The Villain Doesn’t Want To Date the Cute Heroine - Chapter 94
94: Fragments in Disarray
The story Ning Shuang first described had too many flaws, so many that Wu Liang felt helpless.
The past incident was probably far more complicated than she had described.
Ning Shuang had only given a general summary and did not share more details.
At first listen, there seemed to be no problem, but upon careful consideration, obvious contradictions could be found.
There were too many loopholes, so many that Wu Liang couldn’t bear to expose the other’s pretense.
“Ning Shuang probably said so, perhaps only wanting to take all the responsibility upon herself.”
Wu Liang stared at the willow tree outside the window, swaying in the breeze, truly a girl who couldn’t lie.
But this also had to do with Ning Shuang not being well-prepared with her story. If Ning Shuang had taken the time to think it over, perhaps there wouldn’t be so many flaws.
Take that so-called murderous teacher, for example, there were many doubts, very much worth questioning the authenticity of Ning Shuang’s story.
“My friend saw a teacher in the classroom after school, the teacher holding a dagger, smiling sinisterly.”
From this sentence alone, why would that teacher stay alone in the empty classroom after school, not to mention holding a dagger.
Even if there was a reason that the teacher had to stay in the classroom, why carry a dagger?
As a murderer wanted nationwide, he should be well aware of the extreme danger of his situation.
Even if his disguise was impeccable, and no one discovered his true identity during his tenure at the school.
But the murderer wouldn’t be foolish enough to commit a crime in his own classroom, as that would only expose his true identity prematurely.
The second doubt arises from the incident that occurred when Ning Shuang returned to the classroom after school.
Even if Ning Shuang had a reason to return to the classroom, just like the murderer.
Moreover, Ning Shuang had said before, she wanted to escape, but in front of the murderer, she was already paralyzed with fear and unable to move.
From this information, it is known that Ning Shuang was in a state of extreme panic at the time.
Even if a strong will to survive stimulated Ning Shuang’s instincts, no matter how she resisted, she was just a delicate middle school girl.
Especially in a situation where she was enveloped by fear, Ning Shuang was even less likely to make any effective counterattack.
“The murderer is a man in his thirties, and also one who enjoys dismembering his victims.”
Wu Liang clenched his fists, the strength of a man in his thirties and that of an eleven or twelve-year-old girl are qualitatively different.
It’s not a gap that can be bridged by a moment of heat or a white-hot brain, requiring a desperate effort.
The disparity in strength is absolute, and even with all kinds of divine favor bestowed upon Ning Shuang, she could not confront that man.
Moreover, the man’s predilection was dismemberment; even with sharp weapons, it’s not easy to cleanly sever human bones.
But this also indirectly indicates that the murderer is an exceptionally strong and robust adult male.
“Did Ning Shuang, in extreme panic, counter-kill an adult male far stronger than the average person…”
Wu Liang sighed heavily, a wry smile hanging on his face.
Unless there was divine intervention, Ning Shuang could not possibly achieve what only happens in novels and movies.
“In that situation, in that dim classroom, there must have been more than just Ning Shuang.”
Wu Liang rubbed his temples, the state of his brain working at high speed made him somewhat dizzy.
Forcing Ning Shuang’s words into a fragmented narrative was quite challenging for him.
Especially since Ning Shuang’s words were interspersed with various real and false clues, making it very difficult for Wu Liang to reconstruct the scene at the time.
“If only I could go to that classroom at the time…”
Wu Liang murmured lowly, biting his knuckle, thinking that if he could combine the environment at the time, there might be some possibility of reconstructing the story.
It was too difficult to reconstruct the crime scene at the time based solely on Ning Shuang’s fragmented words.
He was not a “profiling expert,” merely someone with some understanding of the field.
He was not like those top experts who could use these clues to completely reconstruct the scene of the murderer’s confrontation with Ning Shuang.
(Profiling: Refers to deducing a person’s psychological state based on their behavior, thereby analyzing their personality, living environment, occupation, and upbringing.)
(Even greatly enhancing observational abilities, allowing the user to analyze the essence of things through subtle features.)
(A profiling expert who has reached the pinnacle of the field can even achieve an immersive and empathetic effect by visiting the crime scene in person.)
“If only Yaoshi Yaoshi were here…”
Wu Liang pressed his temples, overwhelmed by the influx of information.
Yaoshi possessed an absolute power of observation and analysis when it came to profiling.
Although Wu Liang didn’t know when Yaoshi had acquired this ability, she had clearly demonstrated it to him through various small incidents in the past.
“Ning Shuang still can’t face her past completely, otherwise she wouldn’t have hidden the existence of another person.”
Stretching lazily, Wu Liang knew for certain that there was definitely another person in that classroom.
The reason Ning Shuang had killed the murderer was probably with the help of a second person.
From noble mtl dot come
But Wu Liang felt extremely fortunate to understand even this much; it also proved that Ning Shuang trusted him, as he did her.
Even though Ning Shuang couldn’t fully open her heart to him yet, Wu Liang was very content.
“To tell me such things, Ning Shuang must have made quite a resolution.”
Wu Liang stared at the white ceiling, lost in thought.
Such a past must be something Ning Shuang was reluctant to recall and wished to seal away completely.
Despite being provoked by Han Yu’s words to that extent, she had suppressed her inner fear and confided her past to him.
It wasn’t complete yet, but Wu Liang believed that one day Ning Shuang would tell him the whole truth.
“Having shared such a secret with me, I guess I have no choice but to help.”
Wu Liang touched his nose and smiled faintly. Having been entrusted with such a private secret, he couldn’t just watch Ning Shuang remain bound by her past.
However, freeing Ning Shuang from her inner demons wouldn’t be easy; it was a matter that required patience and time.
“When I finally unravel Ning Shuang’s inner demons, our friendship might deepen even further,” Wu Liang thought, closing his eyes.
