At 11:40 noon, the school bell rang on time.

Seeing that the power of the last power bank in the backpack was coming to an end, Du Ruoying couldn't help scratching her head in wonder: "Qi Run, what the hell is he doing? Why is the power consumption so much faster than usual today? If this continues If so, wouldn't it be impossible to survive noon..."

Fortunately, when she left the teaching building, she found a site for sharing charging treasures on the left side of the hallway, and William standing quietly on the right side of the hallway.

Good guy, with this good looks, the crowd of people who directly let out of the teaching building slowed down a lot.

Considering that there are too many familiar classmates around, she decided to avoid any eye contact with him for the time being.Before he found her, she quickly turned her face away, turned around and walked to the rental machine, used a tablet to connect to the campus network, borrowed a power bank, and plugged in her mobile phone.

"It's really ruthless, student Xiaoying," his deep voice suddenly came from beside his ear, "It's a pity that I came here to pick you up after school, but you deliberately turned a blind eye to me?"

The breath of air quickly swept from the tips of her ears to the back of her neck with a burst of softness, and spread along the spine to the entire back, scaring her so much that she almost dropped the tablet on the ground.

"You, you, you... stay away from me!" As a defense, she subconsciously raised her tablet and shouted at him, but he stopped her firmly.

"Domestic violence is bad behavior."

"Who the hell is in your family—"

Just as the two were competing with each other, a WeChat phone rang suddenly on the tablet.She took back the tablet and saw that it was Bai Qirun calling.As soon as it was connected, a burst of scolding came from the loudspeaker:

"Damn it, Du Ruoying, are you a pig?!"

However, the volume button is opened quite large, which is roughly equivalent to directly broadcasting the whole audience.

As the saying goes, social death always comes unexpectedly...

Du Ruoying quickly raised the tablet to protect her face, so as not to be recognized by more people. At the same time, she moved her fingers twice to quickly lower the volume.Then she cursed back angrily in a low voice: "You are a pig! You idiot! Talk about things, don't make noise!"

However, Bai Qirun still seemed to be angry: "What did I say? What did I say? I'll just get a takeaway... Damn, dear pig teammate, what did you do just now?" ?!"

"What are you doing? I didn't do anything..." She looked at the mobile phone and power bank that she was holding in her arms, and gradually realized something was wrong, "I——I just borrowed a power bank...is it a power bank? There is a problem...then I pull it out?"

"Damn it! Who asked you to borrow the power bank—is it the kind from the public rental machine? You dare to borrow the kind, are you only thinking about Douhua?"

After scolding, Du Ruoying recalled the news she usually read, and there were indeed examples of public charging treasures spreading mobile phone viruses.And - it seems that this is the first time she has seen this rental site.

"Then...is it too late if I pull it out now?"

"It's too late—what a fart," Bai Qirun pulled his hair in frustration, "The hole has been blocked, but the encrypted channel has just been patronized by a mouse from nowhere. The other party has nothing. It's too late to take it away, but it is very likely that I saw some information..."

When he said that only part of the information was seen, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Just look at it, anyway, there is nothing unseen in this phone.

"You didn't say before that you can't connect the power bank randomly. I also saw that the phone was running out of battery. How could I expect so much?" She said aggrievedly, "I still want to ask you, why is the power consumption so high this morning? Big, I brought three charging treasures and they are not enough."

"Hey, if you run out of electricity, you will run out of electricity, don't mess around, I rely on..."

"Don't rely on me, I've already unplugged it," she reluctantly returned the power bank to the shared rental machine, "I borrowed the public power bank in the lobby of the 32 teaching building, if you are worried, just use it As a starting point, check the identity of the other party. Don't be so excited, maybe it's just an ordinary virus infection. I'm going to the police station, so I won't tell you."

After hanging up the phone, she turned around and was about to leave with William, but was stopped by someone: "Sister Ruoying! Great, I finally found you!" When she looked back, she found that it was an unfamiliar face.

The girl continued timidly: "I'm Li Ruiqing, a freshman in Jianyuan. I added you on WeChat this morning. Do you remember? Actually, I have something to ask for your help. I sent you a lot this morning. Wechat message, but I haven't waited for a reply—”

Du Ruoying glanced down at the tablet suspiciously, and saw 36 written in the red circle on the WeChat interface, reminding her that there were 36 unread messages.

Also... there are quite a few...

She had no choice but to give Li Ruiqing an apologetic smile: "Ah, I'm really sorry, my phone is broken, and it may not be timely to read the news. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"It's a long story," Li Ruiqing looked around anxiously and said hesitantly, "Sister, if you are free at noon, let's find a place to sit down and talk..."

"Noon?" Du Ruoying thought about how long the statement would be recorded, so she said, "How about evening, I have something to do at noon."

"Then...well, then at night..." Li Ruiqing lowered her head anxiously, "or...or before that, senior sister, take a look at the WeChat I sent you, and then, if you want If so, we’ll talk in detail tonight.”

So, on the way to the police station, Du Ruoying had no choice but to open her chat history with Li Ruiqing and read it.

"Could it be that there is a new case that needs to be entrusted to our little Sherlock Holmes?" William said, staring at her solemn expression with interest.

"It's not a case, no... it might be a case... I don't know..." She closed the tablet and sighed softly, "Ah, why did I suddenly have a feeling that I was possessed by a famous Japanese elementary school student?" a feeling of……"

A famous elementary school student in Japan: Thank you for the invitation. I am in the rice flower market. I have just solved the case and I am very busy. Don't cue, thank you!

"So, what kind of commission is this?" William continued to ask.

In the smoothly moving bus, the two sat side by side.He turned his head slightly to look at her, and the light coming in from the car window made his complexion fairer and more attractive.

She saw that he was resting his chin with one hand, while the other hand was resting lightly on the edge of the seat beside him. His legs were slender by the dark suit pants, and they were staggered together randomly, looking quite relaxed.From his unpredictable smile, she realized that he didn't really want to solve her problems, but just passed the time.

Even so, she decided to share this commission with him, and maybe she could copy the answer directly from him—just like the arson incident in the department building, she didn't need to solve the puzzle herself, as long as she followed his pace closely , the truth can be found.

"Actually, it's our school's drama club—" she said, "Speaking of which, this club used to be the largest club in our school, but afterward, accidents often happened, and fewer and fewer students were willing to join—specifically, I didn't know what was going on before. According to Li Ruiqing, the drama club has had strange incidents of missing members for four consecutive years. Every time it was during the drama festival, all the missing were very beautiful leading actors. Among them, The person who disappeared last year was Li Ruiqing’s older sister, Li Xinyu. Since it was only a case of disappearance, it was difficult to formally file a case. The police’s investigation work could not be carried out at all, and the school also imposed restrictions on the relevant news. In desperation, Li Ruiqing’s junior sister had no choice but to apply for the exam. Come to Bei Yu University to personally track down her sister's whereabouts, but unfortunately, she has made no progress in the past year..."

"It just so happened that she saw you in the recent news reports, so she had high hopes for your ability to solve the case, and wanted you to help investigate this matter?"

"Well, that's right."

"Then are you ready to accept the commission?"

"Hey, of course I want to breathe a sigh of relief. After all, so many things have happened recently. And...the news exaggerates me so much, I'm afraid I'll disappoint my junior." Du Ruoying lowered her head in embarrassment, "But if what this junior girl said is true—there are members missing for four consecutive years, there is obviously something wrong with it, and I can't just let it go."

Seeing her so entangled, William couldn't help showing a gentle smile: "Student Xiaoying is just like Xia Li, she is an out-and-out good person, although she looks a bit fierce."

...Since it is a compliment, can't you praise it well?

What does 'looks a bit fierce' mean?

Halfway through the bus, there were more and more people on the bus, and soon there were no empty seats.Du Ruoying saw that there were two old people who had just gotten into the car and had nowhere to sit, so she motioned for William to give up their seats together.

The two were gradually pushed by the crowd to a position near the door.

Suddenly, the speeding car came to an emergency brake, and the crowd standing in the car was thrown back and forth.Du Ruoying couldn't hold onto her steady, and she staggered and fell into William's arms.

The original inertial force on the ground plus the weight of her jumping over made William a little caught off guard. She pushed him heavily against a vertical pole and stepped on him hard at the same time.

Then, the car started steadily again.

"I, I, I... I didn't mean to take advantage of you..." Du Ruoying hurriedly stood back to her original position, and distanced herself from him again, "You——are you not hurt?"

"Hey, I'm fine." A frown flickered across his face for a moment, but his indifference soon returned.

"Hey, next time we go out, let's take a taxi." She said in a bit of embarrassment, "I really feel guilty for asking you, a nobleman, to accompany me on the bus..."

"It's okay, no need to apologize, after all, I wanted to experience it myself," he smiled at her gently, "Taking the bus is fun, the more people there are, the more interesting things you can observe Woolen cloth."

"Oh, for example?" Looking at his jewel-like eyes, it was not difficult for her to guess that he had indeed discovered something.

"For example, the two people sitting in our seats are not actually old people."

"what?!"

"Oh, classmate Xiaoying didn't notice it?" He smiled and showed her sympathetic eyes, "That's right, with your IQ, it's really difficult to see it."

"..."

Fortunately, she was almost moved by his tolerance and thoughtfulness in the last second, but she was directly murdered in the next second.

Sure enough, I shouldn't have the emotion of being "moved" towards him...

But who told her that she really couldn't do it at the level of IQ?As the saying goes, learning from barbarians to control barbarians, although she was very angry, she still decided to ask him humbly: "Then how did you find out?"

Seeing that she was still patient and pretending to be modest, William almost laughed out loud: "Come closer, I'll tell you again."

... again?

This guy, really doesn't know what a deadly girl killer his natural subwoofer is?Her ears can't withstand such a high-frequency attack, okay?Will it really be destroyed by a gu?

However, apart from obedience, it seems that there is really nothing to do.

She had to do it.

"Generally speaking, the whites of the eyes of the elderly are very cloudy, but if you look at their eyes, there is no yellowing in the whites of the eyes, which shows that their actual age is probably not even 40 years old, and their life schedule is quite regular."

As the saying goes, wash your ears and then listen carefully. At this moment, she just thinks that it is more reasonable to wash your ears after listening carefully, otherwise the temperature of the ears will definitely not drop.

"So... so, Ju... actually disguised himself to be able to give up his seat on the bus, this... this is too boring..." Facts have proved that high CPU temperature is indeed easy to cause lag.

"Who knows?" William shrugged. "That's why it's interesting."

While the two were chatting, Du Ruoying suddenly felt a strange movement from the backpack behind her. When she listened carefully, she could hear the slight sound of zippers.She raised her hand suddenly, and grabbed the person who touched her backpack, and quickly reached into the backpack with the other hand to check her belongings——

Sure enough, the phone was gone.

Du Ruoying turned around angrily, and quickly took a look at the other party.This man was wearing a big straw hat, with erratic eyes and an unshaven beard, but his hands were slender and nimble. His ten fingernails were trimmed cleanly, and there were occasional thin and long scars on the side edges of some fingertips. It seemed that he was often scratched by small sharp objects in the past.He was wearing a loose white shirt, a thin dark blue cotton vest, a pair of thick-soled army green sandals on his rough black feet, and a large black leather bag on his shoulders. Very out of proportion to him.

Du Ruoying immediately profiled him in her mind: she refused to take off her big straw hat in the crowded air-conditioned car, probably to cover up the surveillance cameras; her fingers were dexterous and she had too many scars, so she was obviously a trainer; leather bags or vests could be used for To cover the theft, and to hide the loot—

Make no mistake, this is a habitual thief.

"Give me back my phone!" She lowered her voice and shouted at him.

"Little girl, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. You asked me for your mobile phone, what do you mean?" The other party raised his face slightly and replied quite arrogantly.

"You moved my bag, and I grabbed it. Now my mobile phone is gone. You didn't take it. Who could have it? Bring it! Is it hidden in your satchel, or is it your pocket?" Her voice became louder. It got bigger and bigger, attracting all the people around to look over.

"I said it's not here, how can I get it?" He stared, looking a little scary.

However, Du Ruoying didn't accept his threats: "It happens that I'm going to get off at the police station. If you really have a clear conscience, then go to the police station with me and let them search for you. Do you dare?"

"Hey!" The other party seemed to be getting excited, "You are so convincing, I want to ask you - what would you do if you didn't find your mobile phone from me? I made a trip to the police station in vain. My reputation, my time loss, how do you pay for it?"

Seeing that the other party was so confident, Du Ruoying couldn't help feeling panicked.But she trusts her instincts.

"I'm a student, and I don't have much money with me. If I can't find it, I'll pay you a month's living expenses on the spot, okay."

"Okay, what you said, everyone present to testify." The man sneered, "Since the witnesses are all in this car, why don't we check it out now. Heh, little girl's film! Come and search, see if you can Get it from me. If you find it, I can't run away with so many people, I will accompany you to get off at the police station."

"That's what you said."

"Yes, I said it." The man patted his chest confidently, "However, don't forget what you said, if you don't find it, you will pay me for it."

"Don't worry, I won't forget." After finishing speaking, Du Ruoying began to search him in public.Following the search method her brother had taught her, she first checked his bag, then the inside and outside pockets of the clothes, then the trousers, from the pockets to the trouser legs, and finally asked him to lift his feet to check the soles of his shoes.

Yet nothing was found.

It seemed that this man was not bluffing, he was really sure that she would not be able to find him.Realizing this, Du Ruoying gradually felt something bad in her heart...

Now, there are only three possibilities left in this matter - first, he did not steal the phone, she guessed wrong; second, he stole the phone, but he has an accomplice nearby to pick it up, and the phone has already been handed over to the accomplice; Third, he stole the mobile phone, and it was indeed on him, but it was hidden in a place where she would never find it.

The second possibility is obviously the highest.

Moreover, since the car has been moving, the accomplice must still be in the car.But in this way, she has to find out the thief's accomplice before the next stop, get the mobile phone from the accomplice, and prove that they are accomplices...

Otherwise, she would have to lose money to the thief in public.

But now, her mobile phone is completely dead, even if she borrows someone else's phone to call, it may be useless.As for the clues about the thief's accomplices, she had no clue at all.Could it be that he is about to experience the second social death scene today?

Thinking of this, Du Ruoying couldn't help feeling a little desperate...

"Oh, uncle, my girlfriend's mobile phone—how did it get into your pocket?" William suddenly shouted pretentiously.

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted to him, and he actually took out half of the mobile phone from another uncle's trouser pocket. The crystal pink mobile phone case had a peaceful gradient of red in the middle, which is not difficult to see , the owner of the phone should be a girl, not an uncle.

Du Ruoying recognized it at a glance, it was her cell phone.

Unexpectedly, the uncle who was stolen and obtained was suddenly shocked: "I... I didn't know such a thing existed!"

William took the entire phone out of his pocket, lifted the pitch-black screen high, placed it horizontally near his eyes, and tilted it slightly left and right.With the bright light outside the window, you can see several fingerprints printed on the screen, one of which is particularly clear with a slender gap, and the other fingerprints with yellow-brown oil stains are more blurred.

"Pretending to be innocent doesn't work." He smiled and moved the uncle's hand to eye level to observe the other's ten fingers—there was oil stains, the smell of engine oil—it smelled like those on the phone screen. The fuzzy fingerprints were exactly the same.

But this uncle's hand doesn't have a slender gap, so the fingerprint with a slender gap can only be left by the person Du Ruoying caught...

They are indeed accomplices.

William stated this reasoning succinctly.After hearing the truth, everyone gasped in admiration.

"Boy, that's amazing!"

"It's almost like a detective in a TV show."

"The little girl is really lucky to have such a reliable little boyfriend!"

Seeing William surrounded by everyone's praise, Du Ruoying's cheeks couldn't help but flushed.However, at the moment when she lost her mind, the thief in front of her suddenly showed her a dagger—he was at the end of his rope, so he might as well take this last chance to force her to break out of the encirclement, maybe there is still a possibility of escape.

However, there were too many people around, and his movements were greatly restricted.In addition, several passengers with sharp eyesight and quick hands rushed towards him at the same time, hugging the thief's limbs and waist tightly, preventing the blade from swinging.

Facing the two subdued thieves in front of him, William just smiled: "I don't think you will mind fulfilling the previous promise - accompany us to get off at the police station? After all, the police must be better than me in terms of fingerprint inspection." Much more professional."
