opening the car door.
"Okay~" Su Xiaoqing shrugged and had no choice but to keep her temper.
"Do you think she really has amnesia?" Zhou Wensheng said, opening the car window a crack, lighting a match, and lighting the cigarette in his mouth.
"It should be true." When Su Xiaoqing heard Zhou Wensheng talking about work, Su Xiaoqing straightened her expression and replied seriously, "Her phobia of sharp edges is true. The tip of a fruit-peeling knife is not entirely sharp. But she is still pale, trembling all over, and her pupils are dilated, which is something that is difficult for ordinary people to fake unless she is a professional actor."
"Can acute phobia cause amnesia?" Zhou Wensheng didn't quite understand.
"Acute phobia itself does not cause amnesia, but when the fear reaches the limit of physical and mental endurance, the body will activate its self-protection mechanism to protect itself by burying these terrible things deep in the memory so that they will no longer be remembered. No longer injured physically or mentally." Su Xiaoqing tried her best to explain in simple language.
"Officer Zhou, can we wait until I'm full before we talk about this work..." After Su Xiaoqing finished speaking, she felt her stomach growl in protest.
"Look, there are still a lot of people in the store!" Zhou Wensheng glanced at the store and said, "I've been paying attention. Don't worry, we'll go as soon as there are fewer people."
"It won't work, it won't work, why don't we find another restaurant." Su Xiaoqing felt that she was so hungry that she almost had no energy to speak.
"No, Dongyun Pavilion is so famous. Let's eat here~ Just wait, wait, look, that table seems to be almost finished..." Zhou Wensheng pointed to the window of the store with his finger. A table nearby said to Su Xiaoqing.
"Old Zhou! Hurry up!" Before Zhou Wen Sheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Su Xiaoqing's cheerful urging. When he looked up again, Su Xiaoqing had already run to the door of Dongyun Pavilion and waved to him. In the blink of an eye, Su Xiaoqing had already rushed to the table that had just been vacated.
Zhou Wensheng turned on his phone, glanced at the balance in Alipay, sighed silently, locked the car door, and walked towards the store.
"This, this, this, and this, two of each." Zhou Wensheng walked to the table, and Su Xiaoqing had just placed the order.
"There's so much, have you finished eating?" Zhou Wensheng glanced at the list and muttered.
"Let's start with this much. If it's not enough, add more." Su Xiaoqing didn't hear Zhou Wensheng's muttering and waved her hand to the waiter to place the order.
"According to what you just said, Lu Xiaohan was so frightened that he lost his memory?" Seeing the waiter going to place an order, Zhou Wensheng had no choice but to pull up the chair opposite Su Xiaoqing and sit down, continuing to discuss the topic he had just finished talking about.
"Yes." Su Xiaoqing nodded, "Maybe it has something to do with the photo you showed me."
"Then I don't understand. If she was scared, why did she draw those inverted five-pointed stars? She also closed the curtains, lit candles, and even put a sharp dagger in front of herself?" Zhou Wensheng frowned. asked the head.
"There is only one possibility." Su Xiaoqing took a sip of the tea in front of her, raised her good eyes and stared at Zhou Wensheng, and said word by word, "She was put to sleep."
"Hypnosis?" Zhou Wensheng struck a match and lit the cigarette between his fingers, "Hypnosis..."
"Yes." Su Xiaoqing nodded, "When she mentioned what happened yesterday, I kept watching her. Only when she mentioned that she had answered a phone call, her eyes became panicked and she subconsciously hit her Every shiver showed that she was very scared of that phone call, but for some reason, she had to answer it. Combined with the photos of the scene you showed me, I think Lu Xiaohan was hypnotized by that phone call, and then She drew a room full of inverted pentagrams. When she was asked to commit suicide with a dagger, her acute phobia broke out. She threw away the dagger, huddled in the corner, and activated her body's self-protection. What happened after being hypnotized is completely sealed in the back of my mind.”
"I think you need to check that phone call carefully." Su Xiaoqing took a sip of water and added, "That is a person who can hypnotize a psychological counselor. He is not an ordinary character."
“How many layers of the pagoda are broken, whose soul is broken?
In pain, I went straight to the mountain gate where a broken lamp collapsed..."
Just as Zhou Wensheng was smoking a cigarette and thinking carefully about what Su Xiaoqing said, the cell phone at his hand suddenly rang.
Zhou Wensheng took a look and answered the phone.
"Boss, it's me. Brother Qiao has been contacted. Where are you now? I'll pick you up." Wang Bin's voice came from the receiver.
"Okay, I'm in Dongyun Pavilion now. Come over here." After Zhou Wensheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone and called the waiter with a wave of his hand, "Bring me your menu and we'll add some more."
