To be honest, even if she convinced herself that this was probably just a coincidence, Shen Mian still subconsciously felt a little concerned about the name "Xu Yizhou".
What she saw in the game was the other party's online name. After all, few people would use their own names on the star network as boldly as Gu Zhiwu.
What's more, the name she saw was a screen name even in the game world.
"Go right after dinner?"
"Well, is that okay with you?" Wei Duo looked in Qiao Jiaying's direction inquiringly.
Qiao Jiaying's expression was a little stiff, as if she had recalled some bad memories, but she finally nodded.
She is the injured party, and of course she must find a way to protect her rights and interests. Furthermore, if the other party cannot be brought to justice, even if she returns to school and resumes her previous life, she may not be able to truly feel at ease. Counting the days with such fear is scary even just thinking about it.
"Okay, we'll go directly there later and meet them at the entrance of the scenic spot." Wei Duo smiled and said to the two of them: "It's still early now, so don't be too anxious. You Nanxing still needs to tidy up. Information. We won’t have anything later.”
Shen Mian responded and turned to look out the window.
The sun outside is still bright and dazzling, but because the weather has turned cooler, you don't feel hot when walking under the sun.
The three of them took a rest after lunch, and then Wei Duo drove to the scenic spot to do business.
In the car, Wei Duo noticed that Qiao Jiaying was uncomfortable and chatted with her all the time to ease the atmosphere. Shen Mian was leaning against the car window alone, looking out the window, wondering. What.
Her fingers unconsciously crossed the mobile phone in her hand. Since she did not touch any other buttons, the mobile phone still had a black screen.
Her thoughts quickly dispersed from a certain point while she was in a daze, and many messy things flashed through her mind.
Maybe she cares about Xu Yizhou because she has become addicted to the Internet recently when playing games? Otherwise, in the past, even if the person on the phone suddenly appeared in front of her, she would probably just think about how similar the person was to the person on the phone, and then put the matter aside. .
This kind of concern comes out of nowhere.
Or rather, it wasn't because he cared about Xu Yizhou, but... Gu Henzhi.
Thinking of this, a light seemed to suddenly flash across her mind.
Yes, she is not a person who is very dedicated to games. It is probably because the character setting of the game "Interstellar Love Song" is really good, plus the interactive links of the CV brother with a nice voice and the boyfriend in the game. The appearance is enough to make up for other "big holes" in the game.
Probably because she had communicated with Gu Henzhi so much, she actually felt as if such a person really lived in a certain dimension on the other side of the phone.
This feeling was a little strange, and it also made her aware of some danger.
As an adult, her reason told her that everything that happened in the game was just a bunch of data.
It's not a good sign if she cares too much.
However, if you choose to give up gaming in order to avoid Internet addiction, it may be a bit of a fuss.
Whether it's the game or Gu Henzhi, they didn't do anything wrong. The real problem was probably hers.
So, is it better for her to keep some distance from Gu Henzhi?
Thinking of this, she inadvertently looked at her reflection on the car window. When she caught sight of her frowning brow, she was slightly stunned and suddenly chuckled.
I would show this expression in normal times, so I really care about it...
Perhaps because I was thinking about something, the journey in the car seemed to automatically shorten a lot.
When Shen Mian came back to her senses, the shadow of the scenic gate had already appeared in her field of vision.
At the same time, through the car window, she saw the location of You Nanxing and Xu Yizhou at a glance. It was obvious that they had been waiting for them there in advance.
Wei Duo parked the car, took them over, and said hello to each other.
"Miss Shen, Miss Qiao."
You Nanxing greeted the two people cheerfully. Although they had just met in the morning, they still had to maintain basic courtesy. Especially Shen Mian, he saw how she made Qiao Anran voluntarily cooperate with the police in the morning. To be honest, she helped them a lot.
I don’t know why, especially Miss Shen, from the first time I met her until now. You Nanxing always has an inexplicable "awe" towards her. Logically speaking, this word is not very applicable. But he really couldn't think of any more suitable words to describe his feeling.
In other words, there is a certain quality in her that is somewhat similar to how Team Yin makes her feel.
It’s easy for people to automatically follow the other person’s lead.
All in all, he is a very powerful person.
As for Xu Yizhou, who was standing next to You Nanxing, he was startled when he saw Shen Mian's appearance clearly. Then he thought of what happened in the morning, smiled shyly at them, said hello, stopped talking, and just stood quietly aside.
For some reason, he always felt that "Miss Shen" looked at him with a strange look, but now, it seemed different from that in the morning.
She doesn't seem to like herself very much, Xu Yizhou thought.
If Shen Mian knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say that he was really overthinking it.
It was just because of the messy things I was thinking about in the car, and I was afraid that I couldn't help but look at Xi Zhouxian and cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so I deliberately didn't look at him.
"This is the changed confession of the guy we caught. Take a look at it first." You Nanxing said, handing the things in his hands to Shen Mian and Wei Duo. Then he turned to the direction of Qiao Jiaying: "Let's go to the place where Miss Qiao disappeared first. You just need to tell us what happened at that time as reductively as possible."
"good."
Qiao Jiaying nodded.
Because the search warrant applied for was limited in time, the police chose to divide their forces into several groups and search one by one.
The place where Shen Mian and Qiao Jiaying want to go is naturally the place where they appeared during their participation in the case as parties.
Shen Mian looked at the so-called changed confession in her hand.
"Appearing by chance and not knowing anything? What a coincidence." She read the two simple pages with interest: "I heard that this person is also here?"
"Yes, it's in the car over there. We have a limit on his detention time. If we can't find any evidence, we may really have no choice but to let him go." You Nanxing explained helplessly: " He has never been peaceful at the police station, so give him a chance to prove his innocence."
Of course, that's what I say. The most important thing is that he is afraid that his sudden change of words will have any direct or indirect contact with internal members of the police station. After all, the timing of the change of words is a bit delicate, and it is uncertain whether someone said something to him. .
In Yin Jinchuan's words, Fang Sui's suicide was too subtle.
The death of one person brings everything to a conclusion, which is a problem in itself.
Coupled with the sudden change of account of the witness now, it made him feel that there really seemed to be an invisible guy beside him who was deliberately hiding something.
Not all cases may be related to him, but he is definitely the one holding them back for some purpose.
Therefore, it is said that it is giving the guy a chance to prove his innocence, but in fact, it is to keep the other person away from possible accidents.
Shen Mian and the others followed You Nanxing's gaze and saw a police car parked not far away. Apparently the man was in the police car.
The group first came to the B&B where Qiao Jiaying lived before his disappearance.
The rooms in the B&B were required to remain as they were for the time being due to the investigation of the case. At this time, the rooms were still as they were when everyone discovered that Qiao Jiaying was missing.
Even though Shen Mian had read the relevant information and photos in advance, she was still startled by the big bloody letters on the wall when she walked into the room.
She felt her arm being pulled tightly, and when she turned her head, she saw Qiao Jiaying's pale face.
Yes, although this room is said to be the place where Qiao Jiaying disappeared, the big bloody words on the wall were obviously written after Qiao Jiaying left the room. As for the words "pay back debts" written on it, it was probably to confuse the audience.
The appearance of this word made everyone immediately think that Qiao Jiaying was kidnapped because of a feud with someone or a property dispute.
But it turns out that there is no relationship between the words on it and the girl.
It was precisely because of this line of writing that the investigation direction of the entire case was deflected at that time.
"Don't be afraid." Shen Mian patted Qiao Jiaying's hand to express comfort and lowered her voice.
"Miss Qiao, you didn't have this line when you left, right?" You Nanxing asked, while Xu Yizhou next to him was holding a notebook and making corresponding notes.
"This word... is the first time I've seen it." Qiao Jiaying was obviously frightened.
This scene is really very similar to scenes in some horror movies. Just looking at this scene, which looks like a murder scene, is already very captivating. Shen Mian suspected that the person who created this scene must have been watching horror movies, so in order to divert his attention, he wanted to go in the direction of the supernatural.
If the police cannot find the corresponding evidence, although this is a scenic spot, it is also a village. In such a place, corresponding rumors will spread quickly, which will also cause great trouble to the police in handling the case.
Now looking at Qiao Jiaying's performance, this effect is probably quite successful.
"Do you remember the specific situation that happened at that time?" You Nanxing asked.
Qiao Jiaying's eyes quickly retracted from the wall. After looking around, he confirmed that the appearance of the house did not change much compared to before.
"I went out to do my social survey as usual that day. When I came back, it was already a little late, so I bought some food on the way. I happened to meet the boss and his family at the door of the B&B. They saw me coming in with dinner. They knew I didn't have time to have dinner, so I was given a small snack, saying it was just made in the afternoon. After I came back, I started sorting out the information I obtained during the day after dinner..."
In fact, the process of social survey is not very difficult, but the data is very fragmented, and it is a bit troublesome to sort it out, which is very time-consuming and energy-consuming. She was a little tired from going out during the day, so after sorting out the information that day, she was too sleepy and went back to bed after washing up.
Qiao Jiaying said, roughly simulating her route in the room at that time.
"Then, I don't know what time it was, but I vaguely heard some noise next door. It was a bit loud, but I was really sleepy at the time, so I thought it wasn't happening in my room anyway. No matter what happened, Let’s talk about everything tomorrow, so I fell asleep again in a daze. When I came back again, I found that I was no longer in this room. "
"I was confused at the time, and I just thought I might have had a dream, but I couldn't remember what I was dreaming about. But when I think about it later, maybe I wasn't dreaming at that time?"
Qiao Jiaying frowned at this time, her face turned pale, and she obviously still had a lot of shadow about what happened at that time.
"A loud noise? What kind of sound?" Shen Mian suddenly asked.
"It's just... like the sound of something heavy falling to the ground or hitting the wall, I can't tell..." Qiao Jiaying said while recalling.
"It sounded like a heavy object falling to the ground... hitting the wall..." Shen Mian lowered his eyes and thought, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wei Duo, who was standing next to her, noticed something strange about her: "Is there something wrong?"
At the same time, everyone in the room focused their eyes on Shen Mian.
"No, it's just...do you remember that when we met at the B&B where I was staying, I told you that I heard a strange sound in the middle of the night?" Shen Mian asked.
Wei Duo was stunned for a moment, and then recalled the scene when he met Shen Mian while investigating with the captain.
It seems... there is such a thing.
"so……"
"Judging from the description, the voice may be similar to the voice I heard at the time. Didn't similar words appear on the wall of the room opposite me, so I was wondering if there was any connection between the two. Of course, this is not necessarily true, maybe it’s just a coincidence, so you continue.”
Shen Mian doesn't think that there must be any necessary connection between two seemingly identical things.
Just like when I was being followed before, although the cases being followed were very similar, they were not committed by the same person. The so-called copycat crimes were not impossible.
The gossip in the village is always well-informed. After what happened to Qiao Jiaying, it is not completely impossible that other people may have bad thoughts.
Of course, these are just speculations and need to be supported by evidence.
"The food you ate that day was just the dinner you bought yourself and the snacks given to you by the owner of the B&B?" Xu Yizhou stood next to the table in the room. There was an empty plate there, and the snacks in it were also sent to be made. After testing, no drug ingredients were found.
"Yes. I usually don't eat anything extra even if I'm hungry at night."
"Since a similar situation has happened before, let's go to another B&B and have another look." You Nanxing said.
Shen Mian followed them, and when she glanced at Xu Yizhou's back, she suddenly thought: If Gu Henzhi was here, with his brains, they might be able to avoid taking some detours.
Tsk tsk...I thought of him again!
