ghost in the office

Hearing what Congee said, Yuan Yi decided to read the earliest ones after finishing this one. He reads very fast, and Cai Tian's book is a pure love novel, so he finished it very quickly.

I took a closer look at the publication time of each book. The earliest book in this stack was published in 2012. Yuan Yi pulled it out and pinched his eyebrows. Although Cai Tian's novels are not my favorite, but now I need them for work. , It depends on whether you like it or not.

Unexpectedly, this book attracted Yuan Yi from the very beginning. He wanted to skim through it, but the writing was so exciting that Yuan Yi was reluctant to skip it, so he could not help but follow the plot and get involved.

Compared with the book he opened before, the level of this book is simply not the same. Whether it is the plot structure, story logic, or the fluency of writing and narrative skills, it is much better than the previous book.

He finally understood Congee Congee's sentimental sentence "Why has the level dropped so much?" Indeed, if he hadn't known in advance that the author was the same person, Yuan Yi would never have thought that the two books were written by the same person.

The first book he read was the one published last year. Not to mention a single story, there were big problems with the most basic writing and words. Yuan Yi even felt that there were many sentences that were obviously wrong.

Yuan Yi was really surprised that the levels of novels written by the same person fluctuated so much. He flipped through the stack of books, arranged them in chronological order, picked up the earliest one, and continued to read.

Melon bought a meal and came back to share it with everyone. Cao Cao checked the information by his computer, Congee Porridge and Dai Ran took something to eat by themselves, Melon looked for Yuan Yi: "Where's Yi Yi?"

"I'm reading Cai Tian's novel." Porridge replied.

"I'll call him, it's late, I need to eat."

Dai Ran stretched out his hand to stop Melon, "No, let him read it." Melon wanted to shout, but Dai Ran shook his head, "He should be serious about it now, it's okay, wait until he finishes watching."

Yuan read things very quickly, and because of his good memory, he came out two hours later dizzy and had a general understanding of the outlines of the nine novels.

"How is it, are you okay?" Dai Ran seemed to have been sitting in the conference room without leaving. A pot of boiling water was already boiling on the table next to him. When Yuan Yi entered, he stood up and poured the pot into a glass, signaling Yuan Yi sat down, took out a bowl from the rice cooker and put it in front of Yuan Yi, "Let's eat first."

It’s okay not to mention, but Yuan Yi really felt hungry. On the table was a bowl of rice, with chili fried meat and some vegetables on it. Because it had been warming in the rice cooker, the food was still fragrant at the moment. Yuan Yi clearly heard his stomach growl twice, he looked up at Dai Ran embarrassedly, but Dai Ran didn't seem to hear it, and pointed to the bowl, "Eat, we'll talk after we finish eating."

Yuan Yi started to eat, although he was extremely hungry, but Yuan Yi did not gobble it up, he still chewed slowly, Dai Ran thought that Cao Cao was very hungry after checking things half an hour ago, the situation during the meal was almost as if he was about to eat. Swallowing all the bowls and chopsticks, Yuan Yi doesn't look so elegant in comparison.

Dai Ran wanted to study the materials Cao Cao had brought over, but when Yuan Yi was eating, he thought of something else in his mind, and his eyes fixed on Yuan Yi.

Yuan Yi didn't intend to put on a show in front of other people. The education he had received since he was a child was not to be in a hurry to eat. After more than 20 years, this has long been a habit engraved in his bones. Therefore, after eating, Yuan Yi found that Dai Ran was looking at He still held a few pieces of paper in his hand.

Thinking that food was stuck on his face, Yuan subconsciously touched his face, but there was nothing there, so he gave Dai Ran a slightly puzzled smile.

Suddenly waking up, Dai Ran touched his nose unnaturally, and brought up the matter: "Have you finished reading Cai Tian's book?"

"I looked it up about once, and I agree with what Congee Congee said, that the level has dropped rapidly." Yuan Yi was full of energy after eating, and immediately wanted to express his thoughts, "And I think it's not just the level that has declined. The writing style, as well as the control and thinking about the whole story, her previous books can see a lot of thinking about society and rules under the surface of romance. Now, to put it in a disrespectful way, even pure romance seems to be Can't write well."

Congee Congee and Melon took a shower and returned to the conference room. This is the advantage of living in the dormitory together. There is nowhere to go, and everyone is here. Anything that comes to mind can be discussed. Sometimes there are unexpected surprises harvest.

Porridge happened to hear Yuan Yi's last words, and nodded with deep sympathy: "Yes, I don't understand this point. A person's experience change can't cause a decline in writing level so much, right?"

Cao Cao not only found the current contact information and addresses of Cai Tian’s five roommates in the university, but also found out the URLs of Cai Tian’s previous short stories on the website. Find out the text.

Soon, the first short article appeared on the projection screen. Several people cast their eyes on it at the same time. The number of words was very small, but after reading a few lines, they felt that the level was quite high, especially Cai Tian was only about 20 years old at the time. college students, but the thinking between the lines is very profound, and the writing style can be regarded as excellent.

After reading three lines at a glance, Melon changed to another article, and then the third article. It took a few people more than half an hour to read all three short articles. They looked at each other and no one spoke.

"I have a feeling." Congee Congee is the one with the deepest and most ambivalent feelings for Cai Tian's article among these few people. She was the first to break the silence, "I don't think the article at that time and the one now are quite the same. written by people."

"I don't know how to describe that feeling, and I'm not an expert in this field, and she is indeed getting more and more popular, but I started to read her first book, and slowly, from surprise to plain, and then to I don't understand, but by the time of the last book, I was already very surprised, because the level is really too bad."

Congee Congee was a little lonely when he said the last sentence, "She is gone like this, no one knows the reason, right?"

Yuan Yi's eyes suddenly lit up. After he finished reading Cai Tian's novel, he always had the feeling that Cai Tian changed his soul in the later stage, and those profound thoughts and writing ability in his mind disappeared. Congee Congee's statement coincides with him.

Dai Ran handed the document in his hand to Congee Congee: "Here are the contact information and addresses of Cai Tian's five roommates. Two of you are visiting this city, and one is in a neighboring city. I am in Li Youna. Bian seconded a brother to go there with Cao Cao, and the other two coincidentally are in xx city. Tomorrow, Yuan Yi and I will drive there. It is quite far away. It will take us about three days. Be careful, call me in time .”

"Understood."

Everyone went back to the room to rest. Dai Ran had just taken off his clothes when the mobile phone rang on the table. Dai Ran's eyebrows trembled. The most fearful thing for those who do their kind of work is that the mobile phone rings in the middle of the night. , because nothing good will happen.

"Hey."

"Old Dai, we received a report and found a female body. Guess where it is?"

"It has something to do with my side... has something to do with Cai Tian?"

"Smart, it's in Cai Tian's house. We found a wall with interlayers in her house. After knocking it open, we found a female corpse. According to the preliminary autopsy of the forensic doctor, she had been dead for about a year. One more thing..."

Dai Ran looked at the time, it was [-]:[-] in the night, passing now should not affect the trip to xx City tomorrow, he interrupted Li You: "I'll be there right away."

Putting on his clothes again, he took the car keys and planned to go downstairs. Passing Yuan Yi's dormitory, the light from the crack of the door indicated that Yuan Yi was still awake. He stopped and thought for a while, and Dai Ran knocked on the door twice. As soon as he opened the door, he had already changed into his pajamas, and he was probably about to go to sleep.

"Li You called me and said that a female corpse was found at Cai Tian's house. I plan to go over and have a look. Seeing that you are still awake, I want to ask if you are going?" Dai Ran said.

Yuan Yi didn't even hesitate: "I'll go, just wait for me."

There were very few cars on the road in the middle of the night, so Dai Ran picked up the speed and felt Cai Tian's residence within ten minutes.

"Old Dai, you're here." Li You stood in the house and greeted. At this moment, most people in this city had turned off their lights and gone to sleep, but the lights here were still brightly lit, and many people were busy in an orderly manner.

The corpse has been removed, Li You pointed to the wall: "That's where it was found."

Dai Ran and Yuan Yi were very surprised to find that the wall was the one where the faceless man was painted before. Because it was knocked open, they could clearly see a mezzanine about [-] centimeters long, which should be more than enough to hide a person.

"How did you find out?"

"It's also a coincidence. People from my side came in today and saw the paintings on this wall. They felt very special. One of them accidentally knocked on this wall a few times when he was talking to others, and felt that the sound was not right. I personally researched it, and I think there is something wrong with the wall." Li You shook his head, "I don't know when this corpse was hidden here, isn't Cai Tian afraid of living here all the time?"

Yuan Yi went to the mezzanine and looked inside. Except for some gravel and cement blocks, there was nothing. If this corpse has been here all the time, it means that Cai Tian lives under the gaze of a corpse every day.

Yuan Yi is not superstitious, but this kind of imagination is really not good. He rubbed his face. When the wall was still there, a faceless person on it stared at the people in the room coldly. Now the wall is gone. , the person hidden in the wall may have been staring at everyone for a long time.

The next day, according to Dai Ran's arrangement yesterday, several people set out to visit Cai Tian's college roommate.

Yuan Yi found that Dai Ran was in good spirits. Although the two returned to the dormitory at night, it was almost 01:30 in the night, but Dai Ran was not tired at all while driving. Instead, he yawned several times in a row, and finally smiled awkwardly After a moment: "Sorry."

"I'm sorry, I called you out in the middle of the night." Dairan had become a habit of staying up late, and she really didn't feel anything at the moment, "How about this, you sleep in the car for a while, and I'll call you when you get there."

Yuan Yi thought about it, he was really sleepy, even in xx city, he would not have much energy to work in this situation.

"Go to sleep and refresh yourself. In case I get sleepy too, you can drive." Dai Ran said with a smile.

Yuan Yi adjusted his posture, put the seat back a little, closed his eyes, sleepiness hit him immediately, and he quickly fell asleep.

Turning his head to look at Yuan Yi whose breathing has become even, Dai Ran closed the car window and concentrated on driving.

Xu Tingting ([-])

When Yuan Yi woke up, Dai Ran was still concentrating on driving the car. Before reaching their destination this time, Yuan adjusted the seat and turned his head to look out the window. Their car should be driving at on the highway.

"Here." Dai Ran took out something from the drawer and gave it to Yuan Yi, it was a bottle of mints.

Just after waking up, he was indeed a little confused. Yuan Yi poured a pill out of the bottle and put it in his mouth. In an instant, an extremely strong cooling sensation rushed to his head. Yuan Yi immediately felt that his spirit had improved a lot.

"Sometimes I'm too sleepy to work on a case, so I just eat this." Dairan's speed slowed down a bit, and he seemed to be entering the city, "Everyone in our office has a bottle."

Yuan Yi patted his face vigorously, feeling that he had fully recovered. He just checked the time, and he slept for about two and a half hours. The estimated time from where they were to the destination was a little over three hours. It should be there soon.

What they expected was right, Dai Ran parked the car in front of an office building in 10 minutes. According to Cao Cao's information, one of Cai Tian's roommates, a girl named Xu Tingting, works in a company there.

"It's not good for us to go up like this. She's not a prisoner. If we question her as a policeman, it might cause trouble for this girl." Dai Ran thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and dialed the number on the file.

Dai Ran was thinking of Xu Tingting, but when an unfamiliar number called and said that he was a policeman, most of the time no one would believe him. Various popular science and fraud incidents in modern times have greatly increased people's vigilance.

Dai Ran communicated with Xu Tingting for several minutes, but Xu Tingting refused to come out. Finally, Dai Ran said: "We are here to find you about Cai Tian. If you refuse to come down, we can only go up to find you, girl."

Perhaps because of the scary words, Xu Tingting finally let go after hesitating for a few minutes, but she said that it was working time, she could not leave casually, and made an appointment with Dai Ran and the others to meet at a nearby cafe.

There was still half an hour before the appointed time, Dairan took advantage of this time to make a phone call to several other people, intending to ask them if they had any gains.

Cao Cao told Dai Ran that he had found someone and asked some questions, but he didn't know anything except that he and Cai Tian were indeed college classmates and roommates.

"Does she know that Cai Tian is Cai Cai?"

"She said she didn't know. She hadn't contacted her after graduation, and she never read online novels. She didn't know Cai Cai at all."

"What was the relationship between her and Cai Tian then?"

"She said that she had been working outside all the time and only went back to the dormitory when she was sleeping, so she didn't know Cai Tian well."

Dai Ran thought for a while, then nodded: "I see, you can find a way to ask again, see if you can find out more things, and call me if you need something."

After hanging up the phone, Dairan dialed Melon's number again. Melon said that they had just finished visiting their first roommate, and it went well, but there seemed to be no particularly useful information.

"Head, we are going to visit the second roommate now. According to the information Cao Cao gave, she seems to live in an urban village far away from the urban area. We are going to drive there. We will report to you when we have news."

Dai Ran told Yuan Yi the content of the phone call, Melon didn't say anything specific, but Cao Cao's words had some meaning.

"I don't know my roommates well, and I have no contact with them after graduation, and I don't even know that my roommates have become famous writers." Dai Ran said, "It's logical, but it's a bit strange logically."

Indeed, from a logical point of view, even if you live in the same room and attend classes in the same classroom, there is a possibility of unfamiliarity, and this possibility is not small.

It's just that Cai Tian became famous later, even if her roommates are not interested in online novels, they have no contact with Cai Tian herself, and they should be able to hear some of them more or less through other classmates.

Everyone came out of the same school, but their destinies are different after graduation. A well-known writer is a classmate or a roommate. In the eyes of many people, there will be a sense of honor and honor. Maybe at a dinner party with friends and colleagues Mention it with some pride.

But from another point of view, everyone studied together and graduated together. Why a few years later, my classmate became a famous writer while I was just an ordinary person struggling to survive with a salary of several thousand yuan a month? Office workers will be envious, jealous and may even feel dissatisfied.

Whether it is a proud "You know, that Cai Tian in your dormitory is famous now", or a bit sour "Hey, did you know, that Cai Tian is famous now, it is said that she can earn millions a year, She's really lucky." In this modern era of information explosion in the circle of friends, it seems a bit strange that she doesn't know about Cai Tian at all.

Yuan Yi looked at the time, it was almost time, Xu Tingting should be here soon: "We can see some clues from Xu Tingting."

The bell hanging on the door of the cafe made a "ding ding", and a girl walked in, wearing a decent business suit and a small satchel on her shoulder.

This girl is very similar to the photo on Cao Cao's profile. Although she wears light makeup, she should be Xu Tingting. Yuan Yi stood up and walked to the door. Xu Tingting was scanning the cafe with her eyes. Yuan Yi stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation to her. : "Ms. Xu, hello, please sit here."

Xu Tingting ([-])

Yuan Yi's impression is very different from the policeman in Xu Tingting's impression. At least this person looks more like a white-collar or a scientific researcher, and he speaks very softly. The originally nervous mood has calmed down a little bit, she said. Thank you, and walked to the corner with Yuan Yi, Dai Ran stood up and reached out to Xu Tingting: "Hi, Ms. Xu, I'm Dai Ran, and I'm the one calling you."

Xu Tingting sat down, Dai Ran and Yuan Yi showed Xu Tingting their IDs according to the regulations, and then cut straight to the point: "Excuse me, do you know Cai Tian?"

Xu Tingting nodded.

"What impression do you have of Cai Tian back then, can you tell me?"

Xu Tingting took the fruit tea that Yuan Yi poured for her, and recalled it carefully: "Cai Tian was very lively in our dormitory back then, and had a good relationship with us. Anyway, there are only six people in the dormitory, and we all have activities together."

"Are the six people on good terms?"

"Almost, the relationship in the university dormitory is different from that in high school before. Everyone is not that close, but they are also quite polite." Xu Tingting seemed to relax a lot, and spoke briskly, "I have the impression that everyone has a good relationship."

Dai Ran and Yuan Yi glanced at each other. If Xu Tingting remembered correctly, then there was another roommate who either remembered wrongly or did not mention it on purpose.

"Then do you know the writer Cai Cai?"

Xu Tingting laughed now: "Of course I know, Cai Tian is just Cai Cai, comrade police officer, please don't tell me that I don't know this."

"When did you know, can you remember?"

Xu Tingting shook her head: "Don't think about it, I remember it very clearly, because it was Cai Tian who told me."

"you?"

"Yes, I will chat at that time, through WeChat on my mobile phone."

"Can you tell me about when?"

Probably because she was afraid that her memory might be wrong, Xu Tingting thought carefully before giving the answer: "It was when her novel was officially published for the first time, and she was very happy to tell me that she was going to publish a book, and I also blessed her. she."

"Before this, did you know that Cai Tian was writing on the Internet?"

Xu Tingting shook her head helplessly when she heard this question: "Comrade police officer, I'm not afraid to tell you that before Cai Tian's book was officially published, no one knew that she was writing."

"Why? What is the reason?"

"I'm not saying bad things about anyone, but Cai Tian is pretty good in everything else, but there is one thing I can't understand, she is very vain." Xu Tingting gave Dai Ranyuan an example, "When I was a sophomore or a junior, A classmate in our dormitory organized a field hiking activity, that is, we went hiking together on weekends to camp in the wild. That time Cai Tian brought a tent and said that it was a limited edition of the brand, which could not be bought even if he had money. Later, when I was sleeping, another classmate and I found out that it was a counterfeit product, because the brand logo looked different from the real one.”

Dai Ran and Yuan Yi looked at each other again.

Xu Tingting was afraid that the two of them would think that she was spreading rumors, so she said another thing: "One year I celebrated my birthday, and they all prepared gifts for me. Cai Tian gave me a set of big-name makeup. I like it very much. Cai Tian She said she bought it online, and took a screenshot of the purchase record for me. When I first used the lipstick, I thought it smelled weird. I was worried that Cai Tian would be cheated, so I found the seller online and told me the order number. He asked him if he was selling fake products, and the boss told me that the order was indeed generated at the beginning, but he quickly applied for a return, and it was not even shipped, and he showed me the background records. "

"At that time, we were all students and didn't have much money. I was happy to give me anything for my birthday, even if I was treated to a meal in the cafeteria, it was really unnecessary." Xu Tingting said bluntly, "There are still some things to come, It’s not big, but she has such a character, so even if she writes, she won’t let us know, but it’s different after it’s published.”

Perhaps realizing that she talked too much, Xu Tingting blushed. After all, the person sitting in front of her was the policeman, not her girlfriend who was chatting, and she didn't know the reason why the police came to her, but she couldn't help it when the conversation started. Eloquent.

Yuan Yi: "Then do you still keep in touch?"

Xu Tingting drank a few sips of the fruit tea that had cooled down, trying to cool down her hot face, and shook her head again when she heard the words: "No more, I didn't contact you two or three years ago."

"Why no more contact?"

"After graduating for a long time, I can say less, and then I called her because of something, and her mobile phone was shut down. She probably changed the number, but she didn't tell me, so I didn't call her again. pass her."

"When did this happen?"

"It should be around 2012. I approached her because I wanted to go to work in the city where she was, and I planned to ask her something, but I couldn't find anyone. I didn't go there without relatives and no reason, so I stayed here."

"Have you read Cai Tian's book?"

"I've read some. When she first became famous, she sent me messages almost every day asking me to read her books, so I read some."

"What do you think of her writing?"

Xu Tingting raised her head and stared at the petal-shaped lamp above her head, probably recalling that Yuan Yi added some lemonade to her empty glass.

"Comrade police officer, I really can't say, because I don't remember much." Xu Tingting expressed embarrassment, "But I guess it may not meet my reading taste, otherwise I should always remember it, but I really can't remember it now." It's all too clear."

Dai Ran and Yuan Yi looked at each other for the third time. They both felt that this girl looked like a professional woman, but her personality was similar to that of a teenager.

Thinking of the ringtone of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo", Xu Tingting has never heard such a mobile phone ringtone before, and opened her eyes wide to see Dai Ran pick it up and walk outside.

"Head, we went to the address of Cai Tian's other roommate. It was a small single room in a rental house in an urban village, but there was no one in it. We asked the landlord, and he said that people here have been paying the rent." Melon was on the other side. A quick report, "We called her and her phone was turned off. We were afraid that she would faint in the house and no one would notice, so we asked the landlord to open the door. The inside was full of dust, and it didn't look like someone lived in it at all."

"what is her name?"

"Head, her name is Lu Qinqin."

old classmate

Dai Ran thought for a while, and then gave instructions to Melon: "Colleagues from the relevant departments are invited to come over and collect clues together, and then go to see if there is Lu Qinqin in the missing persons report record. After I go back, I will have a meeting to discuss it. be safe."

Sitting in the seat again, Yuan Yi was asking Xu Tingting about how she got along with Cai Tian when she was studying. Dai Ran looked serious and asked Xu Tingting, "Ms. Xu, Lu Qinqin, you should know each other too, right?"

Xu Tingting: "Yes, Cai Tian and I lived in the same dormitory at the time, but we haven't contacted each other for several years."

Dai Ran took out the photo from the file bag he carried with him and pushed it in front of Xu Tingting: "Can I trouble you to identify everyone's identity for us?"

Xu Tingting picked up the photo to look at, and touched the six girls on the photo with some nostalgia: "I also have this photo, we were still young at that time." She put the photo down and pointed to the girl on the far left , "This is Cai Tian."

Sure enough, it was the same person identified by melon porridge porridge before. Xu Tingting continued to click on the one next to Cai Tian: "She is Qinqin, this one is called Chen Siwei, and this one is me, this one is Zhang Ling, and the one on the far right is Yao red."

"By the way, you said Qinqin, I remembered that Qinqin seemed to be writing all the time when she was in college. I didn't ask specifically, but she seems to have published some stories."

Dai Ran was talking to Xu Tingting, and Yuan Yi found a special place in the photo that he hadn't paid much attention to before. Just now Xu Tingting pointed there with her finger and happened to see it.

Chen Siwei and Lu Qinqin were leaning together, very close to each other. Chen Siwei's right hand rested on Lu Qinqin's shoulder, and his left hand held Lu Qinqin's hand together. If a girl has a good relationship, this kind of action is not uncommon. The strange thing is that the two of them clasped their fingers together.

"Ms. Xu, forgive me for asking. There are several people in a dormitory. It is unlikely that everyone is equally close. Can you tell us whether there are two or a few people who have a particularly good relationship among the six of you?" Yuan Pushing the photo in front of Dai Ran, he tapped on the two interlocking hands, and Dai Ran immediately understood.

Xu Tingting was stunned for a few seconds, and her eyes began to dodge: "I'm sorry, I really don't remember much, but I just remember that everyone is on good terms."

"Ms. Xu, we came to you because there is a very important case related to your classmate, so I hope you can tell us everything." Dai Ran was very serious, and his tightly pursed lips gave people a big look. Feeling of oppression, "But please rest assured, no matter what you say, we will keep it secret."

Xu Tingting shrank back a little timidly, Dai Ran's serious look was quite bluffing, she was a little scared, but she didn't dare to say it.

Yuan Yi refilled Xu Tingting with some hot water, and said softly: "Ms. Xu, we didn't come to inquire about anything for personal reasons. We can't tell you the specific reasons for now, but the information you can provide is really important."

From the first time she saw Yuan Yi, Xu Tingting had unreasonable trust in this policeman. It might be because of the sincerity in his eyes, or it might be because of his soft-spoken tone that made people feel close. She hesitated for a few minutes, then whispered The voice confirmed again: "Can you guarantee that what I said will not be spread?"

Dai Ran nodded solemnly: "We promise."

After thinking for a few minutes with her head down again, Xu Tingting turned her head and looked around to make sure that no one else was at their table, and said in a voice that only three people could hear clearly: "Qinqin and Siwei are a pair. "

Dai Ran and Yuan Yi stayed together for a while. The era they live in has a high degree of gender acceptance for both parties in a relationship. Both the opposite sex and the same sex are worthy of respect, and the relationship between Lu Qinqin and Chen Siwei can also be seen from the photo. It's unusual, but they were a little surprised when Xu Tingting said it bluntly.

"Only the people in our dormitory know about this. Qinqin and Siwei usually go to class, eat and study together, but this is the case with girls who are close friends in school, so no one suspects anything." Xu Tingting said while looking around, For fear that someone will hear, "We were very surprised when we first found out, because at that time, not many people could accept this kind of relationship, but after a long time, we found that there was nothing wrong with the two of them except that they were a little closer, and there was nothing wrong with them." People hate them or something."

"Then how do you know that the two of them are in this relationship?"

"It was Si Si who said it. At that time in the dormitory, everyone was there. She said it suddenly, and Qinqin also admitted it." Xu Tingting sighed at this point, "But I heard that the two of them also separated after graduation. .”

"Who told you this?"

"Qinqin, it's not long after graduation. We met a few times. She told me that she was separated from Siwei, and she looked very sad."

"The reason, did she tell you?"

"No, but I think the reality is cruel. Thinking family conditions are very good. Qinqin's family seems to be a single-parent family. She failed the civil service exam after graduation, and the two girls want to live together as a couple, too. Difficult."

Yuan Yi suddenly thought of something, and he took the printed documents of Cao Cao to compare. The classmate in the city next door to them, the one Cao Cao visited, was called Chen Siwei.

Regardless of whether Chen Siwei is familiar with Cai Tian or not, it is impossible for her not to be familiar with Lu Qinqin.

"Later, none of us had contact. Only Yao Hong and I have been living in the same city, so we have always had a good relationship."

Dai Ran thought for a while, he didn't have anything to ask Xu Tingting for now, he glanced at Yuan Yi, Yuan Yi shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and looking at the time, it was almost Xu Tingting's afternoon work time.

"Today, I really appreciate Ms. Xu's cooperation. Excuse me." Dai Ran once again reached out to shake Xu Tingting's hand. Less useful clues.

Xu Tingting nodded to the two of them, intending to go back to the company. When she walked to the door, she seemed to think of something, turned around and walked back, and asked hesitantly, "You two, did something happen to my roommate? You are the police, don't you?" You came to me for no reason."

Dai Ran: "I'm sorry, Ms. Xu, we have internal rules, and we can't tell you anything now. If we can tell you later, we will definitely contact you."

Xu Tingting nodded disappointedly: "If my roommate has something to do and needs help, please let me know. Although I haven't contacted them for several years, if I can help them, I would like to help."

"must."

After leaving the cafe, Dai Ran immediately drove Yuan Yi to Yao Hong's address, but Lu Qinqin was gone, and Chen Siwei obviously had something to hide, they had to go back as soon as possible.

The process of meeting Yao Hong went very smoothly. Yao Hong's personality was quieter than Xu Tingting's, and she was not as chatty. She only answered what Dai Ran and Yuan Yi asked. But judging from the information obtained by Yao Hong, the situation she said It is similar to Xu Tingting, especially the relationship between Lu Qinqin and Chen Siwei should be the same as the description written by Lu Qinqin in college.

Unexpectedly, Dai Ran hurried back immediately, it was already dark, Yuan Yi worried that Dai Ran would be tired and unsafe after driving for several hours, so he proposed to drive by himself.

After changing the location, Dai Ran told Yuan Yi that both Cao Cao and Melon had sent him messages, that the missing Lu Qinqin was not included in the missing persons report, and that the house had been unoccupied for a long time, and all the books published by Cai Tian were found. , They have sealed the evidence bag and brought it back to the office.

Cao Cao said that Chen Siwei still didn't say anything, only that he didn't know anything and didn't know Cai Tian well.

"It is understandable for Chen Siwei to say that she is not familiar with Cai Tian, ​​but why does she say that she is not familiar with others? Especially Lu Qinqin, the two have such a close relationship." This is the most puzzling point for Yuan Yi.

Dai Ran also couldn't figure it out: "Let's go back to the meeting and let Cao Cao explain it in detail."

There are far fewer cars on the highway at night, Yuan Yi's driving skills are very high, and he drives fast and steadily, Dai Ran can't help falling asleep until Yuan Yi gently pushes him: "We are here."

He jumped up from the seat like an electric shock. Sure enough, the car had already parked in the small courtyard. The lights on the third floor were brightly lit. The others should have returned.

"I fell asleep unexpectedly, I'm so sorry." Dai Ran always thought that he could survive, but he fell asleep in the car unexpectedly.

Yuan Yi went upstairs with him: "It's nothing, you didn't sleep well yesterday."

When they entered the conference room, the other three people were there. The rice cooker on the small table next to them was turned on, and several steamed buns seemed to be warming up on their faces.

"Head, Yiyi, you haven't eaten yet, let's eat the buns first." Congee raised his head from the notebook and pointed to the rice cooker, "There are many things to do today, eat whatever you want."

Passed Yuan Yi or two, and took two for himself, after a few big gulps, Dai Ran drank a big mouthful of hot water, exhaled heavily, feeling refreshed again, and could continue to cook.

"How about it? Tell me in detail about the clues you received today. Cao □ will come first, what's the situation?"

"We went to find Chen Siwei, and she said that she and Cai Tian were indeed roommates and classmates, but she didn't know anything other than the name and the person. I asked her if she knew that Cai Tian was stepping on you. Chen Siwei said that he never contacted the people in the dormitory after graduation, and he doesn’t usually read novels, so he doesn’t know.” Cao Cao looked very helpless, “I just asked her a few words, and I came back when I had no choice. of."

"Did you show her the group photo in Cai Tian's book?"

"Look, she said everyone's name right away, but still said that it was with them all.
