Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen Literary Murder

Situ and Jun Ze went to Mo Fei's office and home respectively, both were empty, and they went to Meng Die's house again, and Meng Die's house was empty.The two wanted to continue looking, but they didn't know where to go, so they had to stay at Meng Die's house to sort out the clues. "Could it be, why don't you turn on your phone?" Jun Ze fiddled with the phone impatiently. "Private time, he should be with Meng Die." "Now is an extraordinary time, even if you have a date, you should keep in touch." "Mr. Fu, half an hour ago we all thought the murderer had been caught." Situ said indifferently.

Jun Ze felt wronged and stopped talking. "Accordingly, we have investigated all the people involved in the Lingyutang case. Could it be that the murder case is not related to Lingyutang?" Situ calmed down and reconsidered the case. "Impossible," Jun Ze shook his head, "There must be something that we have overlooked." "Excluding you and An Ran, even the motive for the murder has to be reconsidered." Situ also sat down. "I have a feeling that the murderer has always been by our side, and his pace is completely consistent with ours. Also, I feel that we have gone in the wrong direction. Motivation is a very abstract and internal thing. It exists In the heart of the murderer, but we may not be able to see it, so we can deduce it. Should we start from a more practical point of view to infer the identity of the murderer?"

"That's right," Situ said, "We pay too much attention to the subjective factors of the murderer, but ignore the objective conditions." "The usual objective factors of murder, including time, place and modus operandi." "There is only one person who can meet these three conditions at the same time." A person appeared in Situ's mind. "Meng Die!" Jun Ze also thought of that long-haired woman. Situ Nu pouted, "But if it's Meng Die, what's the motive?" "Love killing is impossible, and vendetta killing is ruled out, so we can only start from the perspective of the beneficiary of the case."

Situ tilted his head and thought for a while, then quickly frowned, "It's still possible if the crime is scattered. This is a serial murder. It's too difficult to benefit from seven people who have no interest at all?" "Besides, from the standpoint of the murderer, Meng Die seems to be too involved, which is illogical." Jun Ze also felt that there was a problem. Situ nodded in agreement, "Back then when you concealed the relationship between the deceased, it was Meng Die who first mentioned the Lingyutang lawsuit, and the direct result was our protection of Mo Fei. If she is the murderer, there is no need to do anything extra. "

"Also, in France, Meng Die got food poisoning, this is her only alibi." "Could it be her strategy to clear the suspicion?" Jun Ze shook his head, "There's no need, we no longer doubted her at that time, and she had a lot of chances to kill Mo Fei, we couldn't find evidence at all." "That's true, and she has nothing to do with Lingyutang's case, how could she just choose those few people to kill?" Situ frowned, "People who are fully capable of committing crimes have no motive at all." "Could it be that our vision is too narrow?" Jun Ze seemed to think of something, "Could it be that her motive has nothing to do with Lingyutang at all? It even has nothing to do with any of the dead."

"What could it be?" Situ was puzzled. "Think about it first, how did Meng Die get involved in this case in the first place?" Jun Ze started from the beginning. "It was you who discovered her connection to the six dead and suspected her of being the murderer." "In other words, she has been linked to the identity of the murderer from the very beginning." "But then the spearhead turned to Lingyutang's case." "But Meng Die still hasn't gotten out of this case." "That's because of her relationship with Mo Fei."

"Could it be that she was drawn into our sight." Jun Ze emphasized, "If Lingyutang's lawsuit is not exposed, we will continue to pursue Meng Die. On the contrary, pulling in a Mofei is tantamount to affixing a label to her. Security label." "Not only that, the case of Lingyutang also dragged out Jingjing, Anran and you," Situ connected everything, "and she is getting farther and farther away from being suspected of being the murderer." "She used Lingyutang's case as a shield. She is not afraid of our investigation. It proves that her murder purpose has nothing to do with this lawsuit itself." Jun Ze affirmed the previous speculation.

"If Ling Yutang's lawsuit is excluded, what benefits will the continuous death of these seven people bring to Meng Die?" Situ returned to the most core question. "Perhaps we can change our perspective. Killing is a subjective and active act, while the result of death is produced objectively. Can we not consider what benefits the deceased can bring to the murderer, but instead consider what the murderer wants to do when planning to kill? What benefit do you get from the dead?" "I have an idea!" Situ suddenly enlightened, "You said that killing is subjective, but the result is only objective, so could it be that what really benefits the murderer is not the killing of the dead, but only the murderer? Woolen cloth?"

"It's possible," Jun Ze's inspiration was inspired, "the murderer didn't benefit from the death, but from the murder." "Then what exactly is this 'benefit'?" Situ asked a new question. Jun Ze waved his hand, "Let's jump out of this case first, and think about it carefully, what can be called an interest for Meng Die." "Interests correspond to desires, and a person's desires can be divided into many types, including wealth, love, freedom, social identity, career..." Situ listed them one by one, suddenly stuck, with an unbelievable look on his face .

"What did you think of?" Jun Ze asked. "Crime novels," Situ even changed his voice, "she's writing serial murders!" Situ immediately rushed into Meng Die's study. "You won't be so perverted?" Jun Ze followed, "What are you looking for?" He saw Situ rummaging through boxes and boxes. "I've seen some typescripts of her novels at Murphy's. She has the habit of marking the dates." "It's a good habit." Jun Ze felt hopeful. "I should have thought of it long ago. Apart from you and An Ran, she is the only person who has the chance to know that the police have canceled the protection." Situ regretted his carelessness, "From the beginning to the end, there is no professional killer at all, or she is that professional killer. She She even let me touch her hair on purpose, what a bold woman."

"I found it, "Phantom Murder", the opening chapter, the date is July 10." Jun Ze said, pointing to the title and date on the manuscript. Situ's eyes widened all of a sudden, "It was before the murder happened." "Chapter 1, the date is July 19th!" "It was the day after the first murder case," Situ recalled. "But she has clearly described the characteristics of the wounds of the deceased, which is almost indistinguishable from the facts." Jun Ze continued to read, "Chapter Two, July 28." "It was before the second murder." Situ felt chilled. "Except for the names of the characters and the specific time and place, the modus operandi and the relationship between the characters are almost completely consistent with the facts." "It's terrible," Situ couldn't believe it. Suddenly, he saw a chapter title, ""The Last End", the article has not been written yet, but the date is marked on October 12." "It's tomorrow!" Jun Ze said. "I already have the topic, but the date is tomorrow. Does she plan to do it today?" "No, I have to find Mo Fei quickly!" "How to find it, Meng Die is the only one who can approach Mo Fei at zero distance, regardless of time and place." Situ suddenly felt helpless. Jun Ze raised his hand to look at his watch, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. "Apart from here and Mo Fei's house, do they have any other private properties?" "Meng Die should be gone, maybe, except for his house in Yuen Long..." Situ thought. "Yuen Long? Isn't his family in Kowloon?" "Impossible. I've lived there for a long time, so I can't be wrong." "Wait," Jun Ze thought of something, "I have dealt with the paint threat case at his house, I'm sure he has a house in Kowloon!" "What are you waiting for, don't hurry up." Situ pulled Junze and ran out. Candles, wine, music. perfect. Don't you just arrange the beautiful tablecloth and be proud of your little tricks. In the morning, Meng Die said that he would give him a surprise, but he pretended to be flattered, but in fact he was the planner of the surprise. Before dinner, he sent Meng Die away on the grounds of buying chocolates, and then arranged everything quickly. Of course, he also looked forward to the surprise that Meng Die gave him, but he didn't know what kind of surprise it was. At night, when viewed roughly, it is beautiful and quiet; when viewed carefully, it is empty and mysterious; when viewed intently, it is cold and eerie; when viewed carefully, it is dark and terrifying——
