Chapter 37 What to Wear Under the Emperor's New Clothes

There was no reply from this side, and the other side asked again.

Chi Er cleared his throat: "Excuse me, is this editor-in-chief Fang?"

"It's me, what can I do for you?"

It really was this person.

Chi Er didn't know what to say. The original purpose of the call was to confirm the identity of the other party. Now that the identity is confirmed, how should he answer the call?

Editor-in-Chief Fang's tone showed impatience: "Excuse me, what's the matter with you? I'm very busy."

Seeing that the other party was about to hang up the phone, Chi Er panicked and blurted out: "It's the news about the girl's suicide that you reported."

There was silence on the phone for several seconds, and when he spoke again, Editor Fang's voice hesitated: "What's wrong with that news?"

"There is a problem with your report." Chi Er calmed down now, and thought about it while typing the manuscript, "Can we meet and talk?"

Xu Miao didn't know what Chi Er was doing, so she looked at him inexplicably.

Editor-in-chief Fang: "What's the problem? Our reports are all based on the facts of the interview. What's the problem?"

Put your shit, tell the ghosts, Chi Er sneered: "I have evidence in my hand, do you guys who work in the media still have morals?"

This remark annoyed Editor-in-Chief Fang, who snorted harder than Chi Er: "Whatever you want, I'm busy, so I won't accompany you."

Pat, hang up.

Chi Er wasn't angry either, he guessed the result when he heard that the bald man was on the other end of the phone.

Xu Miao asked him what was going on, and Chi Er told him how he "played" the editor-in-chief of Fang, and finally tapped the fixed phone number several times: "They added fuel to the report, and even posted on the Internet to trigger discussions among netizens. Make this matter a topic of discussion that the whole people cares about."

Xu Miao has also seen many similar incidents in real life, and immediately understood the routine of Editor-in-Chief Fang.

To put it simply, find a point that can be discussed. The bigger the conflict, the better, and the more concentrated the better. It is best to trigger large-scale discussions and quarrels, such as the relationship between parents and children in Xiaoqing's suicide case.

Some people like to participate in discussions without knowing the reason and think they are very wise. They talk about other people's things without any evidence or self-analysis. Anyway, they are not breaking the law.

After a few days, the heat will pass, and I will continue to point out the next thing.

Even if they prove their point of view is wrong, most of these people will not admit it, but find strange angles to continue to prove their correctness and the error of the opposing point of view. To them, refuting rumors is just a sophistry in another sense. They just think they are right, the truth.

When Xu Miao said this, Chi Er sneered: "They talk so much, they seem so awesome, even if they find out that they are wrong, can they admit it? Doesn't that mean that they admit that they were stupid before? They can only be stubborn The scalp is stubborn, and if you hold on, you really feel that you are right."

When Xu Miao thought about it, it was indeed such a reason. It was difficult to admit one's mistakes. Most of them were people who knew their mistakes and would not correct them. An apology did not mean that they really knew their mistakes, but more often it was pressure from the outside.

Chi Er calmed down and dialed the second number. This is a mobile phone number, which is listed separately with Editor Fang's phone number. It may have something to do with Xiaoqing's suicide.

It rang for a long time, and finally someone picked it up. It was a girl: "Hello."

The voice was hoarse and weak, Chi Er was stuck, and they didn't know who the other party was, so what should they say?

"Hey."

Chi Er squeezed between his eyebrows: "Hi, we're looking for..."

"Yuan Fei is gone, and the phone is with me." The girl whimpered suddenly, "Are you his friends? He is going to have a funeral today."

"..."

Chi Er's head went blank for more than a minute. He thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect that the owner of this phone number was gone.

Seeing something wrong, Xu Miao took the microphone in Chi Er's hand: "Hi, may I ask what Yuan Fei is..."

The girl's sobbing turned into howling: "It's not that crazy woman, that crazy woman... woo woo woo... Yuan Fei didn't do it on purpose... why..."

Human beings have different emotions when they cry. Some cry to release emotions, some cry in numbness, and some cry out of despair. The cry of a girl on the phone reaches Xu Miao's ears, which is desperate and hysterical.

Xu Miao and Chi Er didn't know what to say, they held up the microphone and waited, the crying continued, and finally, the other end hung up first.

Putting down the microphone, neither of them spoke, standing by the bed in silence.

There was a flash by the door, Xu Miao looked over, and No. 12 was standing outside: "How did you find it?"

Chi Er looked back, he was very impressed with No. 12, and accused him of cheating and changing cards in the second round of card drawing. Although it was easy to prove his innocence, he had paid attention to this person.

Xu Miao: "There is no result yet."

"I have some clues at hand, and I lack others." No. 12 leaned against the door frame, lazily, without any urgency, as if discussing what to eat for dinner, "I want to exchange with you, can I?"

Xu Miao looked at Chi Er, Chi Er thought about it and said yes.

Before the official exchange of clues, Xu Miao quietly asked Chi Er why he agreed, isn't he afraid that No. 12 will trick them with false clues?

"If I didn't want to agree before." Chi Er pointed to the mobile phone number on the book, "He plays the young man in the third scene of the second film, so we should be able to test whether he is lying or not."

Xu Miao is also clever, so she understood after a little thought. The two went to the living room, and No. 12 stood there. When they saw them, they said, "Let's exchange a clue, I..."

"I want to use the method of asking questions." Chi Er interrupted him, "One person asks one question, whatever you want, and you must answer truthfully."

Compared with sharing by yourself, asking questions is more sudden, and the fastest and most natural answer is to tell the truth. Lying requires skills and concealing thoughts.

No. 12 did not object, and let Chi Er ask first.

Chi Er: "Did the mother of the girl who committed suicide come to you?" During the conversation, Xu Miao kept her eyes fixed on the other party, and Xu Miao also looked at No. 12, not to miss a slight change of expression.

No. 12 nodded quickly: "He looked for me, but I didn't see her."

Chi Er's heart tightened, sure enough, Xu Miao also frowned.

No. 12: "It's time for me to ask. If someone told the media that the girl didn't die by suicide, but he couldn't provide evidence, he just said that he saw something happened, how would the media report it?"

Xu Miao was puzzled first: "We should call the police."

"I know, I mean, if you tell the media first."

Chi Er was about to answer, but he thought, no, he can't answer from his own standpoint, he is not a media person.

Number 12 urged: "Answer."

"and many more."

Chi Er squinted his eyes and let his head and eyes go blank. He had played the role of Editor-in-Chief Fang, and half of his soul had been infiltrated by Editor-in-Chief Fang. He imagined himself as Editor-in-Chief Fang, and thought about this issue from his standpoint and his psychological state.

Suppose someone told him that there was something hidden about Xiaoqing's suicide. Editor-in-Chief Fang's first thought would be that there was new report material, and there was a lot of discussion about the suicide incident. Now that new elements were added, would there be a big wave of discussion?

He shouldn't be chasing the truth of the news.

Chi Er calmed down and replied: "He will let this person tell the truth, and then make some instructive and vague reports, adding many elements to trigger a big discussion."

No. 12: "Is there no media with a real conscience? It really exists for the authenticity of the news."

Chi Er smiled: "Of course there is, but in many cases, isn't it that the sensational media jumps higher and more people see it? As long as someone knows the news, they will definitely make a fuss about it. People's energy is limited, they won't Deliberately pay too much attention, whoever jumps high will receive more attention."

"You mean the truth doesn't matter."

There was more than one question, but Chi Er still answered: "It's important, very important, but others don't necessarily care."

No. 12 didn't speak any more, and turned around and went into the kitchen.

Xu Miao didn't really understand the riddle they were playing just now, and now was not the time to ask, so she just asked, "Do you suspect that Xiaoqing's mother asked Yuan Fei?"

The four scenes of the first video are all related to Xiaoqing, and the second video seems to have nothing to do with it, but now it is confirmed that the first act, second act and fourth scene are also related to Xiaoqing's death.

The third scene in the second paragraph is a disturbed image of a young man wandering around in the room. If it is Yuan Fei, combined with the ambiguity of No. 12, Chi Er and Xu Miao have the same opinion.
