"Actually, Meng Yu and I are not good friends."
Different from the weakness and panic last time, Lin Bei's eyes were clear, and his brows showed the ability of a manager.
"I see you, firstly, my condition is evil, Shi'an has a good reputation in this regard. Secondly... I know that person has been following me recently. But as soon as I approached the police, he hid and did not show up."
"I really had no choice but to use you two to lure him out. I didn't expect him to go directly to the knife... I'm really sorry."
She lowered her head in a standard apology gesture.
"As compensation for you two - this is all Mr. Rose's information. I asked people to sort it out. Next, I will use my resources to fully cooperate, hoping to help you two."
After all, he is a shrewd businessman, and he has everything he needs to do.
As the main recipient of the apology, Zhong Cheng said he was obviously more concerned about the information: "It doesn't matter."
He stared closely at Lin Bei's cell phone, as if intending to dig out the information with his eyes.
Lin Bei waited for a while and realized that this person really didn't intend to exchange a few words of favor. She smiled self-deprecatingly and straightened her posture.
Lin Bei actually looked down upon Gao Mengyu.
The shot only shows bouquets of flowers and quiet streets at night, and the composition is very beautiful. Mr. Rose occasionally interacts with fans, sometimes revealing a little about his "tragic love", and sometimes answering fans' love worries, just like a late-night radio anchor.
Zhong Cheng said that if he counted the days, it would be the time when Gao Mengyu moved to the apartment.
As a senior salesperson, Xie Chao is a eloquent speaker and knows all about manufacturing topics. In the video, Mr. Rose is polite and his voice has been processed to appear particularly gentle and sad.
Mr. Rose wears a suit and a top hat and always holds a bouquet of bright roses. In the short video, he always stays at an intersection that is difficult to identify, quietly staring at his true love.
Maybe Gao Mengyu didn't know that the suggestion of "taking the postgraduate entrance examination" was just a perfunctory cliché made by Lin Bei.
He said that now he would not disturb her life, but just wanted to wait for another chance.
"But Xie Chao had a car accident two weeks ago. Didn't Mr. Rose just die of illness a few days ago?" Yin Ren silently browsed the video, and the weird sound effects made his brain hurt.
He said they started dating in high school and gave each other their first love and youth. He said that he understood her loneliness. He was too busy and not considerate enough for her. He knew it was his fault.
The story this time is different from what Lin Bei said before.
Smooth conversation, nice voice, and just the right amount of mystery. Although the connotation of "Mr. Rose"'s speech is slightly lacking, the literary flavor is a bit overwhelming. But for the platform audience, this image is already "very attractive".
"If Xie Chao is Mr. Rose, everything makes sense. He knew me when he was alive, and of course he can find me when he is dead... Judging from the time, this account may have been created by Xie Chao to save her. He is smart and can do this Kind of thing.”
Last Christmas, this account was discovered by local media and became completely popular. At the beginning of the year, "Mr. Rose" officially became Haigu's leading anchor and made a lot of money.
At first, the two only chatted about cats in their free time, and they were considered acquaintances. Later, I didn’t know whether Gao Mengyu had no one to talk to, or whether she thought Lin Bei had “seen the world”, so she began to cautiously mention her troubles in life. However, the more she talked, the more impatient Lin Bei became.
When he was a student, Gao Mengyu had a weak temper. After many years, Gao Mengyu has not made any progress and is still working as an on-call nanny for Xie Chao. Lin Bei listened to her trivial grievances for three years. It was not until her beloved cat was strangled to death that this obedient little girl thought of breaking up.
Lin Bei was accidentally insulted and harassed by Xie Chao, and Lin Bei deliberately alienated Gao Mengyu. If Gao Mengyu hadn't disappeared four days ago and strange things suddenly happened to him, Lin Bei would have almost forgotten the two of them.
Gao Mengyu's only advantage may be his soft heart. She likes to rescue stray cats and dogs, and is even willing to pay to have them neutered and adopted. Seeing that she was very familiar with the pet resources in Haigu City, Lin Bei reluctantly kept this connection.
Among Lin Bei's files, there is a collection of Mr. Rose's autobiography of his love history.
At first, there were only a few bystanders. However, day by day, his fans gradually increased.
"'Mr. Rose' was not signed by our studio, it was registered in November last year... "
Lin Bei has obviously studied Mr. Rose. His most famous video clips have all been edited, and she showed them very skillfully -
"Do you know how much that account is worth?" Lin Bei did not answer directly, but asked a question.
Yin Ren was at a loss. He subconsciously turned to Zhong Cheng and said, but Zhong Cheng said that he had the same confusion on his face.
Lin Bei was helpless: "After the explosion, Mr. Rose signed a contract with a marketing company, and the account is probably owned by the company. Two weeks ago, Mr. Rose's live broadcast stopped for a while, saying it was because of physical discomfort... During that time, their company suddenly When we started recruiting senior emotional anchors, we guessed that Mr. Rose would quit.”
At this point, she suddenly fell silent and looked out the window.
"If we can't find a suitable receiver, instead of waiting for it to fade out of public view, it's better to arrange a tragic 'death' for the account and take the opportunity to make a lot of money."
Zhong Cheng said: "Are these your guesses, or...?"
"I have cooperated with them and planned three or four live broadcast topics for Mr. Rose. This time our studio also took over the business and was responsible for making the topic of 'Rose Withered' popular."
Lin Bei laughed twice, her expression a little ugly.
"Mr. Rose died of illness. He was infatuated throughout his life, and his first and last lover did not wait. Ha, there are many gimmicks. It just so happens that Mr. Rose's account focuses on mystery, and no one can figure out who he is."
Naturally, no one can know the truth.
Expensive dishes were served one after another, but Lin Bei did not touch the knife and fork: "No wonder Gao Mengyu is so stressed. She used to like to watch short videos. She did complain a few times recently, I thought it was just... "
She fell silent mid-sentence.
This time Yin Ren still looked confused, but Zhong Cheng frowned.
The collection inevitably includes comments from interactants. Mr. Rose has become famous, and naturally the discussion about the "mysterious woman" has never stopped. A gentler person would lament that she missed a rare good man in the world. Radical people inevitably curse and use any ugly words.
This account allows him to make money with his left hand and put pressure on his ex-girlfriend with his right hand, which is really convenient.
Three weeks ago, the ambiguous conversation on WeChat now has an explanation—
Gao Mengyu's revelation of Mr. Rose's true identity will indeed plummet the value of this account. But as long as she dares to show up in front of supporters, what awaits her will be harassment and abuse that directly affects her life.
After all, Haigu City is only that big.
She seemed to have no choice but to endure the pressure silently. "We will entrust our superiors to verify Mr. Rose's identity." Zhong Cheng nodded solemnly, "The clues you provided are very valuable, thank you very much. Yin Ren, we..."
The word "go" got stuck in his throat.
In the shadow of the dining table, a few hands seemed to grab his ankles.
Zhong Cheng said he looked down in confusion and didn't find anything strange. When he raised his head again, Yin Ren was sitting next to him, eating steak intently.
This man claimed to have amnesia, but his skill with a knife was quite good. I saw the light flashing on the blade of the knife, and the pieces of meat were cut neatly and cleanly. The cross-sections were tender red and glistening with juice. Yin blade meat is fun to eat, quiet to chew, and quite enjoyable to eat.
It's a pity that Zhong Cheng said he didn't want to watch it.
He paused and tried to get up: "Yin Ren, let's go back first..."
Again and again, something tugging at his feet, trying to hold him in place. Zhong Cheng said that he looked down at the speed of light, but still didn't see anything.
Zhong Cheng said: "...?"
He looked deeply at Yin Ren, who had just finished the steak and was dealing with the cream risotto on the plate. My partner was still eating intently, and the atmosphere was almost peaceful.
Illusion
Zhong Cheng said that he bent down and carefully checked whether there were any protruding decorations nearby. Unfortunately, he reached out and touched around, but found nothing. He even accidentally hit his head on the corner of the table when he stood up.
Zhong Cheng said he groaned in pain on the spot. He held his head and curled up slightly in his seat.
Yin Ren hurriedly came over and said, "Don't bother Brother Zhong. If you don't finish this meal, Miss Lin will feel sorry for you. Come on, try it quickly. This fruit snack is very delicious."
He even shared what he had on his plate with Zhong Cheng, his actions mixed with some strange guilt.
"The taste is refreshing and not very sweet." Lord Ghost King emphasized.
Yin Ren temporarily grew a few hands on his ankles to "retain" his partner, but he shrank quickly enough and the lights in the restaurant were dim, so Zhong Cheng said he probably didn't notice.
Lin Bei knew nothing about the events in the underworld under the table: "Mr. Zhong, don't be anxious. Let's eat in peace first. I have a second batch of information in the process of sorting out, and I can explain it to you two later."
Zhong Cheng said that he was finally willing to stay on the stool.
He scooped up some fruit dessert with a small spoon and carefully put it into his mouth. Immediately, his whole demeanor softened a lot.
Well, it's really delicious.
If you ignore the complex emotions in Lin Bei's eyes, the current atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful. But this relaxation didn't last ten minutes, when Zhong Cheng's cell phone started vibrating with a series of message notifications.
Zhong Cheng said that he touched his phone and saw Liang Shan's message pop-up window.
[The river flows eastward: Have you finished eating?]
[The river flows eastward: Isn’t it convenient for you to answer the phone? ?]
[Final success: inconvenient.]
[The river flows east: If there is an emergency, quickly find a place to answer the phone]
[Final success: Then why is it inconvenient to ask us?]
[The big river flows eastward:…]
[The big river flows eastward: @ Fruit Knife]
[The big river flows eastward: @ Fruit Knife Yin Ren sees it and returns to it]
five minutes later.
[The river flows eastward: @ Fruit Knife? ? ? Where are the people]
[Fruit Knife: Brother Liang, it’s already time to get off work [I’m about to cry]]
Comrade Liang Shan couldn't bear it anymore, and a call came to Yin Ren's mobile phone. The two had no choice but to say goodbye to the dining table and run to the nearest bathroom.
"Are you still checking Xie Chao's line?"
"Yes." Yin Ren replied wearily.
"There is no need to investigate. You will not be responsible for this matter from now on." Liang Shan sighed, "There are incomplete traces of 'gaps' in Gao Mengyu's apartment. Starting tomorrow, Minister Fu will lead a Class A investigation team on this matter." follow up."
Yin Ren was stunned: "But we found clues about Xie Chao..."
"We found out that he is Mr. Rose, right? The evil ghost has been captured, and someone recognized his image. It is indeed rare for the newly deceased to transform into a evil ghost of this level, but it is not without precedent. The focus now is on the 'gap' '—The danger level of the devil is completely incomparable."
Zhong Cheng said he had taken his cell phone: "But Miss Lin can testify that Gao Mengyu was also affected by this 'abnormal phenomenon'."
Liang Shan: "Think about it, if it wants to kill Lin Bei, it can only use evil energy to influence her spirit and confuse her enemies to commit the crime. Even if it really attacks Gao Mengyu, it has no ability to make her disappear from the world."
The two didn't reply.
"...Don't be discouraged. This is how our investigation goes. It's normal to look in the wrong direction. At least the 'gap' idea was given by you two. You did a good job."
Liang Shan quickly comforted him.
"Go to rest early, your work is over."
The author has something to say:
[Almost crying] is an emoticon in WeChat√
Xiao Yin: Woo hoo, but it’s off duty time!
Xiao Zhong: (eating fruit snacks silently)
Xiao Zhong, it will be difficult for you to get promoted if you criticize your seniors like this, let me tell you—
