Early the next morning, two cars drove into the parking lot of the Municipal Bureau in tandem.
Of course, the cool Lamborghini caused another round of onlookers.
As soon as she arrived at the office, Xiao Xue greeted softly with two dark circles under her eyes: "Captain Chu, consultant."
"How is it?" Tang Xi walked over.
"No." Xiao Xue shook her head, and yawned again, her eyes misty, "I checked, Ren Lan has never asked for leave for more than three days in a row since she was in junior high school. In the case records, it is usually a cold Cough, a few traumas now and then, then depression, nothing special."
"What about winter and summer vacation?" Tang Xi asked.
"Ren Lan is an orphan, and she used all her holidays to work." Xiao Xue replied immediately.
"Thanks for your hard work." Tang Xi was also a little emotional.
It is not so easy even for a computer expert to check a person's life seamlessly. This girl must have stayed up all night last night.
"Okay, your head is about to fall into the coffee cup." Chu Li sighed, "Go to the duty room and lie down for a while, I will call you if there is something urgent."
"Thank you, Team Chu." Xiao Xue smiled embarrassedly, stood up unsteadily, and floated away like a ghost.
"So, Ren Lan... doesn't look like she's had plastic surgery." Tang Xi held her chin in doubt.
Not to mention the surgery on the eyes, with the technology a few years ago, even if you get an eyebrow tattoo, you can't go out immediately.
"Listen to what the reporter has to say later," Chu Li said.
"Well, I'm going to check something." Tang Xi waved his hand and walked into the next door to Chu Li's office.
This place has been cleaned up and turned into her office. Although the space is not too big, it is neat and tidy. There is a set of desks and chairs, computers, phones, printers, and all kinds of office supplies. There are two on the opposite side of the desk. Chairs, a filing cabinet and a wardrobe against the wall are waiting to be filled by the owner.
Tang Xi casually put the things she brought into it—that is, a few spare replacement clothes, but over time, the things will naturally increase gradually.
Turn on the computer, the desktop is the police badge of the Municipal Bureau, except for the programs that should be installed, everything else is blank.
Tang Xi used his own number to enter the intranet of the police system to inquire about Ren Lan's suicide case.
Sure enough, there was nothing extra in the case file, just a more detailed description.
However, when she called up the personal data of Ren Lan and Tian Ye and compared them together, she couldn't help being stunned.
Ren Lan, Tian Ye. If you look at it separately, there is nothing special, but when you put the photos of the two together side by side, you can't understand... There are five or six similarities between the eyebrows and eyes of the two.
Illusion
"Su Huang, do you think they look alike?" Tang Xi pondered.
Su Huang appeared next to her, leaned on the desk, looked at it for a while, and said: "If you look at it separately, you won't think of each other, but they are very similar when you put them together. However, if you don't compare them deliberately, you must be familiar with them." People will notice it, right?"
"Ye Zhou?" Tang Xi raised an eyebrow.
"That scumbag used Tian Ye as Ren Lan's substitute?" Su Huang blurted out.
"Who knows." Tang Xi spread her hands, "Even if it is, it's a moral issue, and it can't be punished. Cheating... At most, it's just a verbal education, what else can I do to him?"
"Then forget it?" Su Huang was furious.
"Obviously not." Tang Xi said with a smile.
Su Huang immediately understood and was satisfied.
After a while, a call came from the internal line downstairs, and someone came.
Tang Xi turned off the computer, picked up the small bag and went out, Su Huang followed behind her with a big thorn, and made Chu Li look at it a few more times.
Su Huang froze, hesitated for a while, and got back into the bracelet.
very scary! There is probably a bonus in the police station, and the evil spirit on Chu Dui's body is even stronger!
"I am the most beautiful in the world" is a very young girl, in her early twenties, dressed very fashionable, and the bag on her back is also a new Chanel bag this year. She has a delicate appearance, but she is overwhelmed by the heavy makeup and dazzling diamond jewelry, and her temperament seems to be a little bit unbearable. Of course, it may also be because I was instinctively nervous when I entered the police station for the first time.
"Hello, I'm Chu Li, the leader of the Serious Crime Squad, and you're Miss He?" Chu Li stepped forward and shook hands with her.
"Yes, yes." The girl replied awkwardly, and then took another peek at Tang Xi.
"Hmm... He Xiaoman?" Tang Xi blurted out.
"Yes, Miss Tang still remembers me." He Xiaoman nodded.
"You know him?" Chu Li asked in surprise.
"I met Mr. He's daughter at Konka Pharmaceutical's Mr. He at Mr. Pei's birthday party last year," Tang Xi replied.
If she could remember He Xiaoman, it was because Kang Jia's He always was a single divorced mother who tried hard to push her daughter to Pei Qingzhi's side, but He Xiaoman herself was so timid that she was a little autistic. To be honest, although Mr. He is nearly forty years old, he is bright and generous, but it is He Xiaoman who is not good in appearance.
It's not ugly, but it just doesn't feel very attractive.
Tang Xi focused on He Xiaoman's eyes.
A pair of red phoenix eyes, there is no defect, is this envy Ren Lan's double eyelids
"It's just right, don't be so restrained." Chu Li waved his hand.
The three of them sat down in the lounge, He Xiaoman sat alone on a single sofa, Chu Li sat opposite, Tang Xi poured three times the boiling water by the water dispenser, and then sat on Chu Li's couch the other side.
"Miss He said that there are clues about Tian Ye's suicide that you want to tell us?" Chu Li opened the notebook.
"Yes." He Xiaoman's sitting posture was a little stiff, he fiddled with the strap of the bag, and then said after a pause, "Tian Ye and I are netizens, and we have met several times offline, so we are relatively familiar. But I don't know at home. My mother won't let me make this kind of friends, saying that it will lead me down... "
As she spoke, her voice became softer and softer.
Tang Xi couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Obviously Mr. He has a strong aura, why did he give birth to a daughter who looks like a little white rabbit? Is the future of Konka Pharmaceutical okay
"I came here alone today." He Xiaoman smiled awkwardly, and said, "Actually, I envy Tian Ye very much. She is so confident, unlike me, she can't do anything well."
"Tian Ye is very confident? Always?" Chu Li confirmed.
"Yes, full of energy, as if nothing can trouble her, I really don't believe that she... would commit suicide, obviously..." He Xiaoman held on to her bag tightly, and said after a while, "Obviously, she He also said that he planned not to renew the contract when the contract expires at the end of the year, and wanted to start from scratch in another city. I also said that I would treat her to dinner before leaving."
"Not renewing the contract?" Tang Xi's eyes froze, "Did you explain the reason?"
"No specifics, just..." He Xiaoman thought for a while before saying, "I feel that she is not very happy at work these days, ah yes, once she mentioned that the boss wants to chase her, but the age difference is too great , she is not happy."
"Scumbag!" Su Huang cursed again.
Tang Xi held down the bracelet, pretending she didn't hear it.
"Also, just the day before she committed suicide, we made a video. At that time, she told me with great interest that she hadn't been home for several years, and that she would go back to her hometown to be with her parents during Chinese New Year this year." He Xiaoman said, feeling excited , "She, she, how could she cut her wrist and commit suicide the next day!"
"Miss He, please calm down," Chu Li said.
"Ah, I'm sorry." He Xiaoman blushed, and subconsciously shifted her sitting position.
"Miss He." Tang Xi suddenly said, "Excuse me, do you still remember Ren Lan, the anchor of Xingchen TV?"
"Ren Lan?" He Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, with a dazed face, as if he hadn't reacted.
"By the way, you seem to be calling her Sister Lanlan." Tang Xi reminded Ren Lan, thinking that Ren Lan might not be broadcasting live with her real name.
"Ah, it's the blue lily." He Xiaoman thought for a while before remembering, but she was still very puzzled, "I remember, she is also the anchor of Xingchen TV, but I don't know her very well, and she just can post barrage , and occasionally get some small gifts, I haven't communicated with her in private, and I don't know her very well."
"She is Tian Ye's senior. She signed with the same company, was chased by the same boss, and committed suicide by cutting her wrist a year ago," Tang Xi said.
"What!" He Xiaoman's eyes widened in horror, and it took a long time to say with trembling lips, "I, committed suicide? I don't know... I really don't know. Xingchen TV didn't announce it, it was one day a year ago. At the beginning, Blue Lily's live broadcast room was suddenly closed, and there was only one explanation, which was that the contract had expired. I always thought she was quitting this business, after all... that happened."
"Oh? What happened?" Tang Xi raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, it's nothing." He Xiaoman hesitated for a moment, and then said, "That's right, at that time, someone revealed that Blue Lily was plastic surgery and an artificial beauty. This made some male fans who liked her very dissatisfied, and kept saying that they had been raped." She was cheated, and she was asked to return the gift, anyway... it was a big mess, maybe a month or two."
"Then has she had plastic surgery?" Tang Xi asked directly.
"I don't know either." He Xiaoman thought for a while before saying, "It's just that everyone said yes, maybe there is... I really like her eyes, and I asked, if it's possible, I, I kind of want to... Ok… "
"Your eyes are pretty, you don't need to use a knife," Tang Xi said.
"I just... imagine my mother." He Xiaoman said softly.
"So, in the final analysis, no one can prove that Ren Lan had plastic surgery, but everyone said so, so you all believe it?" Chu Li concluded.
"En." He Xiaoman nodded.
"Do you know who said it in the first place?" Chu Li asked.
"I don't know, but when they heard about it, everyone knew about it, and no one remembered who was the first to say that." He Xiaoman was helpless.
"So... do you remember the fans who made a lot of trouble at that time?" Tang Xi said.
"I remember a few ids that are quite special, but..." He Xiaoman said, a little hesitant.
"What's the matter? We will keep the information secret for those who provided it. Don't worry, Ms. He." Tang Xi comforted.
"I'm not worried about this, but... I suddenly remembered." He Xiaoman thought about it, "At that time, there was a lot of trouble, and it seemed that most of them were digital IDs, which were the default nicknames when they registered. Such fans Although there are a lot of them, they are usually watched and rarely participate in the interaction. After all, whether you want to interact with the anchor or collect gifts, you hope the anchor can remember you. This... "
"Water army." Tang Xi concluded with certainty.
"Miss He, just write down what you remember." Chu Li pushed his notebook and pen over.
"Okay." He Xiaoman thought for a while, and carefully wrote down two or three ids, and they were indeed the ones that impress you at first glance, and are especially unconventional.
"If Ms. He thinks of anything about Ren Lan and Tian Ye, please call this number directly." Chu Li turned over a blank page, wrote down the phone number of the serious crime team, and tore off the page for her.
"Okay." He Xiaoman took it with both hands, and said solemnly, "I will think about it again, but... Tian Ye will definitely not commit suicide, you must find out!"
"I'll do my best." Chu Li could only say.
He Xiaoman's eyes were too pure, which made his heart feel heavy. He knew very well that no matter what the reason was, according to the case file, Tian Ye's cause of death could only be suicide. But... whoever is behind this scene, whether it is a human or a ghost, must be punished as it should be.
After sending He Xiaoman away, both of them felt a little heavy in their hearts.
In the parking lot, Chu Li didn't move, took out a cigarette and lit it.
"It seems that Xiao Xiao is right. Ren Lan really hasn't had plastic surgery." Tang Xi leaned back against her car, and said calmly, "Someone wanted to bring down Ren Lan, so they spread rumors about her plastic surgery and bought a navy to build momentum." , It drove netizens who didn't know the truth, and finally drove Ren Lan to depression and committed suicide."
Chu Li exhaled a light blue smoke ring and didn't speak for a long time.
"Let Xiao Xiao check, spread rumors and slander, and cause people to commit suicide... Although they don't need to be responsible for the death result, they should at least bear the crime of defamation, right?" Tang Xi gritted her teeth.
"The leaders and planners can go to jail, but do you think... Ren Lan committed suicide because of them?" Chu Li asked.
"..." Tang Xi was speechless.
Who forced Ren Lan to commit suicide? Malicious rumormonger? Don't believe that she hastily dismissed Ye Zhou? Big booing fans? Maybe both. Normal people will not commit suicide just because one or two people are malicious to them. However, when everyone in the world is indifferently accusing and abusing themselves, there are not many people who can still laugh and say it's okay.
You can blame Ren Lan for being too contemptuous of your own life, but you can't blame her for not being strong enough.
The screen and network cables hide the real face, and no one knows whether the other side of the cold font is a human or a ghost.
Rumors are like knives, destroying bones.
"I'm leaving." Tang Xi opened the car door irritably and lit the ignition.
"Don't drive with emotion, pay attention to safety." Chu Li reminded.
"Whispering!" Tang Xi rolled his eyes at him, stepped on the accelerator, and the car smoothly turned out of the parking space.
Although she was in a bad mood, she still had to abide by the traffic regulations. She planned to go somewhere to play drag racing after the case was over, and arrived at Pei's downstairs in more than half an hour, exactly ten o'clock.
Probably because Pei Qingzhi had greeted him in advance, the security guard downstairs saw the license plate and led him directly to the internal parking lot.
"Miss Tang, Mr. Pei has told you that you can just take his special elevator up." The security guard said courteously.
"Thank you." Tang Xi nodded, entered the building from the passageway of the parking lot, and went upstairs without disturbing the front desk.
The top floor was quiet, and one could clearly hear voices coming from the small meeting room.
Tang Xi knew as soon as she walked over that the meeting was not over yet, so she pushed the door open and entered Pei Qingzhi's office, but there was no one there.
She threw her bag on the sofa casually, turned around, and came to the French window.
Looking back at the position of the office chair, and then looking at the window, if you look from there, the ghost from last night should have appeared here
Of course, right now, there is nothing.
Tang Xi thought for a while, concentrated her spiritual power on her fingertips, and began to draw spells on the glass windows and walls.
When Pei Qingzhi came in, he almost thought he had gone to the wrong office.
The originally clean and tidy office is now covered with incomprehensible spells from the ceiling to the floor, from the walls to the windows, like a haunted house.
"Okay!" Tang Xi finished the last stroke, and finally stopped.
"Xiao Xi, you..." Pei Qingzhi stood at the door, his face unable to express himself.
"Fu Zhen, don't worry, ghosts won't be able to enter your office from now on." Tang Xi turned around and smiled.
"But..." Pei Qingzhi wanted to say, wouldn't people be scared to death when they came in
"It's okay." Tang Xi clapped his hands together and said "Yin".
Countless charms emitted a faint light, and then slowly disappeared without traces.
"It will only show up when it is triggered, and it doesn't get in the way normally." Tang Xi said directly, "I'm a little busy recently, so I will isolate you for you first, and then I'll take a look at pulling that ghost out to see what it is after a while."
"Are you investigating the live broadcast suicide case?" Pei Qingzhi walked in the door.
"Yeah, I'm a little concerned." Tang Xi said frankly.
"What do you care about, is it haunted again?" Pei Qingzhi asked.
"People's hearts have always been scarier than ghosts." Tang Xi shrugged, went back to the sofa and sat down, and took out an emerald safety buckle tied with a red string from her bag, "I carved a few pieces of emeralds brought back from southern Xinjiang. The safety buckle has defensive runes engraved on the back, although it is not an ancient jade and cannot store much spiritual power, but it is better than nothing."
"Thank you." Pei Qingzhi also took it generously, compared the length, and hung it directly around his neck.
The red cord is just long enough for the safety buckle to disappear behind the shirt collar.
"If you have any questions, hide in the office and call me." Tang Xi urged.
"I'm very curious." Pei Qingzhi brought her a bottle of iced milk tea from the refrigerator, and said seriously, "You said that your talisman can keep ghosts out, so where are the ghosts around you now?"
Tang Xi froze for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "You are really perceptive. Yes, this talisman can block ghosts, but it can't block people. I was going to tell you that too."
"So, the Celestial Master can bring the ghosts in?" Pei Qingzhi confirmed.
"Not necessarily." Tang Xi shook her head, "Spite ghosts cannot pass through the talisman array, so the only way is to hide in a magic weapon and then brought in by a living person, such as my soul-raising bead bracelet, Chu Lishou But if the spiritual power of the magic weapon is not enough, even the ghosts inside will be crushed. However, it is best not to let anyone in casually."
"I see." Pei Qingzhi let out a sigh of relief.
"You have no other plans in the morning?" Tang Xi asked.
"No, there will be a meeting in the afternoon." Pei Qingzhi raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "I still have... three hours."
"Let's go to eat." Tang Xi picked up her bag and waved happily.
Seeing that her mood finally improved, Pei Qingzhi also smiled slightly, sent a message to Xiang Jiuming, raised his head and said, "Let's go."
"Well, take my car today?" Tang Xi turned the car key in his hand.
"Okay." Pei Qingzhi said.
However, the security guards in the parking lot and Sheng Tang's parking attendant were still taken aback.
Boss Pei actually took a car driven by a girl!
"You order." Pei Qingzhi pushed the menu over calmly.
"Hmm..." Tang Xi glanced at the menu and said without hesitation, "Just order all of your new menus for this season. You don't need to serve drinks, just rice."
"Okay, Miss Tang." The waiter quickly cleaned up the menu and served tea again.
It is said that a new autumn menu is launched, but in fact, there are four or five new dishes, all of which are seasonal ingredients in autumn, and it happens to be one of each.
"Do you want to come to the old house for Chinese New Year this year?" Pei Qingzhi asked.
"Aren't your second and third uncles coming back?" Tang Xi asked after a pause.
"Yeah." Pei Qingzhi sneered, "Last year, I dragged myself out until the 28th, and I didn't even smile when I came back to say goodbye to grandpa. Anyway, grandpa has already distributed all the shares and real estate in his hand, leaving only cash Do daily expenses. They should also give up. The company always has their place. Although they have no power, as long as I am still here and the Pei family does not fail, the dividends will increase every year. They are still looking forward to me Good is better."
Tang Xi couldn't help laughing, and said again: "You don't have to do anything, just lie down and get the money, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?"
"I don't care about spending some money to raise a few trash, as long as they don't mess with me." Pei Qingzhi frowned, "After all, they are all surnamed Pei, blood relatives, and I don't want to make it too ugly and make grandpa restless in his later years. But like Pei Qing and Pei Qinghong..."
"Do you want me to help?" Tang Xi asked enthusiastically.
"How can you help?" Pei Qing was puzzled.
"It's like a curse. I'll put a curse on them. If they think about it, they'll be gutted." Tang Xi said seriously.
"Is there really that kind of spell?" Pei Qing was shocked.
"Fake!" Tang Xi rolled her eyes.
"..." Pei Qingzhi couldn't laugh or cry.
"However, there is a way." Tang Xi snickered twice, "It can be done so that they can't harm you or the Pei family."
"Is it troublesome?" Pei Qingzhi thought for a while.
"It's not too much trouble, just borrow some of your blood." Tang Xi said.
"They came back to celebrate the New Year on the first day of the new year. They should all be there." Pei Qingzhi said, "My aunt has changed a lot in Australia this year, and I heard that she and my uncle have gotten along well. Grandpa finally let the family come back to celebrate the New Year. It just happened to be in Australia. It's summer vacation, long vacation, Li Qingxue brother and sister will come back with them."
"New Year's Day." Tang Xi was a little embarrassed, "Your family reunion, can I go?"
"Chu Li used to celebrate New Year at my house every year, and no one said he was an outsider." Pei Qingzhi took it for granted.
"That's it, that's fine." Tang Xi nodded happily without thinking too much.
"I ordered someone to order a batch of fireworks, basically all the patterns are ready." Pei Qingzhi said again.
"Speaking of fireworks, your old house is big enough, and I'll show you a wonderful one then." Tang Xi said mysteriously.
"I'll wait." Pei Qingzhi smiled.
Just when the food was delivered, a plate of chrysanthemum crab was golden, which caught people's attention.
"Now is the season to eat crabs, but crabs are cold, so don't eat too much." Pei Qingzhi warned.
"You are so long-winded." Tang Xi stuck out her tongue at him.
Pei Qingzhi couldn't help laughing, he always felt that eating with Tang Xi, even the food would be particularly delicious.
Maybe... just looking at the way she eats, I feel that it must taste good, so that joy can soak into my eyes.
