On March 27th, Chen Shi came to the bureau to read all the evidence of the case. He did so out of a slight suspicion.
In the follow-up investigation, the police found several dead people killed by Xu Guolong through clues provided by Xin Bai. They were all abandoned in the suburbs. After checking their identities, the police found that these people had no contact with Xu Guolong.
They are website editors who have refused to pay Xin Bai's manuscript fees, fellow writers who exchanged opinions with Xin Bai on forums, netizens who have repeatedly banned pirating articles in Tieba, and female liars who use blind dates to cheat Xin Bai for money and sex.
Counting the fat man who scammed the manuscript before, all the five deceased had offended Xin Bai. Xu Guolong’s "love" was really selfless and great. He wiped them out of the world one by one with the ultimate method, but this also caused a bit of truthfulness. Doubt, because Xin Bai is a vested interest.
While browsing the testimony, Lin Qiupu suddenly found him and said, "Have you read the novel that you just updated?"
"Well, didn't you say that the book is third-rate, why are you still chasing it?"
"Xian... I'll just take a look at it when I'm idle."
Chen Shixin thought that the novel has now been updated with 2 million words. Lin Qiupu continued: "The latest volume is about a small well-known author who was kidnapped by a fanatic fan. The whole thing is exactly the same as this case. But in the end, there was another reversal. It was the writer who trained the kidnapper and used his hand to get rid of people who were unfavorable to him. Finally, he killed the donkey and died without evidence... I can't help thinking that that night, he was clearly protected by the police. But I have to go to Xu Guolong alone. Will this matter be suspicious?"
Chen Shi muttered, "I think this is just another possibility he is exploring in the novel. The novel is full of twists and turns."
"How come you are defending him? Is it because you are his loyal reader." Lin Qiupu sneered.
While thinking about how to answer, Chen Shi's gaze inadvertently noticed a line of words on the paper, which was Lan Xiao’s testimony—
Answer: I heard Xiao Da Mao and that pervert say that this is not the same as planned!
Q: Are you sure you heard
Answer: (Talking while shaking his legs) Very sure.
Chen Shi picked up this testimony and looked at it carefully, and said: "What is going on in this passage? You did the interrogation at that time. I was listening outside for the whole process. I don't remember this passage!"
"Oh, that, it was Lan Xiao who came to supplement afterwards."
"When?"
"Maybe last Monday!"
The date of the transcript was indeed at that time, which happened to be after Lan Xiao came to harass Xin Bai. He said: "One possibility is that Lan Xiao deliberately splashed dirty water and wanted to avenge Xin Bai. He felt that he had to be guilty. Back the pot."
"Then Lan Xiao's thoughts are meticulous enough. If Xin Bai really said this at the time,'This is different from the plan', I'm afraid the whole case will have to be overturned and restarted."
"Have you checked Lan Xiao's company?"
"The three teams are involved in the investigation. Their company is a bit suspicious, unlike a serious logistics company, but they haven't been able to find any evidence."
"It's really hard for people like Lan Xiao to believe that this sentence is probably fabricated, but..." Chen Shi paused, "If it is true, I am afraid that another possibility will appear in this case. Sex, Xin Bai tricked all of us!"
"Think about it carefully. At that time, Lan Xiao was on the scene, both as an eyewitness and as a justification for Xin Bai to stabbing Xu Guolong with a knife. Everything is so perfect." Lin Qiupu frowned.
Before Lin Qiupu finished speaking, Chen Shi left without saying a word. The next day he was immersed in this "other possibility".
Regardless of whether there is "another possibility", one thing is certain. When a person speaks, he will inadvertently defend himself. When a group of people describe the same thing, they will become a Rashomon. The truth can never be restored 100%, there must be some secret hidden in the dark.
