Bai Su was sure that Qiao Jiang had tricked him.
Human beings probably don’t think so much of the urban legend of doppelgangers.
In the conversation that took place at his home that day, it was Qiao Jiang who mentioned the "other self" that she saw through her "windows" spread across the city.
It was Wang Muying who linked the idea of "another self" to the doppelgänger.
Their conversations only existed in the home where he lived.
The human girl obviously has no connection with the special department. Just as the human police officer Tang Nuo said, it was Qiao Jiang who informed the special department of the news.
The beautiful woman wearing a beret seemed to appear in front of Bai Su again. She looked at him with a pair of red eyes and said that she liked to observe human beings.
Qiao Jiang had held the human girl's arm closely before, presumably for observation.
"Tsk." He made an inaudible smacking sound, and Bai Su made sure that the humans on the side didn't hear it clearly.
The black-haired young man nodded his arm and asked an irrelevant question: "How...how did Qiao Jiang become my liaison?"
This question is easy to answer, just apply.
However, the humans probably misunderstood something. Not only the young member, but also Tang Nuo also looked towards Bai Su.
The young member looked left and right, thought for a moment, and after some thoughts, he said with some approval: "Miss Qiao is very beautiful!"
Bai Su: "? So?"
Young member: "So after Ms. Qiao took the initiative to apply to be a liaison officer, the department has grown a bit..."
The young member didn't say everything, but a normal person should be able to understand what he wanted to express.
Bai Su: No, I don’t understand.
Perhaps because Bai Su's eyes were too confused, the young member added in a low voice: "Although I don't know why you attracted Miss Qiao, senior, but I have always been a spectator. Senior Bai, you have to work hard!"
Bai Su: "..."
The black-haired young man turned his head speechlessly and looked at Tang Nuo, who also didn't know what to say: "Are you... so boring?"
Tang Nuo heard some gossip but didn't take it seriously like the younger members: "Well, Qiao Jiang is more in the spotlight."
In fact, this gossip went a step further. After some men in the department learned that their favorite goddess "had a crush on her," some wanted to come and compete with Bai Su.
Their ideas were bold, but everything was stifled under a single test sheet.
The nearly explosive numbers have made human beings take back their hearts, and some people who are unwilling to accept it are thinking, why do you look so thin but so strong?
The young member felt that he had said too much and closed his mouth angrily.
The less you say, the less you will make mistakes; the more you say, the more you will make mistakes.
Bai Su: "What is a doppelganger?"
Tang Nuo: "Strictly speaking, it is a psychological phenomenon, but in this case, it should be an urban legend."
He quickly called up the forum page that Bai Su had already read. Although he had already read it once, Bai Su pretended to read it for the first time and scanned the news.
According to Tang Nuo, Qiao Jiang was accidentally recommended to this forum by a friend. After scrolling through it twice, he found that the thread about friends who had been sick appeared quite frequently in the posts.
Bai Su, who knows the truth of the matter:...
Qiao Jiang used her excellent association skills to organize the findings and handed them over to the special department.
The special department took a look and found that this was indeed an area they had ignored before and could be used as a direction for investigation.
"So." Tang Nuo pushed up his glasses, "After screening the posts, I selected a few posters who agreed to communicate, and we got one."
The rest was left to other teams to come to the door. Compared to them who were still investigating the black shadow attack, other teams had to visit several households a day.
This call was automatically understood by Bai Su. After Qiao Jiang learned about the connection between the attack and the doppelgänger, she revealed the matter to him through the convenience of her controlled identity.
Angry? Bai Su's black eyes rolled.
It's not that big of a deal, just dig the hole back in the future.
Bai Su agreed to the next itinerary. Seeing that Tang Nuo had explained everything clearly, he started to talk about the address.
That family's address is not very far from here, but they drove here. The car was parked in the underground garage of the shopping mall where they had eaten before, and now they had to walk back.
Tang Nuo was responsible for picking up the car, while the younger members stayed with Bai Su and waited at the door...wait, where is the person?
The young members lowered their heads one by one and looked up, and found that he was the only one still standing at the entrance of the mall.
"Bai...Senior Bai...Bai Su!" He called a few times tentatively, but no one answered.
The young member looked around blankly. He was sure that nothing strange happened just now, and Bai Su should have walked away normally.
Instantly, the young members put on masks of pain.
He finally understood why Senior Tang asked him to keep an eye on someone and stop being distracted. Where did this person go?
Devastated, he began to look around. The young members walked around the first floor of the mall, but saw no one, and their calls were not answered.
After walking around in a circle, he stopped in front of the floor plan sign and fell into deep thought.
After a few seconds, the young member felt so happy that he turned around and walked towards the underground level.
Before Tang Nuo could drive out to pick up the people, the young members found Bai Su.
The black-haired young man held several paper bags in his hands. Judging from the sweet aroma emanating from them, they were all filled with food.
Faced with human questions, Bai Su responded this way: "I asked in the fan group if there was anything delicious in this shopping mall, and someone happened to recommend it... By the way, let's leave quickly."
Bai Su was stunned when he saw the human being, so he walked forward first: "If it's too late, the fans who live nearby might come over."
Young member: Oh yes, this senior is still an anchor.
Young member: So why do you have to expose your position to the fan base? !
The humans followed helplessly. When they arrived at the entrance of the mall, the familiar car from the special department was already parked at the entrance.
The same brand and the same model are very easy to identify.
Bai Su and the young members all got into the car. Bai Su, who was holding several bags, took the initiative to sit in the back seat. The bespectacled young man in the driver's seat looked helplessly in the rearview mirror and said nothing in the end.
Anyway, he doesn’t need to pay more.
The car quickly drove to the residential building. It was difficult to find a parking space in the community, so it took a lot of effort to park the car.
When I got on the bus, there were several full bags. When I got off, there were only paper bags bent into small squares. When I threw them into the trash can, there was nothing left.
The young member witnessed how Baisu emptied the food in a short time and was commissioned to record a short video: Did the sweets lead to another stomach?
After ventilating the car to disperse the sweet smell of food, the group quickly went upstairs.
Knocking on the door of a house on the second floor, the man who opened the door should be the man of the house.
The male host looked a little haggard. After Tang Nuo showed his ID and stated his intention, he quickly welcomed the three people in.
While taking his slippers, he took a tissue and wiped the sweat from his bare forehead: "Huan, welcome, I didn't expect you guys to come so early."
Bai Su glanced at the clock indoors and saw that ten minutes had passed since the time the special department had made an appointment with this human being.
Tang Nuo: "We are too late."
Host: "No, no, no, it's already early enough!"
For the male owner of the house, it is helpless to go to the forum to ask for help or share his doubts.
His helpless act can attract the attention of the authorities and someone comes to visit him. Regardless of whether his doubts can be resolved, he can always get some psychological comfort.
The male host: "Does the official have a department responsible for this kind of incident... He is indeed the official father!"
The male host did not believe it easily at first. He was a rational adult. His first reaction was to hang up the phone and call the police. The calls to the police continued, and the male host even ran to a nearby police station for help.
In the end, after an incoherent conversation, the male host discovered that it was actually an official person on the other end of the phone.
Host: "I'm really sorry for doubting you before."
Tang Nuo: "...It's okay. I should thank you for your cooperation."
The three of them sat down in this room one after another. The male host asked about his preferences, went to the kitchen to make simple tea and brought it to them one by one.
After the display was over, the host sat down solemnly, as if he was a guest.
Bai Su is not the main person in charge. He and the young member are accompanying him, as long as Tang Nuo is listening.
So he began to observe the house amidst the conversation between the two.
The house is neither old nor new. Judging from the stained spots on the walls, the house is quite old. It has about two bedrooms... In other words, if we do not rule out the possibility of sleeping in separate rooms, this family has lived in it for three to three years. four people?
Just as he was thinking about it, the male host introduced the situation of his family. It was similar to what Bai Su had imagined at first glance. There were three people living in their family.
The host couple and their children.
"But my child has gone to study in another city and won't come back until the holidays, so now my wife and I are the only ones living here."
"This room is where my wife and I live, and that room is our son's room... Recently I sleep in my son's room."
When it comes to sleeping in separate rooms, the male host can't help but frown: "My wife has been acting a little strange recently."
If he wanted to trace back to the initial strangeness, after communicating with people on the forum and reading many posts, he felt that it started with illness.
Sickness occurs without warning. Although many illnesses have no beginning or end, if you think about it, you don't know if you caught a cold or if it was infected by an acquaintance. The husband's wife has been sick since she returned home one day.
The cold came so violently that the male owner didn’t even know why his wife caught the cold. After taking care of his wife for a few days and realizing that the condition was serious, he also took her to the hospital for a visit. He came to the conclusion that he would prescribe some medicine and go back to rest more. .
When Tang Nuo heard this, his pen stopped for a moment.
He asked about the time, and sure enough it was before the special department started paying attention to the patients.
"She had been sick at home for a long time. I could have taken leave for two more days to take care of her at first, but people have to go to work and I haven't retired yet... A few days after I went back to work, I came home one day and saw that she had recovered. "
It's a very strange healing, similar to a span of change from something to nothing, but if you want to talk about a process, it can also be understood as the passage of time from day to night.
"She recovered. I was very happy at first. After all, I was a little worried after being ill for so long." At this point, the male host paused, "But... as time went by, my wife became a little strange. "
Developing and changing hobbies and habits takes time and does not happen overnight.
But unfortunately, his wife's change was so sudden.
The male owner couldn't describe how he got up overnight. He found that some of the furnishings in the house had completely changed their positions, and his wife used her left hand as usual.
When he asked, his wife looked confused and couldn't answer.
After a few seconds his wife forgot about his question and went back to doing what she had just interrupted.
Host: "That's about it...except for this, my wife behaves the same as before she got sick."
Tang Nuo: "I understand about your wife's strange aspects. You really didn't reveal much on the forum."
Host: "I can't help it. I can't tell everything on the Internet. I just found a place to talk and discuss."
Tang Nuo: "Can you tell me what the symptoms were during the illness?"
Host: "If you ask that...it seems there is."
The humans reached a new topic there, but Bai Su stood up from the sofa after looking at the room for a while.
The three humans all looked towards him and quickly looked away after realizing that Bai Su was just wandering around the living room.
Bai Su walked around the living room twice, and then stopped in front of a shelf. There was a photo frame at the top of the shelf, with a large group photo of many people inserted in it.
The old photos are black and white, and have turned a little yellow over time, but it can be seen that the people who saved them were very careful. The light yellow color only stays in the four corners of the photo and has not moved forward.
The photos are old, so of course the people in the photos are also very old, especially when they were taken together. They were already very old. After the passage of time, few of the people in the photos are still alive in reality.
Specifically, from Bai Su's perspective, the photos sway outward in clusters, like sea anemone tentacles floating with the current.
You can eat it pour-over, but it probably won’t be very delicious.
Hiss...what kind of classification is this?
The black-haired young man reached out and picked up the photo frame. As soon as he reached out, he felt a cool touch, as if touching... a garden eel soaked in sea water?
A cold feeling kept running across the back of his hand, and Bai Su's movements attracted the attention of the owner of the house.
The man of the house interrupted his account of his wife's forgetfulness during her illness and looked back.
He did not express dissatisfaction with Bai Su's unauthorized action of picking up the photo frame. Instead, he introduced: "This is a photo taken by my great-grandfather at that time. Because it is very commemorative, it has been displayed outside."
"Great-grandfather?" Bai Su calculated the generation of human beings, and it seemed that he was the father's father's father.
The male host nodded: "Yes, basically all the people in the photo have passed away."
The male owner has not researched deeply. There may be some people who have a relatively long lifespan and are still alive. His connection with his great-grandfather's generation is quite weak. This aspect is not clear.
"So, is this why this photo is like this?" The black-haired young man said words that others could not understand, and he slowly passed in front of the glass from a few centimeters away.
The police officer wearing glasses seemed to realize something. He put down the pen and paper and stood up from the sofa.
Those who have little interest in the by-products of old photos mainly don’t look very appetizing.
Bai Su let the photo frame go when Tang Nuo reached out, and then he saw the human being touching the photo frame from afar with a serious look on his face.
It looks like... something humans can't see.
I originally went out for something yesterday, but I didn't expect that my final destination would be the hospital.
As expected, you still need to scald the meat when eating hot pot.
