In the small reception room, Jiang Xing said again:
"I am a very introverted person and I can't talk. Everyone else hates me. Only Yuanyuan is willing to talk to me. She doesn't get angry when she finds out that I'm taking photos of her secretly."
Jiang Xing kept muttering to himself about his teenage thoughts, and the more one listened, the more one felt that he was a pervert.
Officer Lu asked, "Why did you take secret photos?"
Jiang Xing paused, hesitating and refusing to tell the truth.
He is a typical homebody, has no friends and is not good at socializing. He is now working as a photographer for a relative's wedding company. He doesn't earn as much as he spends, and he relies entirely on his mother's pension subsidy.
Except for going out for work, he almost never goes out on weekdays, and spends all his time collecting news about Xiang Xiaoyuan.
Lin Dapeng didn't have to think too much about it. He just lied a few times and he confessed everything:
"I don't have any special talents, except that I'm good at photography. Really, I won an award in high school."
"After I went to college, they always bullied me. I didn't want to talk to them, so I just took the camera and filmed myself for fun."
"Then, someone paid me to secretly take photos of Yuanyuan."
"Yuanyuan took those photos at that time. I didn't know her well at the time and thought she was a cheap and casual girl, so I agreed."
"It was my first time doing this kind of thing. I had no experience and was quickly discovered by Yuanyuan."
"I panicked, thinking she would call the police. But she just asked me to delete the photos, and said if I couldn't report it, I could keep a few photos of my daily life."
"She just likes me and is interested in me!"
"From that day on, I swore that I would make her happy!"
Lin Jiaqiao heard Officer Lu ask, "What kind of photos are those?"
Then Jiang Xing replied: "Yes, it's underwear photos. But I don't care, really."
Lin Jiaqiao wanted to hit someone again.
Officer Lu also had the same idea as her.
He said: "From what we know, every time you confessed your love, you were rejected."
Jiang Xing blushed: "That's, it's Yuanyuan, I'm sorry."
"If she doesn't like me, why is she so nice to me!"
Lin Dapeng interrupted his chatter and asked coldly, "Who paid you to take pictures of Xiang Xiaoyuan?"
Jiang Xing was very afraid of him, so he answered honestly, "Liu Yang."
Xiang Xiaoyuan didn't talk much about her family, and Lin Jiaqiao didn't ask. But from the occasional conversations, she knew that Xiang Xiaoyuan had a bad relationship with her parents and would rather apply for a student loan than ask for money from her family.
How poor was Xiang Xiaoyuan at that time
When they were a freshman in college, smartphones had already become popular, but Xiang Xiaoyuan could only afford phone cards.
She doesn't even have a cell phone.
Later, Lin Jiaqiao couldn't stand it anymore and gave her his Haier smartphone which was as thick as a brick. That was how she got her first phone in her life.
But beautiful girls always have an easier time getting rich.
During the winter break of her freshman year, Xiang Xiaoyuan was discovered by a scout and became a print model.
The underwear photos were also taken at that time.
The brand of underwear is Victoria's Secret.
At that time, the brand had not yet gone bankrupt, nor did it rely on Internet celebrities to earn traffic like it did later. That period was the last glorious moment of the brand. The supermodels under its banner were more famous than the big names. The brand was very arrogant. For a set of promotional photos, more than 200 models were successively passed.
Xiang Xiaoyuan had only been a model for three weeks at that time, and her agent brought her over to make up the numbers. Unexpectedly, she was chosen.
Two groups of photos were taken at that time: the first group was wrapped in a loose velvet robe, revealing two long legs in suspender stockings. The second group was pink sportswear, sports bra with overalls, healthy and hip-hop.
Neither set of pictures is revealing, but the ambiguous and charming atmosphere is very strong.
Just relying on these two sets of pictures, Xiang Xiaoyuan made it into the top three otaku goddesses of that year.
Lin Jiaqiao pulled out this set of photos from his phone:
"Which girl doesn't want to be a Victoria's Secret Angel? They are sour grapes, so it's their turn to make irresponsible remarks."
Qin Guan nodded. "As expected, you used this wallpaper for a whole semester and even replaced my photo."
He emphasized each word: "Give me back the phone I gave you."
By this time the two had left the police station.
Although Jiang Xing was suspicious, he did not have the time to commit the crime.
When Liu Yang disappeared, he was staying at home, and the surveillance footage in the corridor could serve as evidence for him.
Qin Guan asked: "Xiang Xiaoyuan really has no contact with Jiang Xing. She even agreed to Jiang Xing taking pictures of her."
Lin Jiaqiao said: "Xiao Xiangzi is a beautiful and kind person. She has great empathy for the disadvantaged."
Qin Guan stopped dwelling on this question and looked at the time. He asked, "Shall I take you back to the studio?"
It was already afternoon, and Lin Jiaqiao asked tentatively: "Are you busy at work today?"
Qin Guan was a little surprised: "If you want to date me, I also have time."
Lin Jiaqiao is very good at grasping the key points, "It's just that there is time."
Qin Guan knew her workaholic nature and became alert, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to find Ying Zhiwan."
Lin Jiaqiao asked Qin Guan: "Is it possible that Ying Zhiwan's face was injured by Liu Yang's men? He planned this kidnapping for revenge."
Qin Guan thought about it and said, "It's not impossible."
Lin Jiaqiao pressed on, "What about Xu Yalan? Maybe they have some emotional entanglement."
Qin Guan frowned: "Do you suspect Ying Zhiwan and Xu Yalan have an improper relationship?"
Lin Jiaqiao didn't have the confidence that Qin Guan had when he looked at the picture and spoke, so he said guiltily: "I suspect it was Ying Zhiwan and Liu Yang—"
Qin Guan was puzzled: "Do you suspect that they have an emotional entanglement?"
Lin Jiaqiao nodded, "It's possible for brothers of many years to fall in love with the same girl."
Qin Guan breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you suspected that Ying Zhiwan and Liu Yang were a couple."
Lin Jiaqiao applauded her boyfriend, "Do you know what you are saying? The world of straight men is really open and honest."
Qin Guan asked again: "Why didn't you tell Lao Lin?"
Lin Jiaqiao was embarrassed, "Isn't this just my blind guess? I have no evidence."
Qin Guan suddenly had a bad feeling, he asked: "So, you want to-"
Lin Jiaqiao pulled him over to the Bentley and said, "I found out Ying Zhiwan's address. Let's go and test him. It would be even better if we can find evidence."
Qin Guan was dissatisfied: "You don't want to date me at all, you just want me to be your driver. You bad girlfriend!"
"But why are you suddenly interested in this case?"
He looked at her suspiciously, "You don't really want to use this case to trade for clicks, do you?"
"What are you talking about?" Lin Jiaqiao took out the car keys from his pocket. "How dare they slander Xiao Xiangzi? I must find the murderer and slap them in the face."
In fact, she also suspected that Liu Yang was the first victim of the '11.11' disappearance case, but she couldn't say it.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Guan's face was filled with panic:
"What? I think I was hallucinating. In Bird Brother's world, there are things more important than work."
"Is this for her handsome boyfriend? No, she is trying to clear her friend's name."
"Oh my god, Bird Brother, you are so great. You are the best friend in the world."
Lin Jiaqiao: "You should go to the next Tai Chi competition. No one will take notes and understand the yin and yang even more."
Qin Guan was not happy, "You don't want to play with me, but you scold me."
Lin Jiaqiao knew that this person would be no fun if he started to act pretentiously, so he chose the most efficient way to deal with it.
She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
Qin Guan didn't expect that she had also learned how to seduce.
He refused to condone such bad behavior and said sternly, "Just a kiss on the cheek and that's it."
Lin Jiaqiao looked at his thighs and said in horror:
"Guan Guan, you are asking me to do this in broad daylight, right in front of the police station. You are so despicable!"
Qin Guan was speechless: "... I asked you to kiss my mouth!"
Lin Jiaqiao then realized that his thoughts were impure and quickly slapped Qin Guan's lips twice.
At this time her cell phone rang.
Lin Dapeng sent a text message: Don’t do this kind of thing in front of the Municipal Bureau!
Lin Jiaqiao looked towards his office and saw that the window was crowded with people, making a fuss in their direction.
Lin Jiaqiao was not shy at all and waved to them openly, as if she was having a celebrity meet-and-greet.
Qin Guan was a serious man and could not stand the teasing. He covered his face and dragged his girlfriend into the car.
On the way, the two watched Xu Yalan's live broadcast again.
Lin Jiaqiao asked: "Is your life in danger if you bleed so much?"
Qin Guan zoomed in on the video and said, "The total amount of blood in an adult's body is about 4,000 milliliters. When the blood loss reaches about 800 milliliters, it may endanger life safety."
"Looking at the amount of blood, it should be 800 milliliters. But Liu Yang is a young man in his prime, and the kidnappers are after money, so his life is not in danger."
At this point, a trace of confusion appeared on his face, "But I don't understand why he is bleeding so much."
He pointed at the screen and said, "Although the scene was chaotic, it didn't look like a fierce fight. So, can we assume that the kidnappers subdued Liu Yang without much effort?"
"In that case, where did all this blood come from?"
Lin Jiaqiao thought for a while but couldn't come up with an answer.
She smoothed the wrinkles between Qin Guan's brows and said, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it."
"We will find out the truth."
Qin Guan was stunned for a few seconds, held her hand and kissed her fingers lightly.
Lin Jiaqiao immediately pulled his hand back and threatened: "Focus on driving!"
Ying Zhiwan lived alone in a luxurious residential area in the city, with strict security measures. Fortunately, Qin Guan was also an owner here, so the two of them came in easily.
Ying Zhiwan was a little surprised at their visit, but he did not lock the guests out.
The three of them were not familiar with each other and had no common topics. Lin Jiaqiao had a lot of questions and didn't know how to start.
Receiving her signal for help, Qin Guan took the initiative to ask: "How is your face?"
The gauze should have been removed by now.
The small wounds on his face had healed, and the deep cuts were forming scabs.
He said nonchalantly, "It's fine now. But sometimes it itches and I can't help scratching it."
Then he uttered a few words that sounded like English, but weren't.
Qin Guan whispered to Lin Jiaqiao, "It's in German. He's complaining about being itchy."
He warned Ying Zhiwan, "Don't scratch it, it will leave scars."
