Chapter 33 Drugs, Lies, and Pranks (14)
Daisy knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly changed the subject: "How did you find out? Why did you see that I killed her?"

"Miss Daisy," Yan Su's tone was flat, but there was a slight sense of regret, "Although I don't want to say this. But it's your kindness that betrayed you."

Daisy was puzzled.

The afternoon sun came in from the window, casting a light golden halo on Yan Su's black windbreaker:
"After Anna died, you combed her hair and folded her clothes. When I questioned Qi Mo, you defended him and said something you didn't expect in a hurry, 'it's not Qi Mo, I'm definitely not him, definitely not '. Your eyes were very sure at that time. But his spirit has gone wrong, where did you get the certainty?"

Daisy was startled, lowered her head, and smiled palely: "Anna loves beauty, I don't want her to be in a mess; Qi Mo is timid, I'm afraid you will scare him."

Yan Su said silently: "So, Miss Daisy, you are a bad murderer. You let me catch you without leaving any evidence."

"Yeah," she shook her head with a wry smile, "I'm not suitable to be a murderer, not suitable."

"That's why I came here alone to persuade you to surrender. And I'm more than happy to help you prove to the police that Anna has the intention to kill you, and she prepared the dry ice for the rope."

"Thank you." Daisy was ashamed and covered her face, "Don't say I'm kind, I'm not anymore. I've become a devil. My God, when I left, I saw my face in the mirror, so strange, It was scary. I saw myself as scary as a ghost."

Yan Su frowned: "Which classroom is the mirror you're talking about?"

"The second room."

Without saying a word, the mirror in the second classroom was shattered into pieces.When Daisy arrived, the police had cordoned off the scene, so she didn't know.

He didn't want to explain at the moment, and asked, "A bottle of nail polish is missing from Anna's bag, did you and Kelly take it?"

Daisy was confused: "What nail polish? Maybe she didn't bring it. How do you know she has it?"

Yan Su still didn't explain, and continued to ask, "When did you come back with Kelly after you ran out?"

Daisy tried hard to recall: "I was in a mess, and it was almost six o'clock. I remembered that Kelly was going to see Anna, and he would definitely find out, so I told him the truth at that time. There should be an hour before the incident. It took time to clean up the scene when I went back. After a while, it was getting dark. I was afraid that Anna would be cold, so I turned off the ceiling fan and ran away."

Who turned on the ceiling fan and lights?
When was Qi Mo's mental state?
Yan Su lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "I have one more thing to do, Sindy Lin Lin Xing."

Daisy raised her head abruptly, her eyes wary: "Did you still understand that message?"

"Are you afraid of my rhetoric?" Yan Su smiled, with a bit of disdain in his tone, "It was a signed love letter, written by Lin Xing in high school to Parker, and later in Luo La's hands. That love letter is only a few of you No one knows. After she died, you were all scared when you saw that sentence. Why?"

Daisy lowered her head, clenched her fingers, and said nothing.

Yan Su continued: "Three years ago, Lin Xing died of an asthma attack, and the place of death was the classroom where Anna hanged herself. Oh no, it was the classroom where Anna was going to kill you and hang you up. Why is that? ?”

Hearing this, Daisy calmed down instead, and sneered, "Oh, is she ashamed to kill me there? What qualifications does she have?"

"Why not qualified?" Yan Su quickly caught the chill in her words, "Because Lin Xing's death was not an accident, it was caused by you?"

Daisy opened her mouth, and was about to say something, but held back.She really wanted to reveal the sins and secrets that had been buried in her heart for so many years.But she can't, as everyone said, she can't ruin everyone's future.

She lowered her voice, word by word, as if convincing herself: "That was an accident, and has nothing to do with the current case."

Yan Su looked at her silently for a while, and said in a cold tone, "It's really stupid."

Daisy froze for a moment and looked at him in surprise.

He actually scolded her, so ungentlemanly.

Yan Su didn't care about this, he turned on the screen again with a cold face, and called up the photo in blood on Anna's back: "You and Kelly carved this sentence on her?"

"Of course not." Daisy almost jumped.

"Then who do you think carved it? Are you sure that this case has nothing to do with Lin Xing's death?" Yan Su ignored Dai Xi's gradually pale expression, and spoke faster and faster.
"Turn on the lights, let the fans turn, and write letters on the back of the dead. He is extremely contemptuous of Anna's life. He is threatening you. He wants to avenge Lin Xing. Daisy Ivy, please use your brain and think about it. If you don't tell this matter, some of you will die!"

At the end, he added with a bad temper: "Don't blame me for being unsociable, human beings are too stupid, communicating with you is a waste of time."

Daisy was stunned for a long time, and was shocked by his last words.

She slumped her shoulders and drooped her head listlessly:

"Lin Xing is a very typical Asian girl. She studies very hard, is traditional and gentle. At that time, many male classmates liked her, and many female classmates hated her. She was very close to me at the beginning, but the circle of friends of Laura and Anna was very different. Isolate her. If I continue to be friends with her, I will be isolated too."

Yan Su raised his eyebrows: "Ha, it's really good."

After speaking, his back stiffened inexplicably, and he looked back guiltily.Of course Zhen Ai wasn't there, and naturally she wouldn't poke him because of his sarcastic tone.

Daisy blushed at his words, lowered her head guiltily,
"You don't know how scary and lonely it is to be isolated from the circle of classmates in middle school. I... In short, when Laura and the others teased her and bullied her, I didn't say anything. They even spread rumors that She had promiscuous abortions. By the end everyone didn't like her."

Yan Su Momo: "Middle school students are really boring creatures."

He said it as if he had never experienced middle school.

Daisy took a deep breath, looked up at the ceiling blankly: "It's strange, Parker doesn't hate Lin Xing, Laura and the others bullied Lin Xing, and he saved her once. One day, Laura told us that she found that Lin Xing liked Parker. Everyone thought it was funny. Kelly said she must have thought she was Cinderella.

Everyone wanted to play tricks on her, so they invited her to the playground in his name without telling Parker, and tricked her into using K powder.We just want her to make a fool of herself, put her to sleep at the fairground all night and laugh at her, to show her how delusional she is.I didn't expect her to be raped by an unknown man that day..."

Daisy propped her forehead with her hand, "But it's not over yet. Maybe everyone doesn't want to admit that the prank turned into a crime. So we all said that Lin Xing was lying, that nothing happened that night, and she was pretending to be a victim.

Then one day, Lin Xing went to confess his love to Parker and wrote him a love letter.The love letter said that she missed her first night with Parker very much.The letter was read by Lola at the squash club.Parker was very angry, saying that he had never touched Lin Xing at all; Lin Xing insisted that Parker raped her that night.Kelly and the others were very annoyed when they saw Lin Xing slandering Parker, saying that she was dreaming of a princess.Lola and Anna spoke sharply and called her shameless.

Everyone was blaming her, but she suddenly turned pale and fell to the ground, clutching her chest, which was scary.She said the asthma medicine was in her bag.But... I don't know what happened to everyone.Laura said she was faking it. "

"We were really crazy. She stretched out her hands and crawled on the ground, but we laughed at her acting and kicked that little medicine bottle around like a ball," Daisy choked up and covered her face, crying bitterly, "until later, Suddenly, she was really not breathing..."

"God, I can't believe it until now. We are not vicious people, but at that moment, we all became devils."

Yan Su remained silent, it was a very simple principle of social psychology, but at this moment, he didn't want to say anything.He suddenly remembered Zhen Ai's words, "She killed people, and everyone was watching. I don't want that to happen."

Zhen Ai didn't want it to be like this, but this kind of thing actually happened among this group of high school students many years ago.

Yan Su was suddenly very grateful, fortunately Zhen Ai was not here, fortunately she didn't have to hear Dai Xi's confession.

Daisy cried for a long time remembering the past.After finally regaining her composure, thinking of the knife marks on the back of Anna's body, she had a headache:
"The lettering on the back of Anna, I really can't think of anyone who would do that. Not Zimo, nor Tony, Harvey? He must know something from Zimo, but he is as good a person as Harry, and neither is he. Yes. God, who is it?"

Yan Su Momo looked at her: "I've finished all the questions I want to ask." As he spoke, he slowly put his hands in his pockets as a farewell.

With tears still on Daisy's face, she quickly stood up from the chair and bowed: "Thank you, I will turn myself in after I tidy myself up."

Yan Su nodded slightly: "Yeah." After finishing speaking, he walked out the door with his back straight.

After getting in the car, Yan Su was very satisfied with his performance.It was the best result for Dai Xi to surrender herself.Kind people make mistakes, and only after facing up to them and confessing can they let go of the burden and continue to be kind.

If he saved a lost heart, then his trip would not be in vain.

The next work will continue.Vanishing nail polish, shattered mirror, Qimo, Harvey or Tony?Everything has to wait for the forensic personnel to put the mirror together.

Maybe at the last moment, things will turn around.

When encountering a red light, Yan Su slowed down and touched his phone unconsciously. He has never relied on electronic devices.But at this moment, he suddenly wanted to call Zhen Ai.

He wondered what she was doing.

But after thinking about it, if she was really working, she probably didn't have a mobile phone.

He took a deep breath and looked at the blue sky outside the car window. This emotion, which was as empty as the blue sky, was really... strange and nonsensical.

Still thinking, the phone vibrated, and I took it out and cut it open. It was from Police Officer Jones, and the mirror had already been put together.

As he expected, there were traces of nail polish on the mirror.

Jones sent a line of text under the picture: "Lost target."

Yan Su grabbed his phone, frowned and thought for a while, when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

The green light is on.

He turned the steering wheel quickly, the car slid out of the way, and immediately galloped in the opposite direction.

Yan Su grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and dialed Jones' phone with the other: "Send the police immediately to find Daisy. Someone is going to kill her!"

Daisy sank into the water, spit out air bubbles from her mouth and nose little by little, and the water in the washbasin gurgled.She needed air, her lungs felt like they were going to explode, and she couldn't even think clearly.

Air!

She suddenly raised her head and looked at her wet and flushed face in the mirror. Is this the feeling of suffocation, so anxious that it makes people want to die?

She took several deep breaths and dried her face with a towel.

Just after I packed myself, the doorbell rang again outside.Has Yansu returned?
Daisy didn't look at the door mirror, and opened the door directly. When she saw that beautiful face, she froze for a moment. This is...

The girl in front of her had dark eyes, as deep as a pool. She looked at Dai Xi, her red lips curled up slightly, and her smile was quiet: "I'll take you to a place."

Daisy became vigilant and didn't intend to let her in: "Yan Su has already left."

She was slightly stunned, and immediately recovered her cold expression: "I'm here to find you. But before that, I need you to explain to me what the last sentence of Lin Xing's love letter means."

Daisy frowned, she was really rude, even more rude than the unsociable Yan Su: "Why?"

There were a few crisp mechanical crashes, and when Daisy lowered her head, the cold air rushed up from the soles of her feet, and she froze all of a sudden.

With a movement of Zhen Ai's fingers, the magazine was loaded into the barrel of the gun, and the muzzle was aimed at her forehead.

Daisy sat stiffly on the passenger seat, staring warily at the rearview mirror inside the car.The sun shines on it, and the flowers are white.In the thin and narrow mirror, Zhen Ai's fair and clear face looked unreal, as if it was about to melt into the bright light.

Daisy couldn't connect the quiet beauty at this moment with the girl who just held a gun to her neck and forced her to speak.

After she said everything, Zhen Ai pushed her into the car and warned that if she dared to run around and shout, she would shoot her in the head.

The car finally stopped at the playground, the playground where Lin Xing had an accident.

Daisy was full of suspicion, she remembered that Zhen Ai said someone was going to kill her.But why come to the playground?She asked Zhen Ai, but the latter ignored her coldly.

Today there is a carnival, actors in colorful costumes or jugglers or parades, full of people.The playground was so colorful that Daisy couldn't help but look around.Zhen Ai followed her, occasionally looking at her distractedly, but never lingering.

The people around were full of joy, but the two of them walked without talking to each other, without purpose or direction.

After walking for a while, Daisy relaxed her mood a little, and saw that there was a bubble soda in front of her, so she asked Zhen Ai, "Are you thirsty? Let me buy you some soda."

A flicker of emotion flashed across Zhen Ai's expressionless face, and following Daisy's gaze, she saw colorful ice soda popping bubbles in the vending machine.

The color is so bright, like transparent candy.

She looked back quietly and shook her head.

Dai Xi nuzui: "Then I'll go buy it." She had only walked two meters away when a clown suddenly rushed towards her.

"Be careful!" Zhen Ai was stunned, and shouted, instantly threw Daisy into the vending machine, and the colorful bubbles in the water flew into the sky like a merry-go-round.

Daisy was caught off guard and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Zhen Ai had already turned around to kick the clown, but stopped in time.The clown fell to the ground and rubbed hard. He didn't get up for a long time, and he groaned angrily: "Who is pushing me?"

not him!
Zhen Ai turned her head to look at the crowd, actors in strange costumes, tourists wearing masks, she quickly glanced around, but she couldn't see who had a problem.

Soon someone helped the clown up: "I'm sorry, I bumped into..."

Zhen Ai raised her eyebrows, was it an accident?
And Daisy sat on the ground, dumbfounded.Was Zhen Ai's behavior just now protecting her?

Zhen Ai thought she was in danger, and they were strangers, at that moment, she actually flew over to protect her?
Dai Xi stood up slowly, and her negative emotions towards Zhen Ai changed in an instant.She walked over and said softly, "Thank you just now."

Zhen Ai glanced at her, indifferently, without answering.

Dai Xi didn't want to drink soda anymore, and followed Zhen Ai to continue walking aimlessly.When she reached the mask booth, Zhen Ai stopped and watched quietly.Daisy leaned over and asked, "Do you like masks?"

The mask on one side is exquisite in workmanship and colorful.

Zhen Ai looked up, then lowered her head: "I want to buy one for you."

Daisy was taken aback for a moment, Zhen Ai had already chosen a sea blue feather sequined mask and handed it to her, without a tone: "Put it on." Daisy liked it very much, so she did it.While wearing it, a light suddenly flashed in my mind.Fairgrounds, fake masks, isn't that the best disguise?
Zhen Ai said that she would take her to hide, but ended up here.Did she suspect that someone was watching her at home?Daisy's heart felt cold, but she changed her mind and felt relieved.

The best place to hide leaves is the woods; the best place for Tibetans... She glanced at the joyful crowd and parade floats around her, and said, "Zhen Ai, you are so smart."

Zhen Ai ignored it.

Dai Xi felt that they knew each other, and asked, "Zhen Ai, don't you like talking?"

Still no response.

Daisy shrugged, regretful: "It seems that you only talk to your friends."

Zhen Ai remained silent, and after tens of seconds, Dai Xi had forgotten the question before she slowly said: "I have no friends."

Daisy: ...the reaction is so slow...

"Isn't that Yan Su your friend?"

Zhen Ai was taken aback for a moment, her heart softened suddenly.

She was in a daze, not understanding what was going on with this strange trust and dependence.After a while, she lowered her head and said softly, "Well, he is."

"Weirds and weirdos are friends." Daisy spoke quickly and felt wrong after speaking.

But Zhen Ai continued to wander aimlessly among the crowd as if she didn't hear her.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Daisy felt a red halo flashing in front of her eyes. Just as she was about to reach out to open it, Zhen Ai suddenly grabbed her arm and ran into the nearby castle.

Daisy was dragged by her inexplicably, running out of breath, and signs of drifting and maze appeared at the end of the corridor.Zhen Ai glanced at the sign that the maze was under renovation, and dragged her in without hesitation.
