That night, Xu Ci and Qi Zang rarely worked overtime, so they ate together in that small apartment.

As usual, it was Xu Ci who cooked, and Qi Zang helped. During this period, he acted as the messenger, and told Xu Ci all the original words that Shu Yan told him, so that Xu Ci would not always worry about it.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ci, who was stirring the egg liquid with an egg beater, laughed after hearing this.

"What... are you laughing at?" Qi Zang was curious, "You don't believe what he said?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I think he's serious. You may be influenced by him and think that things at that age are very serious... It's really nothing. I didn't communicate with him about those things in detail, it's not that I don't value him as a friend , but I really didn’t take it seriously. I thought he passed by too.”

"Don't forget, I read a lot of psychology books. In adolescence, boys and girls are in the stage of growth and development. In fact, it is normal to have some sexual fantasies and sexual impulses. Otherwise, how come the nocturnal emission?"

Xu Ci's tone was flat, and he said in a scientific tone, "Shu Yan's EQ is low, and his popularity is too low, so he got closer to me. I can barely be considered good-looking, so it's normal for him to be confused for a while. Just Pure hormones, as he said. So it's totally fine. I don't take it seriously."

"Okay. You two can do nothing, then you...can you continue to be friends?"

Qi Zang looked deeply at Xu Ci, and said in a very serious tone, "I hope you have more friends. You always give me the feeling of a lone ranger. A person always needs the help and support of friends. Don't go too far Lonely."

Xu Ci's movement of stirring the egg liquid paused, and after a while, he continued to lower his eyes and continue to do what he was doing. "No. Don't worry."

Qi Zang looked at him for a while, then smiled again.Probably because he didn't want the atmosphere to be too heavy, he said, "But you said something incorrectly."

Xu Ci: "Which sentence is wrong?"

"Barely, sort of, passable...these words are all wrong." Qi Zang said.

There was another pause in the movement of stirring the egg liquid, and Xu Ci quickly changed the subject. "What about the suicide?"

For the time being, Qi Zang did not work overtime because of the suicide case as Xu Ci said. The case is currently being handled by colleagues from the Nanyuan Branch.

When Xu Ci asked, Qi Zang could only talk along his topic and briefly introduce the current situation to him.

After listening, Xu Ci asked him: "Isn't the public opinion very serious about this incident?"

Qi Zang felt a little sad. "After all, it involves people's livelihood. The victims of unfinished buildings have thought of many ways before, but they failed to attract attention. Now they have finally attracted attention, but the price is two lives...

"Look at the comments on the Internet. Many people learned through this incident that there are still people who can live in unfinished buildings. This is no different from the homeless people sleeping under the bridge. Speaking of which——"

Qi Zang asked Xu Ci: "What do you think is wrong?"

These two suicide cases have sparked a lot of discussion on the Internet, not only because of the tragic fact that someone lived in an unfinished building, but also because of the strong spiritual color behind it——

For example, Huo Yang, from when he saw Xiao Liu jumping off the building to when he went downstairs to check, it only took a few minutes at most.But the body just disappeared out of thin air.

Of course, most netizens are not superstitious, they still advocate science.

Netizens generally believe that the reason why the corpse disappears is probably because simple jumping off a building may not attract everyone's attention.With the supernatural color, the amount of related discussions suddenly increased, and then everyone was able to pay attention to the unfinished building of Xianjuyuan, and began to crusade against the developer behind it, Yuan's Real Estate.

Everyone also believed that the person who took the body and splashed paint and photos on Yuan's real estate was probably also a victim of the unfinished building incident.He planned this incident together with Xiao Wang and Xiao Liu.

Xu Ci said: "I basically agree that the purpose of this matter is to force Yuan's real estate to lose money or property by the power of public opinion. But in fact, just because two people died for this is enough to achieve the goal. The so-called 'creating supernatural topic so that it can be widely discussed' does not hold water. For example, if it were you, what would you do?"

Qi Zang said: "If I want to attract public attention by committing suicide, I will choose to do it during the daytime on weekends. There are many people at that time, and there are many people who have the opportunity to see me jump off the building. I can definitely take I went up to the rooftop with a loudspeaker and loudly complained about Yuan’s real estate in order to attract spectators. I could even threaten the police with death. If the police or someone else is willing to help me, I don’t have to die. This is the logic of normal people.”

"Even if the logic of the two deceased is different from ordinary people, it's not impossible to plan like this. But if the plan is to succeed, there must be a premise—"

Xu Ci added, "The premise is that they can ensure that someone can see them jumping off the building, and can immediately run downstairs to check the situation.

"Xiao Liu knows that Xiao Huo on the opposite side often looks at her; Xiao Wang knows that the person named Ah Zheng who lives across from him will dance at that time, so that the two of them can jump off the building at the right time. It is indeed possible. But Xiao Huo and Ah are seeing them After jumping off the building, will you go downstairs to check immediately? Not necessarily.

"What the witnesses will choose to do is probably not something that Xiao Wang and Xiao Liu can control. Even if they know the witnesses and their personalities very well, there is no guarantee that they will go downstairs immediately that night. For example, in case that The witness named Xiao Huo lost his love and lost his job. In a state where he can't take care of himself, he doesn't want to take care of anything at all?

"How could Xiao Wang and Xiao Liu easily lose their lives for something that is not [-]% sure? They won't."

If a man wants to accomplish a great feat by sacrificing his life, he must make sure that the sacrifice will be meaningful and effective.

But the two suicides could not be sure that the witnesses would go downstairs to check and call the police.

If the witnesses ignored it, or even if they just didn't go downstairs to check as soon as possible, they wouldn't find the strange thing tainted with supernatural color like "the corpse disappeared immediately after falling from the building".

So, without the gimmick, how can the two deceased attract social attention?Their sacrifice will be in vain.

Xu Ci said: "The disappearance of the corpse is to create a supernatural phenomenon. In this situation, there must be a third person rushing to remove the corpse before the witnesses arrive at the scene. This matter cannot be seen by others, so they will choose Do this at night. After all, there are no street lights in the unfinished building community, and the third person who moved the corpse is not easy to be found. But if this possibility is ruled out, why did Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang choose to jump at night instead of during the day? ?

"In the dark neighborhood, jumping off a building at night is not easy to be seen, not to mention that even the corpses have disappeared... How can these two dead people cause public opinion to condemn Yuan's real estate through their deaths? They died completely in vain. Unless—"

At this time, Qi Zang and Xu Ci said in unison: "Unless these two people are not dead at all."

After a short pause, Qi Zang said: "So, it is very likely that this is not a serial murder case at all, but just a 'fake death' drama. The reason why Xiaoliu and Xiaowang didn't do this during the day is because there is no way to do it during the daytime." ...they need the cover of darkness."

"Yeah." Xu Ci nodded, "Take Xiao Liu as an example, she knew that Xiao Huo would look at her every day, and even waved to him to say hello. So at that time in the evening, she pushed a dummy downstairs in front of Xiao Huo. Xiao Wang, who cooperated with her, had long been hiding downstairs. When the dummy fell, he quickly dragged the dummy downstairs, and that was all.

"Xiao Wang's "jumping off a building" is similar, except that the person who handles the dummy downstairs has become Xiao Liu. During the day, the dummy is too obvious. They can only do it at night. Because the people on the opposite building can't see clearly, they can only do it at night. A dark shadow will be seen."

The discussion between Xu Ci and Qi Zang seemed to be confirmed the next day.

On this day, Xu Ci was busy with projects as usual, while Qi Zang inquired from his colleagues in the sub-bureau. After investigation, the sub-bureau can basically confirm that the photos of the two deceased have traces of PS.

The bodies of these two people have not been whereabouts, and the death photos are P. It can basically be considered that there are suspicions of fraud in these two death cases.

"There are not many people living in that community. It is a coincidence that these two people jumped from the building and were seen by two witnesses respectively. It cannot be ruled out that the two witnesses and the two people who jumped from the building were accomplices. The four of them were acting together. Create public opinion. Logically, we can understand that they are desperate and want money. But fake death and false alarm... They are really breaking the law. Hey...

"However, neither of the two witnesses confessed. We will bring them back to the bureau for further investigation."

These are the original words of the branch policemen chatting with Qi Zang.

During this period, public opinion on the Internet is developing in unexpected places——

The real names of Xiaoliu and Xiaowang, the two "dead persons", were revealed by everyone. One was Zhang Xiaoliu and the other was Li Fuwang.

Zhang Xiaoliu works as a housekeeper in Jinning City. She is good at cooking, especially Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine, so she is very popular among employers.She needs to provide food and clothing for her parents in her hometown. The house in Xianjuyuan is the hard-earned money she has saved. Now that the money is in vain, and her parents in her hometown are sick and use the money, she is completely desperate.

Li Fuwang is a worker, and he does hard work. Netizens haven't found out about his family situation for the time being, but there must be no other way for him to reach a dead end.

Zhang and Li were portrayed as heroes by netizens in just two days.They sacrificed their lives for the rights and interests of the other hundreds of owners, they are incomparably great.

Some of them made up the love story of Li and Li, saying that they are a pair of great hard-working mandarin ducks; some people drew fanart and wrote fanart, shaping them both into tall and stalwart heroes.The two were sacrificed to the altar in this way.

At the same time, in addition to constantly insulting Yuan’s real estate-related accounts, netizens also continued to leave messages on related websites and Weibo official accounts of the Jinning City Police, urging them to find the corpse as soon as possible so that the two people can rest in peace. and urged them to deal with Yuan's real estate, and let them pay the price for cheating Everbright people's money.

Under the continuous public opinion offensive from netizens, the pressure on the police is also great.After all, if the unfinished problem of Yuan's real estate does not involve fraud or economic crimes, but is only caused by the capital chain, then it is a civil dispute with the owners of Xianjuyuan, which is really outside the jurisdiction of the police.

In addition, the police did not find any corpses. Although there were bloodstains left at the scene, and they were found to belong to Zhang Xiaoliu and Li Fuwang after inspection, they did not detect any substances such as brains. It was extracted from his own body and then left on the scene, in order to make the death look more real.

Therefore, four days later, the police issued an official notice, without any inferences, only stating the facts—the body was not found; the photo of the death belonged to P.

What even the police didn't expect was that after a short period of fermentation, the direction of public opinion has changed rapidly-everyone on the Internet has believed that Zhang and Li are putting on a show, and more and more people are criticizing them. died, and there are actually many people who agree with it.

Qingfeng Group has recently announced the acquisition of Yuan's Real Estate within the group.

The internal control department is also responsible for some risk management and control, as well as planning in advance the integration of related processes after the acquisition. Recently, it has been in contact with people from Yuan's Real Estate.Therefore, everyone in the department is also paying attention to this matter.

At noon, when Xu Ci was busy with the project, his assistant Meng Yu bought food for him from the cafeteria. The two had dinner together in the office, and Meng Yu just casually mentioned the news about Yuan's real estate.

"That's why it's also very strange. Shouldn't it be a good thing that no one died? Although the method of those two people who faked their deaths was inappropriate, they were also suffering in essence... If what they did violated the law, then the law punished them Good. But they don't deserve to die, do they?"

Meng Yu took a bite of potato shreds, "I really don't understand these netizens. What kind of mentality do they have?"

"Netizens have created a hero. In the stories they fabricated and imagined, the hero sacrificed for the benefit of others. Because of sacrifice and death, the hero becomes great. Now that death does not exist, the hero will naturally fall Altar..."

Xu Ci shook his head, "Normal. In fact, everyone is just using this to vent their anger. The hero in their fantasy is gone, and the culprits are Wang and Liu, so they started to criticize these two people.

"Don't pay too much attention to those comments, and you don't have to have any negative thoughts about human nature. I think most people are normal people, but they just spend their days on Weibo. There are actually relatively few people who like to leave comments on it. It just seems that those strange things have a large base. It's all an illusion."

Reluctantly comforting his subordinates, Xu Ci opened the browser, Weibo and other apps, and read all the relevant information.

This matter looks like it's about to come to an end.As long as Zhang and Liu are found out, the truth will be revealed.

But for some reason, Xu Ci's premonition was very bad, and he always felt that things might not be that simple.

After thinking about it carefully, he found the source of this premonition——

How did two people who have no education and only rely on labor to earn money think of this method of feigning death to guide public opinion?

And who owned those fake photos, so that it took a long time for the technical police of the sub-bureau to determine that they were indeed fake photos?
