You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Lin Chen remained silent.

He simply sat quietly opposite Gao Ya, his entire being seemingly blending into the dim shadows of the interrogation room, like a lifeless sculpture.

Time stretched out infinitely in the utter silence.

Every second felt like an eternity.

In the air, oppressive factors are growing and fermenting wildly, turning into a viscous texture that is almost tangible, sticking to people's skin, crawling into their nasal cavities, and making it impossible for them to breathe.

Outside the one-way glass, Li Mingyu paced back and forth anxiously, muttering to himself.

"What the hell? Just by turning off the lights and sitting there, you expect the prisoner to talk?"

Su Qingge also frowned, but her gaze was fixed on Lin Chen's blurry outline on the monitor screen.

She had a premonition.

Lin Chen is weaving a net targeting elegance in a way that neither she nor the entire police force can understand.

Inside the interrogation room.

At first, Gao Ya maintained her elegance, even with a hint of mockery on her lips.

In his view, this was the worst psychological tactic.

Trying to create pressure through darkness and silence?

it is ridiculous.

He spent his life in solitude and darkness, enjoying the tranquility they brought.

However, ten minutes passed.

Twenty minutes have passed.

The man opposite him remained motionless, his breathing so faint it was almost imperceptible.

That silence was no longer a weapon, but had become a kind of... nothingness.

It was as if the entire world had been drained of sound, light, and even air.

The elegant smile on her face gradually disappeared.

For the first time, his eyes, hidden behind gold-rimmed glasses, began to truly scrutinize the man shrouded in shadow opposite him.

Just then.

Lin Chen moved.

He stretched out his long, slender, fair fingers and gently tapped them on the cold metal tabletop.

"despair."

"Tap, tap, tap."

There was no opening statement, no questions.

There was only a crisp, rhythmic tapping sound.

[God-level Music Theory Mastery], activated!

The rhythm is light and eerie, with a touch of dazzling virtuosity. It is the elegant and famous piece, which has been praised by countless music critics as the "devil's sound" - the variation of "Devil's Trill"!

Gao Ya's body, which had been slightly relaxed due to sitting for a long time, suddenly tensed up the moment she heard the first note!

His gaze, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, instantly focused on Lin Chen's twitching fingers!

As someone with auditory synesthesia, in his world, sound has color.

The melody that flowed from Lin Chen's fingertips was rich, precise, and gorgeous, with every note's "color" being perfect and impeccable!

That's a deadly temptation!

Her elegant breathing unconsciously became rapid, following the rise and fall of the melody.

He even temporarily forgot where he was, completely immersed in this "performance" made up of his fingertips and the table.

Lin Chen's fingertips danced rapidly, the rhythm becoming faster and more intense, as if a demon was dancing wildly in the darkness!

The moment the melody reaches its climax—

Stop it abruptly!

All sounds, all "colors," were drained away in an instant!

His elegant pupils suddenly contracted!

The feeling of rupture, like falling from the ultimate splendor into the abyss of deathly silence, made his heart clench violently, almost suffocating him!

Followed by.

"despair."

Lin Chen typed the next note.

That one sound struck Gao Ya like a thunderbolt!

One beat off!

Not only was the rhythm wrong, but the force of the strikes was also too light!

In the refined world of perception, it seems as if a pool of filthy, disgusting mud has been forcibly splashed onto that originally vibrant map of colors!

Perfection has been shattered!

"No……"

A suppressed, beast-like growl escaped from his elegant throat.

The veins on his forehead bulged, and he trembled violently as if nailed to the chair.

For him, this was not just a mispronunciation, but a stain on his faith.

Lin Chen seemed not to notice his reaction.

He continued tapping.

"Tap...tap tap..."

Each note was deliberately deviated from the standard frequency by one ten-thousandth.

Each rhythm was intentionally delayed by 0.01 seconds.

These flaws are so subtle that ordinary people cannot even notice them, but to the ears of this ultimate perfectionist, they are no less than the cruelest torture!

He felt as if countless ants were gnawing at his eardrums and his brain!

His elegant hands gripped the armrests of the interrogation chair tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, leaving clear fingerprints on the hard metal armrests!

He was drenched in cold sweat, and his breathing was like that of a broken bellows, making a heavy, wheezing sound.

He wanted to roar, to make the other person stop!

But his morbid pride wouldn't allow him to bow down to such crude "noise"!

at last.

"Enough!!"

Gao Ya could no longer hold back and let out a hysterical roar.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at Lin Chen, his voice distorted with anger and pain.

"It's in E-flat major! The last note of the cadenza in the third measure is in E-flat major! Not D! You idiot!!"

He roared out the correct notes, as if defending his last shred of dignity.

The interrogation room fell silent once again because of his roar.

Outside the one-way glass, everyone was stunned by the sudden scene.

Lin Chen's tapping suddenly stopped.

He slowly raised his head and opened his eyes in the dim light.

Those eyes, unfathomable, pierced through all his pretense of elegance, reaching the deepest darkness of his soul.

Lin Chen spoke softly in a calm tone that was almost eerie.

"Like when you're 'tuning' the music in the walls of your music room?"

"Tap that girl's ribs..."

"Is it also in the key of E-flat?"

In a word.

Like a sharp blade tempered with ice, it pierced the heart of elegance with precision, ferocity, and ruthlessness.

The madness, anger, and hysteria on his face froze in that instant.

Time seemed to have been paused at that moment.

[Master-level Micro-expression Analysis], now activated!

In Lin Chen's view, every subtle change on Gao Ya's frozen face was magnified infinitely.

The muscles at the corner of my mouth twitched violently to the lower left for 0.1 seconds, an instinctive reaction of extreme horror and fear.

His pupils instantly contracted to the most dangerous pinpoints, and deep in his eyes, a fleeting glimpse revealed an undisguised, overwhelming killing intent that wanted to tear Lin Chen to pieces!

Although it was only for a moment.

Although Gao Ya immediately used his strong self-control to forcefully suppress all his emotions.

But Lin Chen had already seen everything he wanted to see.

Gao Ya's expression returned to that sickly calm, and she even managed a slight smile.

But that smile was stiff, like a cheap mask.

"I...don't understand what you're talking about."

His voice was dry and hoarse, lacking its former composure and magnetism.

Outside the one-way glass, Zhang Zheng suddenly stood up from his chair, leaned forward slightly, and placed his hands on the control panel. For the first time, his weathered face revealed an uncontrollable excitement and shock!

"This kid..."

Su Qingge clenched her fists tightly, her chest heaving violently.

The look in her eyes as she watched Lin Chen on the monitor was filled with an unprecedented brilliance!

This is no longer an interrogation!

This is psychological surgery.

With just a few fingers, Lin Chen accurately located the cancerous part of the other person's soul and then cut it off!

She had never seen this method in any textbook!

However, just when everyone thought the situation was settled.

"Bang!"

The door to the observation room was pushed open, and a young police officer rushed in anxiously.

"Team Leader Zhang, Team Leader Su, the elegant lawyer has arrived!"

"With special permission, they requested an immediate halt to the trial and applied for bail due to insufficient evidence!"

This news was like a bucket of ice water, poured over everyone's burning hearts.

Zhang Zheng's face instantly darkened.

Su Qingge's nails dug deeply into her palms, her face full of resentment.

They all knew what this meant.

The company is extremely prestigious and has hired one of the top legal teams in the country.

Without direct physical evidence or a confession, the police have no way to prevent the other party from being released on bail once the detention period expires.

Soon, the door to the interrogation room was opened.

A lawyer, dressed in a bespoke suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, walked in, followed by two assistants.

Without even glancing at the police officers present, he walked straight to Gao Ya's side, whispered a few words in her ear, and then helped her untie the restraints on her hands.

Gao Ya stood up.

He slowly and deliberately straightened the collar of his suit, which was already soaked with cold sweat but still perfectly pressed. Every movement was like performing some kind of sacred ritual, trying to regain that lost elegance.

He put his gold-rimmed glasses back on, and his gaze behind the lenses swept over everyone else, landing on Lin Chen.

Those eyes were cold and venomous.

He gave Lin Chen a gentle and refined smile.

"Consultant Lin, is that right?"

"We'll meet again soon."

After saying that, he didn't linger. Surrounded by a group of lawyers, he walked out of the interrogation room with his head held high.

"asshole!"

Enraged, Li Mingyu slammed the cup on the table to the ground, making a sharp, jarring sound.

Watching a murderer walk right out of your sight is a disgrace to any police officer!

Su Qingge clenched her fist and slammed it against the wall in anger. Her clear phoenix eyes were filled with humiliation and anger.

The entire command center was shrouded in an atmosphere of oppression and defeat.

Only Lin Chen.

He watched Gao Ya's elegant figure disappear at the end of the corridor, and a cold, mocking smile slowly curled at the corner of his mouth.

go?

No.

This is just the beginning.

Because the fox's tail can no longer be hidden.

……

Outside the police station.

A black Bentley had been waiting for some time.

He settled into the back seat with elegance, the soft leather seats enveloping his tired body.

The car window slowly rolled up, completely shutting out the glaring lights of the police station and all prying eyes.

The moment the car door closed.

The mask of elegance that Gao Ya had been forcibly maintaining on her face shattered with a crash!

His features were contorted with extreme anger and excitement, his eyes swirling with a frenzied, bloodthirsty rage, and he exuded a beastly, chilling aura.

he knows.

I've been seen through.

That man named Lin Chen was like a sharp scalpel, cutting open his chest and exposing his deepest secrets to the sunlight in a bloody manner!

It's been exposed...

It's been exposed...

Gao Ya chewed on the three words nervously, while a strange "hoho" laugh came from his chest.

Since that's the case, there's no need to endure it any longer, no need to pretend anymore!

He took out a clean white handkerchief from the inside pocket of his suit and gently wiped his long, slender fingers, which seemed born for art.

To flee?

No.

Before that, the final "swan song" must be performed!
