Chapter 5 Chapter 5 The Dictionary of Death

The wind is blowing, and the gentle wind is like a child's hand, reaching out to the cherry tree playfully, rubbing the little hand, smashing the rain of countless petals, and fluttering down to the front hall. The stone steps of the eaves and corners of the Fengyu Hall have been covered with embroidered clusters of flower petals.The Wind and Rain Hall is the place where the students of the Department of Foreign Languages ​​are active. The hall is divided into foreign language book area, film and television area, self-study room, leisure area, dining area, and practice room.Today's rehearsal room is quiet, and there are always groups of people rehearsing foreign language dramas and other programs on weekdays.

There were a dozen or so students sitting scattered in the leisure area, reading books and eating at the same time, busy with their own tasks, but quiet.Xiao Nai just came over from the female dormitory of the foreign language department in the back hall, and planned to eat in the front hall.She just liked that the leisure area was quiet enough, so she ordered a dish and a soup, and picked up the dictionary to memorize words. This is not an ordinary dictionary, it contains a glossary of words from many countries.The dictionary is so thick that it cannot be held in two hands, so it has to be placed on the table.Xiao Nai drank two mouthfuls of soup, then looked into the distance, muttering words.Taking advantage of the gap between reciting books, she turned her eyes around.

A man wearing a peaked cap with the brim pressed down very low came in suddenly.It happened that the backlight happened, Xiao Nai couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, but the moment the visitor turned around, he could clearly see the rubber band she put on under the hat.This is a girl, Xiao Nai concludes.The other party acted strangely, a gray and black windbreaker wrapped around the thin half of the body, the collar had already blocked half of the face, her hand still raised the collar subconsciously, so Xiao Nai looked at her a few more times. "Wow, Land Rover has launched a new model. The appearance of armored vehicles has always been my favorite style. If you wear camouflage uniforms and drive into the mountains, it will be fun to have a shootout." A boy from the foreign language department spoke in German.The girl in the gray windbreaker was startled when she heard this, she stopped involuntarily, and turned her face to the side. Before she could see the famous car magazine in the boy's hand, she lowered her hat and walked over.

Xiao Nai's curiosity was completely aroused, the Department of Foreign Languages ​​is a rather interesting department.How should I put it, Xiao Nai described in his heart that the foreign language department is exposed to Western culture, so no matter how the students in this department dress or talk, they all have his (her) style and taste.And people who come to the front hall have a purpose, either to drink a cup or two of coffee, chat and recite vocabulary, or to read; even the poorest students can find a sense of belonging here, because the foreign language book area is free Reading.So this girl who just came in was very strange, hurried and lacking purpose.

While Xiao Nai was still looking at the girl in rapt attention, the words were being memorized one by one in Xiao Nai's brain memory bank. Due to the stimulation of association and reality, her brain was composed of a peaked cap, a high-necked long trench coat, a hurried , Yanshi these words think of the words "killer" and "shooting", and they are still spelled in many countries. Just as he was thinking about it, there was a "bang" gunshot, and a boy in the direction of three o'clock in front of Xiao Nai suddenly fell to the ground.A dozen or so sporadic people ran away at once, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.Xiao Naishang didn't have time to react, and saw the girl in the peaked cap quickly hid in the crowd while taking advantage of the chaos, and ran towards the arched time corridor leading to the back hall.

Passing through the time corridor, you will enter the back hall advertised as a classical building of the last century.The back hall is actually a student apartment, which is divided into three areas. Area A is a gothic architectural style male apartment, and B area is a neoclassical architectural style female apartment.Because it is neoclassical, there are several districts in the huge castle complex, where girls of different grades live, and a Baroque-style clock tower is built on the periphery of the building, which sends out "咚咚咚咚" every 12 o'clock. "The ancient bell.The Bell Tower is connected to Area C, and a bridge with a semi-circular arch is built. The zenith of the bridge is all glass, and the small space is deepened with mirror images.Under the bridge is a 50-meter-long corridor under the bridge. The zenith is made of glass, so it is not dark under the bridge.And there are many small shops on both sides.

Those shops are very distinctive, and some of them are magic shops like Harry Potter, selling some European-style props used in foreign language dramas.For example: quills, magic wands, classic dresses, etc.At the end of the bridge is Area C, the park area. When the chaos broke out and the murderer escaped, it was exactly 12 o'clock, the time the clock struck.Xiao Nai's face turned pale, and she kept an eye on the murderer throughout the shooting process.If the murderer thought he saw her face and wanted to kill her, he was not very dangerous. Xiao Nai immediately thought of Lang Chuhong, he can catch any criminal.She was about to go out, but found that the front door was closed.Who is so incompetent to close the exit?So I want to leave from the back hall, there are two exits, one is from the male dormitory in area A, and the other is from area B to the park in area C, and the park also has an exit. "The two exits of the back hall are sealed. The school has sent people to guard the exits of Area A and Area C. They want to catch the murderer before he escapes." A boy spoke quickly, Obviously in a hurry.

"Then our large group of people have been isolated? And this place has become a closed space? There are at least 2,000 people in the entire Fengyu Church. How could it be possible to catch the suspect in a short time." The girl who spoke I was so anxious that I cried. "Damn it!" Xiao Nai couldn't help but swear.School idiots!She was so angry that she looked at the school doctor who was squatting beside the corpse. "Unfortunately, he was shot in the heart and died with a single shot." The school doctor shook his head as he said. "The person is about 1.7 meters tall, with a thin build, and she is a woman. Her long hair is tied up in a peaked cap, and she is wearing a gray-black windbreaker, but it is not ruled out that she will come out after changing clothes." Xiao Nai said to the crowd, his tone intolerable Doubtful, she has always been a person who is used to giving orders, and turned to ask the school doctor, "What is the model of the bullet? Should we search for the gun immediately? Since the murderer has no way to leave here, he should throw away the gun to cover up his identity. If the murder weapon is found, our danger level will be reduced by one point."

Just as I was talking, a sleepy boy ran over from the back hall through the corridor of time: "What are you doing? I'm making a lot of noise. I'm about to take an exam. Do you want to keep people from sleeping?" He only wore A set of thin beige silk pajamas, more than loose, made him look suave and elegant. Xiao Nai glanced at him: "What's an exam?" He nodded his chin, glanced at the corpse lying on the ground, and thought to himself, this is really troublesome.The boy's height is not outstanding, only 1.73 meters, but the lazy aura exuding from his body makes his thin and upright body also show a different kind of beauty.He smacked his lips, looking for something in the crowd, and suddenly, as if he had discovered a new world, he jumped forward, like a short-nosed cat, with a touch of humor and disdain in his elegant demeanor.

Thinking of this metaphor, Xiao Nai couldn't help laughing. In fact, his nose is not flat at all, it's high and straight, which makes the contours of his face very prominent, but because of the dimple around his mouth, the rigid contours stand out again. out soft.His eyes were neither big nor small, but they were very bright, as if they contained two obsidian stones, making it hard for people to look away. "I really didn't expect to meet you here. The little fairy has become more beautiful." Following his voice, it turned out that Lin Weiwei from the Department of Architecture was also there.Thinking that Lin Weiwei has almost recovered, Xiao Nai felt a little embarrassed, and didn't dare to visit her like she did when she was still recovering.

A pair of warm hands rest on Xiao Nai's shoulders, she has to raise her head very high to see him clearly.It was Lang Chuhong. He came with Weiwei. Seeing her thoughts, he smiled faintly: "Weiwei has always wanted to see you. I just saw you reciting vocabulary. I'm sorry to disturb you. Who would have thought that such a scene would happen?" play." With those words, Xiao Nai's doubts were dispelled, and Wei Wei, who was pulled aside by the boy, looked at her with a smile. She also laughed, the two of them are sisters, there is no overnight feud.Suddenly, she felt something was wrong. Lang Chuhong is not a person who ignores life. How could he speak like this? Is the sudden passing of life just an absurd drama?She looked at Lang Chuhong suspiciously, and Lang Chuhong moved away instinctively, keeping a certain distance from her: "That's Stephen, because he likes psychology, so he recognized me as a senior, but he is still from the foreign language department. "He unexpectedly fell silent for a rare moment, is he really in such a good mood?Xiao Nai's doubts grow deeper and deeper. "My mother is American, great detective, have you found any clues? For example, where should the gun be hidden, or where should the girl transform?" Stephen couldn't help teasing her, wanting to see her An angry face. "Smell, what's the air?" Xiao Nai's face turned red instantly, her analysis should be correct, why should he question himself. "You're so mean." Apparently Stephen was also very dissatisfied with the nickname, and touched his nose unconsciously. "Short stature, it's not just what beauty is. Children, go back and study hard, you don't even understand this." Xiao Nai made a gesture to touch his head, which made Stephen very angry.He grabbed her hand and looked at her with burning eyes: "It's wrong for little aunt to tease me." Xiao Nai is very beautiful, and has a tall and graceful figure, but when he stands next to the baby-faced Stephen, he looks like a brother and sister, so he intentionally hurts her.She wanted to withdraw her hand, but he grabbed it firmly, and his eyes were smiling, which made her blush halfway: "You think you are Yang Guo? Smelly child, stinky, let me go quickly." "Little aunt, it's past senior year. You should call me senior brother according to your age and seniority." He was still poor, and the hands he held were as delicate and moist as jade. He couldn't bear to let go, and couldn't help but squeeze Her palm, she was shocked, and even forgot to say a word. Weiwei and Lang Chuhong looked at each other and smiled, and Lang Chuhong broke the deadlock. He said softly: "If a boy always makes a girl angry, then he must be in love with that girl." Stephen was so frightened that he let go of his hand immediately, and Weiwei also smiled, "Is it true?" Lang Chuhong replied: "That's what it means." Xiao Nai hurriedly squeezed Weiwei's fair and tender face: "Is there someone like you who 'protects' my sister? Watch me pinch you! I saw half of the murderer's face, I'm afraid she will come to me, I'm so anxious, you Still laughing." Lang Chuhong looked relaxed, "I'm afraid you won't recognize the murderer at all, so don't be too nervous." "The murderer doesn't think so, just in case, he will definitely kill my little aunt." He hugged Xiao Nai as he spoke, "So for safety, little aunt has to stay by my side." Lang Chuhong ignored the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, and pulled Wei Wei to examine the corpse together. Xiao Nai was wondering, when did his sister become so bold? "Are you looking at the death dictionary?" Seeing that Lang Chuhong and the others were only looking at the corpse, Stephen was looking for something to say again.Xiao Nai rolled his eyes disapprovingly.Stephen, who had a hippie smile on his face, lost his smile and flipped his hands over the dictionary, "The mnemonics on the book and the alphabetic characters pasted in alphabetical order were made by one of my seniors. It was four years ago. I remember that the senior sister asked for Participating in a word memorization competition, so I borrowed this dictionary. But the night before the competition, I jumped off the building and committed suicide." "Because the memory method summed up by my senior is very effective, when the competition is held every year, some people borrow this book, and most of them are girls. They take the dictionary back to the dormitory to read, and they die inexplicably in the dormitory of the foreign language department not long after. This year is the fourth year. This is an unwritten rule of the foreign language department. Everyone will not borrow this book in the corner of the library, let alone take it back to the female dormitory, because it is a book Cursed Death Dictionary!" I remembered that when I was constructing associative vocabulary, I thought of black words such as "death" and "shooting", and there was a murder case. Is there really a curse?Xiao Nai panicked, and moved away from the dictionary unnaturally. "It's a pity that you are still a half-foreigner, and your mind is full of superstitions." Lang Chuhong suddenly became serious, and he turned to Xiao Nai and said, "Psychologically speaking, the so-called curse is equivalent to a very powerful curse. The more terrifying the psychological suggestion, the stronger the psychological suggestion, and those horrible pictures will go deeper into the mind, and the psychological suggestion will be strengthened repeatedly. Just like you memorize words, the more interesting the memory method, the easier it is for you to remember the words Remember. For example, a familiar word can be associated with multiple new words. Radio is transmitted through 'radio', and the radio word radi (o) ray, radiation, which is associated with radant radiant, radium radium (radioactive element) , radius radius (the radiation line from the center of the circle to the circumference). The commonness of these words all have the function of rays and radiation.” "Another example: from the radio radi (o) to the radi (c) root (the root of the plant is radial), and thus think of the radical, the foundation; the radix root; , etc. And this idea is tree-like, and the words of the tree are thought of, and other things are thought of through the tree. This is the 'memory deep planting'. Many things can be remembered through deep planting, not just words. And This kind of repeated deep planting is actually continuously deepening the psychological suggestion. This is a reason.” Lang Chuhong paused, and said: "Similarly, interesting methods can deepen memory. And constructions such as horror, death, blood, sadness, and sorrow can deepen psychological hints and remember some content more firmly. The word death, because of its deep meaning makes it easier to remember the word." Xiao Nai cleared his throat and said, "As long as I don't think about it, and don't automatically strengthen any psychological hints, I won't be able to form a curse that represents 'terror construction'. By the way, what's the discovery of the murder case?" Wei Wei seemed to have thought of something, and said anxiously: "I just saw the dead man's expression was very strange before he was shot." She gestured with her hand and sighed, "It seems that the murderer started to panic when he got within five meters of him. Even his feet moved, facing the door, proving that he was in a hurry to run. Is that so?" She looked at Lang Zhuoyang at the side. Rubbing her head lovingly with his hands, Lang Chuhong smiled and said: "Learn quickly. That's it. If a person's panic is real, then his panic expression will only last for two or three seconds. There are only two possibilities for maintaining a panicked expression: one is extreme panic, and the other is pretending. The deceased’s expression at that time was very strange, as if he was waiting for someone, so he paid close attention to the people passing by him, which also proved that He was very vigilant. Once the murderer appeared, he had a relaxed expression on his face. I also thought he had waited for his companion. Then a strange thing happened, he showed a panicked expression, It proves that the killer was either someone he was waiting for, or he knew the killer was going to hurt him. Either way, the killer was someone he knew." "Let's talk about the murderer again. It's a woman." As soon as these words came out, Lang Chuhong retorted: "Why are you so sure that the murderer is a woman? It's because he is not tall, slender, and has tied-up hair under his peaked cap!" Lang Chuhong's words refuted Xiao Nai Have no power to fight back. "When the murderer passed by two boys, he was attracted by their loud discussion, because usually only boys like things like Land Rover, weapons and equipment, and gun battles; moreover, the murderer didn't struggle to hold a gun, and the gun was very heavy. It is very difficult for a woman who is not a special profession to hold a gun, let alone a shot in the heart, so accurate. Another point, he is also very calm to leave with a gun. So I guess the other party is a man, and the hair is tied or something, just to disturb Everyone's eyes." Lin Weiwei was taken aback. Lang Chuhong was never a sloppy person. Why did he just look at the corpse casually this time before drawing conclusions?What is he hiding from everyone?Although he majored in psychology, he probably didn't notice it himself. When he spoke just now, he touched his neck. This is a nervous expression of lying... "I've been looking for this book for a long time. This Land Rover is not bad." Stephen smacked his lips and sighed, with an exaggerated expression and cute appearance, which diluted everyone's gloom a lot. "How long will it take for the police to come?" Some students around have already started to complain, and everyone is afraid of the murderer hidden in the crowd. Lang Chuhong smiled imperceptibly, and explained: "I encountered a serious traffic accident on the road, and the expressway was blocked. And the landslide on the other side has to find another way to come here. This place is located in the suburbs, and it may not be until 8 o'clock in the evening. to arrive." Everyone didn't want to stay with the corpse, so they all left the leisure area and hid in other areas.Those who should eat, those who should read books, are doing the same things as usual, as if the murder never happened. "Students are so indifferent, it's time to suggest that the school set up a quality education class." Sitting in the library area, Lang Chuhong sighed silently, still thinking about the case just now. "Actually, at the murder scene, there is a half chance that the murderer will return to the scene to confirm the situation." Lang Chuhong analyzed. "The murderer is really calm." Xiao Nai paused and said, "Because of that incident, I didn't eat much at noon. It's almost 8 o'clock now, so I'll go eat first." She said "Huh", but Stephen was gone up. "He's going back to change clothes." Lang Chuhong answered for him, "Hurry up and come back." Because you have to go through the leisure area to buy food, so Xiao Nai saw the dead body lying on the ground in the empty leisure area at a glance.She panicked, lowered her head and quickened her pace.I thought to myself, if Stephen was here, he would definitely buy food for her.Why did he think of him again, Xiao Nai felt ashamed and annoyed himself. The lights suddenly went out, and the whole Fengyu Hall was pitch black.There is a huge thunder rolling in the sky, and it is going to rain.There is an aisle away from the corpse, even if Xiao Nai doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, he becomes afraid.Just as he was about to run, a bolt of lightning flashed by the window, illuminating the corpse on the ground that was about to get up. "Ah—" Xiao Nai stumbled and ran back and forth, returning to the library area after some bumps and bumps.It was pitch black there too, and all the people who were still sitting and reading had disappeared.Lang Chuhong and Weiwei also disappeared. With a sound of "whoosh", a green light jumped out of the darkness.She tried her best to calm down, and walked towards the green light, her hand touched a hard object wrapped in green light, which was a book sealed in a cowhide case. The cover of this book is actually fluorescent, Xiao Nai's heart beats fast, he opens his eyes wide to see, almost frightened to death.It was the dictionary of death.And on the page that was opened, someone drew a picture with a highlighter, a dead man's head covered in blood. Through such a horrible perspective picture, the entire page marked on the dictionary has more than ten words. I remembered it in seconds.What makes people's memory so deep is that all the words on this page are related to death, murder, pain, shadow, and panic.This method is also marked in the dictionary by the dead senior sister. Unable to bear the shock any longer, Xiao Nai tried his best to run towards the exit: "It's okay, there is no dictionary, no death curse, nothing." She muttered, her feet stopped in an instant, and a gray suit The windbreaker flashed by, and the vertical collar covered the lips. Although he was not wearing a hat, his profile, his back, his figure, and walking posture merged with the memory in his mind instantly, and he was the murderer. The scariest thing is that she knows the murderer!She stepped back step by step, and the lightning illuminated each other. Obviously, he also found her, and walked towards her with a smile: "What's wrong?" That conversation flashed through my mind. "Zhuoyang, I will fight with you when I have time." He said to Lang Chuhong who was turning to the page of field equipment, "I remember when I was sent abroad as an exchange student in my sophomore year, I was with you in the Russian Forest Well, that military car is handsome, so a man feels special about driving a Land Rover, even if he can’t drive a real military armored car, he can still have fun with it.” Lightning lit up his eyebrows and eyes again, and his smile grew stronger. It's weird.Seeing her backing away, he straightened up the collar of his shirt and said, "Did you find something?" In the blink of an eye, Xiao Nai's mind was spinning quickly, he steadied himself, and said with a smile, "Let's go find Lang Chuhong, once the power goes out, this place will make people even more panicky." She feigned panic and jumped forward to hold him His hand, "Scared to death, the body is still lying in the leisure area outside." Stephen shook the hand on his arm, it was cold, he smiled and led her out.The moment he looked up, Xiao Nai saw a fleeting, metaphorical smile on his face, that kind of smile was very weird. For safety, she has buried all her doubts deeply.But he "sneered": "It's unnatural, don't you think?" His smile was completely different from the previous hearty smile. "What?" She pretended not to understand. "You're clearly full of questions, and why don't you think it's fake with such a strong temper like you?" He rested his chin on one hand, pretending to think, "Well, unless you feel that you are in danger at the moment." Unconsciously retracting his hand, Xiao Nai takes a step back: "What are you talking about?" There is still a far-fetched smile on his face. "I like gun battles very much. Well, every time I form a team, my results are the best. For a person with no special occupation, it is not difficult for me to shoot. Is it clear enough?" Stephen clasped his hands In the shape of a gun, shoot a shot at the night sky. Applause suddenly sounded, and a light flashed outside the door.It was Lang Chuhong standing by the door, Xiao Nai ran towards Lang Chuhong recklessly, regardless of whether Stephen behind him would shoot her. "How did you find me?" Stephen was a little surprised. Lang Chuhong's tone was lazy: "I seem to have said it from the beginning, there is a half chance that the murderer will return to the crime scene to observe the situation." Because of Lang Chuhong's presence, Xiao Nai is also more courageous Get up: "Although you pretended to be a girl on purpose, you still showed your flaws. At that time, I only cared about bickering with you. Now that I think about it, the smallest detail has become the key to solving the case." Seeing Stephen frowned, guessing he didn't understand, Xiao Nai cleared his throat and said, "You are a fan of Land Rover, camouflage uniforms, and gunfights, so when you accidentally heard a boy talk, you instinctively wanted to pay attention. Then I remembered When I mentioned that the murderer would change his attire, you were still walking forward at the other end of the corridor of time. It was impossible for you to hear what I said before, because my voice was not loud and the distance was so far away. When you get close to the source of my voice, all you can hear is me proposing to find the gun. And when you argue with me, you say, 'Then where should the girl transform?' How do you know the murderer is a woman, Unless the murderer is you!" "Papa papa." The applause sounded again, but this time it was Stephen's clap, "You are really smart." He then turned to Lang Chuhong, "Don't you have anything to say?" Lang Chuhong said directly: "From the moment I saw you walking from the crowd, I felt that your expression was very strange. You clearly woke you up by yelling about what happened, but when you saw the corpse, you showed a disturbing expression. An imperceptible smile. You have this smile because you are confident and you have achieved your goal. Besides, your marksmanship has always been good, and you have lived in the United States, because your father does not want you to forget your mother tongue. When I was 18 years old, I brought you back to learn Chinese as a foreign language, with the purpose of improving your Chinese level. In the United States, everyone can own a pistol. When I first met you in Russia, I found that you had gunpowder in your hand. It is proof that a shot was fired. And the deceased was shot in the heart, killed by a single shot, so accurate, so I immediately thought of you." "It's a wonderful reasoning. It's not in vain for me to work hard and become a bad guy." Looking at the calm expressions and strange words of Lang Chuhong and Stephen, Xiao Nai didn't understand why, and was worried that Stephen would attack them, but Stephen strode towards the mortuary, but Lang Chuhong didn't stop him, nor did he To think of ways to deal with it. Seeing that Xiao Nai was still in a daze, Stephen turned his head, showing cute dimples, and whistled at her: "Come along and watch the show." I saw Stephen kicking the corpse unambiguously, muttering non-stop: "Get up." "What's going on?" Xiao Nai covered his mouth in disbelief. Lang Chuhong coughed playfully, and a smile appeared on his lips: "This is a prank in the department, how can the police be so irresponsible, there is a murder case, and it is now past 8:00 and still not arrive." Xiao Nai was even more at a loss, his mouth opened into an O shape, very cute.Stephen shrugged helplessly and spread his hands, looking like a rascal: "The school should have notified you earlier, Zhuoyang." "When I saw the school doctor was also smiling, I felt something was wrong. Then when I was about to check the 'corpse', the school doctor gave me a wink, and then I felt the pulse of the 'corpse'. He was fine at all, very healthy. Woolen cloth." "What the hell are you guys talking about?" Xiao Nai couldn't hold back any longer, and roared and broke out. "This is a very popular game in foreign countries. For example, in a shopping mall or in a restaurant, when everyone is relaxing and busy with their own affairs, someone suddenly comes in and kills the crowd, then hides and asks everyone to find the 'real culprit' .It is equal to a publicity campaign to increase popularity, to attract more people to play and eat in the mall. Some people even set up a murder bar for this purpose, using this as the theme to find out the 'murderer'. And the Department of Foreign Languages ​​is conducting such an experiment , because people's psychological calm index is generally very high, and they will not be scared so easily, so this game is unfolded in the storm hall, and Stephen is the student who plays the 'murderer'. If the department wants to see who is the most talented, just I will recommend him to participate in reasoning contests held by universities in many countries. I think I recommend Xiao Nai, and there should be no objection." As soon as the words were finished, many students came out from the dark place. They had never thought of who the murderer was, and were at a loss for what to do about it. Only Xiao Nai came out to make a suggestion when the incident happened. "Did the school tell you who the murderer is?" Stephen asked. "No, it's just that the school doctor told me about the event later, and let me guess who the murderer is." "No wonder you didn't panic at all when you saw the 'corpse', and there was a smile on your face." Xiao Nai finally let out a breath, Lang Chuhong is not a cold-blooded and numb person. "Hey, how long are you going to pretend!" Xiao Nai's unruly and willful young lady lost her temper again, kicking the classmate who was still pretending to be a dead body. Lang Chuhong looked at her with a slight smile, he knew that although Xiao Nai was still a bit domineering, she had been working hard to change, she finally realized the value of family affection, and she was willing to let go of her arrogance and be tolerant to others, It just takes time to wear off her bad temper. Suddenly, there was a noise from the crowd, because bright blood came out from the chest of the "corpse", and the strong smell of blood filled the entire leisure area.Lang Chuhong squatted down and called the student. When he looked up, his face was pale, but he said calmly, "He's dead." There is a thick bloody dictionary beside him, it is the death dictionary! "It's not me!" Stephen shook his hands in protest, although he was surprised but still looked calm.Xiao Nai took a breath, looked at him in surprise, somewhat distrustful. "He was just killed, so the blood is still bleeding. Cause of death: A small iron stick with a pointed tip was inserted near the heart, which was used to smear sauce, but it was strange that the insertion was not too deep, and it had avoided the heart In the middle, if you find it in time, you can be rescued." Lang Chuhong checked calmly. Because of the two frights, a large group of students dispersed in all directions, all of them looked sad.Following Lang Chuhong's example, Xiao Nai squatted down to look carefully, and finally found biscuit crumbs on the ground. "Because I have to pretend to be dead here for a long time, the deceased Liu Ying would secretly eat some biscuits when no one is passing by." Seemingly seeing Xiao Nai's doubts, he added. Seeing Lang Chuhong frowning, Xiao Nai hastily pulled him aside and asked carefully, "Is there anything else I found?" "This kind of biscuit is an imported food in original packaging, and it has not been sold in China yet." Lang Chuhong showed Xiao Nai a small bag of biscuits taken out of Hu Ying's breast pocket, which was marked in German. Just as he was about to translate it, Stephen stepped forward and snatched the wrapping paper. As if he wanted to make up for his mistake, he said angrily, "This kind of biscuit has a strong fragrance, melts in the mouth, and can fill the stomach. But the fragrance is easy to attract A kind of bee is poisonous to sting. Therefore, it is recommended not to eat it outdoors, and rinse your mouth with salt water after eating, it will be safe and harmless..." The explanation broke here, and Lang Chuhong frowned even more when he heard it, and he continued Looking carefully through the packaging bag, he ignored Stephen's yelling: "This comma is really strange. It seems that there are follow-up paragraphs in this German sentence that have not been marked." Lang Chuhong carefully scratched the letters with his nails, and unexpectedly A piece of thin paper scraps of the same color with a few fine wear marks was dropped, and the German sentence appeared again, "But you can't dip it in honey when you eat it, otherwise it will easily attract evil bees." Xiao Nai was so clever, he immediately pulled Stephen to look around, while Lang Chuhong re-examined the body.When Tang and Shi came back from near the small river in Area B, they still had a small plastic box with some honey left in their hands. "There was a sting on the head of the corpse, which was blocked by the hair, so it was not found during the first inspection. Because this kind of biscuit is very fragrant and delicious, and easy to fill the stomach, many people bought it even if it was dangerous." Because Lang Chuhong rushed to answer his question before he could say it, Stephen curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "It's courageous to risk your life to eat puffer fish." "Fake foreign devils, this is puffer fish? You're out of your mind." Xiao Nai rolled his eyes, and said, "This kind of cake is expensive, and Liu Ying's family is good. No wonder she couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, but she died instead." She analyzed , "Because of being stung by a bee, the pain was unbearable, and the iron rod was inserted into the atrium by mistake. The insertion was not deep, and he survived if he was rescued in time, but the death was unexpectedly accelerated due to the toxin of the bee." "It seems accidental, but don't ignore the scraps of paper I picked out. Although this thin scrap of paper is very realistic, just like the words on the wrapping paper bag that seem to have been worn away early, it still leaves a flaw." "Can you find fingerprints from the scraps of paper?" Xiao Nai asked anxiously. "Most of them are wearing gloves, but it's hard to say. After all, this method requires very delicate techniques, and it may not be easy to operate with gloves on. Moreover, this packaging bag should have passed through the hands of several people. According to inference, the murderer should be familiar with Liu Ying. So you can tamper with the food packaging. Liu Ying should be eating it for the first time, so I don’t know that I can’t dip it in honey. It’s understandable that the expensive price and special fragrance of the biscuits attracted him to buy and try.” The wrapping paper in his hand was taken by the police officer who had just arrived.Lang Chuhong said lightly: "Brother, the fingerprints of both Tang and Shi are printed on it." "It's okay. Fingerprints can be separated. As long as there are fingerprints of the murderer, we can definitely find them." The policeman did a simple operation on the side, "This scratch needs to be scraped with a small wire. This is not an accident, it is deliberate and man-made, and it has been carefully considered and prepared." Lang Chuhong nodded, expressing his agreement. After thinking for a while, he whispered something in the policeman's ear. The policeman Xiaohuang's face darkened, and he replied with an "um". "Can't we listen to what you whispered?" Xiao Nai was a little unhappy. Xiao Huang interrupted Lang Chuhong: "Student Shi, someone saw you helping Liu Ying pick up a postal package yesterday." Hearing this, Stephen became anxious, his flushed face turned pale, and he was anxious to defend: "Yes, I concealed my acquaintance with him, but it was only because I was afraid that you would suspect me. Since I didn't do it, I just thought that one more thing would be better than one less thing. Besides, the school informed Liu Ying and I Play this play, let me play the murderer, I just 'act', I did not kill!" "You are very smart. You only said these words now to cover up your purpose of breaking into the leisure area without permission just now." "I didn't, no!" Stephen waved his arms and yelled at Xiao Huang, "I knew you would all target me. I came back just now, but I wanted to discuss with Liu Ying and let him be patient for a while, I Come to check, let him eat the biscuit first and put it on the bottom, and it was dark with no lights on, I couldn't see him dipping it with honey at all." "That mailbag is mine at all. Because there are props for this event, such as the red syrup from the first fake shot, the fake gun that is almost fake, and my windbreaker that can cover half of my face. They are all props. , but I was in charge of ordering. At that time, I was temporarily called to the department to discuss the event, so it was Liu Ying who ordered it according to my suggestion, and ordered it in Liu Ying's name, so when the goods arrived, I I took his ID card to get it. Because I had to hold the dead body for a long time, I bought this kind of biscuit that can satisfy my hunger, but I know that as long as I drink the salt water after it, nothing will happen. The kind of biscuit The fragrance is really fragrant and delicious, so Liu Ying gave me money after tasting a small box yesterday and bought the whole pack. I confiscated his money. This biscuit has the effect of compressed biscuits but not like compressed biscuits It clogs the intestines and stomach, so it is popular abroad. Its weight is not much, there are only five pieces in a pack, and the small long grid is one piece." Stephen explained anxiously. Xiao Nai sniffed the packaging bag carefully, and found that it was indeed very fragrant, and the fragrance completely overwhelmed the light and sweet fragrance of honey. "Did you remind Liu Ying that this kind of biscuit should not be dipped in honey?" "Of course, I also told him to bring a small bottle of salt water with him." Stephen spoke quickly. “根据反馈回来的记录，你很喜欢吃这种饼干，你的宿舍里就有几个空袋子。你会介绍给刘颖吃，是因为你知道这种饼干的香味浓郁，完全可以遮盖过蜂蜜的香味。”小黄步步紧逼。 “不是，不是这样的。”史蒂芬完全急疯了。 “所以你往原本装着番茄酱的佐料盒子里加入了蜂蜜水，将其混合，再在黑暗中让刘颖吃下。你担心毒蜂的毒素不足以致命，所以狠下心来把蘸佐料的铁棒子拿过，猛地扎进刘颖的心脏处。刘颖因为和你熟悉没有反抗就中击了，但因漆黑视野不好和他放在胸前的最后一道饼干挡了你的力道，那处伤算不得致命伤。而你为了延长毒蜂的毒素发作时间，又故意跑来吓唬我，想试探我知道多少。”肖奈接口说下去。 “不是！我和他无冤无仇，我怎么可能会在他的佐料里下蜂蜜。那只小佐料盒子昨天就开过了，刘颖新交了女朋友，他对她宝贝得不得了，什么好的都要和她分享，趁着还是白天可自由进出女生公寓，昨天下午他就带了饼干去她那里吃。因我刚好需要女生用的扎发橡皮筋，所以我也跟着去了。我看见他俩当时就分吃了两片，还开了佐料盒子。剩下的两片，刘颖今天带进了休闲区里，七点多那样子我陪着他吃了一片，还剩一片在袋子里。至于佐料盒子，我一直没注意到。” 朗楚宏拍了拍肖奈的肩膀，微笑道：“别逗他了，他确实没有动机。”他的声音不大，在场的全是警员，所以他放心地把以下的话说了出来。 “有问题的不是佐料盒子，而是混了蜂蜜进去的血浆，而且是在他心脏处被刺进铁棍子时，凶手把放了蜂蜜的血浆倒在了刘颖不断涌出鲜血的伤口处。其实凶手多此一举了，因为刘颖是下午时用的假血包，血包有问题的话，下午就引来毒蜂了。而这一点史蒂芬不是凶手不知道情况，所以仍然一直纠结于佐料盒子上。”朗楚宏把从警员那里得到的情况对他俩说了。他不过是和肖奈联手，试一试史蒂芬。 “那为什么凶手要把佐料盒扔到那么远的地方，而不留在原地。”史蒂芬使劲挠了挠头。 “蠢啊！”肖奈戳他脑袋，“凶手就是要制造出许多疑点扰乱视线嘛。其实还有一个原因，假血浆一般是用红色糖浆做的，凶手一定是以为糖浆的糖粉和蜂蜜的成分差不多，加入了蜂蜜的量是检查不出来的，所以被带走的佐料盒迷惑了我们。其实经过警员一验证，马上就露出破绽了。而本想丢进河里的佐料盒因为凶手的匆忙，只是被扔在了河边的碎石缝里，那里没有水，所以保留了证据，那只塑料小盒里只是随意地抹了一点蜂蜜在盒壁上，分量根本不足以引来毒蜂。而用作凶器的铁棍子，本来是用来涂抹佐料的，但佐料盒里蜂蜜极少，所以铁棍子是在凶手倒进第二包假血浆时，腻上了血浆里的蜂蜜而留了下来，造成大家以为：这根铁棍子上沾的蜂蜜，是刘颖以铁棍子从佐料盒里撩出加了大量蜂蜜的番茄酱而留下的。刘颖被饼干的浓香盖住了嗅觉，没有察觉出蜂蜜的味道来。而铁棍子引来了毒蜂，他被咬中毒，出现幻觉，奇痛难忍，最后错手把铁棍子插进了心脏附近，失救而亡。凶手想制造的就是这一种效果。” 凶手究竟是谁？为什么会对他们的行动了如指掌！肖奈和史蒂芬变得沉默。史蒂芬虽然在侦探推理方面不在行，但他体格倒是不错的，他握住了肖奈的手，用力紧了紧，让她别太担心。 闪电一亮，史蒂芬的目光所及，刚好看见一边的椅脚处有什么东西在泛出亮光。他赶紧走了过去。 雨一直在下，风狂雷响，风雨堂里人迹寥落，肖奈不自觉地打了个寒战，她感到冷。许是内急憋得久了，肖奈不好意思说出口，也就趁着大家不注意溜了出去。 这么冷，还是加件衣服吧。这么多警察在附近，谅凶手也不敢乱来。心里如是想着，出了厕所，肖奈就朝B区的外语系女生宿舍跑去。 “咚——咚——”钟声突然敲响，在夜雨里沉闷回荡，漆黑萧瑟中竟有种恐怖的意味。 她赶紧穿过钟塔，往斜上的阴暗的狭窄楼梯跑去。过了这里就可以到达女生公寓楼啦。我不认识凶手，压根不知道是谁，凶手没有杀我的动机嘛，别瞎担心了！肖奈一边跑一边给自己打气。 另一边，史蒂芬捡起来的原来是一张被椅脚扣住，撕剩一半的小卡片，因为卡片上沾上了蜂蜜，所以才会折射出水性的光泽。这不就是有资格送去参加国际记单词大赛的入场券吗，肖奈也有一张的，所以才会借这部记单词效果超好的死亡词典。 似抓住了什么东西，史蒂芬拼命地想，但还是差了一步。看着地上沾了血的死亡词典，史蒂芬忙扯过了朗楚宏：“我记得刘颖也取得了参加国际记单词大赛的资格。”顺势把那半边卡片递给了朗楚宏。 朗楚宏并没有接，而是让一旁的小黄用钳子夹起，放进了证物袋。朗楚宏盯着证物袋出神，忽然望向四周：“肖奈？” 肖奈不在！ “我们赶紧去找肖奈，她有危险！”朗楚宏拉了史蒂芬急忙跑进了暴雨里。史蒂芬尽管不明白朗楚宏的想法，也不清楚目前究竟发生了什么，但他绝不容许肖奈有事。 楼道里实在太黑了，这该死的天气！8点时的电制跳闸，导致一片漆黑。尽管有后备电，但也仅供风云堂前使用，因为警员在现场查案。而过道里仅剩一盏暗红的旧灯盏照明，走出5米，一切就昏暗了。 肖奈小心翼翼地打开了宿舍的门，冷风一下子涌进了门面。把米黄色的棉绒大衣裹了裹身体，她探头往长廊里瞧了瞧，只余风雨声。她嘘出了一口气，正要关门，脚却踢到了什么硬物，“啪嗒”一声就闪出油绿的光泽来。 竟是那本厚重的死亡词典！ 一颗心提到了喉头上，因停电早睡下的室友嚷嚷道：“冷，快关门。”一阵风猛地刮过，宿舍门“嘭”一声自动关上了，她被晾在了黑暗里。 远处的灯只剩一点暗红的影，歪歪斜斜、模模糊糊地晃动着。肖奈一脚踢开了那本字典向十多米开外的楼梯走去。她并非胆小，但明知凶手随时会出现，危险无刻不在，那颗心早已骇到了极点：“真不该仗着自己胆大，偷偷跑出来。”她小声嘀咕着。 眼看着就快到楼梯了，七八米处暗红的破灯盏下团了一团模糊的影子。who?肖奈身子猛一抽搐，一股寒流像触电一般划过全身。闪电亮起，从楼梯尽头处大开的窗户闪过，一摊水迹从窗台延伸至灯盏所能晕亮之处。 那里晕着一摊水迹，肖奈已能听到一滴一滴，慢慢滴落的水滴声。她退后了几步，猛一抬头，闪电耀亮了那团影子，黑暗中唯一道莹白的脸面浮在半空。那张脸无比的白，白得不似活人的脸，那团影子无声无息，没有人的气息。 房顶的灯盏一晃，浮在半空的脸消失了。 肖奈再也忍不住，以百米冲刺的速度跑过长廊，没有碰到任何人和鬼！她什么也想不到，只管从那道狭长的楼梯上跑下去，以期能找到出口。 闪电微微映亮了沿着楼梯延伸的一边墙壁，肖奈稍一抬头，便看见她身后的墙壁上紧跟着一个影子。肖奈一吓之下跑得更快了。那是我的影子，当然跟在身后了！肖奈念念有词，只管着往下跑。马上就到二楼了，转出去就是钟楼了。 quick!她的脑海里只有这一个念头，一声巨大无比的惊雷炸起，紧跟着一道又长又亮的闪电快速划过半边天空，映亮了整段楼梯，随着光亮，肖奈扬起头，竟看到了她的身后，紧跟的影子，手上握着一把刀。 “啊——”一声长嘶，肖奈跑得飞快的身子似断了线的风筝，滑了脚，猛地一头扎进黑暗的深渊，那一声叫凄厉无比。 黑暗中突然变得了无声息，肖奈连一声呻吟也没有，就在滚落楼梯时摔断了脖子，即时死亡？只待片刻消停，一道尖锐诡异的笑声踏着风雨声而来，似哭似笑，若有似无。浮在半空的脸一闪，竟向楼下飘进了两米，它正要去查探它的猎物，却听到了脚步声，它一隐，没于黑暗中。 换了衣服的肖奈从钟楼边上跑过，向C区奔去。她裹了件暗绿色的雨衣，在黑暗里前行，如迷了路，四处游荡的孤魂野鬼。 方才在她一出宿舍门时，一只惨白的手透过黑暗向她袭来，她吓得正要喊出声，却被捂住。肖奈以为自己是死定了，连挣扎也忘了。耳边忽然一热，传来极轻的嗤笑：“一心立志要做外交官的女强人也会忘了挣扎？难道是同时背多国单词，记忆力混乱，变傻了。”原来是史蒂芬，提着的一颗心终于放了下来。正奇怪他为什么会说这句话时，他低声问了句，“刘颖的国际记单词大赛的入场券，系里何时发放的？” 听出他语速里的急切，聪明如肖奈也是长话短说，声音极轻：“他是最后选上，入场券还未发下。”史蒂芬紧搂着她的腰，她纤细柔软的身子贴在了他的身上，他感到了一阵燥热，手不自觉地往她的锁骨摸去，骨肉匀停，细腻温润，让他不觉红了脸，再不愿她离开他。 对于史蒂芬无意识的轻薄，肖奈并没有拒绝。对于要强的她还是头一回，肖奈说不出此刻是何心情，只是庆幸黑夜，藏住了她满脸的红。 身体忽地一冷，脖子上的力道也松开了，只听史蒂芬“嘻”的一声调笑，连肖奈也觉心情轻快了许多：“你的身子真软真香。” 饶是暧昧如此，肖奈也是忍不住轻笑了起来：“臭美短，你真不害臊。”她知道，他在美国长大，男女之防一向没有，故而会大胆赞叹女性的身体。 她还想说什么，唇却被一片薄凉却又满是炽热的唇瓣吻住，并不深，只是轻轻一触便放开了。他说：“我喜欢你，也知道你喜欢我。眼下有些危险，你那么聪明也该料到了，这起案子的受害者绝不止刘颖一个那么简单，最终的目标是你。长话短说，你别怕，按我说的去做……” 她满身都是被宠坏了的坏脾气，所以有人讨厌她，她是知道的。其实经过了林薇薇“梦中杀人”事件后，她已经改了许多。回想当初，她那样对薇薇，不过是因为她太骄傲、太任性，她害怕薇薇越来越漂亮的容貌、越来越优异的成绩终会得到爸爸的青睐，取代自己。 她不过是个任性的女孩子，而史蒂芬却能包容她全部的缺点，并比她更霸道地说：“我喜欢你，也知道你喜欢我。”想着，肖奈忍不住笑了，“最后一句话，你是怎么上来的？” “我是攀岩高手，区区四层楼根本难不倒我。”史蒂芬回头指了指身后紧关的窗户和拉上了的黑布帘，肖奈明白，史蒂芬是想借黑暗掩盖住他俩刚才谈话的一幕。而她走出不远，便遇到了飘浮着的白脸。 正想着，那张脸便在水面上浮出。The rain has stopped.并非是它浮在了水面上，而是跟着她身后的脸，倒映在了水里。 脚下一滑，肖奈往水里扎去。这个小河畔其实就是个荷塘，水深两米，满是枯萎了的冬荷枝叶相纠缠。而她不会游泳！ “你究竟是谁！”肖奈拼命往岸边草丛抓去。 “你不关心你的心上人吗？”怪腔怪调向她袭来，腿上一紧，被它往水下拖去。靠得近了，肖奈才发现，那不过是戴了白面具的人，一身黑衣，唯脸上煞白，所以躲在黑暗里时，瞧不见他的身体。 “他掉下了楼梯里，脖子'咔嚓'一声断了，死了。你以为单凭你们那点小伎俩，就能瞒过我？” “他和你无冤无仇，你怎能如此？”声音哽咽，再也说不出话来，此刻的肖奈满脑子皆是他嬉皮赖脸的笑。身体一沉，连头也被对方抵住了。眼看就要没顶，水“哗”地分开，朗楚宏扔掉了吸气用的芦苇管，反手一扣，已把对方摁倒在水里。面具被一把掀开，竟是个女孩子。 “你是西班牙语专业的马萧？”肖奈急喘着气，无力地捂住胸口，突然眼睛一亮，忙求道：“朗楚宏，你告诉我，他没事！” 朗楚宏迎着盈盈水光，微微地笑了：“他没事。” 是朗楚宏设下了圈套，逮住了这只危险的猎物。“当我看见那张入场券、再联想到词典，我就知道她的目标是你。” “为什么会这样？”肖奈依旧茫然。 “警方那边在你回去换衣服时，问校方要到了参加这次大赛的学生名单。就是你、刘颖和牛莉三人。牛莉已经提前去了英国报到，你也在下个星期准备出发，而刘颖和马萧是候补人员，最后校方定了刘颖，所以刘的入场券仍未发下来。但作为刘颖半个月前新交的女朋友马萧，对刘颖的一切动向想必是很清楚的，所以策划了这一起谋杀。原因很简单，只是为了一场'无关紧要'的比赛。”朗楚宏回答。 “什么'无关紧要'？”被制服在地的马萧疯狂地扭动着身躯，“凭什么总是他们可以去。我不可以去，凭什么！” “就凭你比不过他们！”朗楚宏沉声喝道。彻底毁掉马萧的幻想，朗楚宏知道这样做很危险，但却是帮助马萧最好的方法。 肖奈不明所以地看着，隐约觉察出朗楚宏的问话方式有些奇怪。 “是我，是我杀了他们！”马萧大叫一声，忽然变得安静。埋伏好的警员上前把她带走。 “究竟是怎么一回事？难道人命比不过一场大赛？” “史蒂芬提过，他的学姐莫莉当年用了一种方法来记单词，但接触过那本词典的人都出了事。而马萧就是其中之一，她准备了三年，也进不了那个大赛，所以读了那本词典。那本词典有莫莉根据利玛窦《记忆之宫》做的记单词笔记。但莫莉用错了方法，以为令人恐惧的东西有助记忆，所以最终使自己走火入魔，从宿舍窗户跳了下去。学校当时不知道原因，不然一定会取回那部书的。马萧为了赢得比赛，也读了那部书，造成精神混乱，上年曾进了医院，只是没想到，她根本没有完全好。”朗楚宏捡起了刚才从马萧鞋子下掉下的半张入场券，递给了法证科的小黄，“多亏了它，这才是破案的关键。” 小黄看了看，道：“上面的蜂蜜和刘颖尸体上，还有案发现场椅脚处留下的半张一样，是马萧伪造的以为是她自己的入场券。” 这起案子终于完结，但愿马萧的惨案别再发生，也愿死者安息。肖奈抹去了眼角的泪水，笑着往史蒂芬住院的方向走去。
