Ch107 - Homicide Flower Shop (4) ― Candid Photographer

Sunnyshies:It’s late but, Thank you for the Kofi!Ko-fi SupporterandMaryanaLagoyda

After breakfast, Tao Su’an was sent back home by the police.

The police officers conducted a detailed inspection of his house with equipment and found a pinhole camera in the eye of the teddy bear in the living room, another one in the kitchen, and then at the bedroom respectively.

In addition to the pinhole cameras, five bugs were also found. It was unknown why the murderer didn’t install a camera in Su An’s bathroom, but installed two bugs instead; one hidden in the toilet and one hidden in the shower room. Whatever Tao Su’an did here would be heard by the other party.

This perverted behavior made the inspecting policemen look very unhappy. Su An was even more taken aback, he touched his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he didn’t masturbate after transmigrating.

Seeing his pale face, Old Liu wished he could catch the murderer behind him now. He angrily took the bag of cameras and bugs and went downstairs to the car. He then threw the things to Zong Nan, “Look, they are all there. Do you think the murderer is sick? What the hell else could he have done!”

Zong Nan looked at the screen. The young man with brown curly hair stood in front of the monitor and waved curiously.

In order to protect the target’s safety, they also installed surveillance cameras in hidden corners of Tao Su’an’s home. Of course, this was done with Tao Su’an’s consent.

Zong Nan said calmly: “Some people can’t control the animal desires in their hearts. They only do whatever they think of and entertain themselves by hurting others.” He looked at the big boy smiling sheepishly behind the camera, and seemed to see a luminous person standing alone in the darkness.

Such clean and bright flowers are always targets of perverts and criminals.

Old Liu said sullenly: “No matter how many times I try, I never understand what these murderers are thinking…the same goes for the last case. The husband of the deceased seemed to be kind and honest, and he was also a teacher. As a result, after the deceased said something to him, he stabbed the deceased one hundred and four times. When we arrested him, we also found a list of one hundred fantasies about killing his wife in his drawer. Who would have thought that such a person would usually have this idea?”

“So we don’t know what other people think,” Zong Nan started the car and said seriously, “We just need to see what they did in the end.” And, “Old Liu, don’t get into trouble.”

Old Liu: “I’m a veteran, I know it all by heart.” He sighed and whispered, “After I have my daughter, I just get angry when I see things like this.”

Zong Nan followed Yu Ping and Tao Su’an calmly.

Although he insists on justice, he cannot fail to see the darkness. The dark side has always existed, and people’s hearts are even more complicated. They don’t need to understand the criminal’s thinking. Human evil thoughts will always pop up at some point. As long as he doesn’t take measures, he can’t stop such evil thoughts.

All Zong Nan could do was to prevent himself from having evil thoughts.

In the swimming pool, Yu Ping followed Tao Su’an and looked around without leaving any trace.

There was a person in the water waving his hand vigorously to greet them, “Su An, come here!”

Tao Suan also waved his hand vigorously, “Okay, Qiao-Qiao!”

“This is my new friend Zhou Nan,” Xia Qiao introduced generously, “He is from the school next door to us and is a motorcycle enthusiast.”

Xia Qiao’s new friend means new boyfriend. Xia Qiao is gay and bent like a paper clip. He is famous in the circle for his fun skills. His friends change every two or three days, and Tao Su’an is used to it.

He also introduced Yu Ping politely, and Yu Ping smiled at them: “You guys, hello.”

Tao Su’an and Xia Qiao were on the swimming team. After Tao Su’an and Xia Qiao swam a lap to warm up, they came over to teach Yu Ping some swimming skills.

Yu Ping followed the leader’s instructions and chatted with Tao Su’an for a few words, trying his best to make him and Tao Su’an look closer. On the other side, some plainclothes people changed their clothes and acted as swimming pool staff, waiting patiently to see if the murderer would show up.

The characteristics revealed by the murderer are completely in line with the profiler’s speculation. Judging from his possessiveness towards the target person, Zong Nan does not believe that he will not appear.

Zong Nan put on his staff hat, lowered the brim, and walked into the swimming pool.

Only half of his chin was exposed. Although he was obviously tall, he kept a low profile and did not attract many people’s attention. He was guarding not far away from Tao Su’an and Yu Ping.

Tao Su’an stayed here for an hour, soaking until his fingers became wrinkled, but the plainclothes people didn’t notice anything wrong. The only option was to let Tao Su’an come up from the swimming pool and leave here first.

Xia Qiao and his new boyfriend had already gone to the entertainment area to play. After Tao Su’an said goodbye to them, he walked to the men’s bathroom accompanied by Yu Ping.

Tao Su’an’s steps became slower and slower. Although he didn’t speak, his eyes were a little evasive, and he was obviously still worried about being secretly photographed here last time.

Yu Ping was not good at soothing victims. He turned his face and covered his mouth, whispering, “Leader.”

Zong Nan sighed and taught Yu Ping how to speak sentence by sentence.

There was an unskilled stiffness in Yu Ping’s deliberately gentle voice, but the other person didn’t hear it. The sound in the earphones was very noisy. Zong Nan leaned against the wall in the shadows, with the shadow of his hat blocking the bridge of his nose. He felt a sense of sleepiness that he had not seen for a long time in the long-awaited conversation.

Zong Nan felt flattered for a moment. He didn’t dare to move, patiently enjoying the beauty of this sleepy feeling.

Forced sleep due to extreme exhaustion and spontaneous sleepiness are really two different things.

But sleepiness is something that appears on its own if he doesn’t look for it, and hides away when he looks for it. Zong Nan smiled bitterly and looked up. Tao Su’an had been comforted by him, or rather by Yu Ping. The shadow he had suffered did not leave a shadow on him. He smiled and thanked Yu Ping. The sun was shining brightly, his eyebrows were curved, and his brown curly hair fell playfully by his ears. That look, admiration and trust, was visible to the naked eye. Yu Ping got closer and closer.

Zong Nan has seen many people look like this. Ordinary people always have respect for the police, but there was very little pure and complete trust like Tao Su’an. It’s as if he’s not afraid when the police tell him he’s not afraid, and when the police tell him the past is the past, he takes it seriously as the past, weeds out the hurt he’s suffered, and grows with goodwill and cheerfulness.

Being looked at like this will make the person looked at feel that life is wonderful. Just like Yu Ping, he can’t help but puff up his chests and feel his heart burning.

Zong Nan touched his nose and said, “This kid…”

He was a little jealous.

After being comforted, Yu Ping sent Tao Su’an into the bathroom and waited outside. His eyes moved around and met Zong Nan’s eyes.

Zong Nan pressed the brim of his hat, and suddenly a cry came from the bathroom, and it was Tao Su’an’s voice.

The two of them changed their expressions and rushed to the bathroom. The next second, a man with a camera rushed out of the bathroom. He hurriedly knocked Yu Ping away and ran in the other direction. Yu Ping turned as fast as he could and quickly chased after him.

Zong Nan went to the bathroom. In the cubicle, Tao Suan held the showerhead with a pale face. When he saw him coming in, he subconsciously took a step back.

“It’s me,” Zong Nan took off his hat and raised his hand to calm his emotions, “We met last night, Zong Nan, do you still remember me? En?”

Su An looked at him blankly, then put down the shower in his hand as if he suddenly woke up, “…brother.”

Zong Nan keenly noticed something wrong, but these errors were like ripples mixed into the water, and even disappeared in an instant before he could catch it.

Zong Nan took the bath towel on the side and wrapped it around Tao Su’an. He led Tao Su’an to the sofa and sat down. He stroked the young man’s back and calmed him down quickly, “What happened?”

Su An’s lips turned blue and he lowered his head, “I was taking a shower, and suddenly a camera popped out of the cubicle next to me. I was startled, so I took the showerhead and sprayed it on.”

Zong Nan spoke calmly, and after seeing that Tao Su’an was shaking, he raised his hand and held his hands. His hands were dry and warm, and even a mysophobic would not reject it, “Well, you did a good job…and you responded in a timely manner. It’s okay now…there won’t be another time.”

Tao Su’an slowly calmed down. Zong Nan rubbed his hair and heard him say weakly: “Is that the murderer just now?”

Zong Nan said calmly: “It would be great if he is.”

Su An heard the implication of his words and clasped his fingers, pretending to be a frightened and simple male college student. In fact, there was no need to pretend, he was really frightened at this time. Su An’s heart was in turmoil. When he saw the candid photographer, a scene flashed through his mind.

“He” bent down in front of the closet and took off his swimming trunks, and found a secret camera of “him” hidden not far away. Su An saw “him” calmly lowering his eyes, and acted as if he didn’t notice that his photo was taken.

——It was exactly the photo taken from the candid photo sent to him by the murderer.

This picture was not taken yesterday, but a long time ago. This was not the reason why Su An was frightened. He was shocked to find that this memory did not appear in the memory of the original owner at the beginning.

Zong Nan was looking at the location where the candid photographer was hiding. It was a locked compartment. The shower was broken, so the swimming pool simply used it as a utility room, filled with cleaning supplies and old shower heads. Su An hugged himself and reorganized the original owner’s memory while he wasn’t paying attention.

Perfect, no flaws. Tao Su’an is like an elf living in the Garden of Eden. The worst thing he has ever encountered in his life is that his parents died in an accident, but even so—— In the days when he was without a father or a mother, he never encountered any difficulties or setbacks. Even if someone strikes up a conversation or someone covets him, Tao Su’an has never been harmed by these people.

All the memories are sunny, beautiful and clean, as if the sudden memory of the scene just now was just an illusion created by Su An.

While the system was re-scanning the memory area of the original owner, there were footsteps walking in. Su An looked up, and his eyes reddened and mist of water clouded his eyes, “Brother, did you find something?”

“I found this swimming pool, please don’t come here again,” Zong Nan paused, then changed the subject and said, “It’s against you.”

Tao Su’an smiled reluctantly, the tip of his nose was red, and his shoulders were red. He must have raised the water temperature when he sprayed the candid photographer with the shower head, and accidentally hurt himself, “I won’t come here anymore.”

No matter how hard-hearted Zong Nan is, he can’t help but soften a little, “We won’t let this kind of secret filming happen to you again.”

Tao Su’an lowered his head and said calmly: “Thank you…brother.”

The voice of the system sounded at the same time: “Host, the reason has been identified. The original owner was overstimulated after the death of his parents and developed another self-protective personality.” It paused, “The main personality does not have the memory of the sub-personality. Now that the sub-personality has disappeared, you only have the memory of the main personality.”
