The office door was ajar.
Xiang Wan hesitated, lowered his head, approached, and tapped lightly.
There was no movement inside.
Startled, Xiang Wan pushed the door open a little.
It was empty.
Fortunately, she spent half a day doing ideological construction outside the door, so it turned out that her expression was wasted.
Bai Muchuan was not in the office.
Holding the resignation letter, she hesitated, looking down at her phone.
"Mr. Xiang..."
Tang Yuanchu came from behind and looked at her in surprise, "Are you looking for Team Bai?"
"Yeah." Xiang Wan pointed to the door and looked at him with a smile, "White Team isn't here?"
Uh! Tang Yuanchu looked at her for a few seconds, hesitant to speak, and then laughed again.
"Don't you know? Team Bai left in the afternoon? He and Xie Hui went to Xie Wanwan's place to find out the situation."
"Oh. I don't know." Xiang Wan smiled a little awkwardly, "Then I'll go back first..."
Tang Yuanchu pointed to her hand, and asked enthusiastically, "Do you have anything for the white team? I'll rush over later, and I can transfer it..."
On behalf of...
After thinking about it for a while, Xiang Wan felt that it would be better to submit this kind of matter in person.
She smiled and shook her head, thanked Tang Yuanchu, returned to her seat, picked up her computer bag, and left silently.
After exiting the gate, Cheng Zheng's car drove over.
"Going home? Get in the car. I'll give you a ride along the way."
Xiang Wan frowned slightly. Seeing Tang Yuanchu and several other colleagues coming out one after another, he shook his head and said, "I made an appointment with Yuanyuan to go shopping, but it's not going my way. You go first, Captain Cheng! Goodbye..."
She waved her hand in the middle of her stroke, turned her head, and disappeared in front of everyone with a small bag on her back.
Sitting in the car, Cheng Zheng looked at her thin back in a daze for a moment, started the car to catch up, and when passing by her, he honked the horn and walked away.
…
Jincheng in mid-September is the season when summer and autumn alternate.
At noon the sun was still shining brightly, scorching the earth for a while and it was sultry. In the evening, the sky calmed down and it started to rain gradually.
Xiang Wan raised her head and felt the sporadic raindrops in the sky, vaguely remembering that she had seen the weather forecast today.
next week. In Jincheng, there is moderate to heavy rain.
Xiang Wan was not a person who lived a particularly delicate life. These things were forgotten after seeing them, and they were not taken to heart.
But today is different.
Because of the rain, and rushing to get off work, it is not easy to take a taxi.
But she is still wearing a skirt, and she can't even ride a shared bicycle...
After waiting for ten minutes, she canceled the order.
When Cheng Zheng was choosing a house, he must have considered the issue of going to work. The place where he lives is not too far from Xingda... Let’s just walk back, it’s only two subway stops away.
When Xiang Wan thought about it, he stopped hesitating.
After leaving school, she has rarely pressed the road aimlessly like this. Unexpectedly, she had such an opportunity to walk alone on the bustling street with a bag on her back, pass by the crowds, quietly thinking about life and the future, and her impetuous mood gradually calmed down.
Is it the best choice for her to resign at this time
Being a deserter is a pleasure for a while, but when you recall this episode in the future, isn’t there nothing left but embarrassment? If she did nothing and left like a clown, she would look down on herself.
Moreover, she didn't come to work in the criminal investigation team for Bai Muchuan, but for the opportunity to study.
Don't forget your original intention.
Even if Bai Muchuan doesn't let her directly participate in the investigation of the case, she can still understand the case in a second. Compared with her writing at home behind closed doors, wouldn't it be much better
You can also learn things, just in a different way.
He didn't want her to get in touch with the case directly, but instead let her free up more time to write, wouldn't it be better? Why is she depressed by this
Thinking of this, the haze in her heart suddenly dissipated.
Looking up again, the light rain in the sky gradually became gentle, falling on the body, comfortable and at ease.
Sure enough, when encountering things, as long as you think about it from a different angle, you will suddenly see the light.
Xiang Wan pursed her lips and smiled, humming a song slowly.
Once the mood changes, everything looks good, and even the scent from the roadside food stalls is more attractive than usual.
She is a little hungry.
After thinking about it, she stopped, turned around and walked towards a Teppanyaki restaurant, ready to buy something to eat.
But at this moment, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that a car slowed down as she turned around, but when Xiang Wan looked back, it suddenly accelerated and disappeared into the boundless traffic...
No one will follow her, right
Xiang Wan squinted his eyes for a while, but couldn't see clearly, and was a little confused.
However, the surroundings were as usual, full of strange people and strange faces.
Ah!
She laughed again.
Been nervous lately!
She is not an important person, who would bother to follow her
"Boss, some potatoes. And this, stinky tofu..."
Smelling the aroma, Xiang Wan was so hungry that he ate whatever he got.
The food enters the stomach, and the whole person is warm.
Walking back alone, the sky has gradually darkened.
The drizzle didn't stop, and it gradually became heavier.
At the gate of the community, Fang Yuanyuan stood alone on the side of the road, holding an umbrella, and tiptoed to watch the passing vehicles.
Xiang Wan paused strangely, and walked over, "Yuanyuan, what are you doing here?"
Fang Yuanyuan turned her head when she heard the sound, she didn't seem to think that she came back on foot, she froze for a moment, and quickly rushed over with an umbrella, covering her head.
"What are you doing? You didn't answer the phone, but it scared me to death. I thought something happened to you..."
Forehead? Xiang Wan quickly took out the phone from his bag.
Sure enough, there were many missed calls.
In addition to Fang Yuanyuan, there are two missed numbers.
One mother, one Cheng Zheng.
"..."
Xiang Wan pressed the phone, "Sorry, I don't know when it became silent."
Having said that, she looked up, "Why do they call me so many times?"
Fang Yuanyuan glared at her angrily, "Isn't that you? You don't even give me a confession first if you lie. I just ran into Cheng Zheng when I came back from get off work, and he asked me why I didn't go shopping with you. I didn't react at all... just Dressed up."
"..."
"As a result, I called you, but you didn't answer anyway. I got a little nervous, so I called my second aunt again, and took a little breath to see if you were with her."
"..."
So many things happened while she was walking
Xiang Wan rolled his eyes, and Fang Yuanyuan continued, "Then I was alone at home, so I called Cheng Zheng and asked Cheng Zheng. He suggested that I find Bai Muchuan. He also gave me Bai Muchuan's phone number..."
Hearing that name, Xiang Wan's heart skipped a beat and his face changed slightly.
"You hit?"
"Ah! Hit."
"..." Xiang Wan gasped, "What did he say?"
Fang Yuanyuan just said without paying attention to her expression, "What else can I say? He said he never saw you."
"Is it over?"
"It's over." Fang Yuanyuan glanced at her, pursed her mouth, "What else? What else?"
Xiang Wan: ...
Not really.
It's just that he never answered the caller ID, and he didn't care about the safety of her subordinate.
Xiang Wan hesitated, lowered his head and hid under Fang Yuanyuan's umbrella, and called his mother first.
"Hey, Wanwan!" Tan Yunchun's tense emotions melted away when he heard her voice, "What's the matter with you girl? Where did you go? It made Yuanyuan and I worry for a while..."
Xiang Wan gave Fang Yuanyuan a sideways look, and said with a smile, "I didn't go anywhere, but the phone was muted for some reason, so I didn't hear...Mom, don't worry, I'll be fine."
"How can you keep your boss from worrying about that job? You don't know that you deal with criminals every day. Mom can't sleep thinking about it these days..."
"Pfft!" Xiang Wan laughed and said, "I'll write books full-time. You say that writing books is not good, your income is not stable, and you can't get in touch with the society. Sooner or later, you'll be crazy. I'll find a job, and you're still not satisfied." …”
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied. Sigh! Girl, Mom is just worried about you. Isn't there another case in Jincheng recently? Mom is just nervous!"
Xiang Wan was silent for a while, then smiled again, "Don't worry, Mom, I don't have direct contact with criminals in my job, I just sit in the office, look at cases, write analysis materials and so on. Well, it's like an office clerk, got it?"
"Really?" Tan Yunchun didn't quite believe it.
"Really. I promise!"
Hearing her relaxed tone and her heartless smile, Tan Yunchun also laughed.
"Okay, then you should work hard. Get along well with your colleagues in the unit, talk less and do more, don't be afraid of disadvantages, young people don't suffer disadvantages, and bosses are sad!"
The word "..." was originally created by my mother
Xiang Wan listened dripping with sweat, and exchanged glances with Fang Yuanyuan, both of them couldn't help laughing.
"Okay. Mom, I just came back and got caught in the rain, and my clothes were all wet. I have to take a shower quickly, so I won't talk to you anymore."
"Why don't you bring an umbrella when you go out? You just don't know how to take care of yourself. Go..."
When Tan Yunchun said this, he suddenly let out another "ah" and called Xiang Wan to stop, "By the way, when will you bring Xiao Cheng back for dinner? Your aunt asked me again yesterday, how are you and Xiao Cheng doing?" I don't even know how to say it, you are so tepid, when will you stop us from worrying..."
"Mom!" Xiang Wan felt a headache when he heard this.
"I have already agreed with Cheng Zheng. We are just friends, and there is no other development..."
"Huh? What did you say?"
"It's what you heard, you don't listen to it."
"..." Tan Yunchun paused for a moment, "What did Xiao Cheng say?"
"He proposed it? He said we should be friends, and I agreed. Isn't that great?"
This is really not Xiang Wan throwing the blame on Cheng Zheng.
After she refused that time, it was indeed Cheng Zheng who proposed it on his own initiative.
And this was also the most harmonious relationship Xiang Wan could get along with him, and they were both at ease.
"Ugh!"
Tan Yunchun sighed heavily over there.
"Sin! Such a good man, where will you find him in the future..."
Seeing that his mother's long speech was about to start again, Xiang Wan shivered on purpose, "I can't do it, Mom, I'm getting cold, I have to take a shower and change clothes, that's all, goodbye!"
After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone quickly and let out a long breath.
Seeing her like this, Fang Yuanyuan also felt relieved, "Seeing you like this makes me think about my future, it's too scary..."
Xiang Wan glanced at her sideways, "What is your future? It's basically your present, okay?"
Fangyuanyuan: ...
Recently she dated Huang He, but her family didn't know about it.
If this matter is not exposed, the sneaky ones can be quiet for a long time.
But once her family found out, she didn't dare to imagine what would happen.
Maybe it was the rain soaking the mood, Fang Yuanyuan looked at the thin layer of rain and mist outside the umbrella, and sighed quietly.
"I don't like autumn, and I don't like rain. You look at the beautiful leaves, and they fall. The beautiful weather suddenly becomes depressed, which makes people feel very uncomfortable..."
Xiang Wan walked side by side with her in silence, and after a while, reached out to wrap her arms around her shoulders.
"It will get better. Think about it from another angle, this is just God wanting to test your relationship with Huang He?"
Fang Yuanyuan is a positive and optimistic person. After being comforted by her, she immediately laughed.
"Well. That's all I can think of. But, what's going on with you and Officer Bai?"
"It's okay..."
"When I called him today, I was in a hurry, but he didn't even look for you?"
Xiang Wan glanced at the phone in his palm and smiled.
"It doesn't matter if you say it, why do people look for me!?"
"I'm looking at you... weird."
"Which person do you look at who is not weird?"
"That's right, don't we often say that there are three monsters in the world, one is the editor of romance novels, the second is the author of romance novels, and the third is the reader of romance novels..."
"Pfft! Fuck you!"
…
The rain of this day lasted all night.
When it was dawn, it was still raining and foggy outside the window.
In the morning, Xiang Wan opened the window and saw that the tree nurseries in the community were all wet, and the whole space seemed to have been washed by clear water, making it look clean and clear.
Call! Fresh air enters the lungs, and Xiang Wan is much more energetic.
Coming out of the bedroom, Fang Yuanyuan was already eating breakfast.
Xiang Wan was slightly taken aback.
She thought that after yesterday's lying incident and it was raining again, Cheng Zheng probably wouldn't come.
"Morning!" Cheng Zheng sat on the sofa as usual, in the same position, with the same expression, as if nothing had changed, as calm and breezy as ever.
Xiang Wan was silent for a while, and smiled: "Morning. It's raining or not for Team Cheng. Why don't you run in this weather?"
Cheng Zheng: "I'm used to it! I have persisted for more than ten years."
Xiang Wan nodded in astonishment, went back to the room and took some money, put it on the coffee table in front of him, and said with a smile: "These days, you have been making Captain Cheng spend money, Yuanyuan and I are really embarrassed. You take the money , even if I share the breakfast money with Yuanyuan."
Cheng Zheng didn't move, he raised his head and looked at her indifferently.
"We are all friends, neighbors, why are you so fussy?"
"Because we are friends, we can't always take advantage of you? Otherwise, how can this friend last long?"
She had a calm smile on her face, but her eyes were persistent and stubborn.
Cheng Zheng nodded and said no more, "Then I'll accept it."
Xiang Wan's heart relaxed, "Thank you! Also, I have an appointment with Yuanyuan. In order to practice my cooking skills, starting tomorrow, we will take turns making breakfast, so..."
With a big question mark on Fang Yuanyuan's face, she looked at her with a steamed bun in her mouth, "Hello..."
Xiang Wan turned her head and glared at her, then said to Cheng Zheng with a smile, "There's no need to bother Captain Cheng all the time."
Cheng Zheng looked at her, then at Fang Yuanyuan, and nodded indifferently.
"Okay, it's better to make your own breakfast. It's healthy and nutritious. If this is the case, then I won't buy it..."
Xiang Wan's heart slowly sank, and then he heard Cheng Zheng say, "Then I'll come to your house for breakfast tomorrow. Sometimes you can't get up, and I can help you."
"Team Cheng..."
"We are neighbors and friends, we should." Cheng Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Or do you want me to have breakfast?"
"..."
What does it mean to lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot
Xiang Wan found that her rank was still too low.
In other words, she simply underestimated Cheng Zheng's dedication to this matter.
But also, a person who insists on running every day can insist on doing anything.
Fortunately, Cheng Zheng didn't make it too difficult for them. He never showed too close to her from the beginning to the end, no different from normal friends and colleagues.
When the car arrived at the brigade, Cheng Zheng went to park the car, and Xiang Wan stepped into the office through the stagnant water under the doorstep, and found that the atmosphere in the team today was more dignified than usual.
In the past, during breakfast, everyone would joke and liven up the atmosphere. Today, everyone is quiet with zero communication with each other.
Xiang Wan was a little surprised. He walked to the desk, packed up the things on the desk, set up the computer, and turned to ask the colleague next door in a low voice.
"What's the matter? Everyone is dumb today?"
Next door to her was an internal assistant policeman, everyone called him Xiao Liu, who had just been demobilized from the army and returned to Jincheng. He applied for the criminal university later than Xiang Wan, and he was not very familiar with the personnel in the brigade.
Hearing this, he shook his head, "I don't know."
Xiang Wan: "Then why are you silent?"
Xiao Liu: "I see that everyone is silent, so I dare not say anything."
After thinking about it, he glanced at Bai Muchuan's office again, and squeezed his eyes, "Boss came here today, and the whole person is very windy, who dares to talk too much?"
Xiang Wan made an oh expression, looked away, turned on the computer, and checked his mailbox.
No new mail.
Bai Muchuan didn't comment on the profile report she sent in the past.
Xiang Wan looked up, looked in the direction of his office, and closed the mailbox.
She hadn't even seen Bai Muchuan that day.
People deliberately avoided her, and she was also sensible, so she stopped pestering her, let alone asked why. She just wrote all her thoughts and inferences into the chapter of "Murdering the Goddess". This book, this three-acre land, became a battlefield for her to display her reasoning ability.
Writing cases with cases feels more real.
Concentrate on writing, this part of the situation is getting smoother, and subscriptions are also growing steadily with the increase in the number of words...
Xiang Wan was very satisfied.
Xiang Wan was eager for the success of the novel.
She knows very well that for a woman, having a good career, a skill enough to support herself is more important than having a good boyfriend.
She did what Bai Muchuan said, without him, she could live as she should.
At least, on the surface.
Subconsciously, she actually agrees with Bai Muchuan's point of view. Regardless of love or marriage, it is an exchange of equivalent value in the final analysis. Only when you stand firmly on your feet can you have the strength to pursue what you want. Otherwise, even if you are lucky enough to hold it in your hand, you will not dare to hold it steadily...
What a man gives, how can I earn it back
It's not that she doesn't know what's wrong with her.
Will be hypocritical, full of brains, strong personal consciousness.
So, rather than saying that it was Bai Muchuan that she rejected that day, it is better to say that she rejected a self who was not good enough.
Young feelings, two people who can't find a sense of security, and can't bend their knees, even if they are together today, they can't go to the future.
Relieved, she threw herself into work.
Thus, Bai Muchuan became a silhouette stuck in her heart, always existing, but no longer thinking about it all the time.
Every day, she went to work energetically, asked Tang Yuanchu to learn about the case, came back to do her own business, and sent a profiling report to his personal mailbox before leaving get off work.
Bai Muchuan never gave her any feedback.
Not once.
Those emails are like stones thrown into a lake, never returned.
She didn't even know if he saw it or not.
However, Xiang Wan no longer minded.
After receiving the progress of the case from Tang Yuanchu, she sank into the case.
Currently, according to Xie Wanwan, the person contacting her is Cao Mengjia.
Cao Mengjia mixed into her support club, followed the members of the support club to Jincheng, when they clashed with Yelun fans, they suddenly stabbed Xie Wanwan with a knife, and killed Yu Hui who was blocking the knife for Xie Wanwan . Then, she threatened Xie Wanwan with the content of the recording in the doll, and asked Xie Wanwan to do a live broadcast of her death, or she would expose her scandal. As for why she insisted on Xie Wanwan doing that, Cao Mengjia didn't say, Xie Wanwan didn't know.
Xiang Wan personally had doubts about this.
If there is only the "ugliness" in the recording, is it worth Xie Wanwan's life to pay for it
She once assumed the role of Xie Wanwan, and thought that if she encountered such a thing, would she commit suicide because of the unbearable past
the answer is negative. She will not kill herself.
Not only will he not commit suicide, but he will also cooperate with the police to find that person out...
However, she is not Xie Wanwan, without personal experience and painful experience, she cannot empathize with her.
So, at this point, she marked it red. Doubtful, but worth looking into.
Another doubtful point is that Lan Guixiangfang's surveillance did not find Cao Mengjia leaving, so how did she leave the scene after the murder and get the doll to threaten Xie Wanwan
According to the survey, although Cao Mengjia was not outstanding since he was a child, he was also a well-behaved child. He was not a radical student in school, and his behavior was very correct, with good academic performance. The kind of person who came to kill.
What's more, according to the investigation, she and Xie Wanwan have no social relationship.
Cao Mengjia's only outlier is probably star chasing.
Her roommate said that she hadn't heard that she liked Xie Wanwan, but only knew that she was a fan of Ye Lun.
How stupid is it? She couldn't hear anyone saying that the impeller was bad.
However, this behavior changed after she fell in love. For a while, the roommate didn't hear her mention the impeller, but she said she didn't know about her boyfriend's situation. She hid it very deeply, none of them had seen that man...
However, according to Ye Lun's interrogation transcript, he said that he did not know Cao Mengjia, and he had never been in contact with the fan group that made trouble that night.
For this reason, he also specifically stated that he actually has no personal enmity with Xie Wanwan.
That night at Lan Kwai Xiang Fong, Xie Wanwan apologized to him, saying that he lost his composure that day because he was not feeling well, and he immediately expressed his attitude—it doesn’t matter.
He didn't care about the comments on the Internet, and immediately posted a Weibo, expressing to Xie Wanwan that he was willing to restrain the behavior of fans.
That night, the two shook hands and talked happily, and discussed the filming of "Grey List" for a while.
This point was confirmed by Xie Wanwan.
The police did not have any evidence to prove that the impeller was related to the case.
So, after the interrogation that day, Ye Lun continued to return to the crew to film his own scenes.
In this way, the case seemed to end with Cao Mengjia.
— Dead without evidence
That afternoon, Xiang Wan wrote a chapter in his office.
"The female college student who died in a bar once aspired to be the supporting actress in "Grey List" who was willing to go through fire and water for her boyfriend. She traveled thousands of miles from Kyoto to Jincheng, and what came was a person, and what was left was a body Corpse... And her boyfriend didn't feel any pity because of her death. He used her, and then continued to live a glamorous life after her death... "
After sending the chapters, she sent the profile analysis written today to Bai Muchuan's mailbox, packed her things and prepared to leave.
Tang Yuanchu just came over from Bai Muchuan's office, and asked with a smile, "Teacher Xiang is off work?"
Xiang Wan looked up and smiled, "Yes, is there anything I can do?"
"No. We're going to eat too..."
Tang Yuanchu said "we", Xiang Wan frowned slightly, didn't ask anyone, just smiled and prepared to leave. However, Tang Yuanchu invited with some embarrassment, "Teacher Xiang, do you want to come together?"
"Are you treating me?" Xiang Wan smiled and teased casually.
"Hey, the white team treats guests. Xie Wanwan was discharged from the hospital today..." Tang Yuanchu said here casually, as if he realized that he had a big mouth, and smiled awkwardly, "Anyway, there are only a few brothers on the team, none of whom are outsiders, let's go together? "
"Thank you." Xiang Wan smiled faintly at him, "I have an appointment today. Next time I wait for your treat, I will definitely go."
"Hey, sure, sure."
"goodbye!"
Xiang Wan hurriedly carried her computer bag and walked faster than a rabbit.
Tang Yuanchu was stunned for a while, shook his head, and suddenly saw Bai Muchuan standing not far away.
"White team, let's go too..."
With cold eyes, Bai Muchuan turned around and left, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Uh… "
