No such person [criminal investigation]

In meeting room 401.

The argument between Li Hai and Bai Ling continued.

The two had completely different evaluations of Cui Junjie. They quarreled until they blushed and their necks were thick. In the end, Bai Ling lost the wind and admitted that he was a little tempted by Cui Junjie before, but he felt resentful after he rejected him immediately.

So the two of them, plus Bai Xue, reached an agreement on Cui Junjie's statement.

From this point of view, the so-called argument that Cui Junjie deceived Qin Chunlan's feelings and caused her to hate because of love is untenable.

"If the murderer is not Qin Chunlan...who do you think it is?"

Bai Ling glanced at Xu Ci, then looked at Bai Xue opposite her, "Who is your friend? Why do you seem to understand?"

"That is, she is amazing, she is a good girlfriend I know..." Bai Xue blinked a few times, looked at Xu Ci and asked, "I just wanted to ask you, what do you think?"

Xu Ci glanced at these people one by one, and asked Bai Xue after a while: "Have you ever rehearsed this live broadcast?"

"It was rehearsed." Bai Xue said, "I told you, the company really takes it seriously this time."

"When did it start?" Xu Ci asked her.

"Just four days ago... the day I came out." Bai Xue said, "I thought I was lucky, and I just caught up. If I delay for another day, the opportunity will not be my turn. I really didn't expect..."

"Well. It started four days ago," Xu Ci asked her, "So is there any change in today's live broadcast compared to the rehearsal?"

Bai Xue thought for a while. "I haven't changed much... Bailing seems to be getting old?"

"Yes." Bai Ling said, "How boring is it to remain the same? I think you are just too timid and always afraid of making mistakes. How boring is that?"

Xu Ci: "Then where is Qin Chunlan?"

After communicating and confirming with these three people, Xu Ci can find that both Qin Chunlan and Bai Xue are more serious people.

Qin Chunlan has always been serious and rigorous.This may have something to do with her rather ordinary appearance.A girl like her can't gain any advantage through her appearance, she can only be successful if she is rigorous in her work ability and stronger than others.So she has always been strict with herself.

After the first day of rehearsal, Qin Chunlan did not change any details.

In contrast, Bailing and Baixue each have their own beauty. They have many advantages and are much easier than Qin Chunlan in taking the road of Internet celebrity and live broadcasting.

Among them, Bailing's family is in good condition. Although it is not a wealthy family, it is not a problem to provide her with food and accommodation, and occasionally buy a luxury.

She entered this business purely for fun, so she is relatively not very rigorous in her work.She was quick-witted and quick-witted when she came up with an idea, and Li Hai cooperated very well. The company saw that their impromptu performance sometimes had unexpected results, so they let them go.

This is also the reason why after the "blackout", the two people had no psychological burden and chatted directly regardless of the subject of the live broadcast.

As for Bai Xue, her family background is not good, and the conditions of signing with the company are harsh. She expects to become famous and make a lot of money, so she basically obeys the company's orders.

In addition, Cui Junjie's popularity is very high, and Bai Xue's previous image matches the theme of the live broadcast very well. The company directly pushed the "planning" matter on her, so the live broadcast between her and Cui Junjie had the most followers.

In this situation, Bai Xue didn't dare to act recklessly.

The company attaches great importance to Baixue's live broadcast, and keeps an eye on it closely. After the first day, many details of the script were changed, and the positions were changed many times in order to achieve the best presentation effect.

On the second day of rehearsal, the other two groups withdrew after a few tries. Only Bai Xue and Cui Junjie rehearsed for a whole day, and their lines and positions were not finalized until the evening.It has not been changed since.

Xu Ci frowned after hearing this.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Bai Xue couldn't help swallowing, and asked, "What's wrong with this?"

Xu Ci asked her: "You started rehearsing on Tuesday, and the lines and positions were set on Wednesday night. What time is it on Wednesday night?"

"Yes, it should be 11:[-] in the evening."

On the side, Bai Ling was a little speechless. "It's so late? I left in the morning. I still have a live broadcast in the afternoon."

"Bailing is gone, what about you?" Xu Ci looked at Li Hai.

Li Hai: "Of course I'm leaving too. Both of us are very flexible people, whoever changes a sentence, the other can immediately pick it up. It's not that strenuous."

"Where are Qin Chunlan and Shang Boran?" Xu Ci asked again.

"Shang Boran left early...about the same time as us. He told Qin Chunlan that if there is anything to be changed, just call him." Bai Ling said, "As for what time Qin Chunlan left, I don't know. Annie do you know?"

Bai Xue shook her head: "I'm not rehearsing on the same floor as her, and I don't know too well. But she has always been rigorous in her work, so she shouldn't have left early."

"The positions and lines of the group of Bai Ling and Li Hai are changing at any time, and it is impossible for others to know. What about you?" Xu Ci asked Bai Xue, "Is it possible for Qin and Shang to know the positions of you and Cui Junjie? "

After being stunned for three seconds, Bai Xue's eyes widened as she seemed to realize something from Xu Ci's words. "You mean, mean..."

"The killing time is only 11 minutes at full count, and the actual time is even less." Xu Ci said, "In such a short period of time, it is difficult for the murderer to kill a person accurately, or in the darkness where nothing can be seen." It's too big. Unless he knows Cui Junjie's position clearly in advance, and knows that this position is absolutely impossible to change.

"This is the reason why the murderer will not blame Bai Ling. Bai Ling will have an idea at any time, change the 'punishment' method, and let her partner Li Hai change positions. This is too uncontrollable for the murderer. On the contrary, the team of Cui Junjie and Bai Xue , it is relatively controllable.”

"Fuck——" Bai Ling came to his senses, and immediately looked at Xu Ci with admiration, "You have two brushes. In fact, Qin Chunlan's group is also uncontrollable. Chunlan is indeed very disciplined. But Shang Boran is not. He can receive calls from family members who are sick, and he always carries his mobile phone with him. Once the 'blackout' happened, he took out his mobile phone to illuminate every minute, how could the murderer kill?"

"That's right. Baixue obeys the rules, listens to the company's words, and will not change places at will. She will put her mobile phone in the utility room, which is far away from the living room... These constitute the murderer's desire to frame her and use her. factor. So—"

Xu Ci looked at Bai Xue, "You have to recall carefully, who might know your final position and line plan? Who were the staff who stayed with you until 11:[-] in the evening?"

"I'm going, I'm fucking..."

The murderer who intends to blame her is actually a staff member around her with a high probability. This fact made Snow Queen terrified. She took a few sips of water before she calmed down, "Let's think about it... Sister Amy from the company, Brother Hui... and a few makeup and hair artists..."

Xu Ci took out a notebook from his bag and asked Bai Xue to write down the staff list and basic information one by one.After she finished writing, she handed it over to Li Hai and Bai Ling to make supplements.

When Xu Ci was about to withdraw the list, Bai Ling said, "Wait."

After taking the list again, she picked up a pen and crossed out the three words "Huang Yuxin".

"Why did you get rid of her?" Xu Ci asked.

"If I remember correctly, she asked for leave on Thursday afternoon and didn't come." Bai Ling said, "I checked her circle of friends, and it seems that she returned to her hometown Linhai on Thursday, and I also left a message for her, saying that her seafood It's very good, I'm going to try it next time. She replied that she would invite me. She shouldn't be suspicious, right?"

"Is she your company's makeup and hair artist?" Xu Ci asked.

Bai Lingdao: "Our company does not have a makeup artist, we are looking for a partner. Huang Yuxin has her own studio, and we have a long-term cooperative relationship."

Xu Ci nodded, took the list, looked at the names of those people one by one, and asked: "Among these people, is there anyone who has a good relationship with Qin Chunlan and Shang Boran?"

Bai Xue asked back, "Are you suspicious of Chunlan and Shang?"

The time when these two people ended the live broadcast and left the villa was too coincidental.Xu Ci had to suspect that Xuanji was behind this.

It is not ruled out that the staff with knowledge of the situation will know the whereabouts of Bai Xue and Cui Junjie, tell the two of them, and then let one of them carry out the murder.

However, Xu Ci didn't explain much for the time being, but just opened his notebook and drew a diagram of the relationship between the characters.

"Whether you suspect it or not, let's check it out. Come on, let's talk slowly one by one."

After a while, the four people were still chatting in 401, but the police never came.

Bai Ling and Li Hai complained incessantly, and even Xu Ci felt that this time was too long.

——Did the police be delayed by something?

During this period, Bai Ling and Li Hai were already so sleepy that they fell asleep.

Bai Xue pushed the two of them, and seeing that they didn't respond, as if they were fast asleep, she tapped on the table in front of Xu Ci who was sorting out his notes.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ci didn't raise his head.

Bai Xue simply walked to his side. "Lend me your pen."

It seems that Bai Xue has something to say to herself.

Xu Ci looked up at her thoughtfully, and pushed the pen and notebook over.

"I wanted to send you my mobile phone... but my mobile phone is still with the police, so I haven't returned it to me." Said this sentence in a low voice, Bai Xue wrote a line on the paper——

"Shambrain was a pimp. He introduced me to that road."

After a pause, Bai Xue wrote again: "I am a small internet celebrity, I occasionally do small commercials, take some prints, and later signed an internet celebrity company. Although the signing conditions are harsh, it is not a problem to support myself. I shouldn't have fallen to this point. .

"I met Shang Boran at a dinner. At the beginning, he acted like the blue-faced confidant of all girls. He looked very reliable. He didn't know you at all, but he was actually trying to take advantage of you. The traits of a disgusting man , I let go of my guard and regarded him as a male best friend.

"Later, he often took me to play, eat in high-end restaurants, and go to luxury stores to receive the service of VIP shopping guides... I didn't know it, I was dazzled, and I got used to the days of purple, drunk and gold. After that, I I feel that the money I earned in the past is not enough. He chose to introduce a customer to me at a time when I was most embarrassed..."

After writing here, Bai Xue paused at the tip of her pen, and then put down the pen. She didn't look up for a long time.

Xu Ci frowned and looked at her, and saw that the corners of her eyes seemed to be a little red.It seems to feel sad.

After a while, Bai Xue raised her hand to wipe her tears, then raised her head and smiled self-deprecatingly at him. "When I say this now, you must think I'm hypocritical. I seem to be very happy in this line of work, but now I say that I am unwilling... It's so fake."

After a long time, Xu Ci finally shook his head: "There are times when everyone is pushed away, confused, and involuntary. At least you still have a choice. It's not too late to turn around."

"Choice... also." Bai Xue smiled wryly and wiped away tears, "Although I almost became a murderer... But I seem to be really popular this time. Maybe I really have the opportunity to use this fame to do something. Something, without having to go back to the old ways... just, if I think so, I feel a little sorry for Xiaojie...

"But no matter what, I want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I would really be regarded as a murderer."

Seeing that Bai Xue's mood improved, Xu Ci continued to perform the trick. "To the point where I like the girl... I really can't turn back."

Seeing that Xu Ci seemed depressed, Bai Xue also sighed.

Then she wrote in her notebook: "I have inquired for you in the name of my sister suspected of being infected with AIDS in the past few days and wanted to find out the scourge passed on to her. I really heard that one of Shang Boran's regular customers has AIDS. The origin of that person It’s not small, it’s the chairman of some kind of capital, or some kind of shareholder. It’s called Mei Yuchi.”

Mei Yuchi, the second shareholder of Huaiwang Biotechnology.

A few days ago, Xu Ci just received Qingfeng's Guan Hongwen and his candid photos of drinking and talking.

Xu Ci immediately turned serious.

Through the black-rimmed glasses and the drooping hair, it was difficult for Bai Xue to see his expression clearly.But after confirming that Xu Ci had read it, she wrote another sentence: "I heard that Shang Boran will buy some girls from poor areas in Southeast Asia, some of them will be brides for others, and some will be chickens. .But that's just hearsay, I'm not sure."

After writing this passage, she tore off the paper, and then Bai Xue didn't care about anything else, and ate them directly into her mouth.

On the surface, Shang Boran is a rich second generation who "hunts for beauty" everywhere, but he has not acquired the reputation of being a king of the sea or a scumbag. Instead, he has become good friends with all the beautiful girls.

But in fact, he just doesn't "hunt for beauty" for himself.He was hunting for the guests.

Shang Boran has the ability to buy and sell people in Southeast Asia and then send them to China, so he probably has a lot of power behind them.He has been hiding for so long, and he will definitely not allow anyone to betray him.

Bai Xue was afraid of being retaliated by him, so she didn't intend to tell his secret at first.Originally, she just wanted to tell Xu Ci about Mei Yuchi.

Unexpectedly, this encounter really made her too scared.She felt that she was willing to calm down and never engage in that business again.

However, she wanted to quit, but Shang Boran might not let her go.Shang Boran has too many indecent videos of her and the guests, and just posting a few screenshots is enough to ruin her.

Now she felt that she might be able to ask Xu Ci for help.

Xu Ci seems to be an upright person, and maybe he can help her report Shang Boran to the police.

Shang Boran fell, then she was free.

But she must not let Shang Boran know that she did it by herself, so she just ate the paper regardless.

Seeing this, Xu Ci really felt that this girl looked smart, but she was actually a bit naive.

He said: "Don't worry, I will not disclose your information under any circumstances."

Bai Xue smiled reassuringly.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Ci took out a lighter. "It's just that you don't need to eat paper. After removing my suspicion, the police returned all my things to me."

Bai Xue: "..."

After Xu Ci understood everything he could understand, Bai Xue was also sleepy, so she yawned and fell asleep on the table.

Xu Ci took out his phone again to check for any new news.

After all, Qi Zang and the others haven't come here for so long, so something probably happened.

It's just that the development of things is somewhat unexpected.

At first, he thought that there were some special revelations on the Internet, or some public opinion problems, so that Qi Zang and the others had to deal with the media, and even cooperate with the government to hold a temporary press conference or something.

Unexpectedly, there was another case——

Qin Chunlan posted a picture on Weibo without any text.In the picture there is a river with two origami boats on the bank.

A number of media were mobilized overnight, and they found the river quickly.There was a female corpse by the river, and the deceased was Qin Chunlan.

Cui Junjie was killed.

It is said that Qin Chunlan, a netizen who had a crush on him but was disliked, also died.

The two murders happened one after another, and related topics have been fried on the Internet.The hot search on Weibo is full of related news.The relevant [-]-line Internet celebrities have received unprecedented attention.

Soon, the accompanying picture about Qin Chunlan was also interpreted.

A while ago, a very popular, fantasy romance movie was released, which had a tragic ending.The male protagonist died, and the female protagonist carried his body to the river, and then committed suicide.

Before she died, she folded two paper boats and put them into the river, and made a wish to the river god, hoping that the boat would carry their souls to hell together, so that they could be together in the next life.

The picture at the end of the movie is beautiful and bleak——

The sinking sunset seems to imply the withering of life.Half of the river is sunken in the night, and half is reddened by the setting sun.The camera first showed a pair of corpses, then zoomed out and looked at the two boats on the river.The boat drifted away and was finally half submerged in the water.

The film stops abruptly in this unfinished state.

Whether these two paper boats have reached the distant place, no one knows.

Netizens generally believe that Qin Chunlan stacked these two paper boats in order to seek a future life where he can stay with Cui Junjie.

When she learned of Cui Junjie's death, she suffered so much that she committed suicide.

Before her death, her Weibo was expressing her vision after death.

This is death for love.

After reading the relevant information, Xu Ci quit Weibo and sent a WeChat message to Qi Zang. "Qin Chunlan is dead, at the investigation site?"

·

the other side.

Qi Zang and the others were so busy that some people were thrown off their feet.

He had just left one scene, and had to go out to the next one overnight. This time, Qi Zang's off-road vehicle brought Gong Nianci, Bu Qingyun and Bai Shuwei. They all yawned, but Qi Zang was the only one who was driving.

On the way, Gong Nianci couldn't help picking up the phone and taking a look. "There is something wrong with the almanac today!"

Bu Qingyun said: "I have read it a long time ago, and everything is suitable today."

Gong Nianci spread her hands. "Feudal superstition is really not advisable!"

Bu Qingyun laughed and said, "Every time the funeral parlor comes to take away the dissected corpse, you have to burn the paper. You think I don't know? You are the most superstitious person!"

Gong Nianci refuted seriously. "I pay attention to the sense of ritual, just seeing off the dead! Customs and traditions cannot be completely linked to feudal superstition!"

Several people chatted a few words, but quickly entered the working state and exchanged information with each other.

The initial results of the site survey and autopsy of Building 19 of Huating Villa have been released. Apart from temporarily excluding Bai Xue based on the blood information, there are still a few key points.

First, it is basically certain that Cui Junjie died of cardiac tamponade caused by a sharp object piercing the heart.Comparing the incision and the wound surface, the single-edged fruit knife found under the sofa was consistent, and no accident, it was the murder weapon.After the murderer finished his murder, he threw it at the scene.

A considerable number of fingerprints were detected on the knives.

Meanwhile, one knife is missing from the kitchen knife block.After comparison, this fruit knife is missing.

In this way, Internet celebrities and staff may touch this knife when they enter and leave the villa.The fingerprint comparison has lost its meaning for the time being, and it is of no help to deduce the murderer.

Second, the switch at the entrance of the living room was artificially damaged.

This should be done by the murderer.

The purpose is to prevent Bai Xue from going to the entrance to turn on the light before looking for the phone after a "power outage".

Once the lights are on, it is very difficult for the killer to move on.

Third, there was a thin blanket covered with blood on the sofa, and a cushion was hidden under the blanket. There was a lot of blood on the cushion, and after inspection, it was basically Cui Junjie's blood, not prop blood.

At the same time, the blood distribution on the cushion is very regular and characteristic, radiating from a central point in the lower right corner to the surroundings.The blood in the center is particularly thick.

After discussing with Gong Nianci and Bu Qingyun, the murderer probably picked up a cushion with his left hand to shield himself from being splashed with most of the blood when he used his right hand to kill with a knife.

Bai Shuwei couldn't help but said: "This murderer really has something... He has made sufficient preparations, leaving only a little blood on his body, and he has probably prepared clean shoe covers, gloves, and even a coat... …

"After killing the person, he put the blood-blocking cushion back on the sofa, threw the murder weapon into the bottom of the sofa, and then he took a few steps toward the stairs...

"He had to walk a few steps, because there was so much blood around the dead man that it would be useless for him to put new shoe covers there, and he could get blood and leave bloody footprints. So he walked some distance to a place where there was no blood. , Put on new shoes, new gloves, etc., and then leave...

"Of course, he is holding a mobile phone. By watching the live broadcast room, he can see that Bai Xue has turned off the audio and video in the live broadcast room, so he dared to use the mobile phone to turn on the light to see if there is blood on the ground...

"In this way, he left cleanly. If it weren't for observing the direction of the burr of the dripping blood, we couldn't accurately conclude that he was walking in the direction of the stairs."

"Reasonable." Qi Zang affirmed her guess, and asked Bu and Gong, "Is there any result in the analysis of the footprints in the central area around the deceased? Can you guess the size of the soles of the feet?"

Bu Qingyun shook his head: "Before I left, I specifically asked my colleagues in the trace inspection, and I was still analyzing it. But, you said that this time the murderer really has something. Scouting knowledge, would he wear oversized shoes on purpose?"

Qi Zang frowned: "It is indeed possible. But anyway, he can only wear it bigger, and it is impossible to make it smaller. At least it can draw a range."

After a while, Qi Zang and his party arrived at the scene.

This is a river near the community where Qin Chunlan lives.

There are stretches of woods around the creek, and beyond the woods are old houses that are being demolished. Bricks are scattered everywhere, which looks like a mess.The river itself is also very dirty, not to mention ugly and dirty, with a lot of plastic garbage floating around.

It is just at the junction of the two districts, very close to several factories, and has been lack of effective management.

At this moment, this place has been occupied by a large number of media people.

After the police arrived, they immediately pulled the cordon and dispersed the crowd.Many reporters are reluctant to leave, they just want to photograph the news related to the first murder, and it is best to add an analysis of the murder method, which will definitely get a lot of hits and comments.After all, too many netizens are staying up late at night just to stare at this matter.

After several persuasions, some people still refused to leave. Qi Zang took the trumpet and said sharply: "If you still don't leave, I will arrest you all and bring them back to the Public Security Bureau! There are reasonable reasons to suspect that you deliberately destroyed the physical evidence at the scene!

"Also, before the police releases a report, no one is allowed to post any pictures, texts, or videos about the scene! Otherwise, if there is a problem in the arrest process due to your leak, the police will definitely pursue your responsibility!"

"You have no reason to detain us, I want to report you!

"What's your police number! Are the current police so arrogant? You're protecting us, damn it!"

Qi Zang personally stepped forward to handcuff the man and handed it to Shan Kang who was beside him. "Bring him back to the Municipal Bureau for interrogation. Release him in 24 hours!"

The crowd finally dispersed like birds and beasts.

Beside the woods and by the small river, Qin Chunlan's body lay quietly.

In front of her were two small boats made of white paper, with their bows facing the river bank.

Beside her were a syringe and a medicine bottle.

The medicine bottle has a strong smell of alcohol, and the ingredients inside are not yet known.

"The lips and nails are cyanotic, and there are bleeding points on the conjunctiva of the upper and lower eyelids... It looks like mechanical suffocation. It's just that there are no strangle marks on her neck." Gong Nianci raised the gloves and looked at Bu Qingyun, "Physical and chemical experts , I think she died of poisoning. What do you think?"

Bu Qingyun nodded. "Agreed. For example, aconite can cause respiratory depression in bulbar palsy, which appears to be mechanical suffocation. Take it home for an autopsy and do a test to know exactly what the poison is."

"Wu|head|alkali..." Gong Nianci casually picked up the medicine bottle and syringe that had a strong smell of alcohol that fell beside the corpse, "Could it be that she brewed poison wine by herself and injected it into herself?"

At this time, the phone vibrated in his pocket, and Qi Zang picked it up to see that it was a message from Xu Ci.

Qi Zang replied: [Yes.did you see the news ]

Xu Ci: [Yes. ]

Qi Zang: [The murderer this time is really interesting.How can the media find it so quickly?I doubt it has anything to do with him.With so much media, the traces of the scene were completely destroyed]

After a moment of silence, Xu Ci sent a message: [Have you seen Qin Chunlan's Weibo? ]

Of course Weibo Qi Zang saw it.

Not only that, he also saw the relevant analysis.

Netizens said that Qin Chunlan got inspiration from the movie.The heroine of the movie committed suicide by the river and died for the hero.Qin Chunlan followed suit.

Qi Zang asked Xu Ci: "What do you think when you ask me this?" ]

Xu Ci asked him: [There are paper boats by the river, right? ]

Qi Zang looked at the two paper boats by the river, which were a little weirdly tanned by the moonlight, and his expression became a little soft as he thought of something.

After a while, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and actually answered Xu Ci's words honestly. [really.You expected well.So, what do you think? ]

Xu Ci: [Qin Chunlan's approach is not exactly the same as that of the heroine.In the movie, before the heroine committed suicide, she put two paper boats into the river and begged the river god to send their souls to hell with the paper boats and give them an afterlife.

[If Qin Chunlan really wanted to completely imitate the film and ask for an afterlife, she even risked her life, how could she guarantee that other links would go wrong?She will definitely put the paper boat into the river.But this is not the case.

[If the two paper boats were not by the river, we would not be able to think that she committed suicide imitating the plot of the movie based on the paper boat and the river.Weibo pictures alone are not enough, as long as the paper boat is not at the scene, her death cannot be strongly related to suicide.Therefore, the murderer must keep the two boats at the scene. ]

Xu Ci undoubtedly expressed his point of view very clearly——

He didn't think Qin Chunlan committed suicide.The paper boat was deliberately made by the murderer, and he wanted everyone to think that Qin Chunlan committed suicide.Of course, that Weibo can only be posted by the murderer.
