恐怖故事之严刑

PaRT.06

高升被捕的消息和案情分析，占了晚报第三版的一半篇幅。

信贷公司的主任，与人合谋共同骗取公司资金，事成后为了独吞杀人灭口，这种情节早已不新鲜，新鲜的是杀人手法。

高升潜入钱平的家中，在密闭的房间里注入大量的氧气。在氧气浓度比较高的环境中，喝下碳酸饮料，其中的二氧化碳会被血液大量吸收，造成呼吸困难甚至窒息死亡。事后发现尸体时，氧气早已降至正常标准，丝毫不留痕迹。

钱平万万没想到，他那个嗜好碳酸饮料的习惯，会要了自己的命。

我把报纸揉成一团，扔进垃圾桶里，走进医院。

初恋安静地躺在病床上，脸色还是有些苍白，见我进来，嘴角露出一丝笑容。

“你好像没有遵守约定。”她说。

“我当然会遵守约定。”我坐在床边的凳子上，“那件事已经一笔勾销了，我不会再追查。我这次来只是想和你说一件事。”

“好吧。”她轻轻地点了一下头，“不过请快点。”

“还记得那个和我电话联络的大学生吧？当时你不明白，为什么他那么憎恨自己的家人，可最终还是向我屈服了。”

“因为他发现自己还是爱他们的吧。”

“不，因为他发现这种憎恨是他活下去的唯一动力。他拼命奋斗，就是要有所成就报复他们，嘲笑他们，让他们哭泣着向他忏悔。如果没有了憎恨的目标，他反而会茫然无措，不知道自己为何而活。所以，他绝对不会让人伤害他们。”

“这种心理真够变态，你也是个残酷的家伙。这个时代需要的是心灵鸡汤，你却像是一根冰冷尖锐的针。”

残酷吗？我只知道有些美好的东西，容易冲昏人们的头脑，甚至轻易付出生命。反而是疼痛才能让他们察觉到自己的愚蠢。

比如初恋。

她不缺钱，她和高升同谋，接近钱平只是为了寻找一种挑战的刺激。她没有被欺骗，轻视这些东西所伤害，因此也可以毫不在乎地伤害别人，甚至包括自己。

很多时候，天真也是一种残忍，聪明也是一种狡诈。

高升被捕后，第一时间便把初恋供了出来，声嘶力竭地指证她才是杀人计划的实施者。

然而他找不到任何证人证物。

“还有别的事吗？”初恋问，“没有的话，我想休息了。”

“等着看明天的报纸吧。”我笑笑，“有一篇关于你的报道，大意是智勇双全的女孩，在朋友的帮助下，不惜以身犯险，终于查清了案件的真相。从此之后，你会像纯洁无瑕、聪慧无比的天使一样受人尊敬和喜爱。”

她的双眉之间出现了一条细纹，充满惊讶和恐慌的细纹。

“还有件事你不知道，那天我带你去见的三个人，他们欠公司的钱不假，但是我并不是讨债去的，而是要得到他们的保证，无论任何情况都要把嘴闭紧。高升的杀人计划，是从王院长那里得到的启发，当时你正在医院附近等他。他购买的氧气袋是从那个大学生手里买到的，用了你的网络账号。至于那位美食家，也是高升的老相识，倘若他仔细回想，应该也能想到，钱平死的那天晚上，你在他开的餐馆里，劝钱平喝了一大堆碳酸饮料。这些都是他以防万一，想要把你和他捆绑在一起的花招。不过，都被我切断了，当着你的面。”

初恋眉间的细纹更深了，她似乎已经察觉到，那天虽然我像是去讨债，却根本连钱字都没提。

“你说的话太莫名其妙了！”她哑声道，“我根本听不懂！”

“你很快就会懂了。”我阴沉沉地笑着，“就算你被逮捕，也可以声称是被高升蒙蔽，对他的真正目的毫不知情去推脱，凭你这单纯的形象，很可能会被无罪释放。”

无论高升成败，她都能全身而退。这就是她想要寻找的挑战感，这就是可以满足她的刺激。

得到的太轻易，便不会满足。我在见她之前，便查清了这些，于是打定了主意：助她轻易脱罪，毁掉她想要的得到的一切。

她内心的黑暗面恰恰来自于因为形象太美好，所以不能让任何喜欢自己的人失望，不能犯任何错误所造成的压抑，她想要释放这种压力，又害怕形象受损，矛盾的旋涡，终究转化成心中的魔鬼。

得不到满足，欲望会变得更加强烈。如果她不坦承罪行，那么这个魔鬼会变得更加强大，直至彻底吞噬她的心灵。

无论她选择哪条路，我都很满足。我会一直盯着她，尽情享受这种满足。

“我知道你在打什么主意。”初恋咬牙切齿地说，“我是不会让你得逞的！”

我笑了，笑得很愉快。

恐怕她这辈子都不会忘记我的名字：严酷而严，刑罚的刑，严刑峻法的严刑。
