Standing by the side, Xiang Wan could hear their conversation clearly.
However, when it comes to Xie Wanwan, she warns herself not to appear so gossip...
So, she didn't ask, and when she left the hotel and returned to the team, she was calm and calm, not saying a word.
Throughout the morning, Bai Muchuan was very busy.
The trivial and complicated criminal investigation work is beyond the imagination of those who have not experienced it.
The case was serious and there were many people involved. The Hongjiang District Criminal Investigation Brigade was simply not manned enough. In this way, he was finally able to free up his hands. Bai Muchuan forced several policemen who hadn't closed their eyes all night to go home and rest.
But he didn't.
At work, he is like an iron man, always standing on the front line and becoming the central hub for handling this intricate case.
Xiang Wan watched all these things.
Men who work hard are the most attractive.
A handsome and hardworking man is a moving luminous body, a walking hormone.
Even though he was so haggard and his eyes were bloodshot, in Xiang Wan's eyes today, Bai Muchuan was different from usual. The relationship and perception between people will slowly change with the time of contact. No matter how he treated his feelings, Xiang Wan had to admit that he was a good policeman.
Because of this, the episode in which he took time to go home and change his clothes to confess his love to her during work breaks became much more important...
Xiang Wan was not a policeman, so she couldn't help the team with many tasks. All she could do was beat up the underdogs, run errands, and do what she could.
Even so, at noon, her legs were so sore that she could hardly lift them up.
When she was having lunch in the cafeteria, she ran into Mei Xin.
The two sat at the same table as usual, but there was no communication. Mei Xin ate silently with her head down, while Xiang Wan didn't have a good eating habit. While eating, she was watching the case of "Grey List" on her mobile phone... it was the case Cao Mengjia was watching before she disappeared.
Back at the office after dinner, she started writing her own update—
She listened to Bai Muchuan's opinion and linked the two cases of Xie Wanwan together. In her book, the missing girl fell in love with the novel "Grey List". But the character she likes is not the female number one, but the villain number three, and she also fell in love with the star who played the male number three in this TV series.
In the event of star fans tearing each other up, she was instigated and flew from Kyoto to Jincheng, specially infiltrated the No. 1 female fan as a "spy", trying to attack the female star in a bar. As a result, the bizarre disappeared in the bar...
With the artistic processing of real stories, the case becomes more complicated and confusing.
But even though the names of people and places are different, it can still be seen that it is the case of Lan Kwai Xiang Fong.
Therefore, just after it was released, it attracted some readers who understand the incident, but most of them have different opinions. Some people think that the adaptation is more story-telling and interesting, and some people say that the author deliberately made it up for the sake of click-through rate. Pretending to be bizarre, pretentious...
Xiang Wan flipped through the book reviews.
Subconsciously, she wanted to find that ID.
But she was disappointed that the person did not comment.
Not long after her chapter was published, though, social media exploded again.
"The most bizarre disappearance case of the year!"
Cao Mengjia, a female college student, came out of the hotel and entered Languixiangfang, which is supported by surveillance evidence.
However, the surveillance cameras at the front and rear gates of Lan Guixiangfang did not capture her going out.
In other words, a living female college student disappeared out of thin air in Lan Kwai Xiang Fong.
"Cousin, is this true?" Fang Yuanyuan's burning gossip heart made her unable to restrain herself from sending Xiang Wan a message.
"What's real or not?" Xiang Wan lazily replied to her.
"About Cao Mengjia's bizarre disappearance in Lan Kwai Xiang Fong? Our editorial department is discussing it? Is it true?"
it is true.
In the morning, the team has repeatedly studied the monitoring.
Cao Mengjia entered the bar, but she was not photographed leaving.
The investigation found that it was Cao Mengjia who stabbed Xie Wanwan and her assistant with a knife. Huang He witnessed the scene of her murder, but when he rushed to stop him, he was stopped by a group of guys who were drinking and fighting. He could only watch her disappear into the crowd after the murder.
In the surveillance, there was no trace of her leaving.
It disappeared inexplicably, how could it not be weird
But Xiang Wan couldn't tell Fang Yuanyuan about these things.
She thought for a while and said, "I don't know too well, anyway, can you just be a gossip?"
Fang Yuanyuan: "I want to know the truth."
Xiang Wan: "Come on, go find your Huang Huang to find out the truth about the origin of human beings."
"You've learned badly!" Fang Yuanyuan scoffed at her, and suddenly felt a little frustrated, "Oh, I really don't want my Huang Huang to be a security guard anymore, especially in places like bars, where he would fight if he disagreed, and he wouldn't be happy doing it... Cousin, please help me ask Police Officer Bai, can't he be restored to his original post?"
"Okay, I'll ask if I have a chance. But it might not work these two days, he's too busy..."
"Okay, okay, you are all busy. Cousin, I think you have changed when you went to the criminal investigation team. You are mysterious all day long, and you don't know what to ask. Don't tell me you have a secret in your heart, don't you feel panicked?"
Secret... what secret does she have
Xiang Wan smiled, and a sentence suddenly popped into his mind.
"They all had secrets, and they all died of secrets."
This is what Bai Muchuan said that day.
In the past, Zhao Jiahang and Tian Xiaoya had secrets...
The current Xie Wanwan and even Bai Muchuan seem to have secrets...
The suspected black hand of Empress Mu didn't dirty his own hands every time he killed, he always used other people's hands to kill, and what did he rely on to manipulate others
… secret.
As Xiang Wan thought about it, her nerves jumped. An ominous premonition made her get up and run to Bai Muchuan's office.
"White team..."
At the door, two people collided.
Bai Muchuan was about to go out, followed by Tang Yuanchu.
After continuous fighting, he looked even more tired than in the morning, but his eyes were still alive.
"What's the matter? Surprised?"
Xiang Wan looked at him, "Where are you going?"
Bai Muchuan frowned, "Go to the hospital. Are you going?"
Xiang Wan remembered that he had said at the hotel before that he would go to Xie Wanwan to find out about the situation in the afternoon.
"Is it convenient?" Xiang Wan wanted to go, but she was afraid that Bai Muchuan might misunderstand her intentions.
After thinking about it, she said: "Well... I suddenly had an idea just now. From the theft of Xie Wanwan's personal belongings to the fight and murder in Languixiangfang, including the disappearance of female college students, could it be just a conspiracy? The people they want to deal with , maybe it's Xie Wanwan, or... to deal with you behind Xie Wanwan?"
"Huh?" Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows, "Why do you have such an idea?"
Looking into his eyes, Xiang Wan paused and spoke slowly.
"They all had secrets, and they all died of secrets."
Bai Muchuan's complexion changed, "Come with me!"
A group of people left the criminal investigation team, got in the car and went straight to the hospital.
But before Ren arrived, Bai Muchuan received a call from Assistant Xie Wanwan.
"White team, Wanwan is gone."
gone? Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan looked at each other, and ordered Tang Yuanchu.
"Hurry up!"
The police car galloped through the downtown area and arrived at the hospital.
The female assistant was waiting at the entrance of the hospital, and she was obviously relieved when she saw Bai Muchuan.
"White team, you're here. What should we do? We can't find Wanwan..."
Bai Muchuan asked as he walked, "Tell me about the situation carefully."
"Didn't I go back this morning to help her get her clothes? When I came back, I told her that you would come over in the afternoon. Then she insisted on getting up and going to take a shower..."
Hearing this, Xiang Wan glanced at Bai Muchuan.
He was expressionless, "Then?"
The female assistant said: "She still has injuries on her body. I definitely don't agree... But you know her temper, and no one can do anything when she gets angry. Later, I wanted to make a compromise and fetch water to scrub her. She agreed. Yes. But when I brought the prepared water, she was not on the hospital bed... "
When this happened, the female assistant was terrified.
Together with two other crew members and her agent, she turned the hospital up and down, but there was no one there.
The hospital did not show the monitoring, and the police needed to come to confirm.
Bai Muchuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
The group was about to go to the hospital for surveillance when Bai Muchuan's cell phone rang.
The caller was the missing Xie Wanwan.
Bai Muchuan picked it up and asked solemnly, "Where are you?"
"I'm fine, I'm just calling to tell you, I'm fine...Xiaobai, don't look for me." Xie Wanwan said in an urgent and anxious tone, "Don't come to me, don't make things big, okay ?"
Bai Muchuan pondered.
Glancing at Xiang Wan and Tang Yuanchu beside him, he winked at Tang Yuanchu.
Tang Yuanchu nodded and went to the side to make a phone call.
Bai Muchuan continued: "This matter has become a big deal. I have no choice!"
"Please Xiaobai. Please... at least for now... I don't want people to know..."
"I asked where are you?" Bai Muchuan emphasized.
"I'm going to get my doll back... I don't need your help... Please, don't help me, don't look for me... If I have to choose, I'd rather die, I'd rather die..."
Her words were somewhat incoherent.
Excited, nervous, broken and desperate.
Bai Muchuan listened, "Tell me your location."
"No. Xiaobai, don't come looking for me, please, don't come looking for me... I'd rather die, really, I'd rather die..."
beep beep...
Having said that, the phone was hung up.
Bai Muchuan turned his head quickly and asked Tang Yuanchu, "Have you located the target?"
Tang Yuanchu immediately confirmed the situation with his colleagues in the intelligence department of the team, and shook his head with a bitter face, "The time is too short, and it will be broken before it has time."
"Damn it!" Bai Muchuan clenched his fists and rushed into the hospital.
Startled, Xiang Wan followed closely, "What happened?"
Bai Muchuan didn't answer, but went to the dean's office, explained the situation, and then went to the monitoring room under the leadership of the dean.
Xiang Wan followed him all the time, seeing his ugly face, said in a low voice, "Bai Muchuan, I'm the consultant you paid to hire back, you tell me the matter, I can give you advice..."
Bai Muchuan glanced at her and shook his head.
"..."
Refuse to say, or is it inconvenient to say
In fact, Xiang Wan was very close to Bai Muchuan just now, and she heard Xie Wanwan's heartbreaking "I would rather die" several times on the phone.
Infected by Xie Wanwan's despair, she inexplicably thought of Sun Shangli, the woman who committed suicide by jumping off the building in the imperial palace...
No one knew why Sun Shangli committed suicide, but Xie Wanwan's "I would rather die" shocked her.
If someone is forcing her to die, if that person is the mysterious Queen Mu, then Xie Wanwan is in danger.
What is especially frightening is, if Xie Wanwan dies now, will she become the next Sun Shangli? Even if the police have doubts about the case, it is difficult to find him from a nearly perfect crime—a suspected murderer
"Did she have any abnormal reaction before you went to fetch water?"
On the way to the monitoring room, Bai Muchuan asked the battered female assistant as he walked.
"No." The female assistant shook her head. "She was very calm. She only said that she wanted to take a bath. In addition, she was a little disgusted with herself. She hadn't washed all night, so she had to wash..."
A person who cares about appearance like this will never take the initiative to seek death.
Xiang Wan thought solemnly, her heartstrings became tighter and tighter...
From the monitoring, they quickly found Xie Wanwan.
She stood at the gate of the hospital where she was coming and going, wearing a mask, her long hair was hanging loose, covering most of her face, she was covering her waist and looking around, then walked straight out of the hospital, out of the surveillance range...
"White team, look, the man left the hospital! He didn't come back..."
When he said this, the dean's voice was obviously relaxed.
No one wants to get involved, especially with things like this.
As long as Xie Wanwan left the hospital on her own initiative, it has nothing to do with them...
Bai Muchuan glanced at him, nodded his thanks, asked Tang Yuanchu to copy the surveillance video, and went back to the brigade.
Next, he began a search like a cast net.
However, they investigated the Skynet around the hospital and the monitoring of various stores, but they couldn't find Xie Wanwan's whereabouts.
This city is too big.
People come every day and people leave every day.
Finding someone who is sincerely hiding in the city is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
…
The sun is setting.
This day will pass again.
In the office, Bai Muchuan sat down wearily, with a gloomy expression on his face.
"Bai Muchuan, she will be fine."
Xiang Wan looked at him, and his chest was inexplicably filled with sadness.
"We still have time," she said.
She added: "You should tell her about it. Then maybe I can help you think of a way."
Bai Muchuan shook his head silently, lit a cigarette, and inhaled deeply into his lungs.
Xiang Wan looked at the cigarette flickering on his fingertips, "You haven't rested for a day and a night. You need to rest so that you can keep your mind clear..."
Bai Muchuan took a deep puff of his cigarette, "I should have thought of it earlier, it's my fault."
"Don't blame yourself!" Xiang Wan felt sorry for him like this, "You are just a policeman, and you are not a god. How can you know what others will do?"
"Xiang Wan, am I useless?" Bai Muchuan suddenly raised his head and asked her with red eyes.
Xiang Wan froze there.
He looked at her, his heavy breathing seemed to be suppressing some emotions, the cigarette walking in his lungs did not relieve his depression, but instead filled his deep eye sockets with deep pain, as if looking at her, It was as if he was looking at others through her.
"I'm sitting here, helpless...what kind of cop?"
Xiang Wan's heart twitched.
Inexplicable, a little pity.
She looked at him, "That's not what I said. The existence of the police can never prevent crimes from happening. What you have to do now is to take a rest and recharge your spirits..."
"I can't sleep." Bai Muchuan rubbed his hair, "I'm afraid that if I close my eyes, I'll hear some bad news when I wake up again."
"I understand." Xiang Wan suddenly felt a little emotional, "You have tried your best, she refused your help, she gave up on herself... So, the crux of the problem is, why did she choose to give up on herself? Is it more precious than life?"
"some."
Bai Muchuan looked at her with red eye circles.
"Dignity, shame."
Dignity, shame? Is it heavier than life
Having known each other for so long, Xiang Wan had never seen Bai Muchuan like this.
He has always been sunny, tough, and full of masculinity. Like a sunflower growing wildly, it is full of vitality.
At this moment, he was melancholy and painful, his eyes seemed to be soaked with deep sorrow, he had nowhere to pour out, he was so handsome, but he lost his spirit, like a beautiful sculpture, just sat on the sofa like that...
"Actually, I didn't expect it." She moistened her lips with difficulty, "I didn't expect Xie Wanwan's disappearance to cause such a big blow to you..."
Bai Muchuan was startled.
Immediately, he shook his head, closed his eyes, and leaned on the sofa to smoke deeply.
"It's not the same thing."
After he finished speaking, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled wryly.
"Maybe, I'm just tired and need a hug."
Xiang Wan didn't know how he got there.
She stood in front of him, hugged his head, and let him lean into her arms.
"It'll be fine. She'll be fine... and you'll be fine, too."
Bai Muchuan didn't seem to expect that she would take the initiative to hug him, his body trembled, he looked at her for a while, then suddenly pressed the cigarette in his hand, and tightly circled her.
This was the closest they were, with his head resting on her chest, listening to the same strong heartbeat, without saying a word. There is no ambiguity, no charm, the two are like relatives who encourage each other, and like their irreplaceable other half. Because you understand, you are compassionate. Because of compassion, I understand.
For a long time, Xiang Wan didn't move, neither did Bai Muchuan.
In the wordless silence, he seemed to fall asleep, and his breathing gradually became steady...
Xiang Wan looked down at him, and was about to let him lie down on the sofa for a while, when he suddenly raised his head.
"Thank you, Xiang Wan."
He just raised his head from her chest, like a child, his eyes were full of sunshine, sweeping away the previous haze, and his anxious expression gradually calmed down.
"I was right!" he said.
"Huh?" Xiang Wan didn't know why, "What?"
He didn't answer, a charming smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he stood up suddenly, and hugged her by the way.
"What are you doing?" Xiang Wan was so nervous that his heart was beating wildly.
"Don't do anything now." Bai Muchuan glanced at her, saw her blushing, and put her on the sofa, "You take a rest, I'll make a phone call."
Uh, why are you calling behind her back
Xiang Wan looked at him suspiciously. He suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
"I like you. It's true."
"..."
This guy!
Xiang Wan stared blankly at him striding away.
But when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at her solemnly.
"Wait here for me, don't go anywhere..."
oh god! This is the criminal investigation team!
Can she still disappear in the criminal investigation team
Xiang Wan was a little dumbfounded.
But the heart ironed by his scorching eyes could not calm down for a long time.
Strangely, she didn't feel uncomfortable or jealous because of Bai Muchuan's nervousness towards Xie Wanwan.
On the contrary, because of this incident, I understood him more deeply. This is a man who values love and righteousness...
Time passed very slowly.
Xiang Wan waited until he was about to fall asleep, before Bai Muchuan opened the door and came in.
"found it."
"Found it?" Xiang Wan looked at him with a stiff face, a little confused, "Where is it?"
Bai Muchuan pursed his lips, and pulled her wrist, "I have to hurry there right away, we'll talk on the way."
…
Outside the criminal investigation team, the police car pulled the siren away.
Tang Yuanchu was waiting for Bai Muchuan, when he saw them, he quickly opened the car door.
The police car is speeding through the city.
Sitting next to Xiang Wan, Bai Muchuan turned on his phone and tuned to a live channel.
"look."
"Huh?" Xiang Wan leaned his head strangely.
Taking a look, she was startled.
The person in the video is actually the missing Xie Wanwan.
She seemed to be sitting on a very high roof platform, the wind was very strong, her hair was blown high by the wind, and her beautiful face was so pale that there was no trace of blood in the setting sun.
For a long time, she didn't speak, only the barrage on the video kept swiping.
Together with the melon-eating crowd, the fans reached a climax.
"Goddess, what is this for?"
"What a cool live broadcast! Is Wanwan on the roof?"
"Be careful! This is too dangerous!"
"The celebrity hype has escalated again? Hehehe, if you don't die, you won't die. Hurry up and fall, everything will be fine if you die, stop bitch!"
"Wanwan, Wanwan, I love you, we all love you..."
Xie Wanwan looked at the screen, let the wind mess her long hair, and let out a deep sigh after a long time.
"Hi everyone, I'm Xie Wanwan. Today, I'm here to bid farewell to everyone..."
…
