Mystery Pursuit

In order to find out the truth of the matter, Yu Ye decided to have a separate conversation with the remaining three members of the reasoning agency. After Wu Fei, Wu Yuzhou, and Yu Ye talked to different people separately, they returned to the Municipal Bureau to summarize the situation.

Qu Chen admitted that he liked Tang Qingqing, but refused to admit that Zhou Meng liked him. He stated that he and Zhou Meng were ordinary friends, except that it had nothing to do with it. Other things were rumors, not the truth.

The Tang Qingqing in his mouth is not a materialistic girl who loves vanity. On the contrary, Tang Qingqing is beautiful, motivated and pursued, and her novel grades are not good. She still persists silently. She is beautiful and resilient and knows how to persist until a woman is rare. Qu Chen has always liked her .

As for Zhou Meng, Qu Chen firmly insisted that the relationship between the two was very ordinary, and the question about Zhou Meng was prevaricated by being unclear. Tang Qingqing and Zhou Meng also claimed that they did not know about his cold war quarrel.

In a small group of six people, four of them have emotional disputes, and the other two, Liu Na is Tang Qingqing's fan girl. In her eyes, Tang Qingqing is the same as Qu Chen, a beautiful and perfect goddess.

Regarding Zhou Meng, Liu Na's remarks are somewhat different.

Qu Chen is the president of the reasoning club. He usually organizes activities with them. Not only is he strong in leadership, but he also looks good. Besides, he is also the president of other clubs. He is very popular. There are many girls who like him, and Zhou Meng is one of them. .

Zhou Meng is more paranoid, and she likes him to the point of being obsessed with morbidity.

He used to secretly take pictures of Qu Chen's personal life like an illegitimate meal with a celebrity, and then printed out the photos and pasted them in a notebook to look through.

Before Qu Chen fell in love with Tang Qingqing, he had a girlfriend before, and the relationship between the two was fairly stable. At that time, Zhou Meng had just fallen in love with Qu Chen, and when he learned that he had a girlfriend, he was unhappy in all kinds of ways. Qu Chen's girlfriend, in order to force them to break up, even lied that she was pregnant with Qu Chen's child... In the end, Qu Chen's ex-girlfriend couldn't bear it and proposed to break up.

Zhou Meng turned into a dead end, and it was useless to persuade anyone, because Qu Chen once wanted to disband the reasoning club and no longer have any relationship with Zhou Meng.

Gathering with like-minded people is undoubtedly a joy. Everyone does not agree to disband. Qu Chen is the founder of the group, and his relationship is deeper than others. He did not intend to disband, but Zhou Meng forced him to do so. Thought, after everyone's persuasion, he endured it.

Qu Chen became single again, and Zhou Meng was quiet for a while.

After staying together for a long time, young people will inevitably develop feelings for each other. In the later days, Qu Chen gradually became interested in Tang Qingqing. Due to Zhou Meng's existence, he did not dare to confess his love at first. Chen had no intention of saying that he liked Tang Qingqing.

From then on, Zhou Meng pointed the finger at Tang Qingqing again, and used the method he used to deal with Qu Chen's ex-girlfriend to deal with Tang Qingqing. Tang Qingqing was so annoyed that he had a big fight with her. how good.

People who know the truth are more or less inclined to Tang Qingqing. After all, she has done nothing wrong. In this way, Zhou Meng has become an outlier in the reasoning agency. They have secretly studied and tried to kick Zhou Meng out of the group, but Zhou Meng Because he is obsessed with Qu Chen, like a dog's plaster, no one can drive him away.

This stalemate has lasted for a long time. On the surface, everyone treats Zhou Meng the same as before, but in their hearts they are very sensitive to her. Starting from this summer vacation, for some unknown reason, Zhao Sheng suddenly entangled Zhou Meng.

Zhao Sheng is also a bit paranoid, two paranoid, maltose stuck together, and then pulled towards different ends, Liu Na once inadvertently overheard Zhao Sheng calling Zhou Meng, saying that if you don't keep your promise, I will kill you you.

Liu Na didn't know what Zhou Meng promised to Zhao Sheng, but the word "kill you" made her shudder. Not long after these words were said, Zhou Meng was really killed. Liu Na and Tang Qingqing had the same opinion, thinking that Zhao Sheng was the murderer .

Another independent being in the group is Wang Yaorong. He has neither emotional entanglements with these people nor is he attached to any one. Because of this, he expressed his thoughts without any scruples in the last conversation.

Also because he didn't participate in it, he didn't know the details of many things. In addition, he was preparing for an internship in his senior year, and sometimes he didn't come to the reasoning club party.

Wang Yaorong tends to be more rational. He doesn't talk about people and things he doesn't understand, and doesn't give evaluations. He only talks about things he knows and grasps.

Tang Qingqing's novel, he gave an objective evaluation, is a moderate online suspense novel. If he hadn't met Tang Qingqing, he would not have read "The Strange Case".

At that time, Tang Qingqing read this book entirely because of Tang Qingqing. For a while, she was often depressed. Everyone asked the reason and learned that she was anxious because of poor grades in the novel.

In order to alleviate Tang Qingqing's anxiety, Qu Chen organized everyone to become readers, encouraged Tang Qingqing, and recommended it to classmates and friends around him. At that time, the relationship between Zhou Meng and Tang Qingqing had not completely deteriorated, and several people worked together to help Tang Qingqing promote it.

There are only a few friends around who read novels. The promotion of a few of them did not bring much change to Tang Qingqing's novels, and the results were still tepid. It was not until Zhou Meng was killed and "The Strange Case" was hyped up on the Internet that it became a complete hit. .

Zhou Meng's eyes were gouged out, and his death was the same as in the novel, and suddenly a post appeared and a Weibo big V reposted it. All kinds of coincidences came together, which inevitably aroused suspicion. Wang Rongrong thought it was Tang Qingqing, who planned it out for hype and popularity. of.

On the night of the No. 12 incident in July, the five people who had been in contact with Zhou Meng had all talked to the police so far. The next step was to brainstorm and arrange the next work tasks with Yu Ye.

Wu Fei: "Judging from what the five members of the reasoning agency said, there are two most suspected ones, Tang Qingqing and Zhao Sheng.

Before Tang Qingqing was the author, we suspected that this case was a homicide deliberately created by the author for hype and marketing. Now this situation still exists and has been confirmed by more people.

There are two main sources of Zhao Sheng's suspicion, first, his paranoid character, and second, his emotional factors with the deceased Zhou Meng, but I have a question about this. If the murderer is Zhao Sheng, why did he use the methods in the novel to kill people? "

Cheng Xiaolu: "Zhou Meng's obsessive obsession caused Qu Chen's two relationships to break apart. Zhou Meng's behavior brought him great trouble. I think Qu Chen is more suspicious. To him, getting rid of Zhou Meng is like unloading. Losing the stone on his back, he would never have a good relationship with Zhou Meng.

As for imitating the plot of the book, Qu Chen liked Tang Qingqing and knew that her greatest wish was to make the novel popular.

Kill Zhou Meng, take off this dog skin plaster from his body, and at the same time help the person he likes fulfill his wish, killing two birds with one stone. "

Lin Jie: "I agree with Cheng Xiaolu's statement that although Zhao Sheng has an awkward personality, there is no reason for him to imitate the case in the book and make Tang Qingqing popular.

Qu Chen and Zhou Meng didn't live in a dormitory, and the time for committing crimes was relatively loose, and they were men with strong strength. "

Wu Fei: "Is it possible? The murderer is not on campus at all, but just came to the school to commit crimes randomly?"

"If Zhou Meng's method of death is not related to "The Strange Case", this possibility is very high, but the way of death is the same now, which means that the murderer read "The Strange Case". This book was not popular before, and not many people have read it. , the deceased happened to be in the school, so the murderer is more likely to be in the school, and he might know the author." Yu Ye paused and asked, "How tall are Qu Chen and Zhao Sheng?"

Cheng Xiaolu: "They are all about 1.7 meters three, and even Tang Qingqing is more than 1.7 meters. The appearance seen by the witnesses, these three people are all in line.

By the way, we can go to their dormitory and search for white nylon gloves. "

Wu Fei: "It's useless, that kind of glove is sold everywhere in the store, and the murderer will probably dispose of it after using it once, and won't take it back and wait to be discovered."

Everyone chatted with each other for nearly an hour, but Wu Yuzhou never said a word. Yu Ye asked as usual: "Team Wu, what do you think?"

"No." Wu Fei and the others have mentioned Wu Yuzhou's thoughts, and he didn't say anything about other unsure thoughts.

After the meeting was over, Yu Ye was dragged to the corridor by Lin Jie, "Don't work overtime tonight, Lao Liang celebrates his birthday, last year we didn't make it in time for his birthday, so it's unreasonable not to go this year."

"Okay, did you buy a gift?" Yu Ye asked.

"I'm as busy as a top, I don't have time to buy gifts, let's give out red envelopes, it's economical and affordable, he can buy whatever he wants."

Yu Ye: "..."

"Besides this, I also want to tell you that Lao Liang wants to order porridge... together with Wu Yuzhou."

Yu Ye raised his eyebrows, and said in a firm tone, "He can't go."

Lin Jie raised his eyes, "Why?"

"The last time he attended your fake birthday party as Wu Yuzhou, this time he went to admit to you that he is Zhou Qizheng."

Lin Jie nodded, expressing that it made sense, and then sighed, "Liang Yuxuan will try to make a phone call himself. I got Wu Yuzhou's phone number from me. It's up to him to see if anyone can go."

Wu Yuzhou was a little surprised when he received a call from Liang Yuxuan. When he learned of the birthday invitation, he immediately refused on the grounds that he was busy.

Liang Yuxuan seemed to have guessed this kind of result long ago, and didn't care about it. He chatted nonsense, and talked about the last time the four of them drank together. be friends.

Wu Yuzhou responded, always citing his busy work as an excuse and not letting go.

Liang Yuxuan was not in a hurry, showed 100% sincerity, and invited over and over again. Later, seeing that he couldn't please, he said directly: "Congee Congee, this is boring. We have eaten and lived together for more than a year, and you are not dead. Didn't tell us, returned to Beijing quietly, and changed identities... These things are over, let's not mention it, I will pick you up later, let's chat first, I am naturally happy that you come for your birthday, and I will not come if you don't come It's nothing, mainly because I haven't seen you for so many years, I miss you very much."

The matter has been said to be blunt, Wu Yuzhou did not refuse again, Liang Yuxuan went to the police station ahead of time to pick up Wu Yuzhou.

The two went to the bar. On the stage, young singers sang folk songs in a low voice. Liang Yuxuan first filled two glasses of wine and lightly touched the glasses, "It's been 12 years. If nothing else, I'm very happy that you are alive."

This life for dozens of years is like a lonely long-distance train. People come and go at each station, get together and then leave. Some people will become strangers for the rest of their lives, and there will be no intersection. After 12 years of not returning, there are still people waiting and thinking about it. Wu Yuzhou has a sore nose and can't say anything.

12 years ago, the public’s acceptance of homosexuality was very low, and they would be called perverts. From the first day Liang Yuxuan and Lin Jie knew Zhou Qizheng’s sexual orientation, they never laughed or looked down upon him. Knowing that he was with Yu Ye, it was normal look at.

I haven't seen each other for many years, and there is still no sense of alienation. Everything seems to return to the long-ago college days.

Wu Yuzhou didn't speak, and Liang Yuxuan didn't care. He looked at Wu Yuzhou carefully with squinting eyes, smiled and said: "You have changed so much, a soft cat has become a tiger..." He raised his glass and collided with Wu Yuzhou again.

Wu Yuzhou smiled, lowered his head to drink, and the two chatted for a while, Liang Yuxuan suddenly said: "We have known each other for so many years, I will not talk nonsense, in fact, I really want to know, how do you feel about Yu now?" ?”
