889: As you wish
"Move this mirror over here," Mo De called out to Corey.
Hearing the command, Corey laboriously moved the full-length mirror.
Duanmu Mingyue's light, clearer than usual, spilled into the courtyard.
The car headlights nearby illuminated half the courtyard brightly.
Standing in front of the mirror, looking at himself in the mirror, Mo De took out the sandwich he bought in the morning from the side.
After swallowing it in a few bites, he took a gulp of water: "Do you know who the murderer is?"
Mo De asked this of Corey.
"Captain, you know?"
"That's right." After speaking, Mo De gave the answer: "The murderer is me, or rather, it's another me, my Second Personality!"
"This! How is this possible?!" Corey was extremely shocked upon hearing this answer, and more than that, found it unimaginable.
At this moment, the consequences of eating the sandwich gradually surged up!
Mo De could feel that familiar, chilling aura gradually creeping up from behind him!
Without hesitation, he picked up a bottle of medicine from the side.
This was brought from the mental hospital, medicine for patients with mental disorders!
It can keep mentally ill patients relatively calm and prevent them from being taken over by the Second Personality.
At the same time, it can also maintain relatively normal communication with the Second Personality!
"Before, when I watched the playback of Pu Yinghao's death, I was a little puzzled as to why he died from eating a sandwich in such a terrified state and without any danger."
"My Lin Yue's wife said I like to eat sandwiches, but in reality, I reject eating sandwiches, which is very contradictory."
"I saw a lot of information that I had organized myself, and I also saw the information that I had destroyed in the basement. This is another point of contradiction."
"The Child liked to play with me, but when he died, he was crying and shouting at me, saying that I, his Dad, had abandoned him. How could a good Dad suddenly change his attitude?"
These contradictory points can ultimately converge directly into one answer.
"That is, I have schizophrenia and have a second crazy personality!"
"And the sandwich is the switch that awakens you, this Second Personality, right?"
Mo De looked at the mirror in front of him with a cold tone.
And at this moment.
The person in the mirror seemed to detach from his body and completely stood opposite him.
That was a person with their own emotions, identical to himself: "I'm actually surprised that you discovered my existence."
In an unpleasant voice, the person who looked like himself in the mirror, after appearing, slowly lowered his head and asked back strangely: "But what you said can only prove my existence. How did you know that I killed Bosen?"
"Because some things I did, only you, as the Second Personality, could see." Mo De said this, looking at the house in the distance: "The threads at the door were not damaged, because the murderer knew there was a thread there that could transmit information, so the murderer entered the house through the window and burned the evidence last night!"
"The murderer clearly knew what I had done!"
"And last night I slept in the car, with both hands covered in wood ash."
"After 12 o'clock, you, as the Second Personality, woke up at that time and should have understood this point, so you didn't leave any suspicious traces in the car."
"But you didn't know that I move a lot in my sleep, so it's normal for the car to be a mess! Cleanliness is the biggest loophole!"
Speaking of this, Mo De's tone became calmer: "Last night, after you washed your hands clean, you controlled my body to come into the house and destroy that crucial evidence."
"This was already relatively perfect, after all, the evidence was gone."
"But the one thing you absolutely shouldn't have done was put a warning sign in the car!"
"You were threatening me, trying to stop me from investigating further."
"I think, if the murderer really sensed that he was being threatened by me, the first thing he should do is kill me!"
"But the other party didn't do that. He was worried, worried that after killing me, he would also cease to exist, so he could only warn!"
When Mo De said this, the Second Personality in the mirror fell silent.
"Also." After the silence, Mo De added: "When I first ate the sandwich, after a long run and drinking so much alcohol, this method should have been able to suppress you, this Second Personality."
"But I overlooked one point."
"To suppress the effect brought by the sandwich, besides these methods, one more thing needed is that one must be in a room!"
"At that time, I overlooked this seemingly insignificant point and slept directly on the playground, so you still woke up."
"However, at that time, because of the effect of alcohol, your actions were not natural, so you could only rely on writing letters to complete your plan. It's just that the words you wrote with my body, which was numbed by alcohol, were crooked, which is why the letters received by others had that kind of font."
"This is the biggest loophole!"
After these words, the silent Second Personality couldn't help but praise: "As expected of a Human who has lived until now, even being able to make himself a suspect and prove it."
"But at most, these only prove that I am an accomplice. Why would I want to kill Bosen?"
"You didn't kill Bosen." Mo De's tone immediately shifted: "Because you are Bosen! Or rather, I, the Sheriff, am that barber, Bosen!"
"The person who died was the younger brother, the original Sheriff!"
After these words were spoken, the playful look in the eyes of the person in the mirror remained unchanged, but a hint of gloom was added.
"Before, I didn't know why the upper half of the body disappeared, but later I understood."
"The younger brother's upper body was burned by the fire, and there was a burn treatment expense bill at home, this point is very clear."
"If his upper body was left, everyone would understand that the person who died was not Bosen, but Bosen's younger brother, that Sheriff!"
"You and your younger brother are identical twins, with the same DNA, so as long as you leave the lower body and forge some information, it is enough to make people believe that the person who died was Bosen!"
"If my thoughts are correct, the cause of the incident would be such a story."
"You and your younger brother's Lin Yue's wife had an affair."
"During that time, the younger brother was burned and disfigured by the fire, his personality became twisted, and then the younger brother discovered his Lin Yue's wife's affair, but he didn't know who the lover was, so all the hatred fell on his Lin Yue's wife and his Hong Lei's daughter, Una, who was not his own!"
"The younger brother cut off his Lin Yue's wife's ring finger and killed his Lin Yue's wife and Hong Lei's daughter in the basement!"
"And you, as the Older brother, should be called me, this Master Personality." Mo De pointed to himself: "He knew about this, but he was very good to his younger brother, and his personality was very weak, so even though he hated him in his heart, he didn't dare to reveal himself."
"Until one day, he won the lottery! Bosen won the lottery!"
"The huge wealth caused Bosen's Second Personality to emerge, a crazy Second Personality, who began to plan to kill the person that the younger brother, this Master Personality, always hated!"
"He used the lottery winnings as a foundation, created a non-existent rich man, used a dog as a setup, led out suspects one by one, and at the same time made himself a dead person in the plan!"
"Finally, when the time was ripe, he lured his younger brother over, killed him, and replaced him!"
"You became the Sheriff, so you forged more information about Bosen's death."
"For example, the train ticket for leaving. You focused on Bosen dying in the Redwood Forest, so the forged departure ticket also had to match that location, and you forgot that the station near the Redwood Forest has no train arrivals!"
"Also, Bosen's relocation certificate, and inviting Mara to leave together at the time of parting, these were all things you directed and acted out yourself."
"You knew that woman Mara couldn't leave with you, but you still extended the invitation and said you were very rich. You did this because you knew you could use this woman to transmit the information that you were rich."
"Compared to revenge killings, the scope of financial killings is wider and can muddy the waters more!"
"But unfortunately, the appearance of the incomplete lottery ticket completely exposed your plan."
"After seeing the dog meat in the refrigerator, I understood even more that there was no rich man at all, because the dog that Bosen took away had already been gutted and put in the refrigerator, made into a dish!"
Speaking of this, Mo De added in his heart: "After all, the System gave the answer that the dog meat was physical evidence."
As Mo De narrated, the matter was very simple.
It was about the Older brother and younger brother's Lin Yue's wife having an affair, the younger brother killing his Lin Yue's wife and Hong Lei's daughter after discovering he was cuckolded, and the Older brother starting his revenge after winning the lottery and becoming rich.
After hearing all this, the Second Personality in the mirror slowly clapped his hands.
Although he was in the mirror, the applause could be heard in the courtyard: "Amazing, your attention to detail is really good. There are few Humans in the world as smart as you."
"Kill me. You should be the first person to find me, this murderer, and kill me, solving this case!" The entity in the mirror said with a sense of relief.
"As you wish."
"Bang!" The moment the words fell, Mo De pulled the trigger.
In the silence.
The mirror in front did not shatter, and Mo De himself was not injured...
"Thump ~"
The person kneeling on the ground, clutching the gunshot wound in his chest, was Corey, who was not far away, his eyes wide with disbelief!
"Don't misunderstand, I didn't shoot the wrong person." Looking at Corey, who was slumped on the ground, his face twitching, Mo De grinned: "Corey? I shouldn't call you that, I should call you Sheriff."
"Sheriff, the script you gave me, I performed quite well, didn't I?"
