Chen Xiao was jolted awake.
“What now~” he said, clearly annoyed.
The man glared with bloodshot eyes, “Listen… there’s some kind of noise.”
Chen Xiao frowned slightly, became a bit more alert, and listened quietly for a while before saying with irritation, “What noise?”
The man shook his groggy head helplessly, and looked around in a daze: “… Could it be that I’m hallucinating?”
“Crick-crack~ crick-crack~” The strange sound appeared again.
This time, Chen Xiao finally furrowed his brow.
The man asked anxiously right away, “What, did you hear it this time!”
Chen Xiao shook his head and pointed hesitantly at the man’s face, “I still didn’t hear the sound, but your face… it looks strange.”
After saying that, Chen Xiao thought for half a second, as if trying to find the right words to describe it.
“Hmm… very pale, yet tinged with black, almost like…”
“You’re poisoned!”
He then put on a worried expression and said.
The man furrowed his brow and walked over to a mirror to take a look at his own face. He froze for a moment. Then, with some disbelief, he shook his head and stretched his neck again for a closer look at his reflection.
Indeed, his complexion was pale, and on a closer inspection, it did seem to have a blue-black tint.
“Poisoned?”
The word surfaced in his mind, followed immediately by his tense nerves connecting it to something else.
The man abruptly sat up straight and stared at Chen Xiao with fear.
“I… I think I understand!” he said, trembling.
Chen Xiao, confused by the man’s expression, asked, “What’s wrong?”
The man swallowed and seemed to be breathing much heavier, “That woman, she’s framing me!”
Chen Xiao was baffled, “Huh?”
The man continued, terrified, “That woman appeared out of the blue at the convenience store where I work a week ago. She was dressed beautifully that day, she did it on purpose to show me, to seduce me, and then I fell for it, and have been following her. But today, she came home late and also deliberately left the door open. No woman would forget to close the door late at night in silence, so this must be a trap, just to get me to break in, so that’s why she would stab herself with a knife. She’s framing me!”
The man became more agitated as he spoke, his eyes growing redder and he began flailing his arms unconsciously.
Chen Xiao frowned, “Hey… you got a delusion problem or what, why would she want to frame you!”
The man panted in terror, saying directly, “Three months ago, I broke up. I was so angry that night, and then I ran into a girl on the street… she resisted! I pushed her too hard, she hit something, and passed out!”
Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Passed out?”
The man’s breathing became heavier and he started to shout nonsensically, “How would I know… I was scared too, and just ran!”
Chen Xiao ignored the man and pondered with a thoughtful expression, “So suppose the girl didn’t just faint but died from the impact or became vegetative. But since there was no evidence, the police couldn’t touch you. So, the woman who died in front of you tonight had no choice but to resort to this method to frame you. Hmm… although that makes sense, it didn’t work because you didn’t leave anything at the scene! You won’t have a problem unless the police investigate you closely.”

The man shouted frantically, “Bastard! How could that woman just be framing me! Don’t you get it? I’ve been poisoned! That woman knew I would go home after eating at the convenience store every night, so she must have been poisoning me with a slow-acting poison, two weeks ago or even earlier! She started this plan a week ago, hoping to put me in jail, but even if not, I would still die!”
At this moment the “crick-crack crick-crack” sound arose again.
The man was frightened and angry, yelling, “Damn it, now I hear it again, hallucinations! It must be!”
He opened his mouth wide, flinging saliva as he spoke.
Chen Xiao suddenly shouted, “Calm down!”
The man was taken aback for a moment, staring intently at Chen Xiao as if he really did calm down a bit.
“What are you yelling for?” Chen Xiao said with a look of annoyance, “Where are there so many slow poisons, and aren’t you standing right here, fine and dandy?”
The man finally snapped out of it, “Right, right! To the hospital!” he said in a flustered rush.
Chen Xiao roared angrily again, “Are you an idiot? Why do you think that woman wanted to lure you into her house tonight? If she’s planning to frame you, she surely has a contingency in place already. Maybe she’s set up an email or message to be sent automatically from her inbox. Every poisoning victim that shows up in the hospital during this time is going to be targeted by the police! You could be facing more than just a human life then!”
“What do we do!” After hearing this, the man’s newfound hope seemed to be burst like a bubble, and he howled as if he were about to drop dead the next second.
“Shut it!” Chen Xiao said, massaging his head a bit and swaying it, taking a deep, rough breath, “Calm down, and focus on how your body feels. Tell me what it’s like now! We need to see if you’ve been poisoned or not!”
The man took several deep breaths and managed to calm himself down.
“I feel dizzy… my head hurts, and my brain feels sluggish and stiff, my body is weak… and, breathing is difficult. I feel cold, my joints are aching, and sometimes, I feel like I’m floating, my thinking isn’t sharp anymore…”
As he spoke, it seemed the more detail he gave, the more symptoms surfaced, and with every symptom he mentioned, Chen Xiao’s expression grew darker.
Suddenly, Chen Xiao looked up sharply at the other man.
“Go, take a leak and see if it smells weird.”
The man paused, and though he didn’t understand what Chen Xiao was up to, he immediately ran to the bathroom.
After a while, he dashed out with a look of terror and said, “It’s not right… it’s like… there’s a bitter, fishy smell!”
Chen Xiao nodded… “It should be something like dimethylmercury.”
“What?” The man didn’t understand.
Chen Xiao explained again, “A type of insecticide, you can buy it at any pet store. Headache! Dizziness! Low blood pressure! Skin! Breathing! Hallucinations! Basically, everything you’re experiencing now! So watch me closely, does it seem like I’m swaying to you?”
The man immediately focused on Chen Xiao, and after a few seconds, he shouted in panic, “Yes! You’re swaying!… Oh… it’s like the whole room is swaying! I feel so dizzy!”
The man collapsed beside Chen Xiao all of a sudden.
“You have a way to fix this, right?” he asked, staring at Chen Xiao with bloodshot eyes full of near despair.
Frowning, Chen Xiao said, “Since it’s a common toxin, there should be a remedy online. If I remember correctly, you just need plenty of sugar! A lot of vitamin C will do. It’s a chronic poisoning, so there’s no need for gastric lavage. The most important thing is to get the toxins out of your body, meaning you have to sweat! Keep sweating nonstop!”
The man seemed to see a glimmer of hope again and immediately took out his cellphone.
“Yes, yes! It says here, vitamin C, toxins need to be expelled from the body!” he said, delighted, completely oblivious to the twisted expression on his own face, “It’s simple, available at any pharmacy. Sweating… by running! Yes, running, I don’t need to go to the hospital, and I won’t get caught!”
Chen Xiao watched the man’s expression, his mouth corners inexplicably twitching, almost as if suppressing a laugh, “Now you go to the pharmacy, buy two bottles with the highest concentration of vitamin C, mix it with cola, and then start running! Keep on running. Don’t stop, no matter how much you sweat, until you can’t stand up from exhaustion!”
The man seemed not to notice Chen Xiao’s odd expression at all and kept nodding frantically, “Right, right, that’s it!! It has to work!!”
Afterward, he also bore a ferocious grin that stretched from ear to ear.
“Hehehehehe… it has to work!” he said chuckling, and scrambled out of the room with a mixture of rolling and crawling.
Sounds of his diminishing manic laughter soon echoed through the hallways
…
At that moment, only one person was left in the apartment.
Chen Xiao licked his lips, as if savoring something, before quickly assuming an expression of indifference.
“To be fooled like that… the quality of killers these days really is…”
He muttered under his breath, then turned to glance at his handcuffs, which scraped against the water pipe making a “scritch-scritch” sound,
He sighed helplessly.
“Ah… such poor quality!”
