Within a short period of one month, homicides occurred one after another in Fangcheng, and it was difficult to solve them for a long time. This undoubtedly brought a certain degree of panic to the lives of citizens.A cloud of shadows condensed in everyone's heart, deepening and increasing day by day, and no one knew what kind of terrible demons were hidden under the shadows.

Another rainy day.

The speeding car stopped abruptly downstairs of the First Publishing House. Before getting out of the car, Feng Siwei frowned and asked harshly, "Are you really okay?"

Bai Tan put one foot out, shook the navy blue umbrella in his hand, looked up at the gray sky, and smiled slightly: "As you said, "Truth" has to be suspended, everyone has reached a consensus ,I came here today to discuss details, sign documents and so on, what can I do?"

Although he was smiling, Feng Siwei didn't know why, but he still instinctively felt the melancholy in Bai Tan's heart. He couldn't comfort others, so he stiffly pulled the cold lines on his face, "It will be better, wait until the wind calms down." If it goes on, "Truth" can be reissued."

Bai Tan glanced at the other party. This tough, rough, unsmiling, yet intelligent man always reminded him of a robot with a well-set program and everything in order. He nodded and accepted Feng Siwei's kindness. Urging: "Didn't you answer the phone just now, saying that there is something urgent in the bureau? Hurry up, I should be fine soon."

Holding the umbrella in one hand, Bai Tan walked quickly towards the First Publishing House. Xu Shubai stood at the door, looking out from a distance. The white lining and the light blue thin knit sweater were so refreshing that they were not stained with worldly dust.

Feng Siwei, who was backing up the car, saw it inadvertently, and the inexplicable sense of familiarity filled his heart again. It was clearly a stranger he had never met, but he understood the other person's preferences and mood in an instant.

It was as if, in each other's eyes, both parties were transparent people.

Feng Siwei concluded that the other party felt the same way when he saw him.

Gu Jianrong was like this, Xu Shubai was like this, Feng Siwei clenched the steering wheel tightly, looked at the continuous rain, and muttered to himself: What's wrong with this world...

In the end, Feng Siwei stepped on the accelerator and left at a high speed.

"Senior brother, why did you come down?" Bai Tan closed the umbrella and greeted Xu Shubai with a smile.

Xu Shubai retracted his gaze from a distance, and smiled: "It's not to pick you up, it's to come out to get some air."

Because the matter is so important, it has alarmed the upper management of the First Publishing House, and the police demanded to cooperate with their work, it is imperative to stop the printing of "The Truth". compensation made.

Everyone held a meeting and discussed all morning before slowly finalizing all the contents. When he walked out of the meeting room, Bai Tan was obviously in a low mood, so Xu Shubai escorted him into the elevator.

Bai Tan thought for a while, calmed down, and said to Xu Shubai: "I'm sorry, senior brother, I should have listened to your advice before, maybe I could have saved one more life."

Xu Shubai took a step forward, rubbed Bai Tan's soft black hair, his expression was a little difficult to understand, "Fool, sooner or later the day when the beast will come out of its box, it would be nice if it could be delayed for a while, if not, just face it earlier It's just reality."

What he said had a lot of meaning, Bai Tan heard half of it, as if he had caught some clues, and if he tried to search carefully, there was no trace.

The elevator is cramped and the space is limited. Xu Shubai is only a short distance away from Bai Tan, and the bookish air rushing towards his face makes him a little uncomfortable, so he takes a step back calmly.

Xu Shubai, who has always been considerate, seemed to be a different person, pretending not to understand Bai Tan's evasive attitude, and leaned forward slightly, moving forward, the warm and clear breath slowly blowing past, quietly dyeing Bai Tan's face red ear tips.

Embarrassed and at a loss, Bai Tan muttered: "Senior brother..."

Xu Shubai seemed to utter a vague syllable: "Huh?" The voice was clear and sweet, full of magnetism, and extremely seductive.

Hey, you can flirt but you can't flirt!

"Bai Tan." Xu Shubai slowly spit out the name with his mouth in his mouth, his starry eyes bent into crescents, inexplicably revealing a gentle and tender friendship, "There is one thing I have always wanted to ask you, I wonder if you will agree... ..."

Bai Tan huddled in the corner like a quail, his chest was pounding, he seemed to sense what Xu Shubai was about to say, raised his head, and said incoherently: "Brother, you, stop talking..."

There is a small wall lamp installed in the elevator car, and the dim yellow and soft light drifts down, coating the young man with a layer of warm color, crow blue short hair, dark blue long eyebrows, peach blossom eyes smudged with intoxicating crimson, black and white are distinct, looking forward with spirit, and that The complexion of fat and beautiful jade, the snow-white teeth, the dark red cinnabar mole, and the lips that were carmine due to the owner's unconscious gnashing...

At first glance, it is really rich and colorful, with harmonious matching, it is really a unique and fascinating picture.

Xu Shubai smiled, and the two oval-shaped spectacle lenses seemed to be ice floes covering his face, reflecting the green light, and said in a pitiful and loving tone: "Junior brother, you must not look like this." Be seen by the second person, otherwise..."

Otherwise, I don't know what kind of madness the world will fall into.

The elevator door opened with a "ding", but Bai Tan didn't even look at it, and rushed out directly.

Behind him, Xu Shubai took off his gold-rimmed glasses, and there was a glimmer of danger in his eyes, as well as an unstoppable ambition. He stroked the corner of his lips, and said excitedly and pitifully: "Ah, little animal Seems to have noticed something, and ran away impatiently..."

When Bai Tan arrived home, Gu Jianrong was about to go downstairs with two big black plastic bags in his hands, when Bai Tan asked, "What are you doing?"

Gu Jianrong said calmly, "Throw out the trash."

Bai Tan bent over to change his shoes, and said casually: "Why do you go out and throw these away every day, where did you get so much rubbish at home?"

It was full of gifts from fans. Gu Jianrong kept it a secret from Bai Tan and never let him get in touch with him. Of course Bai Tan didn't know about it, so Gu Jianrong just made up an excuse and passed on vaguely.

Bai Tan thinks that the three homicides in Fangcheng are happening in different locations, the time of crime is irregular, and the victims have no intersection. The only connection seems to be that they are all more or less related to him, and, The method of death corresponds to the first three volumes of the manga.

Then, if the manga is no longer on sale, the murderer may settle down and buy Feng Siwei some time for his investigation work.

Unfortunately, Bai Tan's prediction was too naive.

The official blog of the First Publishing House made a statement, saying that because some plots of "The Truth" need to be adjusted, the publication is suspended. If readers wish, they can also take the authentic products of the first three volumes to the First Publishing House, or relevant Cooperate with bookstores to return the goods, and First Publishing House is willing to buy them back.

Immediately after the statement was issued, the official blog of First Publishing House exploded. Fans reacted fiercely. They disagreed with the publishing house's move. Some threatened to send razor blades to the publishing house. There were also people who insisted that the publishing house bullied the weak and forced the original author "Green Sandalwood" to sign an agreement, perhaps restricting the other party's personal freedom...

The fans were talking about it, and all kinds of rumors became more and more outrageous. Some people started to say that Bai Tan was kidnapped by the First Publishing House. Believe it or not.

The phone number of the First Publishing House was almost exploded. Complaints, abuse, foul language, personal attacks, fans did everything they could. Every hour and every minute, more netizens joined in, and they even went to In front of the First Publishing House, a bloody demonstration banner was pulled up, and they sat in a sit-in all day and all night, no matter what the security guards tried to drive them away.

The staff of the First Publishing House were all terrified, they couldn’t go to work normally at all, and their personal information was leaked somehow, and they received threatening text messages one after another on their mobile phones, and someone directly blocked the door, forcing them to admit their mistakes , Apologize to the author of "The Truth".

As early as the beginning, when the First Publishing House announced the news, Bai Tan was asked to cooperate. He edited a long text on his personal Weibo. First, he apologized and sincerely thanked the readers for their support. It is to express my understanding of the First Publishing House, and also sincerely explain the flaws in "The Truth" and the negative impact it has brought to society. Finally, I hope everyone can understand each other and see you in the future.

However, the fans turned a blind eye to Bai Tan's words. No matter what he explained, they believed that the public relations department of First Publishing House was hiding behind the mobile phone in an attempt to confuse the public. The more Bai Tan said, the more serious the fans' backlash.

While ordering the First Publishing House to stop when it is too late, they strongly resist any works of the First Publishing House except "The Truth", and call on everyone to take action to defend the original author.

The situation became more and more out of control, and the top executives of the First Publishing House were so busy that they had no choice but to ask Bai Tan to show up to appease the fans. Bai Tan was at his wit's end when he was alone, no matter what he did online Analyzing the reasons and distinguishing the advantages and disadvantages can't make any splash. The proposal of the First Publishing House is exactly what he wanted, and Bai Tan quickly agreed.

Before setting off, Gu Jianrong looked at Bai Tan, who was dressed in a pure white casual suit and had just been styled, and was a little more dazzling than usual, and said unhappily, "Are you really going to the press conference?"

Taking advantage of ten minutes of free time, Bai Tan was reading the prepared speech, without raising his head, he said: "I always feel that this time is not easy, under normal circumstances, no matter how much you like someone, It shouldn’t be so fanatical, it involves so many people, and it spreads so widely, I’m afraid that if we don’t stop it, there will be big troubles sooner or later.”

Gu Jianrong leaned in front of the glass window, looking at the chaotic street, the excited crowd, sneered, and sarcastically said: "Look at their appearance, it looks like believers are worshiping gods."

Everyone knows that the First Publishing House is going to hold a press conference today, and the original author of "The Truth" will be present, so the fans divided into several groups, surrounded the office building of the First Publishing House, and finally followed in a black nanny After the car, he chased to Bai Tan downstairs.

That group of fans, men and women, young and old, all occupations and ages, they are cheering, shouting, and using all their strength to declare their love for Bai Tan. In the process of coming, they were accidentally injured, but they couldn't extinguish their enthusiasm.

The clothes are disheveled, the description is sloppy, the hair is disheveled, and the face is covered with blood...

Office workers, middle school students, aunts selling vegetables, and uncles doing morning exercises, whenever someone passes by, as long as they stop for a while, they will be attracted to them without exception, shouting Bai Tan's pseudonym hoarsely.

Bai Tan only glanced at it, and then looked away in embarrassment. This appearance, he doesn't look like a fan, it looks like, like...

"It seems to have been infected by a virus and completely brainwashed." Gu Jianrong put down the curtains, and he guessed Bai Tan's thoughts at a glance, calmly spoke, and smiled secretly: "Is it scary? This fiery and hopeless love is for you. Say, another form of hell?"
