Chapter 142 Motive (5k two-in-one)
After receiving the message from Chen Jinzhi, Su Chengyi was relieved.
At the same time, I also felt that my worries were a bit unfounded. I just asked for a day off.
But her message said she would not go back to school until tomorrow, so I didn’t expect to see her at the school gate at this time.
There was also a girl I had never seen before.
"Chen Jinzhi?"
"Yes."
After seeing him, Chen Jinzhi was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled softly.
"Didn't I just go back to school before I said it?"
Su Chengyi strode towards her.
"Well, it's a long story. What about you, if you don't go to study at night, what are you doing here?"
Chen Jinzhi threw the question back to him.
Su Chengyi sighed, there was indeed a reason why he was here.
He has already observed secretly today. The surveillance in Building A of the teaching building does not fully cover the entire first floor. It is mainly concentrated in areas where students stay for a long time, such as the library and rest area.
As for the bulletin board, because it is on the back of the stairs, it happens to form a monitoring blind spot.
In other words, if someone wants to do something shady, they only need to follow the flow of people around, destroy things while waiting for a while, and then follow the next wave of people out, and they can do it without being noticed.
So, the equipment was not enough and we had to use manpower.
Su Chengyi sunk his body as far as possible and settled on the sofa in the rest area.
The backrest of the sofa was very high, completely blocking his body.
From the perspective of the stairs, the rest area is empty.
The three-hour evening self-study in No. 1 Middle School has only a fifteen-minute break.
Many students will take this time to go to the cafeteria or canteen to buy some snacks to replenish their energy.
No matter what, go for a walk and get some fresh air.
So the pattern is that when get out of class is over, the crowd goes out in a swarm, and when class is approaching, the crowd hurries back to the classroom.
During this period of time, the first floor was quiet with no one staying.
However, the flow of people during this time period can range from dozens to hundreds at least. It is actually very difficult to investigate and arrest people through surveillance with blind spots.
Even if someone is the most suspected, there is no way to convict the person because there is no substantial evidence.
So, the physical evidence was not enough, so we had to collect witnesses.
This is why Su Chengyi has been lying on the sofa since the evening self-study class.
Today’s evening self-study is for the physics teacher. The physics teacher in Su Chengyi’s class is different from the most common stereotype of a fat Mediterranean man. He is a gentle young man wearing glasses. His surname is Qin and his first name is Xiaofeng. .
Because of his gentle appearance and famous good temper, he is very popular among students.
After class, Su Chengyi just told him that he was not feeling well today and wanted to go to the health room to rest for a while.
He readily agreed and did not ask why he felt uncomfortable, giving the students enough freedom.
This is very rare among teachers. If it were Li Lu, she would have to find out where the person was feeling uncomfortable before she would give up.
If you can’t find out clearly, it means you are pretending to be ill, and the consequences will be serious.
There are also students who want to take advantage of Qin Xiaofeng's good temper to deceive him, but he is not angry even if he is deceived, even if his salary is deducted, he swallows his anger. Over time, everyone started to pity him, and no one tried to trick him anymore.
Thinking of this, Su Chengyi silently confessed in his heart for three seconds.
I'm sorry, Teacher Qin. It's all because of the school's imperfect monitoring system.
The sofa in the rest area is much softer than that at home. Su Chengyi thought that he realized this problem when he and Chen Jinzhi took shelter from the rain last time.
It's just that Chen Jinzhi was by his side that time, which made people a little distracted and didn't mean to sleep at all.
Now I am alone here, the entire teaching building is studying for evening classes, and the surroundings are so quiet that there is only the faint chirping of cicadas on the surrounding trees.
The sleepiness doubled and swept over him, and Su Chengyi's eyelids gradually began to fight.
Can't sleep.
Sighing slightly, he raised his hand and rubbed his face.
""Dan Ge Xing"."
Anyway, I have nothing else to do. I just want to refresh my mind and memorize ancient poems silently for a while.
"Singing over wine, what is life like?. The young and young disciples are so long in my heart. But for the sake of you, I ponder it till now."
From his rebirth to the present, his evil deeds in ancient poetry and prose The supplement was quite effective. So I carried whatever came to my mind, all the way to:
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you"
The rest bell finally rang, and Su Chengyi was attracted by the sharp sound. I was startled, and my originally hazy mind became clear.
Along with the ringing of the bell, students quickly ran downstairs one after another.
Light or heavy footsteps on the stairs, accompanied by the sounds of talking, laughter and pushing and fighting, formed an overlapping march.
Su Chengyi didn’t know if the footsteps of the person he was guarding tonight would be mixed in, but his intuition told him that if that person wanted to take action, it would be today.
Because if that painting survives for a minute or a second, she will feel like there are ants crawling on her body.
Such emotions will gradually spread until they swallow up reason, until the fear of being discovered is eliminated, until the warning Su Chengyi issued in advance today can be ignored.
The sound of staggered footsteps was approaching, and Su Chengyi casually pulled out a book from the shelf beside him and covered his face, pretending to be asleep.
People kept passing by, but he remained motionless, waiting for the surroundings to quiet down.
Finally, everything was silent, and he gently took off the book from his face.
The quiet and peaceful atmosphere lasted for a long time, so long that Su Chengyi thought nothing would happen today.
Suddenly I heard a very slight "beep" sound, like the sound coming from a spray bottle.
What was supposed to come came.
Su Chengyi stood up quietly and walked slowly around the back of the stairs.
As we got closer, the pungent smell of paint was already filling the air.
The man seemed very involved in this matter, holding the paint spray in both hands, and his movements gradually became exaggerated from the cautious at first, as if he was dancing some kind of crazy dance uncontrollably.
Su Chengyi put his hands in his pockets and stood behind her and looked at her for a while.
Obviously, this bottle of paint was of very low quality, and the smell was so strong that the whole building could smell it.
The crime plan was consistent with what he imagined, but the crime props were a bit too random.
After returning to the classroom, I smelled of paint. What is the difference between this and not asking for it?
Su Chengyi was thinking this in his mind, his nasal cavity was irritated, and he suddenly sneezed without warning.
“Hello!”
The man was so frightened by him that he couldn't hold the paint bottle steady and fell to the tile floor with a "clang" sound.
Turning her head, their eyes met, her first reaction was to run away.
"Classmate Zhu Zhu."
Su Chengyi quickly called her out.
Zhu Zhu's face was ashen, but he still gave a stiff smile.
Her behavior may be due to the last fluke in her heart. For example, you just saw it, but there is no evidence; such as pretending to be a white lotus, framing her, and so on, and a series of coping methods.
But Su Chengyi did not leave her with this glimmer of hope. Instead, she directly raised her hand to show the video being played on her phone.
The whole process of her dancing and spraying paint on the bulletin board was recorded.
Seeing herself just now from someone else's perspective, Zhu Zhu's face suddenly showed a bit of hatred.
Su Chengyi turned off the phone and said slowly:
"I probably know what you are thinking. Maybe you are thinking of some words to whitewash yourself so that I can hide this matter for you. Maybe you are trying to make up some kind of lie, such as being coerced to do this kind of thing. ?”
He raised his head and looked at the sea of pink flowers that were ruined beyond recognition by paint. Bright red, a bit dazzling.
“But unfortunately, none of this works.”
All Zhu Zhu’s thoughts were analyzed word for word by the expressionless boy in front of him. , she gritted her teeth and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Why do you doubt me?"
Su Chengyi raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, then took two steps forward and picked up the paint bottle that fell on the ground.
"Class is about to start. You don't want to be bumped into like this. Do you want to go outside for a walk?"
Zhu Zhu looked at him in astonishment, but Su Chengyi did not wait for her. He answered and walked out.
Now that people are killing her, she has no choice but to keep up.
The two were walking on the Wutong path under the street lights. Su Chengyi shook the paint bottle in his hand and asked slowly:
"Just now you asked me why I doubted you. In fact, I have doubted many people. Also One of the suspects is even her closer friend. I don't think there is any problem with this.
Because if you want to believe someone, the first thing you have to do is to be suspicious. I believe it is just self-deception.
Then, I want to know why you treat Chu Qingmian like this."
Zhu Zhu had already guessed that he would ask this question. A convulsive smile.
"You are so smart, why can't you guess it? You have been observing me for a long time, right? Why? Do you like her? Yes, there is no one in the world who doesn't like her."
Su Chengyi ignored her "like" He asked, his eyes still looking at the street lamp as far as his sight could extend, and no emotion could be heard in his tone.
"Even if you have some guesses, you need to confirm them with the person involved. I think people like Chu Qingmian will not do anything to hurt you and make you feel resentful, but people Human malice may be like this, and there is no need for any legitimate reasons.”
“In this matter, Freud’s theory is: human nature. Everyone has a tendency to self-destruct, and some people will impose this desire for destruction on others. We call this kind of person a psychopath.
What I have learned so far is you. Have you ever done anything else to attack her by changing the manuscript at the swearing-in ceremony for thousands of people and destroying the paintings that you worked so hard on?”
Zhu Zhu originally couldn't listen to the academic language he was talking about, such as Freud and self-destructive tendencies. Her heart was filled with anxiety that the scandalous things she had done were about to be exposed.
Su Chengyi's tone of voice was also very calm, even a little gentle, not threatening or questioning at all. But strangely, when faced with his last question, Zhu Zhu almost shuddered before speaking:
"No."
After receiving the answer, Su Chengyi nodded. , then said:
“I have learned from other people that you and Chu Qingmian went to the same school since childhood.
When you didn't finish your homework, she was the one who helped you explain it to the teacher; when you were being asked for protection money by the spiritual boys and girls in society, it was she who led your classmates to help you out; your family background was not very good, and your parents were in junior high school. He spent almost all his efforts to send you to a foreign school. When you couldn't afford the tuition and fees, Chu Qingmian paid them directly for you.
There are many more things like this, right? "
"Yes. "
A few traces of obvious regret appeared on Zhu Zhu's face, and tears almost oozed from her eyes.
Su Chengyi calmly watched the change in her expression, and suddenly stopped The steps have been taken,
"You don't have to pretend like this in front of me. I know that you actually don't have any regrets in your heart.
You grew up together, but why is she better than you? The better she is, the better your life will be. It seems even less worth mentioning. Everyone's attention and praise for her make her more dazzling, and you hate her even more.
Everything she does to you, you think of it as charity, but you take it for granted. At the same time as he accepted it, his jealousy grew stronger and stronger. "Chu Qingmian's kindness is like your malice, which increases but never dies."
At this point, Zhu Zhu finally understood that Su Chengyi might. He is the first person in the world who understands her motives.
There is nothing wrong with Chu Qingmian. It is difficult to find someone more perfect and better than her in the world. However, this will make herself, who lives in a dark corner, hate her infinitely. meaning.
"As for your motives, I think I have confirmed it. So, how are you going to deal with this matter next?"
Zhu Zhu saw that the matter had reached an irreversible point, and she looked at Su Chengyi. Putting his hand in the pocket of his school uniform, he suddenly asked:
"Is your mobile phone recording?"
As if he didn't expect that she would notice, Su Chengyi was startled.
His hand froze in his pocket for a few seconds, then he took out his phone and deleted the recording in front of her.
This discovery made Zhu Zhu feel that she had gained a victory, and her ordinary face suddenly showed a bit of elation.
“Have you seen the street lights? How far can this kind of light shine? In the end, it will be swallowed up in the darkness. I just can’t see her going so smoothly. Why? Send me two rewards like a beggar. Copper, I have to surround her like a dog?"
Su Chengyi asked thoughtfully,
"So you hurt her. Through this shady method, she still wants to maintain a good relationship with her."
"Yes, how funny it is to tell the culprit how sad she is and that she doesn't care. Who did it? She wants to know why. Isn’t it ridiculous that she has hurt someone else in this way?”
"It's quite funny."
Su Chengyi nodded.
Then Zhu Zhu heard his hoarse voice coming from his pocket.
He took out a pen and shook the red light that was on at her. The red light looked like the red eyes of some ferocious beast under the shadow of the street lamp.
All the dark psychological activities were watched by this eye, and Zhu Zhu felt that her knees were a little weak.
Su Chengyi shook the paint bottle in his hand,
"I know you won't feel guilty about what you have done. So, let's replace the guilt with fear."
Fear?
Looking at his cold eyes, Zhu Zhu felt a sense of absurdity that she might be silenced here.
“Don’t worry, there is surveillance here.”
As if he knew what she was thinking, Su Chengyi raised his finger and pointed in front of him.
I don’t know why Zhu Zhu felt a little colder after hearing this.
"If I wasn't prepared, I would probably spray the rest of this bottle of paint on you."
Su Chengyi's serious face didn't look like he was joking.
Zhu Zhu seemed to smell the pungent smell of paint again in her nose, and swallowed nervously.
Su Chengyi narrowed his eyes slightly, aimed at a trash can in front of him, and threw the paint bottle in his hand.
“But, I asked the teacher this afternoon to add a layer of plastic film to the painting for protection. So, unfortunately, it seems that all your graffiti creations were painted on that layer of plastic. "
Zhu Zhu was confused as she listened to the sound of paint bottles falling into the empty trash can.
So?
What did she do tonight?
"But I won't report you. I don't expect you to have the enlightenment to turn around and make peace with yourself. It's just that I don't think she can understand your motives like I do. She may doubt herself because of this, and I don't want to see this impact."
Su Chengyi raised his head and looked at the swarms of mosquitoes under the street lamp.
The phototaxis brought by the gene makes these mosquitoes surround the lampshade, even if they are burned to ashes by the temperature, they still keep coming.
"At the same time, I hope you can cooperate with me and stay away from her. If you do something similar again, the ending may not be a child's play like spray paint. Can you do it?”
He even said this in a raised tone, like a kindergarten teacher guiding students to do their homework.
Zhu Zhu took a few steps back and nodded.
Su Chengyi nodded sharply and turned to leave.
"Why did you do these things for her? You know my motives, what about yours?"
Finally, Zhu Zhu mustered up the courage to ask the question again. .
She and Chu Qingmian have known each other since they were very young, and Chu Qingmian’s obsession with Su Chengyi has always existed.
But in Zhu Zhu's memory, the relationship between the two people had always been that Chu Qingmian followed Su Chengyi and chased him.
She once thought that such a relationship would last, and secretly gained a lot of relief from it.
When she thought that Chu Qingmian also had things that she could not love, Zhu Zhu felt that life was fair to a certain extent.
But I don’t know when it started to change. Su Chengyi suddenly turned around and saw Chu Qingmian behind him. The distance between the two instantly narrowed, and he would even negotiate with herself for her sake.
All this makes Zhu Zhu a little hard to accept.
Hearing this question, Su Chengyi stopped and seemed to be thinking seriously.
After a while, he slowly said:
“Because I like it very much.”
He paused and then continued:
"That painting."
