ghost in the office

If it was Cai Tian who looked at them coldly, even Cai Tian's shameless face was facing them, the shock to Dai Ran and Yuan Yi would not be so strong.

Without facial features, the strong sense of gloom has not diminished in the slightest.

For a long while, no one spoke in the room, and the silence was terrifying.

Dai Ran has encountered various cases since he was a police officer. Among them, there are many unusual things done by people with abnormal mentality, which are what many people call "abnormal", such as dismembering, collecting the hair of the dead, and liking to Certain groups of people with a certain characteristic start, but this is the first time this has been seen.

Peel off Cai Tian's face, and draw a face of the dead without facial features on the wall of the dead man's house, what does this represent?

When Yuan Yi saw this wall for the first time, he had a strange feeling in his heart. In addition to the face without facial features, it was extremely similar, and there was also that kind of paint, which was so bright that it looked strange.

"When you came here, you said it might be some kind of ceremony." Yuan Yi first broke the dead silence in the room, "Is it possible that this painting really represents something?"

Dai Ran didn't nod or shake his head: "I'm not sure. In some cases, the murderer drew pictures at the scene to represent some kind of symbol or ceremony, but we know almost nothing about this case so far, so it's hard to determine."

Yuan Yi took out his mobile phone to take a picture of the picture on the wall, and Dai Ran read it carefully again in the room. Finally, Dai Ran stood in front of the row of bookshelves again, took a book from inside and opened it, This book seemed to be an ancient romance, Dai Ran glanced at it roughly, put this book back, and took another one to flip through.

One after another, Dai Ran found that there was not much difference in the types of Cai Tian's books. They mainly focused on romance, ancient romance, modern romance, fantasy romance, and the number of words in each book was not many. It is in line with the fast-food reading habits of many modern people.

After flipping through another book, Dai Ran was about to put the book back and continue to pick up another one, but just as he stood the book upright, something fell out of it.

Dai Ran stepped back a little, and first looked down, it seemed to be something made of paper.

After thinking about it, Dai Ran took out his gloves and put them on, then bent down to pick up the thing from the ground, it turned out to be a photo.

It was a very old photo. The lower right corner of the photo showed the date, September 2006, 9. On the photo were six girls, lined up in a row, each with their heads tilted and their bodies slanted, facing the camera. Laughing and making a V gesture with his right hand.

"Yuan Yi, come and take a look." Dai Ran handed him the photo, "In 06, it's been ten years."

Yuan Yi took a look at the girls in the photo. It seemed that the photo was taken standing at some kind of doorway. Behind the girl on the far right was the word "shelou", and there were a few bushes of green bushes beside her.

"The photo is in Cai Tian's book, will there be Cai Tian in it?" Dai Ran asked as he took out his mobile phone, thanks to the development of the Internet and media, and Cai Tian has been participating in various activities, so there are many photos Dai Ran searched and found many photos of Cai Tian.

Dai Ran compared the six girls in the photo, and then said with some doubts: "None of them look like Cai Tian?"

Yuan Yi followed suit, and it seemed that there were indeed none.

In any case, the photos should be taken back, and maybe some other clues can be found.

On the way back, Cao Cao called to say that Congee Congee and the others had already gone back, and the investigation that Dai Ran ordered him to investigate was almost done.

After returning to the office, Cao Cao asked everyone to sit down and discuss without saying a word. Cao Cao turned on the projector in advance and put all the information he found on it: "Cai Tian published the first article in 2006 on the xx website. At that time, I wrote It was a short romance story, and the number of hits on this article was not bad. In the second year, Cai Tian signed a contract with a website and became a signed author. At the beginning, her income was not much, and most of it came from the share of VIP chapters and readers’ rewards. , but in 2010, Cai Tian wrote a long ancient romance, which quickly became popular. Not only was it published, the sales volume was good, and it was quickly picked up by a film and television company and sold the copyright. Since then, Cai Tian has almost every This book was bought at the beginning of writing, and she did not renew her contract with the website after it expired, and started to write alone, but it may be due to the high popularity and previous accumulation is enough, so even if new authors emerge in an endless stream in recent years, she The reputation is not small."

Cao Cao's information is very detailed. The publication time of each book, which company the copyright was sold to, the name of the publishing house, and the responsible editor are all listed.

Yuan Yi browsed through the long list. There are 23 books in total, with a total word count of 410 million. According to Cao Cao's information, the first book was published in 2010. Up to now, the publishing house has officially published 17 books, which is also That is to say, 17 books have been published in seven years, with an average of more than two books per year.

Really productive.

A total of 14 film and television copyrights were sold. The specific amount may not be listed because it involves commercial secrets, but it is quite considerable.

"Head, I did a special check. From 2011 to last year, Cai Tian ranked among the top five richest writers every year. According to the list data, from 2011 to 2016, Cai Tian's total income exceeded 8000 million. "Cao Cao sat back in his seat after finishing speaking, indicating that he had finished speaking temporarily.

Congee sticks out her tongue: "It's really rich, I'll be happy if I can earn a small change in my life." Dai Ran motioned her to lament later and get down to business first.

"Melon and I went to the university where Cai Tian was studying, found her counselor back then, and chatted with her. The counselor said that Cai Tian was not very popular in the class. She was in charge of the three classes of Cai Tian's major at that time. , a total of more than 150 students, I don’t have a deep impression of Cai Tian, ​​but after Cai Tian became famous, she went back to school to do activities and went to see her as a counselor, so she remembers it very clearly.”

Yuan Yi: "Inconspicuous when you're studying?"

"Yes, you have all read books, understand this, right? There are too many students, and it is impossible for teachers to notice everyone, especially in universities where students are already adults, and counselors have fewer opportunities to contact students. Either the grades are very good, or the sports meeting won the prize, or the teacher will notice if he is outstanding in some activities." Melon once again took the end of Congee Congee's conversation, "Cai Tian is a very ordinary kind of student , doesn’t belong to any category, her grades are average, she won’t fail a class and won’t get a scholarship, and her counselor herself said that if Cai Tian didn’t become a well-known writer later, she would hardly remember this student.”

"The counselor actually doesn't know much about the lives of the students, but she gave us the contact information of the students who lived in the same dormitory with Cai Tian back then, a total of five people."

Dai Ran remembered the photo that fell out of the book, took it from the side, and asked them to pass it around: "I found this in Cai Tian's own book, Yuan Yi and I compared Cai Tian's photos on the Internet, there is no Cai Tian, ​​maybe you can look up the person in this photo."

Melon and Congee put their heads together to study the photo. Melon turned on her mobile phone and searched for a few photos of Cai Tian. After comparing them for a while, Congee looked up at Dai Ran and said with contempt: "Head, There is obviously Cai Tian in here? You didn't see it yourself, did you?"

Dai Ran and Yuan Yi looked at each other for a while, they both carefully compared, and they didn't see that Cai Tian was similar to anyone in the photo.

"Here, look." Melon pointed to the girl on the far left, "That's her."

The three big men got up, crossed the table, and leaned their heads in front of the melon to look. The girl in the photo had a ponytail, a round face, and a pair of thick black-rimmed glasses.

Dai Ran rubbed his eyes: "Are you two mistaken, this is not like Cai Tian at all."

Yuan Yi also nodded. Indeed, the photos of Cai Tian they found on the Internet had almost no similarities with the girl Melo and the others pointed out.

Melon's slender hand clicked twice on the photo, and said in a more contemptuous tone: "Head, Yiyi, you don't know much about women. Let's put it this way, Cai Tian was only young at that time and didn't know how to make up. At that time Maybe I don’t know that there are all kinds of techniques that can make me beautiful. Later, when I became rich, I knew more and more things, and when I became famous, I became more particular, so naturally I became more and more able to package myself.”

She pointed to herself while talking, "There are not many people who are naturally beautiful like me, but believe it or not, if I put on makeup and change clothes, I guarantee that you will not recognize me."

Congee Congee pulled out a photo of Cai Tian recently attending the book fair from her mobile phone: "Look, the current Cai Tian, ​​according to my understanding, should have shaved cheeks and blunted bones, and her nose has also been raised."

Now Yuan Yi was even more confused: "Then how can you be sure that the girl in the photo is Cai Tian?"

Porridge and Melon looked at each other, turned their heads to look at the three men at the same time, and said in unison: "This is a woman's intuition."

Then Melon added, "Of course, no matter how sophisticated modern technology is, a person's outline and many details cannot be faked. If you don't believe me, you can ask an expert."

Cao Cao took the photo in his hand and walked out: "I know experts in this field, please wait for me for a few minutes."

Since they had to wait for Cao Cao, they took the opportunity to take a break. They said it was a rest, but in fact they made a pot of black tea for everyone to moisten their throats.

Dai Ran: "Did you find anything else?"

Congee congee thought for a while, then shook his head: "No head, we went to the relevant person in charge of the student union and club, but we couldn't find Cai Tian's participation record back then, so I came back after seeing the counselor."

"Does the counselor know that Cai Tian started writing when she was studying?"

"I don't know. The counselor said that I saw Cai Tian being interviewed on TV a few years ago. At that time, I thought it looked familiar, but I couldn't remember it. Later, Cai Tian went to see her when she went back to school, and she knew."

"Congee Congee, have you read Cai Tian's book?" Yuan Yi felt that reading was the most direct way to understand a writer. He always felt that words could more or less reveal a person's heart.

Congee smiled lightly: "I have read it, maybe it is disrespectful to the dead, but I think Cai Tian's books are getting worse and worse. The first few books are amazing, and they are very prominent among authors who write the same subject, but in recent years, Especially since the year before last, there is an increasing trend of exhaustion, but it does not prevent her book from selling well."

Melon agreed: "I've read a few books, and they're all very popular. Except for the one that made her popular, I don't think the others are interesting."

Yuan Yi decided to stay up late at night to roughly look through Cai Tian's books that he bought from the bookstore before. He was suddenly curious about such a talented writer who was described by the teacher as "inconspicuous" by outsiders.

Cao Cao resolutely came back again, and even stretched out his hand to flick Melon's head: "The two beauties are amazing, this girl is really Cai Tian."

Cai Tian's old classmate

Congee Congee and Melon proudly raised their chins towards Dairan and Yuan Yi, with an expression of "Let's see".

Cao Cao looked puzzled: "Don't tell me, at first I thought there was no Cai Tian among the six girls. It seems that men and women are different."

Dai Ran didn't ask Cao Cao who he went to. Cao Cao was always joking and reliable in his work. What he was more curious about was how the same person could have such a big change in appearance. There will be changes, and he himself looks different from when he was young, but the change is so big that it really surprises him.

"Head, as I said before, modern technology will make a person undergo earth-shaking changes. Eyes, nose, mouth, and face shape can all be changed through technology. In addition to the current makeup technology, as long as a person has money, it is enough. So parents can't recognize it." Melon explained.

Yuan Yi took the group photo and compared it with Cai Tian's photo on the phone. I don't know if it was a psychological effect. Looking carefully at the eyes, nose and browbones, they were indeed somewhat similar.

Dai Ran waved his hand and signaled everyone to sit down: "Now it is confirmed that the girl in the photo is Cai Tian. Is it possible that the other five girls are her college roommates?"

Click on the time in the lower right corner of the photo, "At this time, Cai Tian is studying in university, and the scenery in the photo looks a bit like the entrance of a university dormitory."

Indeed, the word "dormitory" is exposed behind the girl on the far right, and looking at the building behind, it really looks like a university dormitory building.

Congee Congee took out a piece of paper from his notebook: "This is the contact information of Cai Tian's five roommates that Cai Tian's counselor gave us back then. Just find them and show them the photos."

Dai Ran picked up the photo and stared at Cai Tian: "The current clue is in this photo, let's do it like this, there are five people in total, Cao Cao is responsible for finding out the current contact information and addresses of the five people, porridge melon go Find two of them, Yuan Yi and I, and Cao Cao one."

In the photo, Cai Tian doesn't look so beautiful, but she is full of youth, and the smile on her face looks very happy.

Cao Cao originally wanted to complain, why he was alone again, according to the police rules, two people should go out to investigate cases together, Dai Ran jumped ahead of him and said: "Cao Cao, let's work, work harder now, When this case is over, if there are no other cases coming, I will give you a holiday."

Silently swallowing the complaints, Cao Cao went to the office and turned on his computer to start working.

Yuan Yi looked at the time, Cao Cao didn't have time to go out today after checking things, and planned to look through Cai Tian's books. He and Dai Ran bought a total of nine Cai Tian's books in the bookstore, a thick stack.

"Yiyi, someone is looking for you." Congee Congee just went downstairs to buy something, and when he came up, there was a young man behind him.

When she finished shopping and went into the yard, this man was standing at the door looking in, looking like he wanted to enter but didn't dare to enter, Congee asked him what's the matter, he said he was looking for Yuan Yi, Congee took him with him up.

The young man became excited when he saw Yuan Yi. Regardless of the presence of several other people, he threw himself on Yuan Yi's body and shouted, "I sent you a message to ask you to go downstairs to pick me up, but you didn't go."

This move startled the other three people, Congee Congee and Melon opened their mouths slightly, this young man of yours looks about the same age as Yuan Yi, muttering on Yuan Yi, not to mention how intimate he is Acting like no one else was around.

Dai Ran leaned against the window, crossed his arms, and stared blankly at the two people who were stuck together.

Yuan Yi was very embarrassed, and quickly pushed away the person lying on him, and said to Dai Ran: "Sorry, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back soon."

The young man seemed to realize that there were other people in the room. He stood up straight and greeted the three of them with a smile: "Hello, my name is Wei Zuo. You can call me Xiao Zuo." Huh, "Wow, Yiyi is so lucky to have such a beautiful beauty among her colleagues."

Congee Congee and Melon just thought that this person was very condescending, but now they feel that this person looks very pleasing to the eye, his mouth is too sweet, and he can really talk.

Yuan Yi seemed unable to stay any longer, smiled apologetically at Congee Congee and Melon, grabbed the man's arm and walked out, Dai Ran watched them go out, the footsteps became farther and farther away, until they could not be heard clearly, He turned around and looked into the yard. Sure enough, Yuan Yi and the man had already walked into the yard, and the man was still holding Yuan Yi's arm, smiling very close to him.

Dairan suddenly stretched out his hand and closed the window heavily, said "I'm going back to the dormitory" and left. Porridge and Melon felt that Dairan's steps were fast and heavy when he walked out, which seemed uncomfortable.

In the courtyard downstairs, Yuan Yi tore Wei Zuo off his arm again without a word: "What are you doing here?"

Wei Zuo smiled: "Yesterday you asked me to drive the car home without saying anything. Auntie and the others are worried. Let me come and see you."

"I'm at work, and there's nothing to see." Yuan Yi, a cousin who has never been in good shape since he was a child, talks nonsense when he sees people talking, no one knows whether he is joking with you or talking seriously, "And I went home yesterday for a trip."

Wei Zuo looked at Yuan Yi's face, tut tut and shook his head: "It's only been a few days, you have dark circles under your eyes, I said one by one, Chen An said this is an ordinary company, I don't think it looks like it anyway? "

"Call me cousin." Yuan Yi has reminded this kid how many times he called him since he was a child, but Wei Zuo never yelled, and said that he was only born three hours later than Yuan Yi, and it was unfair to call him brother. , "What do you have to say quickly, I have something to do later."

Enough laughing, Wei Zuo put away his indecent expression, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it over: "He asked me to give it to you. I originally wanted to send it to you when you got home, but You haven't been back recently, so I had to come to you."

Yuan Yi's arms were hanging by his side, he didn't intend to pick up the letter, he stared at the cover for a while, then moved his eyes to Wei Zuo's face: "Have you forgotten what I said to you? "

His tone was very flat, and his expression was also flat, but the chill in his eyes still made Wei Zuo, who grew up with him, shrink back: "But he insists on asking me to give it to you, I..."

"Xiao Zuo, I don't want to say the ugly words a second time. I believe you can throw it away or take it back. If you insist on giving it to me, I will tear it up in front of you." Yuan Yi didn't play anymore. Mood, let Wei Zuo go home, and he still has to work.

Wei Zuo pouted, he knew Yuan Yi very well, he had a calm personality, it was difficult to lose his temper, but he was stubborn, and even a few cows would not come back for the decision, just like coming to this place to work, his aunt and uncle started They disagreed, and the parents were not very happy to come to this place with a job with a considerable annual salary, but Yuan Yi insisted on coming here.

So now that Yuan Yi asked him to go home, even though Wei Zuo was full of reluctance, he didn't dare to refute. If his cousin really became popular, he couldn't stand it.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Wei Zuo stuffed the letter back into his pocket. Since Yuan Yi didn't want it, the letter should be returned to its original owner, and he has no right to dispose of it.

Yuan Yi lifted his legs and was about to go back to the building. Before leaving, he added to his cousin who looked unhappy: "Go home early, and tell me if you come here later."

"Oh." Yuan Yi didn't mean to send him off, he seemed really upset, and Wei Zuo didn't dare to post it again, and shouted to Yuan Yi's back, "See you one by one."

Yuan Yi didn't look back, stretched out his right hand and waved it casually, and disappeared in the corridor.

I knew it would be like this, his cousin, he had been taught, but that person was also his friend, begging himself for help, and he couldn't bear it if he didn't help.

Now that Yuan Yi has confiscated the letter, when he returns the letter to that person another day, he will definitely hear his sighs and complaints again, and the hairs stand on end just thinking about it.

"Leaving?" Dai Ran didn't know when he was standing at the corner of the third floor. Yuan Yi lowered his head and was thinking about something while climbing the stairs, when a sudden voice came out, which made him startled.

Nodding, Yuan Yi didn't really want to mention this, so he turned the topic to Cai Tian: "How about Cao Cao?"

"Huh?" Dai Ran could tell that Yuan Yi didn't really want to mention the man with whom he seemed to have a close relationship, and he didn't introduce him just now, so he was inexplicably absent-minded.

Yuan Yi looked at Dai Ran strangely: "How is Cao Cao doing his research?"

"Oh, he said it will take some time, anyway, it's not too early now, let's go to Cai Tian's classmate tomorrow morning." Dai Ran pinched his nose, thinking that he had a lot of things to do. Why do you want yourself, no, why do you want people in this office to know you?

In this case, Yuan Yi planned to read Cai Tian's book, told Dai Ran, and returned to his dormitory from the meeting room with the pile of books.

Regardless of the content, Cai Tian’s books have beautiful binding designs. Yuan Yi knows that some people like to collect books with unique bindings. Almost all of Cai Tian’s books have such characteristics.

I poured myself a glass of water and started flipping through one of the books. Time was running out, so I couldn't study it in detail, so I could only flip through it roughly.

Ten minutes later, Yuan Yi entered the meeting room. Congee Congee was sorting out all the information about Cai Tian's publications that Cao Cao had found before. Seeing Yuan Yi added two handfuls of tea leaves to his teacup, he couldn't help saying: " Yiyi, drinking such strong tea, don’t you need to sleep at night?”

Yuan Yi smiled wryly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I read Cai Tian's book and I feel a little sleepy. Drink some strong tea to refresh myself."

Yuan Yi didn't lie to Congee Congee, he randomly picked a book from the pile of books, and felt sleepy after reading it for a short time. I don't know if his appreciation ability is faulty. He felt that the story structure of the book was faulty, and the words and sentences were very artificial. , there are even a lot of wrong sentences, and although the introduction of the story is about court struggles, but after half of the reading, only the hero and heroine are in love, and nothing else is found.

Congee Congee: "What's the name of the book you read?"

""xxxxxxxx"."

"This book just came out last year. I've read it too. It's not very well written. The story is old-fashioned, and it seems that the sentences can't be organized smoothly." Congee sighed, "Actually, I admired it at first. She, I don't know why the level has dropped so fast in the past two years."
